Singer Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, has reaffirmed his pride in his Nigerian roots, declaring that he is "nobody" without his indigenous culture and native language.
The music star made the statement in a post shared on X on Wednesday morning, 29 July, where he described himself as "100% Nigerian" and proudly Igbo.His remarks come days after his twin brother and former P-Square bandmate, Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, sparked widespread debate online. Peter faced criticism after suggesting that indigenous Nigerian languages have little practical value during a discussion about his children's ability to speak French.
The comments attracted mixed reactions on social media, with many Nigerians arguing that native languages are an important part of the country's cultural identity and heritage.
Although Paul did not directly mention his brother in his post, many social media users interpreted his message as a response to the ongoing conversation surrounding the importance of preserving indigenous languages and cultural identity.
