Mixed Race Kid Raised Abroad Spotted Speaking Fluent Igbo With His Grandmother (TRENDING VIDEO)

A viral video of a mixed-race boy speaking fluent Igbo language with his grandmother has warmed the hearts of many online users.
The boy, whose father is Igbo and mother is a foreigner, was raised abroad.
He was taught to speak Igbo and a video of him speaking it fluently with the right Owerri accent has earned him praise from viewers.
In the video, he is heard telling his grandma that he does his chores diligently.
He said Maria is the first daughter and should be the one cooking, but he ends up doing the cooking as though he is “Jacob and his mother”.
Likening himself to Jacob amused those listening to him.
The boy added that he sweeps the house but Maria doesn't and chooses to play instead. The boy's mother and siblings can also be seen in the clip.

Beautiful discussion ladies. When I was younger, I never understood why Afrikan immigrants did not teach/speak their native languages with their children. The Asian and Spanish immigrants ALWAYS spoke their languages with their children. So, glad to hear that thoughts are changing on the Continent. ❤🖤💚

He said that He can even cook , that He cooks like jacob and his mother , for him to make that connection tells you how deep the boy understand things

I am not a nigerian but I can’t stop watching that boy. Our kids can’t even have a proper conversation with their grandparents or other family members who can’t speak French or English. I feel so proud of that boy and ashamed of myself😢

This boy made my day, unlike some people here who brought their children from Nigeria, these children could not speak their local dialects again. Let's make them feel that our local languages are superior to English. God bless Nigeria.

Fluent Owerri dialect spoken by the young man. Kudos must go to the Father.

Igbo must be retained!!!!❤

[@oseyomonjoy1204]

I'm not Igbo but I'm over impressed.

[@ogoombaka2022]

It is also a bridge between the generations as the boy is able to have a direct communication with the grandmother without one person interpreting between them.

The child spoke even better than those in the village.

[@graceolayemi2618]

Even those who have never been outside Nigeria are proud when they say they can't speak their native language. You blame the parents though. Some of them think the child won't speak good English if they speak their native language to them.

[@flyingdove8995]

[@nnebedaniel1494]

Parents please teach your children our local languages

I am a Zambian 🇿🇲 who was brought up in the city in my early childhood and my parents didn't teach me how to speak any local language including our own.

The fact that we are becoming self aware and discussing this a great step. We must value our own culture and language, and teach our kids.

[@UmehNk-qo2jn]

He is in tune with his root

[@mobo204]

This is so, so important! No matter where we go, English is never our language? Thanks to GOD! I have a mixed-race daughter, and she speaks fluent IGBO! Even when We're out and she speaks IGBO, those who are Igbos will begin to wounder, and even ask how she does it. And it gives me great joy. Let's not throw away out ruth for the sake of someone's else language! Like in the UK, most parents have lost it not teaching their children their dialects? They'll just get lost in another man's country, but their own dialects from their ruth brings them home and they're not lost in another man's country with no identity! May we not lack wisdom! There's northing as beneficial as your own language!!
