My accent is me. I can’t change my first and the last name to English names. Indians and Americans including my brother’s wife never changed their accent when they lived and worked in Nigeria.

What next, change Naira to dollar, or our brown skin to yellow. Or exchange our children to others’ children?

Yes, I got the same question from JJC in the west!

Sense of self is playing tricks on many Nigerians. We can learn other languages, but keep ours.
