Is This A Nigerian Accent? by Afam4eva(m): 11:03am On Nov 13, 2012
This guy tries imitating about 26 different accents by speaking randomly in English. The last one he did was the Nigerian accent. I don't think that;s a NIgerian accent though it's kinda similar to the IGBO accent. I've also noticed that foreigners use this particular accent to represent the Nigerian accent. Is there actually any accent that sounds like that in Nigeria?

That doesnt sound igbo.This guy is very good but i think he got the nigerian one wrong.
If you want to hear igbo accent,listen to Patrick Ithogheh,for yoruba,listen to Jegede Sokoya.

Where is this general accent spoken? Don't they know that every ethnic group have an accent that's peculiar to them. Even withing an ethnic group, accents vary.
