2. Americans and their attempt at the ‘African accent’ in Hollywood movies etc.
Zikoko writers have discussed this topic extensively. We wrote about Will Smith’s accent in the movie Concussion (based on Nigerian Dr. Bennet Omalu) and recently wrote a post on K.Michelle’s ‘speaking Nigerian‘.

The people we mentioned in this article can’t have clear skin because they clearly don’t mind their business. We especially have beef with numbers 2, 5 and 8.
