"They Failed Woefully": Nigerian Lady Asks Oyinbos to Pronounce Ekenedilichukwu in Viral Video
- Some oyinbo people were recently put to the test regarding their ability to pronounce Nigerian names properly
- A black content creator took to the streets to interview various foreigners and give them Nigerian names to pronounce
- The words included traditional names of people as well as names of some popular states in Nigeria
Almost everyone cannot correctly pronounce words peculiar to a culture that is not theirs, and it takes practice to learn the correct pronunciation and intonation.
As expected, watching foreigners pronounce words that they are not familiar with is always an entertaining venture.

Lady with gap teeth pronounces Bluetooth
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a funny video of a young Nigerian woman pronouncing Bluetooth, as suggested by someone on her social media page, has gone viral with lots of comments and likes.
The lady made several attempts at the word, which sounded strange to the ears because she had extensive gap teeth. Her pronunciation sounded like the passage of air between the gaps in the mouth or the purring of a cat.
After several attempts and rejecting the initial results, she settled for the one she thought was the best she could offer and just went with it as her final answer.
