Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has raised concerns over the declining use of the Igbo language among the younger generation.

Naijaonpoint reports that in a Facebook post, the father of five said that many Igbo children today are unable to speak their mother tongue.

He described it as a failure that must be addressed by parents and the community.

He wrote: “Today, many of us who are Igbos, our children cannot speak Igbo. “It’s a failure on our part that must be corrected moving forward.”

In other news, Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has replied to a social media user who mocked her choice of packaging while serving food to her visitors.

Naijaonpoint reports that the incident began after Akindele posted a video on Snapchat on Tuesday night showing how she entertained members of her crew in her home.

When they were leaving, she gave them food neatly packed in yellow and black plastic bags. A viewer who watched the clip mocked the actress, saying the bags did not look classy.

The person wrote: “Aunty Funke, you are not posh at all. Why use yellow and black nylon?”

Akindele, who is known for addressing such comments directly, gave a sharp reply.
