My husband is Nigerian, Igbo, I love how everything is super descriptive. My father in law cracks me up. He can never answer something with a yes or no, he paints a picture with words for even the most basic questions.

I had a great conversation with a Nigerian Uber driver last week. His friendly, enthusiastic accent made him such a joy to talk to

“You have to be willing to be an idiot to learn a new language.”

Having learned a couple of languages, I can attest to the complete truth of that assertion.

As a Nigerian American I love him more for saying this because it's so true. The accent makes everything fun and makes the harsh harsher lol. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬👍🏾

Nigerian accent is like music to my ears. Shout out to all Nigerians out there 😊

[UnboxingAlyss]

Asa Nigerian American, and being surrounded by Nigerians my whole life, this makes me happy!

[helgaioannidis]

I agree. I learned Italian and Greek by myself exactly through talking and not being afraid of appearing like an idiot. And rhythm is key. I've met people who speak grammatically 100% right, but because of wrong intonation nobody understands them and I've met people who butcher the grammar horribly but communicate easily.
Never lose your accent Trevor ❤️

Trevor is an accent genius. Listening to this and laughing in my Nigerian accent

[dmitong]

I guess Trevor is yet to find out about these hilarious combinations from Nigerians🤣🤣🤣
1. British: Knicker
American: Short
Nigerian: Short knicker
2. British: Salon
American: Barbershop
Nigerian: Barbing salon
3. British: So
American: Therefore
Nigerian: So therefore
4. British: Still
American: Yet
Nigerian: Still yet
5. British: Reverse
American: Turn back
Nigerian: Reverse and turn back
6. British: Tell me the reason
American: Tell me why
Nigerian: Tell me the reason why
7. British: Ten pounds each
American: Ten dollars each
Nigerian: Ten ten naira each

There are many other similar combinations in regular Nigerian English🤣🤣🤣

Nigerian has a kind of musical rhythm to it. It's delightful! Hard not to smile when I hear it. As an American from the Pacific NW, a place known as having the "no accent" accent, better known as "American Newscaster, " I love hearing someone who does have one. My husband is from Oklahoma, so he's got a U.S. South Western kind of drawl. It's adorable! Our son sounds like a combo of both his parents!

[lsingstock]

No one makes me laugh more than Trevor Noah. His talent goes beyond multi layered. Nigerian, Australian, German or whatever, I adore him.

[johnadepelumi]

I laughed really hard. I'm a Nigerian and this is the first time I'm seeing someone do the Nigerian accent really well. More like an Igbo man 😂

[ejirocontent]

As a Nigerian, this made me laugh 😂 😂 🇳🇬

[sevenirises]

I love that Trevor always manages to exude an enthusiastic joy towards life.

I am norwegian. Norwegians accent of speaking english is not known to be specifically impressive though most of us at least speak it. I must say that personally i speak english fairly well because i happen to love the language and i love to dive into the different accents of it.
Many years ago, when i was working as a taxidriver in Oslo, a frenchman climbed into my cab and wanted to go to the airport. Fair enough. I spoke to him in my "flat, regular english, but he seemed to have difficulties understanding me. Then a wild thought hit me and i just went for it. I switched to a form of english with a frenchlike accent. And then he understood me perfectly.

Nigerian & Caribbean accents are music to my ears! Such a great sound!

[amyoung]

Never heard language explained that way. Simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing your unique perspective 🥰

[wooster]

I want my GPS to have Trevor’s doing Nigerian accent.

[macknonlubega]

Am Ugandan but love speaking in Nigerian accent, some Nigerians even mistake me for a true Nigerian hahah

[toluogunye]

I low-key knew that Trevor loves the Nigerian accent🤣. He always cracks up anytime he speaks to Nigerians in their element. Your Nigerian accent still needs work though, but I'm rooting for you Trevor💯🙌
