A Nigerian mum has been praised on TikTok for insisting on raising a daughter who can speak the Igbo language. 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.

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. Several people have said she made a good decision especially as many Nigerian parents are fond of speaking the English language to their children.
