Destiny Etiko, a well-known Nollywood actress, complained how the Yoruba people always want to use their dialect even when addressing individuals from other tribes.
The actress remarked in a video she published on her Instagram account that Yoruba people are fond of always using their language, even on blogs, and wondered whether they believe everyone is Yoruba.
She said: “I don’t just know why whenever you’re speaking to Yoruba people, they’ll always want to speak Yoruba. I don’t understand. Even on blogs. You people will just be speaking Yoruba anyhow. What do you think? You think everyone is Yoruba?”
Destiny Etiko further addressed the issue as she explained that one is not expected to speak their dialect when addressing the public. She also added that they can speak pidgin English if they cannot speak fluent English as long as it is what everyone will be able to comprehend.
