“It is slavery mentality to flog children for speaking their mother tongue” – Yul Edochie addresses Africans
Yul Edochie has kicked against flogging African children for speaking their mother tongue.
Taking to his Instagram page, he admonished parents to teach their children English as it is important for communication. However, they shouldn’t flog them for speaking their mother tongue as it’s unacceptable.
He considered such an action slavery mentality as he noted how it is something foreigners have stuffed out grains with. Yul questioned if a Chinese man or woman would never flog their child for speaking Chinese. The actor further added that we shouldn’t make our fellow Africans feel inferior for being African, as if we’re proud of who we are and where we come from, we would never know where we’re headed.
“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”.
