Nigerians travel abroad a lot and they tend to pick up the country’s accent in no time. Sometimes they come out well, but most times they sound funny.

“All that is for forming,its not a requirement,”

BattaBox presenter in Canada, Precious, asks Nigerians living in Canada – How long for a Nigerian to get a Canadian accent?

“Maybe 6 months to a year,” replies one guy

Although there are many people who live abroad for many years but still cannot get the accent.

“If you roll with Nigerians all the time, you can never get the accent,” replies one guy

Do you think its important for Nigerians to pick up foreign accents? Gist us.

    half of my childhood was in the UK, and i’ve been here for 14 years now, so
    it’s understandable that i’ve developed an actual accent, but funny thing
    is i have to fake a nigerian-british accent when i’m talking to my parents
    or other elders… because if i try the british thing, all i hear my
    parent’s saying is “what? ehn? ehn? what did you say?, mi o gbọ?” five
    million times.
