Nigerians respond as a mother insists on speaking Igbo with her daughter or doing nothing [Watch]

The mum, Chisom Daveed, posted a video showing off her daughter and saying how she intends to raise her to be a speaker of the Igbo language.

In the video, Chisom said she cannot bear it if her little daughter grows up and is unable to speak her mother tongue.

She said it is not even good for a child to understand the Igbo language and not be able to speak it fluently.

Chisom said she will be speaking Igbo to her daughter all the time so that she will grow up knowing the language.
