      Cheap natively english-speaking labour, to be precise.

      Nigerians natively speak English? I can barely understand their English.

        English is their official language but i believe there are a lot different languages spoken there, the main one is like a version of english that is very different to actual english. But i haven’t been there so maybe look it up if you want to know exactly. Scots and Irish people can also be hard to understand if they speak ‘their’ english. But Nigeria and Bangladesh were colonised by the British and that makes them better english speakers than many other poor countries with cheap labour.
