uglodoh: At least they already showed us that they are sensible enough by giving their children Nigerian names. Not like the mugus of P-squared with the yeye names they gave their kids and were feeling funky. 2 Likes |

darfay:. Well,you aren't far from the truth..... That has been like a bone in our throats.... the truth is that those of us who were born and bred in Ughelli can't really speak urhobo fluently apart from few families that made it a compulsory thing...... I've alot of friends who can't understand it even tho they are from here too...But that doesn't mean you should write it off so quickly..We have neighboring communities around that constitute ughelli as a town.. Communities such as Afiesere, otovwodo, Ekiugbo and the rest..Those are the communities that speak and understand urhobo well...... Ughelli is just like a town that comprises of different tribes,tho it's an urhobo town... |

CartelKenneth: If black people had sufficient brain power, only the smallest languages should die out. That is, those spoken in some small local governments with very few speakers and have dominant neighbouring languages (e.g. Ibaas, Bole, Yangkam, Geruma etc.) But languages like Jukun, Ejagham, Gwari, Ebirra, Urhobo, Berom etc. can only die because the people are black iiidiots! 1 Like |

CartelKenneth: It is your parent's (I would not even say ancestors, because I am sure your parents were passed the language) fault that you lost your language. Not colonisation. Colonisation allowed you to learn a new international language. It is not to blame for losing your own. Blame your parents for that. The probably have inferiority complex and thought it was smart to make your eliminate part of your identity and be more "white" by speaking English only and like a white man. A correct parent would have made sure you learn your mother tongue, English and even the main language of where you grew up/are living. Speaking English only is a pathetic manifestation and bad parenting! 3 Likes 1 Share |

uglodoh: If you can speak the main language of that city, then that is fine. If you are a child of a Urhobo father and Igbo mother, but was raised in Kaduna, if you speak Hausa and English, that is honestly fine. If you speak only English, na failed parenting. 2 Likes |

alfredilly: Many are superstars. They will speak Yoruba so fluently like a local, you will not have an idea they are not Yoruba until they break into Igbo or you hear their names. Many speak Igbo, Yoruba and English dead fluently. That is great parenting. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I can speak two fluently. If I add Yoruba it will make it three but my Yoruba isn't that good......So I speak two and half languages. |
