Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that an emerging video of a young lady speaking fluently in a foreign accent has gained huge traction on social media. The yet-to-be-identified Nigerian girl was captured in the trending clip in a phone conversation with a man who many assume to be a white man.

The courage and manner in which she engaged the foreigner in the clip stunned many. Social media users who were obviously blown away said her accent was so clean. Others wondered where she got the intonation from for one who appears to have not left the shores of the country.

It was yet to be established the purpose of the phone conversation. The clip has been watched over 78k times as of the time of making this report.
