This study investigated foreign accent acquisition by second language users in Nigeria. Data for this study were four internet videos that were purposively selected for this study. These videos showcased a rap musician, a stand-up comedian, a Nigerian Nollywood actor and a Premier League football fan all of whom spoke the British English or American English accents in their various endeavours. Their speaking styles were transcribed and the phonological properties of intonation, vowel articulation and rhythm were subjected to both perceptual and acoustic analyses. The acoustic analysis was done using the sound analyser PRAAT. A synthesis of Flege’s Speech Learning Model and Escudero & Boersma’s Second Language Perception Model formed the framework on which this study was hinged. The study found out that due to the influence of the first language, some L2 users in Nigeria failed to perceive L2 sounds accurately, hence, they engaged in sound reduction, substitution and lengthening. Also, there were differences in segmental perception between native and non-native sounds which sometimes led to poor accented utterances. Furthermore, all the participants in this study lacked the ability (as adults) to store and structure L2 sound information in long-term memory due to decrease in human brain plasticity. Finally, mimicking foreign accent comes naturally to some L2 users though such users may not fully come to terms with the articulation of a few phonological and lexical items that cannot be maintained in long term conversational interactions. These findings informed the conclusion that it is possible to acquire foreign (English) accent in an L2 environment even without leaving the shores of such an environment.
