L-R: Emmanuel Chibike, and Real Mc Ezegetive Comedy
A half-Nigerian and half-Chinese man, Emmanuel Chibike, has left social media users in awe with his ability to speak Igbo, English, and Chinese fluently.
The discovery was made by content creator and social media influencer known as Real Mc Ezegetive Comedy during his visit to an estate in China.
โIf you look around, youโll see that Iโm in an estate in China. I met our brother, and as I was looking at him, I was wondering if he was Chinese,โ Real Mc Ezegetive Comedy said in a video interview posted on Monday.
โI noticed that as I was speaking (in Igbo language), he was laughing, and I was wondering if he could understand what I was speaking,โ he added.
It was then that the comedian learned of Chibikeโs unique background.
โAfter discussions with him, he explained who he was to me. Apparently, his father, who is from Ozubulu (a town in Anambra State), came to China and married a Chinese woman,โ he explained.
Chibikeโs ability to effortlessly switch between the three languages left a lasting impression on the influencer. โThis boy here, he can speak English, Chinese, and Igbo languages,โ he marvelled.
In the video, Chibike showcased his multilingual skills by introducing himself in English, Chinese, and then Igbo.
His fluency in all three languages show his knowledge of his cultural heritage.
Real Mc Ezegetive Comedy seized the opportunity to encourage Igbo parents to teach their children their native language.
โIt is quite shameful that some Igbo children based in Igbo land canโt speak their native language,โ he lamented, emphasising the importance of preserving linguistic and cultural identities.
