I Can’t Read My Local Language, But Can Read Yoruba, Actor Jude Chukwuka Share His Story

[@deanadewunmi3514]

Excellent man he deserves chief title in yoruba land

[@DogonTurenchi-c6y]

Yeah. Amaechi had one too plus the turban of Daura. It all ended in shame after he built Lagos-Kano-Daura- Niger republic modern railway line. He adorned his Sunday best to open the Mobalaji Johnson train station. Meanwhile his own eastern railway line from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri laid in ruins. But at least he got a yoruba title. Bomboclat.

[@ceejay4me]

As a Yoruba man, sir you speak fluently better yoruba more than me.

[@felixolopade1781]

Never knew this man but saw a music video of him and so youngsters singing on a bench etc, and was enamored by his free spirit. He’s an embodiment of a NIGERIAN.Neither young nor old.Easterner,westerner,Northern, does not matter. You’ll gladly welcome him into your home and have a meal with him. Great Mr Jude,you have a seat any day at my table.👍🏽

[@BT-JOHNSON]

Wow!!! Ye pa ri pa... gbi gbo ni mo gbo Yoruba, mi o lori ki...dis man is just from another dimension

[@MoeMoe-jt9ex]

This man is a Yoruba man to the core. He understands Yoruba language more than 95% of Yoruba people.

[@dewayneeze6686]

Awesome...absolutely awesome thespian. Proud to have grown up with this man.

[@ucheegbo1135]

Even some my yoruba brother can't recite the oriki ife, kudos bro

[@Oracleplane]

Oga is a much respected man by much and in my person..............

[@michaelabule]

I thought this man was Yoruba. Wow!

[@greennv586]

And they say Ibos want Biafra, when indeed they're the actual fabric of the Nigerian society?

[@taiwoodunlade9820]

God bless you richly sir. Ile ife a gbe wa o.

[@oluwadareajayi3236]

We Nigerian need to Remain as one country. See how Jude spoke Yoruba fluently, what would happen to intermarriage if Nigeria divide? We Nigerian are too intertwined. Hopefully politicians would do the needful and stop marginalization of Igbo and some other minor ethnic group in our country. All we want is fair , equity and justice among all Nigerian. Biko, jowo, harshe, useni

[@ADE-of-LAGOS]

Would Fulani let us be? Not at the cost of our peace and sanity.

[@chiranking777]

He grew up in downtown lagos. It is expected.

[@ajibosoadedamola3354]

Wow see fluent yoruba 😊

[@ted.n9609]

This is what Nigerians sound like before the Civil War, and then the Nigerian politicians that tribilized Nigeria for their own benefits. The Igbos are explorer and travelers and are the least tribilized people. Wherever the Igbos go , they adopt, they build and assimilate to that culture. They are open-minded people because of their culture.

[@elizabethmabadeje7001]

Wow!!!

[@SealGG]

Wow 👌 Great guy 👍

[@BehemothFash]

Omo people dey intelligent oo

[@illitrait]

...you've nailed it. Jude Chukwuka is intelligent - I won't insult him by mentioning his grasp of languages, because that is clearly just the tip of the iceberg. I think the best thing that can be said about him is that, amongst other things, he is a brilliant communicator. Salute.

[@oluakinwale4859]

Why should this come as a surprise to anyone? It is natural to expect that you become fluent in languages of the environment you grew up in. There are Hausas that speaks Yoruba language better than some yorubas, this is the uniqueness of "we" Nigerians and when l hear some people say "Nigeria should break up along ethnic lines" l laugh.

[@saintmichael3629]

How many known yorubas speak the igbo language so fluently with no accent. Apart from being born in Yoruba land or Hausa land, igbos are eager to learn, mingle and blend with any environment they find themselves in. When you talk about one Nigeria or patriotism igbos carry am for head and that's why an igbo person would travel far North or West and establish and settle and even raise family there. If only other tribes in Nigeria could have such a oneness mentality,it could have been so good in uniting us.

[@OLAVALBOBBY]

Fantastic

[@salome9402]

Great Nigerian

[@james_smith9]

Ohun ife, oga o. Ke pe o Baba

Our new olu Jacobs simple. He will act olu Jacobs easily

[@desmondnonso2637]

Give him titles instantly in yoruba land, amumuma efulefu na agafu

[@adachimgozirim6186]

Haaaa 😳, i thought baba was yoruba o?

[@Ibeugo213]

Bolom bolom studios 😂😂😅 Translation: Baloon Studios

[@chrisuche6521]

Ashamed of what, please

[@DogonTurenchi-c6y]

Bollock. Ibos like him are always fighting a lost cause, never learn. Would the high heavens fall if he spoke Ibo and Yoruba? Zik named his first son Bamidele Azikiwe; Ibiam's wife was Lady Olayinka Ibiam etc. Ibos elected Fulani as first mayor of Enugu. Where did it all end? Zik's Group of newspapers, once the largest publishing conglomerate in Africa with titles such as the nationalistic "West Africa Pilot" etc. was looted in Lagos when he fled east to escape genocide. He continued to lament until he died. When are you going to use your channel to campaign for the abandoned Eastern railway line from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri while Nigeria builds railway to Niger republic with Chinese loans? Have you condemned Lagos demolitions, Ibo must go etc?

[@b.c.34]

dede ihe a ikwuru bu okwu ndi nzuzu.

[@kene6753]

Nna, ike gulu. Ezigbo onye efulefu ka nwoke a bu. Ifele adiro ya na iru.

[@beckychiemerie6462]

😂😂😂😂 ezigbo onye eriri eri

[@adekunleyussuf4259]

Not today's Igbos who lacked respect. He is more of a Yoruba stock than Igbo. Although, unfortunately, according to the Nigerian law, he is an Igbo indigine despite that he was born in Nigeria.

[@aframaco9491]

This man is a perfect example of a NIGERIAN!!!! The more we focus on our Nigerianness , the better for Nigeria as a country!!! And furthermore, it is best to judge each person you come across including your family members, individually !!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!

[@ofonwannabugwu3763]

U want to compare ndigbo to ur human body parts yoruba tribe

[@chiranking777]

Gbe ẹnu ẹ soun

[@chijinduclaris1827]

I mean it pained you that he is a true and proud son of the Ibo tribe.

[@chijinduclaris1827]

He speaks Yoruba fluently is because he has free spirit and detribalized. His DNA is Ibo and NOTHING can change that. Live with it

[@onyichi3989]

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[@kennethokeke3389]

Very very

[@beckychiemerie6462]

😂😂😂😂

[@chrisuche6521]

Ashamed of what

[@Chidinma-r6e]

Ashamed of what

[@Chidinma-r6e]

If that man is a USA citizen and speaks English fluently and does not speak igbo would you say he should ashamed of his self

[@goodwinchimezie191]

He is a Mumu Man He speaks Yoruba and so what He can also Change his Name to Olanike or Olaniyi

[@olalekanbamidele-qp7tt]

You are too tribalistic. Learn to embrace unity and collaboration. You don't have to be bitter all the time. The Yorubas and the Igbos are not enemies. Reorient yourself and rearrange your philosophy.

[@DogonTurenchi-c6y]

@@olalekanbamidele-qp7tt How about you buddy, have you also learnt to embrace "unity"? You should practice what you preach. Instead of condemning the man's crass ignorance you want to stifle free speech as well. Would the high heavens fall if he spoke Ibo and Yoruba?

[@lamieatonye6364]

Why are pained by another man's experience and joy?

[@user-ck1fq5kk2x]

He should totally hide hia face in ahame , see him laughing like a fool. What will he tlell his kids?

[@1111deebee]

Wow! Why so much h ate for him, because he embraces yorubaness? Goodness! Your kind ehn. Smh

[@asqh3543]

that he didn't grow up in Igbo land due to no fault of his and his parents didn't teach him Igbo and he learned how to speak the language of the environment he grew up in if he grew up in America and could only speak English, would you still he should be ashamed and what would he tell his kids?

[@asqh3543]

​@@1111deebeedon't mind him, if he was Yoruba man that could speak and read Igbo and not Yoruba, ask him what he would say?

[@TaraEliakim]

His kids will be very proud,to know that he isn't blindly tribalistic &: didn't grow up,during the stone age.

[@bolasalak7360]

This was the typical way of children raised in the 60s, and 70s we simply pick the language of our where we were raised irrespective of our ethnic origin. We didn't even know that we're ethnically different. Unfortunately we are losing that not only among the non indigene in their host towns but even the native children of today can no longer speak their language. Gradually we are losing our culture and oneness. It's better we retrace our steps to avoid being strangers in our country.
