Yes, Mody is Nigerian, I missed the bit where she says it clearly in this video. She doesn't always mention her country in her videos, just that she is an African, not somebody with African ethnic roots who has lived all or most of her life elsewhere and possibly from a family whose ancestors left Africa many generations ago.
In a later part of the video she talks how when the British Empire was fighting to end slavery, many African nations, or at least their kings, were fighting to oppose that, to keep slavery, especially to keep the practice of being able to sell other Africans to buyers from other parts of the world, especially to the trans-Atlantic trade, because they were getting huge profits from it.
Actually, her accent is not the problem. I've had occasion to become familiar with African accents and hers is quite pleasant. The problem was the microphone, which emphasized certain vocal features over others. Consonants or inflections would be louder than vowels. I was having difficulty, but I realized that there was nothing about her accent that would have posed a problem in real life.
