If my response to βWho Naija language help?β upset some people, I apologize and take full responsibility for my words. That doesnβt mean I hate Nigerian languages or our culture.
It all started from an innocent tweet where I said my kids speak French, and it made me think maybe I should buy a house in Paris. Somehow, that turned into something completely different.
At no point did I say I hate the Igbo language or Igbo culture. I said βNaija language,β referring to the different languages in Nigeria, but some individuals twisted it and made it seem like I specifically mentioned Igbo. I didnβt.
That said, I still take responsibility for how my words were received.
But again, bro, youβre at it again, using this moment as another opportunity to pull me down. Just like I wrote in my open letter two years ago, doing everything possible to make people hate me will never work.
Yes, people are dragging me over my statement, and thatβs okay. We all have moments where our words can be misunderstood or where we could have expressed ourselves better. I accept that. But deliberately twisting my words and using petty tactics to damage my reputation says a lot.
I donβt know why you look for every opportunity to make derisive comments or jump on the bandwagon whenever Iβm being attacked. The other time, you threw shades at me and even age-shamed me for still dancing at my age. Now itβs this again.
At this point, I think itβs only fair I start giving the same energy I receive. No more Mr. Nice Guy.
Itβs aura for aura, Egusi for Egusi, Oha for Oha.
