He wrote: “No lie wey dem never talk for my head just to draw pity and sell market. Dem go soon talk say I be 40 seconds man.”
It Is Slavery Mentality To Flog Children For Speaking Their Mother Tongue
Meanwhile, Yul Edochie has condemned the act of disciplining children for speaking their native language.
He argued that it was unacceptable to punish children for speaking their mother tongue.
Speaking via Instagram, he emphasized the importance of teaching English for communication, but insisted that children should not be flogged when they speak their native language.
Edochie attributed this mindset to colonialism’s lingering effects, urging Africans to reclaim their heritage.
He questioned whether other cultures, like the Chinese, would ever discourage their language, highlighting the double standard.
He urged people never to make their fellow Africans feel inferior for being Africans.
