She always insists people are faking it but language is not that simple. It is not a matter of shame, it's about having the opportunities to learn.
It’s not a lie and is actually very common. In all parts of Nigeria, especially in major cities such as Lagos, so many people do not speak their native language. Regardless of the tribe one is born into, There is a lot of pressure to assimilate in to the western culture and many hold the belief that speaking their native language takes them away from that. Parents push their children to learn and speak English because they associate speaking English with living abroad and being successful
I was about to say the same. I can't speak my language, most Nigerians here often language shame me.
I grew up in Ghana, never spoken my native language and I still can’t speak it so I believe faith when she says she can’t speak
Me too.
Which language do you speak? English only?
How is that possible? My father was born in Ghana and spoke 4 different languages when he came to the UK at the age of 20. I was born in the UK and I can speak a little bit of Twi and I've only visited Ghana twice.
twi is not the only native language in Ghana. I'm from Ghana, I've lived in Ghana my entire life yet I can't speak my native tongue which is Krobo. I speak and understand twi however because I was raised in Ashanti Region where the native language is twi as opposed to my hometown which is Eastern region where the native tongue is krobo
So it's highly possible
The girl in the pink dress your makeup not matching is a barrier 😂😂😂
Mariam is the Mother of Fakery while Tania is the Mother of disappointment. Do they have other words in their vocabulary bank
Correct
How is it fake when it comes to faith? I am nigerian and can't even hold a full conversation in my mother tongue, like at least she was honest some of us only know a few simple words sometimes some of us don't know anything, at least we still immerse ourselves into the culture.
I’m from port harcourt , majority of the people in port harcourt speak pidgin it is very possible that most people can’t even speak their indigenous language because in ph pidgin is so popular and centralized .
As an Afro-American woman who has traced 32% of my ancestral DNA to the Igbo people of Nigeria, I was proud and smiling from ear to ear watching these beautiful people speak Igbo.
They are not all Igbo
Beautiful ❤️🙌 ~DG
@@beatricerotibi8564 I didn't say they were Igbo, but they were speaking Igbo (or trying to lol). I speak Spanish from time to time, but that doesn't mean I'm Spanish or Latina (I'm neither).
@@beatricerotibi8564 That wasn't what she said.
30%igbo here, heeey couso
I and ALL my Nigerian friends DO NOT UNDERSTAND A WORD of any of our dialects. She's not alone. Very sad but yeah people mike us exist. When you grow up rich your parent believe not knowing your language make you look sophisticated. ONLY my Hausa friends could rap in their language. And IT IS A BIG SHAME. I once called my mum on the phone in Nigeria and told her how sad I was that she felt it was needed to deprive me of an identity as an African and a Nigerian. This once call took place after my daughter came home from school and said she had to say a few words in her mother's language for the end of year party. Every child with a non-european parent had to say something in their parent's language....I WAS ASHAMED; That was what prompted me calling my mother and disclosing to her how I felt robbed of my African identity.
Yoruba language is too sweet mehn. Love it.
😍😍 ~DG
Yet is
It's very possible for faith not to be able to speak Ikwere, i have friends of similar minority languages that can't speak but some can understand. Ikwere is a minority language, you can't compare it to a majority language like Yoruba, Hausa & Igbo that people speak everywhere, everyday & always in our faces.
I agree that she may not be able to speak Ikwere. I’m Igbo, born and raised in Lagos but moved to the UK in my very early teens so my speaking Igbo is disappointing however, Ikwere (as much as they hate to admit) is very similar to Igbo. I have an Ikwere friend that speaks to me in the language and I understand majority of it. However, she may truly not know.
Ikwerre is an Igbo dialect not a minority.
It’s very possible but where’s the proof that she even wants to learn or considers it a problem! Her confessional says it all😢
@@Millionaire-ur1ru I agree but Ikwere people will fight tooth and nail to say otherwise.
Am so disappointed in some of this women bashing faith.. like it not uncommon not to speak you panifiable and it doesn’t mean you fake .. jeezzz.. enough of the toxicity
I don’t think it’s fake at all. Some parents do a terrible job with teaching their children their native language. I know several Nigerians that were born/ raised in lagos that can’t speak Igbo fluently. Even some that can’t speak Yoruba. Who do I blame ? The parents that keep speaking Oyibo and or pidgin English with the kids.. Shoot, Chioma’s Igbo isn’t the best either. She was born and raised in Nigeria before migrating to the UK.
I can barely speak Yoruba and it’s like the easiest Nigerian language to speak. People need to mind their business
"Igbo w a sprinkle of British" should have said " she spoke oy-igbo"😅
See as Mariam dey chew like goat😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not Iyabo saying Faith’s phonetic isn’t aligning when she(Iyabo) can’t construct good sentences 😂😂😂😂 This is so hilarious 😂😂😂
These women were quite bias towards Faith, but come on surly she can say some words in her language , at least chioma tried
No dear, not every Nigerian speaks their dialect. I don’t.
@@Tourterrathank you oh. Funny enough I can't speak mine too
It's not easy especially when you grow outside your state.
They’re just jealous of her
They’re so obsessed with faith it’s annoying 💀
Fr there jealous
I grew up in Lagos, surrounded by yoruba people, did Yoruba language in sec school,parent spoke Igbo to me always but my igbo language was still not good until went to uni Anambra for 3years that was when i learnt how to speak igbo
Why are they so nasty towards Faith
Is very very possible madam Iyabo and Tannia. Here in Port Harcourt, most of us dont know how to speak our dialect becus our most common languages here is just English and pigin. River State is a multi lingual state which Port Harcourt is our capital. So Iyabo please rest and live our faith alone 🙄
Don’t mind their bias
I’m from port harcourt I only know are few words English is mostly spoken in my household . These things aren’t alien .
Exactly I grew up in Port Harcourt and do not speak fluently my language even tho I hear cos my parents would speak to us but they never demanded we responded with it hence we ll reply in English or pidgin
I just commented the same thing
Most Nigerians behave like we only have Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba and the whole Nigeria revolves around Lagos
I love the set up its beautiful
Its giving "African on African" racism😢
No be small thing
Tribalism
So who is discriminating who please tell me
This is such a stupid statement, because it shows you don’t know what racism is. They are just bullying Faith.
@@pineapplesandvibes3277 😂chill out, stupid or not you understand what I'm saying
I cant speak my dialect, my parents NEVER forced us so it is VERY possible lol
“forced” 🙄 but they forced you to speak english instead?
@@VivSeesYes, FORCED. English is natural because we learn it at school and it is a common everyday language.
Unless, you frequently visit the village and/or your parents teach you, it is not natural for you to learn.
@@candynike897 I don't think forced the is the right word. As a South African who speaks 5 of our 12 languages nobody "forces" us to learn our mother tongues. It's actually easier to learn your mother tongue than English...as someone who has an English Literature minor in my degree...you may think you know the language but you would be surprised that even English is complex. I grew up in a suburb but was spoken to in Sepedi...my father's language at home and attended private school where English was the medium of instruction. Your parents CHOSE to not teach you and that's sad because how else will you communicate with your relatives or understand your traditional customs? Break the chain...teach your future kids.
@@keepitfrankwithfentseYour reply does not correlate with what I said at all.
You said that we have break the chain. How can we break the chain when we were not taught?
Your reply is misdirected. What I'm trying to explain is English is natural while native dialect has to be taught.
me too. as long as they love you is all that matters.
Now I see why they have an issue with Faith 😂😂😂
Marrium nd her bird hairstyle.
Why is a guy among house wives??
Chioma born and raised in Nigeria but somehow acts more English than the English. 🙄It is the fakery.
He is so handsome!
Laura's Igbo is 😂😂😂😂
Whaaaaaat
Port Harcourt is a no man’s land when it comes to languages unlike the east Igbo, west Yoruba and north hausa, and lots of us don’t speak it so don’t say it’s not possible, I hear my language very well but I don’t speak it.
That’s what I also said. Due to the diversity in language, pidgin is mostly spoken
Miriam clears has a problem with Faith's presents in the group. She is trying her best to turn everyone again Faith . She is annoying 😢
It's possible to not know how to speak your language. My cousins stay in Edo state very close to my grandma's house n they cannot speak anything at all. Y'all should stop bashing Faith you're just pained
It’s okay for Chioma to try but fake when Faith can’t lol
I’m from ikwerre and no I don’t know how to speak ikwerre but I understand 80% it doesn’t make me fake .
These women are gorgeous
Incredibly stunning 😍 ~NN
The lady with yellow on looks 💛
That's Miriam and she's totally beautiful! 🥰 ~SH
All the rrrrrrrrrrrrr🤣🤣
❤️💃 ~DG
I know many people who can understand the language but can’t speak it
Is possible although is shameful to say i too can't speak my mother's tongue 👅 and am in my early 30s my parents failed us is disappointing and frustrating because at times we are in situation when i dying to tell her something because of the surrounding we are i can't speak English i tell mom you see you didn't teach me my mother tongue 😢😢😢
How is that your mums fault. Is it too late?
@@officephone9988parents are supposed to teach their children. It’s very difficult to learn a language when you’re older. You will most likely speak like a foreigner.
After being harassed by my family during a wedding, this speaks to me.
Preserve the culture, gotta learn your native tongue
iyabo, tiannah, rommel and mariam should use the energy used for chioma on faith na. Toxicity here is much
Chille .. I thought I seen Porsche on there lol ...
I miss Carolyna. I’m glad Faith is here otherwise I would have stopped watching this after episode 1. The behavior of Iyabo and Mariam is disgusting.
Mariam, why are you hating
It’s not on show max in the Uk what’s going on
Both my parents are from ijebu and i can't speak a single word in ijebu. Not even good morning. I speak yoruba but not fluently. It's very possible.
It is very possible she doesn’t speak her language. PortHarcourt is not really like say Enugu. If you said both parents were Igbo and she grew up in Enugu but doesn’t speak Igbo, I might agree with Iyabo Ojo (I believe that’s her who made the comment).
I am from Port Harcourt too and I cannot speak it well, so I think faith is right 100%?
I am 27 years old and my parents didn't speak their language to any of us. I feel very embarrassed to say that i can't speak my language 😢
How is it a dielect when they are speaking two different languages?
Nigeria is finished!!
Must you guys copy everything?
Like FELA said “No sense, no ideas, Dem go Dey copy overseas Dey go”
I don't speak Yoruba I grew up in London so Faith is not alone in not knowing another language. My mother tongue is English so c'est la vie!
I hate that Showmax can not be used in the US anymore 😞
The guy’s browns is frightful
I love this season 2, i love chioma friendship with iyabo, and i love how laura didn't bring her drama from season1 too season 2, she's little bit change, for toyin i don't really how she feels like she's on top everybody
Dear aunty Mariam and mama ijabo ojo am 35 and I don’t even know how to speak urhobo stop hating
You should be ashamed of yourself then because the English people doesn’t have any other language apart from English same way you’ll never find an Indian or Chinese that doesn’t understands or speak his/her language
So tell me why you can’t speak your’s??😏
@favournwaobilor6142 you shouldn't be the one to shame her for that instead you encourage her to learn 🙄
immerse your self with your own home language ask the elders download the app and learn its no excuses also have fun while leaening 🙂
@@favournwaobilor6142 aunty iyabo ojo is that u???😂😂😂😂is it ur shame?? Any ways B I said what I said
Anyone of y’all having P with me not knowing how to speak my language should kick rocks ..idc Fr😂😂
So I have showmax.still can't watch the season one episodes.
Which country are you in, Esther? ~NN
Some ppl have pride in not knowing their father tongue
More so parents have pride not teaching their native tongue. It starts at home.
@@sillyhermyThank you for saying that. Blame the parents not the kids. 🤷♀️
I love Mariam
She's amazing ❤️ ~DG
What would be the reason for faking?
😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Marian get problem
Truly, Some people cant speak their dialect. Main cause may be their parents are not from the same tribe or their parents only speak English to them at home. Port Harcourt being a case study, quite a number of languages are spoken there. I lived there for 9 years, i cant speak any of their language....Here in Lagos, you will understand the language, Yoruba is spoken mainly.
So what happened to Caroline
I’m 32 and I can’t speak my dialect even though I grew up in my grandparents house from the age of 5-12
Who invited the house husband?
😂🤣😂
Not house husband 😂😂
🤭🤭~CC
Open your eye well... He is a wife!
@@denike1617 true
Nigeria is gradually accepting this hmm
"its the fakery for me" what would she gain from lying tho
I don’t know my dialect ?
What is it with ppl disliking others speaking with a foreign accent if you can understand the message?
Omg, Laura is wrong... Hahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂, she's so wrong. That's not what the interpretation of her own turn means in igbo. 1:03
is this the sum total to judge about?!
This is so interesting, so they’re saying people are faking that the they CANT speak the languages?
😂😂
Why I don’t see even one women with their natural hair. This is weird and scary bro..
They feel unattractive in their natural hair..
No way she doesn’t know how to speak a word😂
Is very common in our world ooo , people wake up and don’t judge . A lot of our BROTHERS don’t know how to speak their languages , is réel ooo these boys they come to toast u , but they don’t even know where they came from 😅😅😅😂😂😂 is réel my people
Its a language not dialect!
I can't speak my dialect, just only Nigerian pidgin English and English
I have to see this. Period dot.
Jump in 🔥~BM
Why are they calling languages dialects? Igbo, yoruba are languages
That Laura's igbo is very embarrassing
I am Urhobo but, I don't know how to speak my language, though I understand it perfectly. It's possible not to be able to speak ur language. What are they on? 🙄
But what is the fuss about not being able to speak their dialect? I am from Kaduna. We have over 60 dialects and I can't speak mine.
Yeah I'd have an issue the dialect is hard to understand respectfully
I’m sorry but is true.
Many diasporians born and raised in Europe or US cannot even speak their own dialects.
They aware about culture , traditional clothing , songs , food, craftsmanship , history , but all in English.
Armenians, Algerians , Indians , Vietnameses , Ghanaians , Filipinos born and raise in US are not able to speak and pronounce a basic sentence in their own dialect.
What is so hard for them to understand about her not speaking her native language? Like I get not agreeing but obviously it’s possible.
lol I’m American….but I CLEARLY see who the Queen Bee is 😈 those other girls need to be quiet
Iyabo was a fav of mine last season but this season she is giving major bully vibes. She has her own accent which is Yoruba- American-English. Miriam I actually hate to hear her speak (broken record)
This women are so intimidated by faith....How can queens treat another queen like that
Dr Rommel , am so disappointed I thought you were a good friend
Ikwerre 💯
Iyabo should leave faith alone abeg
I don't speak my native language nor can i hear ..because my parents nevwr spoke it to me
Is any of the ladies Edo?
No
Abeg wetin Laura talk??????
This one na serious blunder😢
Which otu nnaya?
As an American who has a Nigerian Father this is pretty degrading. So your blood is more African because you speak naive?
So your either not African enough or not Blk enough. Really ridiculous.
I have lived with my parents all my live and never learned my native dialect. These women are annoying 😒
The effevts of colonization unfortunately when your counteies main language is that of the oppressor
She's not faking anything, u all saying she's faking sound stupid, especially that Dumb dr romel
Port Harcourt speaks lots pidgin and English more than their dialect...so aunty make una try rest
