CNN's Interview with Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Nigerian Senate President

[chaizor1]

He did well in the interview. Im impressed. Soyinka does well, Okonjo-iweala, Sanusi and Ribadu too. IBB,Cecilia and OBJ disgraced Nigerians.

[BeastOfNoNationality]

Ok the guts accent is quit thick because he lives in Nigeria but i am a Nigerian and I have a british accent because i grew up in the UK from childhood. Would you say I am copying the british as well? Your accent doesnt matter. I dont understand why an accent is special anyway,

[RealAFRO]

What he will take home? Are you crazy, they are there to off load their loot and go back for more loot! Nothing else to take home if not to order state of the art bomb proof and missile proof vehicles and streamline jets.

Shameless people, Obama is representing the face of chance for this!! So what is he and his gang representing in their position? Face of corruption and looting of public funds? Obama will help old bums like him to institutionalise Democracy, so what are they practising now?

FUCK NIGERIA AND ALL THEIR ENDLESS SCAMS

[scipio2009]

@lancelo96 mad cuz he's stylin' on you.

it's okay though, the next time you give some random email response your SS #, bank account information, and the rest of, all in the name of finally "making it big", off of the inheritance of a relative that you didn't even imagine you had, I would hope that you'd think twice.

[amatyable]

Na wa! But why did obama support all these money the senators are receiving while we are all poor here? We were all happy that our obama will make us change and i thought that with the salaries he cut from their riches wud have touched the mind of our rich men to help us but no why? Nigeria has no good advicer.

[generationer1]

His accent is hard to understand but i am sure he is taking about important issue's.

[kelikel2]

His accent is irrelevant...the interviewer had no problem understanding him and he made his points clearly...grammatically correct. It's not the accent but the substance that is important!

[kaydnice]

he is richer than all d haters combined

[OUSCA2003]

so what, he gat accent, italians, mexicans, french, russians, austrians, kenyans, south africans all 'a dem gat heavy accents... besides, english is a second language to us as well... don' ever forget esse!!!

[donbyro1]

Fuck Nigerian politicians. America would help us , help us , help us, fuc help us, fuck help us. Fuck that and fucking help urselves u fucking faggots. I hate african bitches like nigeria. I like zimbabwe better. Fuck Nigerian politicians, America would help us ......, FUCKING DO UR FUCKING JOBS BLODDY ASSHOLES. AMERIACA WOULD HELP US ..............................­..........................

[amightyo]

I sort of got your point but you know you could express yourself clearly without the F... word:-)!!! We all must work on ourselves and stop expecting others to come and clean our inner linings. I too didn't fill so cool when he started saying America would help us!!! If Nigeria could raise so much money for his campaign then I wonder what help they still need. We all must work on ourselves to make our nations better. Best wishes:-)

[iphieee]

u r very wretched human being.......

[oluwalogbon58]

hahaha dont give your self a heart attack hating us donbyro!! on the other hand maybe you should...

[orisunye]

DAMUDINO, What if all Nigerians have accents tht thick? U want us to have accents tht's not ours. This the problem with most Africans..Slave mentality...Always want to be too Western

[annointedsundave]

@orisunye thank you o...although western accent is not bad but the fact that many africans hearing their accent feel as if is inferior.

[MrDeverly1]

@orisunye the fact that he keeps his nigerian accent doesn't mean he or any other african for that matter wants the rest of the world to have to same accent...that logic is flawed...plus, not all nigerians have accents as thick as this...it's a fact so stop reading to deep between the words and stop assuming what isn't so.

[xtrimbee]

where did they find this man ..........did he go to school at all..such an idiot

[iphieee]

u probably did not finish school urself.

[nkviv]

u gotta be kidding me. did u even listen to what he said. if you don't understand what he said because of his accent, then you should say so not calling him an idiot. Americans have an accent, Nigerians have an accent, and so does everyone else in respect to where they're from. SO get your facts straight.

[zweeterion]

He is not Nigerian Senate President.He is a senator from Nigeria.The Senate President is Mr. David Mark.

[damudino05]

just letting everybody know, not all nigerians have accents that that thick. but hey it is what it is

[ZionG4eva]

Damn !! dat accent is thick tho ... but itz naija !!

[sguardian870]

thank God he didnt embarass nigeria unlike our former president obasanjo who would leave u holding ur breath cos u know he is about to do something embarasing lol

[bigbofy]

why does he look so serious...no smiles...and sounds flat

[cpuhummer321654]

Great interview.

[obosi]

Not bad at all. "Quite static". But responses where fine. Like politicians any where in the world you'd say.
