CNN Ranked Nigerian Accent At 5th Sexiest Accent In The World

List of 12 hottest accents all over the world was made by CNN, and to my surprise, Nigerian accent was listed at Number 5. Wow.
Italy was at Number 1, followed by French and Spanish at number 2 and 3 respectively, and Irish at number 6.
And to those Nigerians forming American or British accent, Cnn just said nigerian accent is sexier than british and amercan o. British at number 7, us at number 8 
Thank God for the likes of KSA, 2face, Fela, Femi Kuti and others who sticked to Nigerian accent at the world stage. And you wonder why most of our footballers just suddenly change from nigerian accent to one 'fake' british accent, and some nollywood stars too, don't want to mention names now. This was how CNN described Nigerian accent.
Famous tongues: King Sunny Adé, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde
Dignified, with just a hint of willful naiveté, the deep, rich “oh’s” and “eh’s” of Naija bend the English language without breaking it, arousing tremors in places other languages can’t reach. Kinda makes the occasional phone scam worth the swindle.
Sounds like: The THX intro with teeth
Some Nigerians are actually worth giving your bank account information to.
