I was ridiculed for speaking Twi on my shows- Delay
According to Delay when she joined the media space some years ago, she realized that the number of media houses that used the local dialect was just few. She disclosed it gingered her to use Twi on radio although she was lambasted for doing so at that time.
Speaking in a recent interview, Delay disclosed that when she started her show in the local dialect on radio some years back, she was tagged as a “villager and weird”.
Delay again stated that her choice of language on radio back then made her look like the odd one in the midst of the chickens.
“But today, corporate brands like Coca-Cola, Vodafone, and Ideal Milk are all going along with some appealing Twi slogans for advertisement purposes. Twi has become the new flex,” She intoned.
“Of course, of course, I will boldly chest out to say I have made Twi language usage prestigious on the airwaves”
In addition, she spewed, “I believe it is the way to go because Germans don’t speak English and Italians don’t utter Turkish. So, we need to accept what we have and be proud of it.”
