In this video, veteran Nollywood actor Yomi Fash amplifies the heartfelt cry of a Nigerian woman in Canada who is deeply troubled about a shocking reality – Nigerian children in Canada are now learning their native languages from Indians instead of their own parents and community.
This lament touches on the urgent need for cultural preservation, parental responsibility, and the importance of teaching our children their roots, values, and native tongue no matter where they live in the world.
Is it right that outsiders are taking up the role of teaching Nigerian kids Yoruba, Igbo, or Hausa in the diaspora?
What does this say about the state of cultural identity and heritage preservation among Nigerians abroad?
How can parents in the diaspora do better to pass down language and culture to the next generation?
