“I Can’t Speak My Native Edo Dialect”- Toyin Abraham Opens Up
Toyin Abraham has explained why she doesn’t speak her native Edo language, even though she hails from Auchi in Edo State.
During a conversation with TikToker Jarvis at the premiere of the movie Ginger, the Nollywood actress shared that her strong command of Yoruba is due to being born and raised in a Yoruba community, as well as being married to a Yoruba man.
“I can’t speak Edo. You know I was born and brought up in Yoruba land. And I married a Yoruba man. So I’m practically Yoruba. I can’t even speak Edo. One bit. But there’s no Yoruba I can’t speak,” she explained.
