Once you loose your language you ve lost part of, stop speaking only oyibo to your kids and within yourselves. It will be a double tragedy for us in Nigeria when we finally abandon all that we represent. Eji m aha chineke na ayo unu nile!!!!

Umu Igbo Unite in Atlanta is offering Igbo lessons for all those people who may have grown up here and aren't quite comfortable with speaking the language. The classes are great and I would encourage anyone to attend. It's time we stopped criticizing the offspring of parents that didn't make it a priority to teach their kids and started helping
those interested in speaking Igbo.
For those interested in the language, check out our website at www.umuigbounite.com

Geli, do you really wanna know my opinion on this? If yes, here it goes – a true Igbo speaks Igbo, yes it is a crime, not a criminal case anyway but is a crime and a shame. How will you feel as a citizen of USA for instance, and you cannot even say “come”. language is an indispensable part of culture and self honour, any nation that respects itself strives hard to keep their language not just alive but clean.

So my sister, incase you cannot speak Igbo, I suggest that you take time out and stay in Naija, or better still join the group that Amaka is talking about.

Even if I marry oyibo, take it from me, my kids will speak Igbo still.

crime n abomination aint same. so it aint no crime for an igbo not to know how to speak igbo, but then, it's an abomination for those who aint making any efforts to learn the language. Being unable to speak ur mother tongue's just the same as having no roots. dat's why i appreciate the efforts of our people who are trying to learn the language. so geli, if cant speak ur language, then, go look for ur roots...

Babe girl am sorry if I it sounded castigating, I never meant to, I was talking generally not really personally to you. But you do agree with me that speaking Igbo is a necessity for any true Igbo. Abi you no think so?
