Peter Okoye tells critics to mind their business
In a series of posts, Peter argued that the ability of his children to speak a Nigerian language has no impact on anyone else’s life. He also accused critics of using the issue to vent their frustrations.
“No amount of insult dey stop person progress or success! So continue!🤣🪣 Language identity my a$$,” he wrote.
In another post, he questioned why the topic had become a source of public debate.
“With everything going on in Nigeria, your biggest concern is whether my children speak Nigerian languages? 🤦🏽♂️😂
Out of all the real issues facing the country, this is what keeps you awake?
Una never ready for our country. Ndi nchu.”
Peter further maintained that every parent has the right to decide how to raise their children.
“When it’s your turn, teach your own kids all the languages in Nigeria if that’s your choice.
As for me and my family, we’re good. Go and find another place to pour your frustration.
Again, what exactly do you stand to gain if my children speak Nigerian languages? How does that improve your life?
MYB” Mind Your Business. Cry harder 👉🏽🪣🪣🪣. (gave them cup to fill their tears).”
He concluded the series of posts by reiterating that critics should stay out of his family’s affairs.
“I’ve got just three words for you: MYB” Mind Your Business.
Go and find someone else to pour your frustration on. Not here.
Yen yen yen yen yen…”
