Why do Nigerians, both male and female, think acting westernized will them attention, while trying to toast or holla at a fellow Nigerian?
This is becoming famous amongst the men.
I don't get it, am I the only one who thinks it's annoying?

abeg, dnt put words in my put grin Nigerian way? lipsrsealed
No, you know what I mean jor.
You know how they try to sound like they're American while they're talking to you? To impress, I guess. undecided
The worst part of my listening skill is trying to differentiate their "How are you doing" from "ara you doing".

@ Topic.

It depends on the girl in question for me. . . .
Some girls like the "akata-ish" flavor. . . .
while some love "tiwa ntiwa". . . .
so I think its left for the guy to determine what type of girl he's about to start her project.
Less i forget. . .the British accent kills the American girls like nukes!
