Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has called on Africans stop flogging children for speaking their mother tongue.
He stated this on his Instagram page.
According to him, parents shouldn’t flog them for speaking their mother tongue as it’s 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 out brains with.
Will a Chinese man or woman ever flog a Chinese child for speaking Chinese?
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”.
