If your daughter speaks igbo, you ve excelled as a father, it's really good cause so man parents fail in that direction…
Most grown kids can't even speak their native language, it's so sad

A nollywood celebrity open declared that she won't teach her kids their native language which is igbo..
At that moment my likeness for her dropped to zero
So many people you think highly of arent worth it

So your view of her changed because she said her opinion?

Really???

Do you realize we are entitled to our opinion. You might not like it but saying your view of her dropped is a total out of line. Kilode! It is her choice of parenting o. Don't force others to accept yours. Gosh
