nigeria ko ni baje ooo

[ericitaphoto]

Wow that guy is an asshole. There are good and bad people everywhere. It doesn't make you a better person, to say Nigeria is packed with criminals and scammers, That's your ignorance speaking. Just saying. About speaking, Nigeria has lots of languages, English is just 1 official language, If she spoke in Yoruba, she would still speak well, If a french person spoke comprehensible English, would it make them any less French? You're no better than any ol' "crook or scammer" -Ignorance is a disease

Awesome!!! Asa is an amazing artist! i wish her great success !!!

@dopemcee wow, you did not need to go there! You are quite ignorant though and I'm just really sad for you.

[dopemcee]

@kanadah09 if you're mad..well you can fuck off..

i mean she doesnt speak with a thick nigerian accent...i've heard nigerians from nigeria speak YOU WOULD KNOW.

me saying she speaks well has zero to do with grammar and everything to do with the dialect/accent that she speaks with..

so kindly fkk off...and fkk nigeria too..a nation packed with criminal and scammers...once in a while a few good ones..but mostly crooks..

[kanadah09]

@dopemcee this comment is very offensive and ignorant. so, a nigerian has to have live abroad to speak well. it's very clear that

you don't know what a british accent sounds like

you don't know what a nigerian accent sounds like

and you dont know what an american accent sounds like

i was born and raised in nigeria, i now live abroad and i can tell you this is a very nigerian accent. many nigerians do speak well and not all american or british people do

[adeamujale]
