African Parents abroad esp in U.S that dont teach their kids their native tongue

African parents esp. In U.S that dont teach their kids their native tongue. And we all know the children of today is the adults of tomorrow. If you dont teach your child the native tongue, Our languages will start to go extinct.
I 'm in U.S and I see African kids, esp Nigerian kids that cant "speak" it but they understand when they "hear" it. Or they only know how to say a few words like "hello."   Most African parents have adpated to speaking english to their kids since theyre surrounded my english speaking ppl.

I came to U.S when I was two and I can still speak my native language better than my older brothers.
