Yul Edochie, has taken to social media to question why Nigerians find it normal in laughing at their fellow countrymen who speak the English language with their native accent.
According to Yul Edochie, people do no have problems with the Chinese man speaking English with a Chinese accent but when an Igbo man speaks the language with his accent then it becomes a problem.
Yul Edochie took to the microblogging platform and tweeted saying;
”The Chinese man speaks English with a Chinese accent. Same with the Italian, etc. But you’re cool with it cos they are white. Then your Igbo brother will speak his English with Igbo accent. And you laugh at him, ‘oh he’s too Igbotic’. Is he supposed to be Portuguese? Are you ok?”
