John Kiriamiti, a Kenyan author’s whose book is been adapted for a film where Jim Iyke would be playing the lead role has advised the actor to ‘stop talking like an American’ and ‘learn how to talk like me to be able to play the role well.”
Adding further, John said, ‘Whoever has read the book has told me they read it thrice or four times and as you know in the book I wasn’t acting I was doing it for real. I hope that translates also in the movie.’

That's one thing Nollywood actors should learn and get trained in, being able to speak like almost any accent to fit the role. Denzel Washingotn spoke like a South African in "Biko", and John Cheadle spoke like a Brit in Ocean's Eleven, and like a African in "Hotel Rwanda." Nollywood guys should be more professional.
