You can ALWAYS count on black people to be especially DUMB. It doesn't matter how wealthy or famous they get.

Imagine establishing an Igbo Language learning school IN Lagos. A language that kids probably ONLY speak at home where they'd already learn it anyway.

It's an EXTREMELY dumb initiative.

Kids don't need to learn a language that is NOT the official language of any country. A language that's spoken by only about 40/50 million people.

Rather, a talent scouting agency or coding school or even trade school would have been a better project.
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.

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!

I watched the documentary and I didn't feel good when he said that his mum always frown at them whenever they try to speak Yoruba at home but she was cool with them speaking Igbo. His father is Yoruba while his mother is Igbo. But that doesn't mean that she should shield them from learning their father's culture.
When you have your family 👪, you can do as u want ok 👌

This is theirs and they don't know you exist

thats why Gbadebo cannot speak yoruba
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.

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.

Why are you making this tribal. Isn't it called MOTHER TONGUE. Everyone knows kids tend to speak their mother's language and tend to be close to mom since dad tend to work hence the term MOTHER TONGUE.

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

Father Yoruba, mother Igbo. This one is another Gbarebo.

They take a cue from the Osun State governor. Who is also half Igbo but balances his ethnicities well.
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.

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?

I'm proud of that woman, she did the right thing. Discussions in yoruba is mostly about tribalism

The father was upset when the mom would teach Igbo also. Inter tribal marriages should teach kids both languages and cultures. Inter tribal marriages are the key to ONE NIGERIA smiley <3

Guys please dont make this tribal. Everyone knows kids tend to speak their mother's language and tend to be close to mom hence the term MOTHER TONGUE.

My mother is yoruba and my dad is igbo :p . My fiancée is also yoruba, if you truly believe in nigeria, this should make you happy smiley
by the grace of god my kids will speak yoruba and igbo.

That's what I'm trying to say. It's meant to be balanced. But his mother seems possessive. Even his uncles that he met were all from the mother's side.

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.

watched the video.pls do without bias.Both parents scolded each other.They should have spoken both.The mother responded thus cos she was also stopped from speaking hers to them. Now the man's death just gave her upper hand. That's all
