Actor Yemi Blaq has spoken about the intelligence of people who grew up speaking local dialects, saying that fluency in English should not be mistaken for academic brilliance.
Reflecting on his upbringing in Ondo town, the actor said some people who are not fluent in English have a strong understanding of academic subjects, including science and mathematics.
In a post shared, he said:
“Ask those with fine spoken English anything about Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics, their network would fail immediately.
“Those who do not speak fine English dey Sabi book die. I grew up among those dialect-speaking people in Ondo town and they are quite brilliant”.
