You have to have your afang soup, she says, but I have to have the pepper soup, and I say, no, you don’t do that, that’s not how we roll in Lagos.
However, due of her accent, many people were unable to comprehend what she was saying.
This is not the first time Mercy Eke has been chastised for always faking her accent, but she has remained unconcerned.
As expected, numerous social media users panned Mercy Eke’s video and asked her to always express herself without faking an accent in order to avoid criticism.
This is so amusing, I can’t even describe how she sounds, wrote nisseyluv19.
