Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has taken to social media to call out people who laugh at the Igbos for having an igbotic accent
According to the father of four on his Instagram page, it is funny how people accommodate the Chinese and the Italian man when they speak English with their accent but lash out at the Igbo man for speaking with an Igbo accent. He further noted that people tolerate Chinese and Italian accent because they are white.
In his own words, he wrote;
”The Chinese man speaks English with a Chinese accent. Same with the Italian, etc. But you’re cool with them cos they are white. Then your Igbo brother will speak his Engish with Igbo accent and you laugh at him, oh he’s too igbotic Is he supposed to be Portuguese? Are you ok?”
