Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has voiced his opposition to punishing African children for speaking their native languages.
However, he made it clear that disciplining children for using their mother tongue is unacceptable.
He wrote, “Yes, teach children English. It’s important for communication. But don’t flog them for speaking their mother tongue. That’s unacceptable. That’s slavery mentality which Oyibo people stuffed our brains with. Will a Chinese man or woman ever flog a Chinese child for speaking Chinese?”
Edochie went on to stress the importance of embracing African identity, adding, “Never make your fellow African feel inferior for being African. If we’re not proud of who we are as Africans & where we come from, we’ll never know where we’re headed.”
