Yul Edochie questions banning vernacular language in schools

Nollywood actor and movie producer, Yul Edochie recalls the consequences of speaking vernacular back then in school. The actor expressed dismay on the criminalization of speaking indigenous languages in schools.

He, however, took to his social media platform to express his concern.

He wrote;

“To think that some of our teachers flogged us back then in school for speaking our language. Calling it vernacular. Can you imagine? You speak your own language you get flogged. All those teachers should be ashamed of themselves. Oyibo people really messed up our brains.”
