MY NATIVE LANGUAGE SAVED MY ENTIRE FAMILY! I am based in the Canada with my family. I have four children,the oldest is twelve while the youngest is four years. My husband is not from Nigeria so I didn’t bother him about building a house in Nigeria. My mother always told me to speak my native language to my children and I have been doing so. They understand everything but they don’t speak much. When I went home, i told my mom I would like to build a house in our village. I bought a land and contacted a builder. But my mom said I should allow my sister to be in charge and work with her own builder. I agreed and returned back to Canada 🇨🇦. I started sending money for foundation, building,roofing and finishing. My sister was sending pictures of every stage. I told my mom and sister that would come back after the house was completed, so I could come with my children. After five years she told me the house was finished. I bought all the furniture and shipped down. Everything seemed good . I started planning my visit with my children but I didn’t inform anybody except my childhood friend. When I got to the airport my friend picked us up and I stayed with her for two days . I called my mom and sister that I just landed in the country. I planned to get to them in two days and that I would like to stay in my house so she should get the place ready. She was excited but I could sense the uneasiness in her voice. I got to my sister’s house with my children. She had cooked my favorite meal 🥘 and I could even smell the aroma from outside. The table was set. She said after food she would go and drop us in my house. I thanked her and went to the bathroom. When I returned , my children were already on their toes standing while my sister was outside talking with someone. My children said we should leave and that the food was poisoned . They said they heard their aunt speaking to someone in their dialect that she didn’t build any house 🏠. She said a lot of things in their presence not knowing they understood our language . My sister was surprised when I challenged her and asked her to taste the food. She couldn’t and that confirmed my suspicions. We moved out immediately to the hotel 🏨 ,changed our flight tickets and returned back to Canada 🇨🇦 . If my children didn’t understand my language, we would have been on the pages of the papers. Let your children understand your language . I thank God for our lives !
