CNN Ranked Nigerian Accent At 5th Sexiest Accent In The World.

List of 12 hottest accents all over the world was made by CNN, and to my surprise, Nigerian accent was listed at Number 5. Wow.
Italy was at Number 1, followed by French and Spanish at number 2 and 3 respectively, and Irish at number 6.
British accent was ranked at number 7 and american accent at number 8.



This was how CNN described Nigerian accent, quite offensive. Must they mention 'scam' when talking about Nigeria? As in, what the hell?!


Famous tongues: King Sunny Adé, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde
Dignified, with just a hint of willful naiveté, the deep, rich "oh's" and "eh's" of Naija bend the English language without breaking it, arousing tremors in places other languages can't reach. Kinda makes the occasional phone scam worth the swindle.


Sounds like: The THX intro with teeth.



Some Nigerians are actually worth giving your bank account information to..
