@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa I never even said its cool to represent igbo and not Nigeria Wtf you just keep going from one place to another when I clearly made one point which is identity shouldn’t be tied to economic value If you still want to argue that, that’s on you, goodnight

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa No it doesn’t but it definitely makes you less of an igbo person than one that represents the culture Language is one of the primary carriers of culture, the moment you disregard the language what else are you now regarding yourself to be igbo?

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa No the only way they’ll give more exposure to the igbo people is if they speak/spoke igbo at some point during their exposure E.g A lot of Nigerian footballer that play for other countries are counted as other nationalities and not identified as igbo

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa You’re way off point Igbo is igbo Not speaking igbo isn’t Igbo Disregarding speaking Igbo is worse than not speaking it

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa No English has survived because more people keep speaking it, give it a 100 years of people not speaking Igbo and see if there would be much to remember about the igbo tribe or what they sound like…

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa You can’t disregard the core of what makes an ethnicity an ethnicity and then turn around and try to claim as more igbo as people that embrace it I find it fair for wanting his kids to learn other languages but stupid for attaching an identity to economic value

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa There’s something called central igbo in which every Igbo person that understands Igbo understands Most dialects aren’t far off central igbo, they’re just a bit more difficult to understand sometimes

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa For the people that disregard it as part of their identity, it definitely does while for the people still wanting to speak it but aren’t fluent then you can say that

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa You’re still missing the main point, it’s not igbo vs other languages it is igbo and other languages… That’s the point, you don’t scrape out your identity for other identities because of “economic value”

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa If i asked you for your identification, what and what datas would be there? That’s how you are identified and not through character bfr And for every Nigerian identification your ethnicity is also required so what are we chatting??

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa To the outside world sure you’re Nigerian before your ethnicity but to history, we’re our ethnic groups before Nigerians as Nigeria wasn’t formed before colonization Those Spanish people did not have to stop speaking Spanish to speak English btw

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa Also nobody cares about the language you choose to speak in but people care about tying an identity to economic values and branding it useless So back to the point, i speak igbo because it is part of my identity

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa What’s the point of a Chinese adage if only Chinese people understand it? The only reason English and co are global languages is because people of different ethnicities use it as a middle ground to carry out businesses or understand each other doesn’t mean others are not of value

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa You as a person literally consist of your race, nationality/ethnicity and gender, you can’t escape it. That’s literally how you’re identified 💀 The only point of speaking any language is to communicate with other people that understands the language too wtf is the argument 😭

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa You are not speaking igbo for economical reasons, you’re speaking it because it is your identity wtf can’t you understand there Don’t the Chinese learn other languages while still retaining theirs? If you’re so much about tying identity to economic value then refer to that tweet

@whoisdonta @kris2reel @Ada0lisa The whole argument was based off the fact them saying speaking or understanding igbo doesn’t open doors for you meanwhile other languages does, well turning white opens that door fully way more than just the language hence the reference, i don’t understand what you chatting again
