Nollywood Actress and Director of Rok studios, Mary Remmy Njoku speaks against those who sees an avarage Nigerian speaking local accents as Local person.
The movie producer shared a post on her Instagram page, urging Nigerians to ’embrace our Nigerian accents, stating that its our identity’.
Mary Njoku said, “To a fool, local person is an insult to a Nigerian who has a thick Nigerian accent and doesn’t follow Nigeria fashion trends. I have seen someone who has barely left Surulere, refer to another who moved from Ekiti a local girl. The Indians in Anthony with heavy accents aren’t locals. English no be their language and not ours too”
She further advised that “let’s stop being ignorant and embrace our Nigerian accents, it’s our identity. We can continue with I wanna gonna when we travel abroad for easier communication I guess”.
