I really don't know why the craze for diction is becoming an epidemic in Nigeria.
Even the people that live in UK speak english and pronounce words differently.
In fact, there are almost 40 different dialects in the UK that sound totally different from each other, and in many cases use different spellings and word structure. In fact, there's pretty much one accent per county. Each county pronounce english words DIFFERENTLY.
The Americans don't even speak proper english, the southern US States and the Black Americans speak English different from the whites. The Texas white American speaks and pronounce differently from other whites. The black American in New Orleans sounds different from the black Americans in New Jersey.
The Canadian speak english differently, so does the Australian, and everybody else.
Nobody in any of these countries is trying to force children and adults to sound 'British' or pronounce perfectly like someone else.
Why Nigerian's are dying to speak English with a fake accent and pronounce words like others is alarming.
There are tons of diction and elocution coaches on IG and TikTok these days just teaching what is not required in life, and make fun of people when they compare the Nigerian pronunciation vs the country they are promoting.

For schools, it is all for the standard and business.


No parents will patronize a school that don't encourage their children speak British English.
