During an interview section with Pulse.NG, Motolani Alake revealed some amazing facts about him, including how he spoke English the Nigerian way. While Motolani couldn't figure out whether it was intentional or natural, he commended how he managed to speak English with the Nigerian accent and how he also flows very well with the Nigerian pidgin.
