Erica fires at critics over language barrier

Nigerian reality tv star and influencer Erica Nlewedim has criticized the act of insulting and mocking a person of their inability to speak their native language.

The actress was seen in a clip where she was attempting to speak Igbo language.  This video got reactions with many lashing at her for her inability to speak her native language.

Erica then responded to the criticisms on Monday, describing the act as a self hating attribute within the Igbo community.

“Look at my Igbo people in the comments showing how much they hate their own!. Continue, but please don’t complain when others don’t show you love. You can’t be so openly divided against your own people and expect trust from outsiders!,” Erica said.

She also spoke against cyberbullying and comparisons all in the name of airing their opinion.

“Is it your first instinct to insult someone who is (from your tribe) but can’t speak the language? And use words like pig, bitch, shame, etc? Of course not! We, on the other hand, need to learn love and unity,” she added.
