Little girl refuses to watch Igbo cartoon
Posted by @eloraandmama on TikTok, the video captured the daughter’s blatant disinterest in the cartoon.
The toddler deliberately shut her eyes and scrunched up her face in disgust, leaving viewers in stitches.
According to the mother, this was her deliberate strategy to encourage her child, Kamara, to learn Igbo, but it didn’t work.
“She doesn’t want to watch Igbo cartoon. Kamara must learn Igbo language,” the mother insisted.
