Nathaniel the Nigerian Accountancy Student. Anyone who went to a British Polytechnic-turned-University in the 1990's (especially if doing a course / module in accountancy, law, business or civ eng) would have come across a Nathan at the very first lecture. And every tutorial/seminar ever after.
Felix Dexter has got to be one of the greatest comic impersonators out of this country..Please just take it for the context that it was done in..all in jest, with a lil piss take but no offence...enjoy!
this was a shit impression but back then they had nothing to compare it to becausemost black comedians were jamaican unlike now that africans have taken over.
You can't live in the UK - Nigerians have had a strong presence there for many years. Everyone knows what a Nigerian sounds like - the brilliance is in his take on a way of thinking.
your befuddled as at that time the west indian presence was more fashionable and little was known about nigerians or any other africans because back then it wasn't "cool" to be african.
further more this is funny for it's time.
you want to see a real impressionist check out any of the following comics
I studied in London with MANY Nigerians, and this guy is BRILLIANTLY making fun of many of their peculiarities. I heard many conversations very much like this.
The accent is obviously not accurate. So what? That's not necessary for great satire.
no you have lost the point the comment you initially replied stated all this, i said the accent was not good but it was okay because at the time nigerians weren't as mainstream as they are now,
but if ypou really wan't to be deep then no he isn't satirising the average nigerian he's satirisisng yorubas who do not make up the majority using a cheap stereotype(wich was funny at the time) .
also a great impression makes the jokes alot funnier which is why all the greats did them.
I was disagreeing that Brits were not accustomed to Nigerian accents, and went on to make the point that an inauthentic ACCENT did not make it a bad IMPRESSION.
We can agree that the accent sucks!
I thought the character was Yoruba, but then so were most of my Nigerian friends.
The most faithful and genuine friend I ever had was Yoruba, and he could well have made EVERY comment here!
We were very different, but he was a GREAT friend...
What are you talking about? I have more respect for Nigerians and Africans in general than I do for Carribeans, I respect the fact that they (generally) value family and education
I think this comedian is the funniest one I have ever seen. I laughed until I was sick.
