Ur own issue start with economic benefits and ends with economic benefits...nothing have space in ur thinking space again...Chile boy

Is this meant to be a mockery or what? And why should anyone waste their time to learn anything that has zero economic value or benefit. I am Igbo and I don't speak Igbo. Can't be bothered to learn cause it's useless to me.

Funny I'm from a minority tribe in Edo state but grew up in the north. Speak Hausa to a certain level to save myself from being sold for slavery. My parents never pressured me into learning in my younger days but I still won't be arsed now to learn my native language, quite frankly I'm looking to learn other major languages in the western world than any others from Nigeria.

I used to think I was bad at languages but I did learn Spanish and currently using it. I can't learn any African language when it wont improve my life in anyway.

If the first language your child leanrs in not Igbo, you have possibly damaged the child forever. Imagine giving birth to an Igbo child that thinks in English.

The entire monologue in their head is carried out in English language. His ability to think like an Igbo is permanently removed.

You have mentally damaged that child forever. The Igboness that God gave that child for free, you have taken it away from them.


Nah why your children go dey write IELTS 6 times to get 7.5 for plab grin

That is because u never make or consider ur country ur home even before u started up as a man??

Home is what u built for ursef and not what u re expecting others to build for you.
