Mr P Sparks Debate After Questioning the Value of Nigerian Languages

Singer Peter Okoye, known as Mr P, sparked debate after celebrating his children’s ability to speak French during a family trip to Paris. He said watching them communicate effortlessly in French made him consider owning a home in the city. When a social media user asked whether his children could also speak Igbo, Mr P questioned the practical value of Nigerian languages. He argued that parents should be free to choose the languages they teach their children. As criticism grew, he urged commenters to mind their business and said Nigerians should focus on the country’s more pressing problems. His remarks have reignited conversations about cultural identity, indigenous languages and raising children abroad.
