“It is slavery mentality to flog children for speaking their mother tongue” – Yul Edochie addresses Africans

Yul Edochie says he loves being talked about

Nollywood actor 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”.

Yul Edochie speaks on the importance of mother tongue

In September, as children returned to school, actress Esther Ene sent a message to parents. She listed what parents should teach their children, telling them to sit with their children and explain there’s never a reason to make fun of others. She admonished them to teach their children that there’s nothing wrong with wearing the same shoes or clothes every day, teach them not to exclude anyone for being different, explain to them that bullying hurts and not to spread negativity, and more, as she noted, it all begins at home.

In July, Actress Bimbo Ademoye had some concerns to get off her chest, and it was concerning parenting. She admonished parents to be watchful and present with their kids as she noted how some parents do not know what their kids watch or hear.

Similarly, Big Brother Naija personality Queen Mercy Atang had advised parents, advising them to do better in training their children well so that they do not end up bullying other petioles children. She also warned parent to stop being wicked to the people around them because their children were watching and might act out the same to others below them.

Meanwhile, actress Mary Njoku lambasted those who love to give opinions to parents on how to raise their children. She stated that if one doesn’t have a child or doesn’t have full responsibility for a child, they shouldn’t dish out advice to birth parents on how to raise one, as she noted how parenting is practical and not theory.
