I’m Nigerian-American and my boyfriend is Nigerian.. we are cracking up at this video lol
The difference is hilarious haha
I have a Nigerian friend cuz i lived somewhere in the Philippines
Story
Boy,this is one of numerous Yoruba accents, stop already Nigeria has soooo many English accents, listen to President MB broadcast to the country.
@@similoluwadurojaiye1295 what do you mean
Fun fact: Nigerian accent and Singaporean accent (or Singlish) sounds similar
I'm obsessed with the Nigerian accent. Love my Nigerian bros, from Pakistan❤
I'm 2% nigerian, and I do the accent pretty good. lmao
I love the way my Nigerian friends talk! I miss them, which led me to your video! Much love! :)
She's looking at you like you're crazy Boy 😅 British Accent 😂
“Halluminium”, “Hamen” are Yoruba Accents. The Igbos and the rest of Nigerians will pronounce it as “Aluminium”, “Amen”
You should explain it when your tribal accent kick in.
guy you're funny
You are lying igbo accent is very strong you dont know it because you are igbo
@@godwinejiofor8064 do you pronounce Aluminum as "Haluminum" or "Aluminium" and Amen as "Hamen" or "Amen" based on your Igbo accent? What's your point exactly?
My father has such a Yoruba accent it makes me cackle
🤣🤣🤣true
Haha! Y'all are so cute! I was looking up where the southern accent came from (hi from Alabama!) then I found this gem and I'm so glad 😂😍
I’m an alabamian as well🙂 Nigerian as well
Wow she beautiful! 😀
My gf is Nigerian and she can do the accent perfectly, but her normal accent sounds American. Lol
Good point about the "pro"s in produce, project, etc. A lot of these pronunciations are interchangeable in American accent. Envelope either way by the same person, same with "either" and "route". Guessing there's more of a British influence to the Nigerian English. My favorite was "Habaty" versus "Erbull tee".
LOL 😹 Aluminum.. Augustus: HAluminum 😹
Our Tomatoes. 😁
The "H" factor! Comes with the Yoruba package.
I watched this because I’ll be living with a guy from Nigeria over the summer. I’m so ready now. I love the accent and there are only a few words that you said that are vastly different pronunciation. Like aluminum
Gracious goodness you will be shocked all Nigerians don't sound the same. We have so many different ways we sound depending on the area one grew up
@@ngozianiude3745 exactly because in my opinion there's no actual Nigerian accent. Some people just speak more refined than others
I'm Kenyan. I just realised we speak a mixture of British and American English without caring. However, the British one is more prominent.
Im from malaysia, i really love africa’s accent. I only saw them once or twice in my real life. Never spoke with one, love to befriend with one or two
This really helps me out for a voice acting gig im trying to nail. This is honestly perfect to get the nigerian accent down. Thank you for this, also was funny to see your girlfriends reactions. Hope your day is going well friends.
When he said "Herb tea" I thought he was saying "how about you" lol 😂
He doesn't use the British pronunciation of "vitamin" with the short "i" sound, which I've heard other Nigerians use.
He both Said Automobile together.
Watching this as I have a very good friend with this accent, and I’m trying to understand her better
due simpatici ragazzi
schedule is really funny, Chinese english is similar with amrican english too.I'm work at nigeria,so when i first time heard somebody said schedule.LOL. make me so confusion,and i confirm again.
This is super funny!!! Let me enjoy the rest jare
hahaha "H" factor
love this! you should try a Maine Accent
I am very Nigerian (Igbo) & we do not sound like that, Bro. You're trying too hard to accentify things. 🤣🤣
thanks for the video is very nice
You have a very strong Nigerian accent
@Dominion Ogunjinrin i don’t talk like that and I am a Nigerian .. it all depends on how you train yourself actually ...
I pride myself in speaking good English ...I might have traces of the accent but definitely not as strong as this
@Dominion Ogunjinrin did I ever say anything was wrong with it ?
Just pointing out the fact that his accent is strong and not everyone talks that way because people always have a misconception with how Nigerians speak
Hey, so i recently moved to the US, and i get nervous whenever i want to talk because of my accent. I felt like i should just go all out Nigerian accent instead of trying to speak American and reduce my self confidence. What o you think?
@@haziri5118 I understand the nervousness, many people in the United States have trouble understanding accents if they are not expecting to hear one🤦🏾♀️ just speak very slowly and clearly and you should be fine. Don’t feel discouraged if you have to repeat yourself either. Indians, Chinese/Asian, and Caribbean people go through this as well.
I live in London and I have Nigerian neighbours. I just love their accent!
Augustus 5:00 you had me going like what's that😂😂😂
hahahahaha
This was so cute! Love it!
Thanks! This was educational!
0:54 Hmm yall realize America was also colonized by the British right??
American historians don't project British rule as colonization, that's why unlike Canada they don't belong to the Commonwealth. I think they view themselves are conquerors of the British, we hear them talk of Boston Tea party etc etc,.
The US was originally colonised by the Dutch. New York was New Amsterdam. If you ever hear Dutch people speak English they sound much more "American" then most British people
Lol.. Nigerian English always ends up to the nearest mother tongue 😁😁😁😁😁
I love this ❤️
We can't help it my brother.
I'm Indian I utter schedule like shedule🤭🤭
That’s normal
I'm African-indian ( African American) and it's skedhule
Im 50% nigerian and I came here to see and hear what nigerians sound like and I find it interesting
When the brotha (brother) pronounced SCHEDULE, I assumed he said SHADOW.
Lollll
I love you'll this made me chuckle.. my husband pronounce his words the same. My husband says it's proper lol
lol... Yes. hahaha Alexis had to be patient to get a hang of it.
@@live.learn.repeat.4267 I love his accent! My kids says watah now 😂😂😂😂
The Man = Wata
The Girl = Water
Me = WUUUUUUUDTH
I think it’s more of you Nigerian accents than uk I think most African countries over pronounce words
British accent is definitely not the same as Nigerian accent! Not even close 🤣
It’s a lot more similar than the American accent. There are definitely similarities. It’s why British Nigerians find code switching a bit easier
Interesting content 👍 in my opinion English accent depends on aspects like how you pronounce the long and short vowels together with articulation and intonation
I prefer his accent to hers. 'WaTAH' is much better way to say water than 'wodder'. 💦
Would love to hear terminology used more commonly, but thank you both for the contribution. 🦋
“No.”
😆
This is really sweet, keep it up pls
I would like to have some Nigerian friends
Hi, your movie was very cool, I'm speaking at Fortaleza. I speak portuguese if want can help. Would like have them as friends. Apologize mistakes words.
Omg !!!!!!! I think we have the same accent in Singapore!!!!!!!!!!🎉
Omo Yoruba..
Guy must be from Lagos... with the way he pronounced aluminium with a H and schedule...✌🏾 I'm from port harcourt nd my accent is different
We have the ch in English that a lot of languages don't
For almost all of those words the American pronunciation is literal. For example, words ending in "er"
Cabana - Cabana - Banana Banana LoL
hahaha... close
English is English no matter the accent. If the person knows the language is suppose to understand every accent period. Also, I speak Spanish and can have a normal conversation without asking to repeat.
I'm interested to know your feelings on the state of race relations and racism and the lack or ubiquity of it, and if you love or hate America.
As a british english speaker,i'll say that i don't understand well the nigerian and american accents in some words they said in the video.
why did you mention that Nigeria was colonized but did not mention that The part of America which became the United States over time was also colonized? People who know little history may get a wrong idea.
your video got recommended in timeline..man.. keep going..
i am from sri lanka
I'm sorry but why is he considering himself a British English speaker?
That guy on the blue is the pure Nigerian man
Yes na!
@@live.learn.repeat.4267 yeah man i always love African people
USA was also a British colony. Your accent is due to the fact that you still retain your original language
The one word y’all should do is: hippopotamus... I get into this all the time. It’s a five syllables word but Nigerians and Americans place the syllables in different places. So Nigerians will say hip-po-po-ta-mus but Americas go hip-po-pot-amus.... Too dang funny... Oh, another word is dove...
The one that gets me is: necessary. I almost got into a fight with my American born Nigerian cousins over that word. Lol
Lmmfaoooooooooo my guys H factor is KILLING THIS SHIT.
Sorry guy that is heavy Nigerian English, a Ghanaian would say it differently
Left after the 1 hour intro
It's an Nigerian English not a Bristish one bro. Much love from Ivry (Ivory Coast).
Some British people say “Wo’ah” instead of Water. They don’t usually pronounce their t. British don’t say Habal tea. They say it the same as Americans. Are you Yoruba? You start every vowel with H. 😂
I want to learn Nigerian accent , is it even possible ?😅
Americans say envelope same way as Nigerian in NY
Hilarious....!!!
Thank you for watching!
Just and FYI AMERICANS colonized by the British as well
American was never colonized by British. The original 12 colonies were British colonies. America was not in existence until 1776. In the 245 year history, this country has never been colonized, this is why he revolutionary war was fought. The colonist fought Britain to protect the slavery in the south, freedom from taxation, and the right to print their own money. But basically to protect the institution of slavery which is the foundation of the country. The US is a slave nation not a nation of slaves. Everything about this country is to keep people in a state of slavery.
@@sabrinahoward5891 Wrong! The British thirteen colonies also known as the AMERICAN colonies was a system of colonies governed and ruled by the British monarch. They controlled territories starting 1607 and dissolved in 1776. The key word is dissolved. America like any country that was colonized gained its independence from Britain in 1776. If you are going to assert the claim that America was never colonized because they were not a country yet, then please conceded that majority of third world countries are in the same boat. This is definitely both a nation of slaves and a slave nation. Understand you must first comprehend history before you can teach it. Next
Medsin, yoguts, Sheadool, wata
So you're a Yoruba guy¿ 😃
The way you guys look at each other is getting me jealous 🤧
I ❤️❤️❤️ the Nigerian accent.
I think you mean pronunciation
Wata 😂😂
You both look Nigerian to me. Love it.

Nigerian accent vs American accent, not british accent
Thanks to WWE Superstar Apollo Crews i came here...😁
Teach her how to speak some yoruba in your next video.. lol
lol... I have kuku tried several times ehn
I think she is Nigerian American she has a tiny accent
Bro you have to work on your British accent too.Most of the words that you pronounced as a claim of British accent is even wrong like Aluminium(you are making h sound which is not in English one), Vitamin etc.
where are you from ?
Can you not repeat the word she says? You should concentrate on your own words and let her do same instead of trying to confuse people while trying to teach them..
Oloriboruko ogun
Motha! and Fatha! Wata!.
l like the “er” (s)
Hilarious. But he actually has a Nigerian accent, not British. LOL
Estou morrendo de Rir kkkkkk
you learnt English language but I bet no or minimal English literature
😂😂😂😂😂
Dude, you are not speaking with British accent. It's not even close..
Sorry, the accent was *SO THICK* you were incomprehensible.
I love my naija accents oh ...😂😂
The nigerian isn't pronouncing english correctly at all he just thinks he îs.
they take so long talking about absolutely nothing
Nigerians you don't speak English, you speak something else not English lol
Really ?
Haha. Jamaicans are the same. The evolved pigeon sounds quite far away from the original English language
Depends on the individual actually! Some Nigerians speak good !
You're right ,
But not just Nigerians even majority of an Africans like that😂
@@confused5546 yeah really. But not Nigerians only.
