Yomi Fash-Lanso speaks about Nigerian language
Legit.ng had reported that Nollywood actor Yomi Fash-Lanso raised concerns about what he described as a growing trend among Nigerian families living abroad, particularly in Canada.
In a video shared on social media, the actor lamented the declining use of indigenous Nigerian languages, noting that Igbo and Yoruba are gradually losing ground among children raised outside the country.
According to Yomi, the situation has become so concerning that non-Nigerians are increasingly taking on the role of teaching Nigerian children their mother tongues. The actor’s comments have sparked a conversation about the preservation of Nigerian languages and culture among families in the diaspora.
