Nollywood star Yul Edochie has expressed worry over the declining use of the Igbo language among younger generations, describing it as a serious cultural failure that needs urgent correction.
Yul Edochie’s Call to Action
In a Facebook post, the father of five lamented that many Igbo children today cannot speak their mother tongue. He urged parents and communities to take responsibility for preserving the language.
“Today, many of us who are Igbos, our children cannot speak Igbo. It’s a failure on our part that must be corrected moving forward,” he wrote.
Funke Akindele Responds to Criticism
In a separate development, Nollywood actress Funke Akindele responded to a social media user who mocked her food packaging choice while she hosted her crew.
The actress had shared a Snapchat video showing how she entertained guests at her home, neatly packing food for them in yellow and black plastic bags.
A viewer criticized her, commenting:
“Aunty Funke, you are not posh at all. Why use yellow and black nylon?”
True to her outspoken nature, Akindele quickly fired back with a sharp response, dismissing the criticism.
