"Prestigious British passport!"

I wonder when the Nigerian passport will be described in such glowing terms?

i wonder why you people are congratulating him ? if it was to be some other country they will ban him from playing for his national team, i watched his interview the other day and he was trying to speak with an accent ? When will Nigerians be Original ? Russians live in America for years and even German's or Italians but you only know  them when they speak English because they are original to their mother tongue, but any Nigeria who have the opportunity to live in such area just 3 months already forms an accent ?  his application for British citizenship simply means to me he is not proud been a Nigeria and denying his country.  hope they allow him to play for  England nation team since he is now a  British citizen. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 



You made some good points and observations, but with the wrong premises....What you call 'form accent' is a reality many immigrates face and many have to pay good money to Language instructors to speak that way, so that they can get a job a feed their family and survive in a foreign country. It is a very bad sight to behold when during an interview after answering the interviewer in your normal speech patter and the person say, "I do not understand what you just said, please repeat yourself".

Also, just like you detect Russians', Germans' or Italians' accents when they speak English in Nigeria, also native British people also detect the Nigeria accent, when even people like Mikel speaks with what you just called 'formed accent' but now they understand him more. Plus there places in UK where people speaks Yoruba, Ibo in the publicly and you will not even know you are in UK, you will think you are in Nigeria.

Believe me, many immigrates do not 'form accents' and many want to switch it off, when they come home or speaking with a Nigerian, but because it is learned and they are use to it, they unconsciously speak that way and they truly are not getting any feedback from the person listening to switch.

I am based in the US, when I hear a Nigeria speaks even on the phone with the US accent, I know they are from Nigeria. You cannot eliminate your accent, you can only mask them and a careful listener will detect them.

Sir, I beg to disagree with you in all ways. (1) Getting a British passport doesn't make him disrespect his Nigerian passport 'cause there's something called dual citizenship and you 're entitled to it as long as you can meet some criterias

(2) Someone just helped me about with my second point (concerning the issue of accent), it's very hard for citizens i,e Americans, British, French to understand an African speaking their language with an African accent thereby making one repeat oneself and causing one embarrassment.So it's better to learn to speak the language with their own accent or else communication won't be possible.
