Love or loathe Cool FM OAP Freeze, he always has interesting takes on social issues.
Fresh from his box of opinions, the expressive media personality has subtly ‘shaded’ his colleagues, criticizing some for their ‘fake’ accents.
With a foreign media outlet reporting that ‘foreign accent syndrome has no cure’, Freeze opines that the act is prevalent amongst Nigerian OAPs who don’t stay true to themselves.
‘Oyinbo people sha….. How could they say that ‘Foreign accent syndrome’ is rare and bizarre? It happens everyday here to Nigerian babes and radio presenters! Once they get a visa to Dubai or Malaysia they automatically fall ill with this sickness. We Radio personalities have been known to contract this incurable illness, as soon as a microphone is switched on,’ he shared.
‘Symptoms include mild to severe attitude change, hallucinations, slurring or exaggerating the letter ‘R’ and overnight BRITISH or American accent, or in rare cases a combination of both British and American accents.’
The OAP who is of mixed nationality further joked that the act oftentimes result in psychological problems for offenders and even suggested a cure.
‘It can’t be cured but symptoms can somewhat be managed, though prognosis is not good, and 90% of the time, identity can become blurred and personality disoriented, leading to various degrees of psychological problems. I have some pills that sort of worked for me, so if you can recommend someone with this illness maybe I can give them some of mine,’ he wrote.
Hmmn, would be interesting to know which OAPs are guilty of this…
