Paul okoyes children = andre chukwunonso okoye, Nathan obinna okoye and Nadia adaobi okoye

Nonsense!

Peter okoyes children = Cameron and Aliona

Paul okoyes children = Andre, Nathan and Nadia

Those names have nothing to do with their heritage or even religion. They were given it because their parents thought they were cool, funky and superior names.

Complete colomentality names.

No one calls them, and it is not intended for people to call them, by their ceremonious middle Igbo names.

Have you ever seen a Nigerian give their children Ghanaian, Kenyan or Ugandan names?

But black fools feel like Gs giving their children oyinbo names.

Colomentality nonsense!

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!

Dude, stop wasting your breath man
dude, stop wasting your breath man there’s no difference between English language and Nigerian indigenous language do only difference between the two languages is that indigenous languages are going to die out in less than 50 years and English is basically the international language of the world so

I’d rather be on the winning side

by the way, nothing like bad parenting because it’s because of colonization that we all speak this language 80% of Nigeria youth speak English only it’s our official language and there’s nothing you can do about it.


Indigenous languages will die off and that cannot be stopped.

You are perpetually on the losing side with your colomentality.

Go and see the success of your Nigerian rappers who wanted to be Americana wannabes (like Sauce Kid) compared to the artistes who decided to sell being authentic Nigerians (like Olamide sef, before we even talk about the Big 3) and you will realise you are on the losing side.

You are just a begging and poor imitation of a white person. And you have rejected what you are because you feel it is worthless!

Bullshit!

It is because of inferiority complex and poor mentality that your parents decided not to teach you a Nigerian language and made you speak it at home.

They probably spoke an indigenous language to each other, but when they turn to you kids start speaking English to you. Colonialism had nothing to do with it. It was because they felt they don't want you to be like them and their family people. They felt if you come across as more white, then you will come across as superior.

You end up becoming a second (or even fourth) rate white person and a second rate black person.

A top quality black person that is well-raised will speak his mother tongue/the local language of where he was raised plus an international language fluently.

So a Yoruba child brought up in Germany that speaks only German and English is actually better raised than you because at least he would find it too hard to learn Yoruba, unlike you raised in Nigeria and speaking only Enlgish. It is just poor parenting.

An Igbo child raised in Lagos and who speaks Igbo, Yoruba and English fluently has been very well raised.

If he spoke only Igbo/Yoruba and English, he is still far better raised than you.

But preferably,I understand and read French and Spanish, and focus more on them, because of their great value internationally.
