12 words Nigerians Usually pronounce wrongly or pronounce like Americans instead of British people

So, because I love you guys, I have decided to help the people who have asked me to teach them on how to speak well. well, there is absolutely no magic to it.



 I do know that a lot of people will still ask me to helpp them in the future, I decided to prepare this on daily basis for people who care to have a polished accent...whether British or American accent. so, i mentioned a couple of words we as Nigerians usually pronounce as Americans. i am really emphatic about this because, anywhere you go, people tell you that 'we are nigerians and should speak british because they colonised us'. 

 Well, I don't have a problem with anyone speaking any of the languages though. I am very concerned about speaking correctly and enunciating words in ways even native speakers of the languages can understand. 

 In this video you will learn correct pronunciations of words like tomato, privacy, pomade, advertisement, penchant, can't, and many more just check it out and follow me for new words

Is it correct to say I waybilled it to you? A few expressions you probably don't understand

Good morning KIB students. Thank you for showing immense love to your teacher. Many of you understand how draining it could be for someone to consistently post here on Facebook. I appreciate those who ensure that my bank account doesn't  get flooded with cockroaches😃. Anyway, let's get down to brass tacks. What is a waybill? a waybill is a list that contains  names of people and goods to be conveyed from one location to another. It is that book where you write your name before entering a bus. There is an air waybill, sea waybill etc. Waybill cannot be verbalised. I want to waybill some goods to you❌ If you are looking for a verb to replace  the erroneous 'waybill', here are two genuinely accepted words to use. 1. Freight (verb) transport (goods) in bulk by truck, train, ship, or aircraft. "the metals had been freighted from the city".
