Namaster: As small and tiny as poland is, they teach their kids in their native language. It doesnt matter the size, culture is essential for development and identity. I was shocked to see Estonia, a very small country, smaller than many Nigerian minority ethnic group addressing the world in their native language. Language is power and na why the whites use am very well on u blacks. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

This one is another Chinedu in the making.. he left his father side (Yoruba) to open school to teach language of his mother side (Igbo) in a Yoruba State (Lagos).. Watch all inter-tribal marriages between Yorubas and Igbos.. if the husband is Yoruba, the wife (Igbo) will make it a duty to teach the kids Igbo language and give them Igbo names in addition to their Yoruba names, then the docile Yoruba men will be there lost and helpless. But let it be Igbo man that married Yoruba woman.. the Igbo man will make sure the kids bear only Igbo names and identify as Igbo. Same thing with Hausas. I don't know why Yorubas are like that.. too dull, docile infact all the words to qualify weak can be ascribed to our men. Shioor! 25 Likes 7 Shares |

casualobserver: You ppl never get this. The language of the mother who is always around them is what Children would easily pick up . It is the duty of the father to also make sure he speaks his own whenever he's around.They may not reply you but with time they'd.Babies can pick up to 5 languages before 8 yrs. My neighbor speaks Efik to her kids while her Igbo husband is busy warning her not to but would never speak Igbo to them.How do you expect the women who doesn't know your language to speak it to them. 14 Likes 4 Shares |

Kudos! What I can tell you for sure is that eventually we Africans will reclaim our native languages and Gods and get rid of everything our ancestors didn't create. Unfortunately, the "literary giants" who are just as enslaved as the head pastor of the church don't know any better. Ngozi Adichie, who's supposed to be a global ambassador for Igbo language was here few days ago to do the opposite. 6 Likes 1 Share |

hammer567:oga this is not about tribalism but sense of belonging This guy is making d same mistake of chinedu, he has an igbo mother n a Yoruba father but now he doesn’t identify with the Yoruba people He’s here showing it to the world that he prefers his mothers side, so tomorrow now he will want to contest n he will want yorubas to support him? Who does that? I know that in no time he will b given a chieftancy title in igbo land, I can bet that for sure but tomorrow when the time comes he will want to claim Yoruba Before u shout tribalism, look at Desmond Elliot n Adeleke of osun, they both have mixed parents n they flow well with each side My point is once u relate with one n ignore d other one, when d time comes don’t expect anything from d side u ignore 19 Likes 6 Shares |

Slytiger:I don't think he has an Igbo mother.He also doesn't have an Igbo name. Yorubas are mostly soft and always show love to Igbos either male or female but their Igbo brethren are something else. This has caused enmity especially recently. Sam Aluko Wọlé Soyinka Obasanjo Banjo Fajuyi Pa Adebanjo etc are some of the Yoruba that have shown softness to Igbo people. Yoruba always look at the Igbos as their brother,junior brother. 13 Likes 5 Shares |

paxx: I guess you won't mind Peter Obi's kids opening school for kids in Anambra to learn Ibibio abi na Efik he (Obi) go marry.. Go through the thread and you'll find where a NLer pointed it out that the guy mentioned in his documentary that his Igbo mom was always frowning whenever they try to speak Yoruba.. I can confirm this bad habit among Igbo women married to our men because I have witnessed several scenarios like that.. Like why will you go and marry from a tribe you can't stand their language and culture? 19 Likes 6 Shares |

flokii: In that same video he said his father would be mad whenever the mom speaks igbo. Seems like they were not able to embrace BOTH cultures - which would have been an EASY fix. Why would you marry a woman and not want her to speak her language to her children? both of them should have compromised. 17 Likes 3 Shares |
