About the Programme
Sound British in 7 Days is the most complete British pronunciation transformation programme ever built specifically for Nigerian speakers of English. It is a structured, cohort-based curriculum delivered through a private Telegram Academy — combining video-based instruction, printed reference material, live practice, and personalised feedback from the Founder within 48 to 72 hours of every submission.
The programme is built on a single premise: fluent English is not the same as sounding British. A Nigerian professional can speak the English language perfectly — grammatically flawless, vocabulary-rich, culturally aware — and still be caught out by rhythm, vowels, endings, and stress patterns that instantly signal a non-British origin. This programme addresses that gap systematically. It teaches thirty-one specific “tricks” — the concrete, teachable patterns of Received Pronunciation (RP) — that transform how a Nigerian speaker sounds without ever asking them to erase their identity.
The name refers to the fastest suggested pace: complete one trick per day, and by day seven, learners have already mastered the foundational rhythm and word-ending patterns that account for the largest share of accent transformation. Full completion at the accelerated pace takes approximately 31 days; at a more measured weekend-only pace, learners typically finish in 8 to 10 weeks. All 32 lessons are permanently accessible.
The programme is offered to individual learners, corporate professionals, media practitioners, educators, and — through Diction Masters’ school partnership programme — to entire year groups within Nigerian secondary schools.
You speak English fluently. So why does your accent give you away?
Every Nigerian speaker carries a few small tells. They’re tiny — but they’re the difference between sounding like a Nigerian who speaks English, and sounding like a Nigerian who speaks British English.

What Makes This Different
The Nigerian market has numerous accent-training offerings — free YouTube videos, viral TikTok accounts, occasional workshops, and various online courses. Sound British in 7 Days is different on six specific dimensions:
1. Built specifically for Nigerian phonology
2. Systematic, not scattered
Free content is abundant but chaotic. A learner might watch fifty TikTok clips over six months and still not have covered the schwa, the linking R, or word-stress shifts in any coherent order. Sound British in 7 Days is a curriculum: 31 tricks in a deliberate sequence, each building on the previous.
3. Personal feedback loops
The single largest failing of self-directed accent training is the absence of feedback. Learners record themselves, listen back, and cannot hear their own mistakes — because their ear is calibrated to the same errors their mouth is making. Sound British in 7 Days closes this loop with structured personal feedback from Jonathan Onah on every recording, delivered within 48 to 72 hours.
4. Practice passages, not word lists
Drill word lists build recognition. But learners do not speak in word lists — they speak in sentences. Sound British in 7 Days features 30 connected-prose practice passages, each engineered to pack a specific trick into flowing, natural English.
5. Cohort community
6. Nigerian, proudly
The programme is built by a Nigerian, in Nigeria, for Nigerians. There is no shame in the room. Learners are simply taught to add a second, deployable register.
Who This Programme Is For
Sound British in 7 Days serves several distinct groups of Nigerian speakers, each with their own reasons for enrolment. The curriculum is the same for everyone — but its impact varies by context.
The Ambitious Professional
The Media Practitioner
Radio presenters, podcast hosts, voice-over artists, video creators, YouTubers, TikTok creators, and news broadcasters. These learners already have strong voice presence — but a pronounced Nigerian accent narrows their addressable audience. Sound British in 7 Days gives them a second register: they can still speak naturally with Nigerian audiences, but when the brief calls for it, they can deliver copy in polished RP without hesitation.
The Educator
English teachers at Nigerian nursery, primary, and secondary schools who want to model correct pronunciation for their students. This programme provides them with the foundational rhythm and pattern-recognition tools that they were rarely taught in teacher training. For deeper phoneme-level mastery, educators are encouraged to consider The 44 Academy.
The Prospective Emigrant
Nigerians preparing to relocate to the United Kingdom, other Commonwealth countries, or to institutions where British English is the professional standard. This includes students preparing for postgraduate study abroad, professionals accepting international placements, and families relocating for long-term settlement. The programme prepares them for a smoother social and workplace integration.
The Confident Communicator
Nigerians who already consider themselves fluent English speakers and simply want the additional polish. Politicians, public speakers, executive coaches, and thought leaders. For these learners, the programme is a refinement of an already-strong foundation.
The Secondary-School Learner
Through Diction Masters’ partnership with Nigerian secondary schools, students from JSS 1 to SSS 3 can access Sound British in 7 Days as part of a supervised programme within their school. The curriculum is delivered by a designated school coordinator working alongside Diction Masters, with age-appropriate pacing and group-based feedback sessions.
The Secondary-School Learner
- Age 15 and above (for individual enrolment; younger learners join via school partnerships)
- Basic reading fluency in English — able to read a short paragraph aloud without hesitation
- Access to a smartphone with Telegram installed
- Ability to record and send voice notes
- Willingness to commit approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour per trick
- An open mind — this is voice work, not accent-shaming; comfort in your Nigerian identity is presumed

Questions before you join
Is this course really designed for Nigerian speakers specifically?
Yes — every example, every drill word, every “common mistake” slide is built around the exact patterns Nigerian speakers produce. You won’t waste time on issues that don’t apply to you. The course assumes you already speak English fluently and focuses purely on the accent layer.
Do I need 31 tricks?
Each “trick” addresses a specific pattern most Nigerian speakers get wrong. Some are rhythm-based (the schwa, the tonic syllable), some are vowel-specific (/ɔː/, /ʌ/, /eɪ/, /ɑː/, /ɪ/ vs /iː/, /ʊ/ vs /uː/, /eə/), some are consonant-specific (TH, /ʃ/ and /ʒ/), and some are word-pattern based (the linking R, the CO- prefix, the -ize endings). Together they cover essentially every “tell” — that’s why the result feels complete rather than partial.
Can I really transform my accent in 7 days?
You can learn all 30 tricks in 7 days. Mastering them — making them automatic — takes longer for some learners and faster for others. The before-and-after recording exercise shows you the difference within the first week. Continued practice deepens it.
Will I lose my Nigerian identity?
No. This is about adding a skill, not erasing who you are. Many users keep their Nigerian accent in casual settings and switch to British pronunciation for professional contexts. You decide when and where to use it.
What format is the course delivered in?
A 422-slide visual masterclass that you can flip through at your own pace, with structured lessons grouping the slides into focused 15–25 minute sessions. You’ll receive instant access after payment.
Do I need any prior training in phonetics?
None. The course uses IPA symbols (like /ə/ and /ɔː/) but every one is introduced with a hero slide and an anatomy breakdown. By Lesson 3 you’ll be reading them as comfortably as alphabet letters.
What if I'm a teacher? Can I use this with my students?
Absolutely. Many of the early buyers are educators. The slide deck doubles as a teaching resource — each lesson is structured exactly how a teacher would deliver it. For school licensing, contact The 44 Academy directly.
What's your refund policy?
If you complete the first three lessons and genuinely do not see improvement in your accent, we’ll refund your payment within 14 days. We just ask that you’ve actually done the work — recorded yourself, drilled the words, and applied the techniques.
