DeleteSo are ur parents. Since nigerians are full of shit. And u r reading nigerian blogs. Omo ale, omo jati jati.
DeleteSince nigerians are full of shit, so are your parents.
DeleteOga Americana, no one is claiming you. You are nobody
DeleteShame on you mr americana shit. I live in US and they never talk about immigrants without linking their ancestry.FYI Americans dont want u either. African americans are looking for their roots while u are misbehaving. Nonsense
DeleteGood to know.
ReplyDeleteOK na keeping my fingers cross.
ReplyDeleteIs this not the film they said Funke Akindele and Genny were in ?
ReplyDeleteIts good but why no Nigerians staying here in the movie ?
ReplyDeleteAll the ones mentioned up there have forgotten about Nigeria, they are pure American
Thank you.
DeleteHow is this news?
ReplyDeleteOk all of them be Americans na....
ReplyDeleteThey have to use them because of accent. You don't want them to start subtitling their movie for their audience to understand our thick acccent. You go fear 'ouse' instead of 'house'. ' e his'instead of 'he
ReplyDeleteis'. 'An otel' intead of 'a hotel'. They want to make it easier for their audience biko.
Loooool exactly!!! Why are y’all so salty geez
DeleteLmfaooo
DeleteHahahahahahahahahaha @ an otel.
Delete"Otel, e, ouse" and all the above mentioned pronunciations are exclusive to the Yoruba people (ethnic group) . Let me remind you that we have over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria and over 500 languages in Nigerian alone. Making us the only country in the world with that much different tribes and tongues still together as a Nation. Don't try to trivialize a whole nation into just one accent. The Yoruba accent doesn't define us. The way a Tiv man speaks is different from a Jos man, the way an Igbo man speaks is different from a Kano man, the way a calabar man speaks is different from Bayelsan man. Accent doesn't come to play here but choice. Even the Prince of wakanda does he sound Nigerian to you when he speaks? He sounds South African. So this has nothing to do with our "heavy accent"dont mock what you don't understand. After all they watch our movies. How do they understand it if it's that "heavy"?
DeleteYou better open your mind. English too is an accent. No one has the monopoly of proper speaking. It's all a choice.
Anon 17:59...peep Retta A response and receive the sense you don't know that you are in desperate need of. You and the narrow minded peeps that applauded you.
DeleteThat an otel can vex me ehhh
ReplyDeleteLike seriously, how can one use an for hotel for goodness sake.
Well since you want to name the actors who are of naija decent, then you missed isaac de bankole
