There Is Nothing Wrong With Speaking Your Native Language In School – Yul Edochie

Popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has jumped on social media to react to kids not being allowed to speak their native language in schools.

Yul simply revealed that any teacher who flogs pupils for speaking their native language should be ashamed of himself or herself.

According to him, the whites have definitely messed up our brains for Africans to think like that.

He added that the fact that we refer to our own language as vernacular is nothing short of sad.

His words, “To think that some of our teachers flogged us back then in school for speaking our language.

Calling it vernacular. Can you imagine? You speak your own language you get flogged. All those teachers should be ashamed of themselves. Oyibo people really messed up our brains.”
