Super Amazing: Old Oyinbo Men and Women Sing Catholic Hymn Fluently in Igbo, Video Causes Stir among Nigerians

  • A group of old Oyinbo men and women sang their hearts out in Igbo while practicing a Catholic hymn

Led by a man who appeared to be their choir master, the old choir members guided by a copy of the hymn in their hands sang with such a finesse that a non-speaker of Igbo language would want to learn it.

Legit.ng couldn't ascertain the location of the incident as of time of making this report.

The over 2 minute video has earned the old people admiration from Nigerians especially those of Igbo extraction but others are in disagreement.

Kennedy C. Stephen said:

"Wow !!! This is super amazing, unity in diversity is God's plan.
"Some of you Igbo's who teach your children only English language, you don't teach them Igbo language, see how the English people are in need of your own Igbo language."

Desmond Obasi commented:

"This is absolutely wonderful. That white people are singing in Igbo language. God is great. Igbo language will eventually be a world language. Glory be to God Almighty."

Ogbedeleto Jacinta remarked:

"You people have forgot that we have been using Latin in Roman Catholic Church for centuries and we have been promoting foreign languages and now only using Igbo translation for church service we will not hear word again.
"Mediocrity is so absurd."
