This is really a major concern to me especially,cause right this morning same thought cut across my mind when I heard some kid in the other compound speaking English language so well....but meanwhile kids in my compound really bask in speaking their native language

and I began pondering on it....just for me to stumble upon your post...it dawn on me that this is a concern that must be address...if not sooner or later our mother tongue will go into oblivion ...

Cause right now at the university I have some of my friends who are native of Akwa-ibom state but grew up in lagos...but then they can't even speak anything in their mother tongue all speaking English all the time...

But seriously I have seen the benefits of speaking my mother tongue countless times one of which if I'm buying something with the locals using the native dialect gives me more ample measure to negotiate better and get what I want cheaper.....

Thanks @inspiredbyhive my mentor....pls keep pouring vibes like this....
