While there are so many Igbo children born in common lagos that cant speak Igbo. When you ask them, they say I am Lagosian. Whatever that nonsense means.

I had one in NYSC back then. When I ask him why he can't speak igbo fluently, he said he grew up in Lagos. Then I wonder Lagos and the states where is more distant from igbo culture.

Exactly. Lagos that is just a few kilometers away from the East. The same lagos my own mother used to go to all the time for her business.

The truth is that some Igbo parents failed their kids. They made their kids speak only English at home.

Nigerians have taken to social media to react a video circulating on social media about two lovely igbo kids speaking igbo language fluently.
The video going about has one of the children name as Christy and Dixie from Anambra state. Both were being Interviewed by their dad in a park in USA.

This has shown that where you grow up is not a genuine excuse not to speak and understand your tribal or ethnic languages

Watch video.

Christianity left Israel as a family, came to Rome as a religion, went to England as politics and ended up in Africa as business.

True. Personally I was like that. My mum and dad speak igbo for us growing up. But I personally refused to learn. Until I went to imo state to school. Within 2years, I was already speaking igbo to my parents and they are happy I chose to school in the east . So many igbo Children forming porch with English. But their parents actually played a part in it

I would have chosen to school in the east but I declined. Would have helped me to understand and speak very well
