"When It's Your Turn, Teach Your Children Igbo" — Mr P Says His Children Speak French, Chinese and English, Not Igbo


Afrobeats singer and former member of the now-defunct P-Square duo, Peter Okoye (Mr P), has stirred reactions after suggesting that his children have no need for the Igbo language, saying they are fluent in French, Chinese and English instead.


The singer made the remarks after a fan asked whether his children also speak Igbo, following his post celebrating their proficiency in French.


Responding, Mr P said his children have nothing to do with the Igbo language. He added that if others consider Igbo and other Nigerian indigenous languages important, they are free to teach them to their own children.


His comments have sparked debate online, with many Nigerians expressing concern over the declining use of indigenous languages among younger generations.


For many Igbos, the language is more than a means of communication—it is a vital part of identity, history, culture and tradition. Historians and linguists have long argued that when a people lose their language, they gradually lose an important part of their heritage, including their oral history, customs, proverbs and worldview.


The discussion has once again raised an important question: As global languages such as English, French and Chinese become increasingly valuable, should they replace indigenous languages, or should parents strive to preserve both?
