I don't understand why some comments are so critical about whether they can speak their languages or not coz I'm sure they also wish they were fluent in their respective native languages. It's not anyone's fault that most parents these days speak mostly English to their children at home and miraculously expect them to start speaking their native languages when they're older. Doesn't work that way.
!!!!!
It’s definitely somebody’s fault. To people abroad it’s shameful, because you don’t even speak proper English when you get here. You’re speaking English with a thick foreign accent, and can’t even speak your own language. It’s very shameful to people abroad. Who else is doing that and where? It looks ridiculous.
@@Honestly_Speaking_Gods_Truth What the hell is your problem???
@@Honestly_Speaking_Gods_Truth If your parents didn't teach you, that's sad but you can buckle up and teach yourself. The attitudes displayed in this video reek of extreme colonial mentality and are a disgrace.
It's bad and sad when children are not taught their native tongue. That said, we can't be children forever. If you can study for GCSE, first degree, masters, PhD etc. you can equally study your own language. It's never too late. It all boils down to one's mindset.
Claire, those cheek bones!!!😍😍😍 You should consider modelling.
Bring work for us naauu
Akaah’s Yoruba sounds like incantations 😂😂💔 y’all are cuteeeee🥺😍❤️
Same here dad is Igbo and mom is Indian, but we grew up in India can speak mom language I can understand Igbo but not able to speak meh need to learn .
Wawuuu quite interesting and unique
I’m Edo my boyfriend is Igbo 😂, and I love how he loves me! My parents were once like, ah igbo😫😂, but after meeting him, they now love him more than I do
When she said: " I don't keep record of your wrongs" Aww!!
1Corinthians13!! ❤
Akah and Claire please do a video about expectations you had before marriage and how different it’s been since you got married. Like a marriage update especially after being married for a year 💁🏾♀️💁🏾♀️
Yea @AkahandClaire please do this
Lmao, My boyfriend is yoruba and I'm igbo but we are literally a match made in heaven. Fingers crossed on extended family stuff 🤣
That's nice. I'm Urhobo and my boyfriend is Ibo. Quick question, if you both can speak your languages what do you think your children (God willing) will speak? Been discussing this with my partner and I thought to ask another opinion. Stay safe 💯💕
@@Michelle-fz4px both. You speak yours to the kids and he speak his tk the kids.
If the kids learn both its a plus. Even if they learn just one , also a plus. I am all for the more languages the merrier.
@@everunik8770 Thank you 😊💯
Why you care about extended family?💁🏽♀️😩
They all can kick-rocks!😂 Sorry, things like that don’t make sense to me.
They can all shift!
It may be a bit difficult with the extended family but not impossible, if it were the other way around with the man being Igbo, the girl would be better off marrying someone else. It’s only in extremely rare cases she would have any peace if the marriage takes place at all.
Yea I totally agree with Claire on something very very attractive about an educated person who can still speak their local language well
My mum is Igbo and Dad yoruba.. I Understand both languages. Mum and Dad did a good job. My mum speaks yoruba well but daddy doesn't understand Igbo.
Chaiiii
It's not interracial. Inter-Ethic marriages. You are of the same race. Love you guys. I am an African American man and my wife is Nigerian (Igbo). Met her in Nigeria. For me as a man, I don't care what others think. I do what's best for me. No one can die for you or live for you. My preference is always a black woman from either USA, continental African, Latin America or Caribbean. God answered my prayers.
Am Yoruba from osun state but my husband is Igbo man.. Our married so fun
This is beautiful to hear.
I don't keep count of your wrongs [ Claire ].... That's true love 💕
I'm from Osun! And I lived there for 6 years. It's like mini Ibadan. Pretty small state and homely. You can't get around without seeing someone you know😂
If I may ask ma'am, how would you rate governor Aregbesola regime?
Osun festival is getting a lot of publicity. A lot of folks from the U.S, Cuba and Brazil attend this festival yearly.
I think Aregbe focused a lot on infrastructure. He did well in his first term, but decided to eat off the people in the 2nd term. Osogbo's development grew rapidly during his regime. I saw the turn around by myself. I know what it was when I newly got there and within a few years, there was a lot of transformation. However, the salary cut thing gave him a really bad name as it wrecked a lot of people's lives and affected me too.
I think our grandparents truely practised the husband gets more meat thing. I'm from Abia, my mum is Bayelsa and I grew up in Lagos. My parents speak Ijaw and my mum also speaks yoruba so I grew up eating more ijaw and yoruba meals (not your typical igbo gal 😁). Now I'm married to Anambra and had to learn to cook ofe onugbu and oha 😁. I'm very adventurous with food so it is a plus for me. I don't speak igbo and understand little, I'm learning. Now I enjoy going to villa, trust me I was super skeptical; but to be honest, hubby's villa is Very Cool, fresh air, meet all the extended family, it's just home. Though we don't go yearly, but I enjoy it because I get to relax and just enjoy myself. I prefer native names, they have such deep meaning.
Watching you for the first time and I'm loving your family. I'm a Cameroonian married to a Yoruba guy and we speak our dialects fluently.
We love you forever Madam Frida Akanbi in behalf of all Yorubas home and abroad. You're our own forever and ever. Yorubas protects their own
@@towardsanewnigeriajoinme6697 Amen and I love you all.
Yesterday, my bf said Claire looks like a baby 😂 I agree. And Claire is Yoruba? I didn’t even know. Love you guys 😍😍
Claire is so beautiful. I was just focused on her.
abi! she is so stunning with this fringe! wawu
She looks like a doll❤
Thank you 😊 😘😘😘
Claire has the most awesome check bones in the universe. She is so so pretty! Akah is such a lovely girl. Akah is a very lucky guy!😄
@@damarisabimbola4756 true
Who else noticed the "I love this babe die" look Akah gave when she wasn't looking😘
Hah
Time stamp please?
Fikayo Adeniran 11:10 thereabout
Ayyyeeee! I did!
Yes! I agree. There is something so sexy about an educated man speaking Yoruba. Like I will just be swooning.
Thanks for sharing. You all are amazing!!
The last part just cracked me up, lots of Love guys.
Lovely. Great content 😍❤
I enjoyed every second of the video
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I'm a very new subscriber and I've met my first early video, I'm so happy 😊!
Why am I just seeing y'all videos now!
Anyways I already subscribed and turned notification on.
Instagram live video would be so greattttt. I wouldn't miss it for the world!
Enjoyed it as usual! 😩❤️❤️❤️
Its always so nice to hear from you guys❤
My husband is Igbo and I am Yoruba we have no issues with us being from different tribes. My husband. and his family speak Yoruba fluently my Yoruba is OK. He speak Igbo but his Yoruba is better.
Lol I love Claire soo much, sooo funny😂😂😂. You really slayed the makeup weldone😊😊
Loved this video so much, your sincerity and openness is beautiful
I like how original you both are. The conversations are always genuine❤️
was grinning from ear to ear, its absolutely beautiful and we cant negate the importance of Gods love if you want to love and be loved right ,truly blessed
I can’t just express how much I love you guys. I pray for a love like yours. God will definitely keep you two. Amen
Oh my God! You guys are a whole vibe, where have you been all my life!❤️
YESSSSSS!!!you guys need to check out Erin Ijesha water fall, go to Ife resort and visit the iconic Osun groove
I love this video so much and it really made me laugh. I love you guys and I'm looking forward to my own inter-tribal marriage.
Awesome time guys! I fell in love with you guys since your wedding. More because it was a little after I said YES to a Benue guy!
Please share the sweet things about having a spouse from another tribe
I am also in the same boat🚣♂️ with you cuties. Hubby Igbo and I am also from Claire's state! 🤟🏾 Love these duo! ♥️💪🏾
I laughed so much watching this video!!! Had to subscribe🤣🤣😂
This just made my night, learnt a lot from this video, thank you guys for being so open and honest with us whilst cracking us up 😂😂..
'Guys, hollup, do you see this makeup? ' 😂😂
The makeup was fire though 🔥
Claire please give us a tutorial video 😊
Very nice video. I am glad to see that you guys are happy together despite the cultural differences . God bless your marriage
Nigerian Rihanna.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice one, Akah and Claire. You touched on very important subjects and you were honest.💪🏾
At the end of the day, what really matters is, respect to both parties family, communication, love and appreciation and friendship between the couple. Holding tight to tradition even if both parties are from the same place. Most of our African tradition glorifies the man and look down on the women as second class citizens. Gone are those days when men were the only break winners of the family. These days very many of the women contribute to the well being of the family. Here in New York, l have settled a lot of husband and wife misunderstanding who are from the same tribe. They both work and the husband tells his wife my father never enter the kitchen to cook. Forgetting that his mother was a full time house wife. My wife and l came from different cultures, but we are best of friends.
My faves. Here to have a good laugh and enjoy watching your amazing content.
Thank you
You guys are amazing and you crack me up 😂. I'm yoruba and married to a yoruba man. For me I think love amongst the couple and both families trumps whatever and it helps balance things.
Premium CONTENT yassss😍😍😍🧡. Finally Akah Nd Claire🧡
Yaayyy
Awwwwwwn ❤❤❤❤..The language we speak is love and understanding 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I love this 😍
Yes Instagram live!!!
What a funny couple that also understands each other. May your marital life be filled of marriage bliss.
The last statement in the video is the key. God bless you people!
Amen!
I would love for you two to explore Osun as some of the traditional made beliefs in movies are no longer there although some may. The prominent religion is Islam and Christianity, you would be surprised of how conscious they are with God. I have worked in Ipetu-Ijesha, five minutes drive from Erin Ijesha waterfalls for over five years and the experience shuttling both lagos and Osun has been a handful.
I’m married to an Igbo guy too and I don’t like oha soup too and similar stories too. I’m Yoruba. Inter-tribal marriage is interesting. Although, my husband complains of my pepper, but he’s growing to like it a bit 🤣😅🤣😅.
The only thing I found to be supper different might be language. Every other things are similar or just plain human behaviors (we need to stop the “Igbos/Yorubas are this.”....we all humans with human behaviors).
Live video sounds good.
I forgot to add that we have two kids and both kids have Igbo, Yoruba & Biblical/English names. Though mouthful of names......We currently call them by their Biblical/English name.🤪
P.S.
Suggestion: Y’all could make a video of what you like about each other’s culture. Especially the obvious ones because as I stated before language is most different, but culture, lots of similarities.
Oh my goodness!!! 😮 Then u haven't tasted a good Oha soup. Oh mine! That's my best soup.
I am igbo and I truelyyyyyy low key don't fancy Uha soup🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️. But Uha and egusi is cool.
Yes
Yoruba people put hurrendous peppee😅😅 in ur jollof and soups
Dan True! I can’t deal with foods with no pepper😂😂😂. Even my kids (ages 9 & 7) from a very tender age, I’ve thought them how to handle or like pepper.
We all love to see you guys together, your wife is so so beautiful, God bless you guys. ❤
Are you doing part 2, because I really enjoyed it.
I love this video and the way Claire comes for Akah is always funny🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do like inter-tribal relationships/marriages where both partners have respect and a reasonable degree of understanding about and for the other’s ethnic affiliation. Well done, guys.
I so much enjoyed watching this 😍😍❤️
It’s sweeter when you guys speak the same language when you live abroad . Mad banter and gossips 😂
B. Esho Swearsssssss.....so sweet ehn
Trust me if you live in England like I do, even though my parents don’t speak the same language, the vast majority of people who aren’t nigerian can’t understand pigin english anyway😂
I love love inter tribal marriages. My paternal grand parents are one. Grand father Yoruba and Grand mother Hausa. My daddy is Yoruba and my mummy is Ibo. If i had my way I would have married Hausa. I know see any serious one thats why i married Yoruba. I know how to speak both languages very well and Hausa partially. So you can see i am a true Nigerian. Please you guys should start speaking your languages to you children early o. Mine are trying in both as well. All the best dearies. Love watching you. Please shout me out in your next video.
The more languages the merrier ☺
Wow. So which language do you pick? When you talk to your head in private or when you're praying in your mind, what language do you use?
Love this. I'm Cameroonian, IV had a great Yuroba friend who's been a shoulder when times were....
Indeed love is the universal language.
I secondary school was weird😂😂
Friday afternoon was Eba and egusi soup. We really dreaded the meal😂😂😂. I absolutely enjoyed your video. Kudos to you.
As a child of an inter tribal marriage, it's nice to see someone talk about this
OMG!!...You two are really amazing...I do enjoy your videos each time I watch them,God continue to bless and keep you both.. It's the last part of me 🤣.."Hey guys, do you see this make up,oh no she slayed it"🤣🤣
Great couple with a fun filled episode.
Love u guys a lot. Trying the intertribal relationship...though it has a lot of wahala. But I love u saying...you loved yourself regardless of tribe and your language is love. Meanwhile...Claire looks so breathtaking..Akah, you are doing well😍😜
I already know this would be a funny video ❤️
I just saw you & I’ve subscribed
love you guys! and congrats on the baby! Thank you for planning to speak yoruba and ibo to your children. Please you have to be intentional or it will soon fall to the side. The Lord will help you.
I’m also from osun, my fiancé is from Akwa ibom.... love you guys 🙏
Ohh, Clare you killed it at the end. Burst my brain 😄😄
First time watching you guys..am inlove already
I enjoyed this 👏
I'm supposed to be preparing for a presentation so I came to TH-cam to get more resources only for me to stumble on your video. I watched till the end and laughed all through😂😂😂😂. How do I go back to business mode? 😭😭
Lol, Akah's Yoruba tho😂😅. Nice video, Most important language is Love🔑. That who is your Nigerian Rihanna part🤣🤣. Love you both♥️
Looll. Love you right back
Claire talking about the 3 meat and tray situation felt like she was breaking a particular table.. I felt that damn!!
Thank you for this fun video. I believe Claire should try making Igbo soups for Akah, even though she doesn't like them.
The Daddy's food thing is so so so true. So so true.
I was cracking throughout the video. Children are the ones that feel the tribalism the most. My dad is Igbo and my mom is Yoruba and I speak Yoruba the most. I love my Ibo name and please keep your children's name because they will fill form later in life. The one that annoys me is when people will be asking if I am Igbo or Yoruba, my reply is BOTH. You guys will be fine.
My senior from Hamec!!!
yeah I'm Congolese and people automatically want to associate you to your father's tribe because a lot of tribes are patriarchal but my mother's tribe is matriarchal and the children belong to the mother. My name is from my dad's side but all my early childhood I was raised by my mother's family so I have a much stronger affinity to my mum's people than my dad's either way I don't like being made to chose because I never will.
Nice I also tell them the same. That I am yorubaibo
Nice
@@oladunnioginni6562, that's great. It's because you're proud of both cultures. And your folks did a good job on you. Because in most cases, kids go with the tribe the dad is from.
The two of you are so cute😍😍. I'm a product of intertribal language. My Dad is Akwaibom, my mum was Igbo. I'm based in Lagos. For me its the food(I enjoy all 3 tribes food well😋). For Language I don't speak any ooo(God no go shame us😒😭). Thanks for this, I laughed all through.
"Isn't there more to this honouring"😂😂.... I love you both💕
"At the end of the day it is THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE THAT WE SPEAK." Widsom from our nigerian Rihanna!! 💕🤣🤣🤣
Nigerian Rihanna 😀
Language of love is clearly not enough if they depend on another man's language (English) for survival. Interviews like this set a bad example for the younger generation.
Jay Cee This is not a bad example. Let’s not assume the worst for persons or parents of such persons who can’t speak their local language. What if they didn’t grow in their town so they can’t speak their own language, and where they grew up, because they had to learn it for school, they only know words and conjugation and grammar structure but can’t actually speak? It shouldn’t be their fault
@@PatriciaAbijah It's bad and sad when children are not taught their native tongue. That said, we can't be children forever. If you can study for GCSE, first degree, masters, PhD etc. you can equally study your own language. It's never too late. It all boils down to one's mindset.
Jay Cee. Fact, you nailed it. That’s one of the reasons I don’t like inter tribal marriage but if they can both try to learn each other’s language , I’m up for it
I'm liking you guys' channel. Hubby and I are Ibos but we speak Igbo and Yoruba cuz we grew up in Lagos. It's nice. Y'all can learn if you want.
❤❤ even I and my girls
I just watched this movie u were in on netflix and I was so surprised
Yes to live session on swimming pool stories!!
I was questioning my dad recently about the two pieces of meat too.
No idea where that concept came from
I am a product of inter-tribal marriage ( dad is from Kaduna state while my mum is from Anambra) I can speak both language and Yoruba because I gree up in Lagos. I would also love to have inter-tribal marriage. 😁
My KD sister😍 all love fam
The last part of the video where Claire zoned out is just so hilarious...
I'll never say get tired of saying this, Claire is SO cute 😍
Thank you 😊 ❤️
I have never commented before but haaa... why you do us like this .. I missed you guys ♥️♥️♥️
Just to drop the 500th comment.
I love you both anyways 😍
The ending tho. Claire is such a vibe😂😂😂😂😂
I'm yoruba and I have always told my mum that I would marry outside my tribe. I love it and love you guys!
