My dear, 'preserving culture'? Don't tell me you are an advocate of that poop.
Now lemme ask you? Would you let your dad's younger bro remarry your mom if your dad dies? Please be sincere.
You see when it comes to preserving culture, just pick what's good for you and leave the poo to be preserved by whoever cares.! Kpish!
God bless me.
I sha don derail at last. sad

lmao! I Love that statement you made“Just pick what is good for you”. I'm not extremist in anything. I'm neither too conservative nor too contemporary. I just try to be logical in making choices and decisions. Even if I won't preserve any other thing about my culture, I will preserve the Language. When you want to take away a man's identity or a race's identity, first take away their Language

"When you want

identity, first take away their Language"

Is that a quote from the Holy scripture??
If it's not, may be irrelevant tho.... Lol.

Speaks English to them till 3 years, by then they are good in English and they can communicate well in school. then i leave the work of English teaching to School and concentrate in teaching them Igbo. That way they don't mix things up, though will be slow in learning it. they will understand but afraid to speak but I encourage them. worked well with my first son and his siblings are coming up well.
