@AsherHansel:”Igbo girls actually think it’s a flex not to know how to speak Igbo. The ones in Lagos perceive speaking their native tongue as being progressive. Stupidity. Some even go as far as calling the way a fellow Igbo man speaks English is “igbotic”. Igbo men actually need to do better.”

@itsohbyblee:”I have a strong opinion about Igbo people who were born and brought up in Nigeria, and can’t speak Igbo. I led 17 years of my life where I heard more French spoken than English but I speak Igbo. SHAME!!!”
