In spite of the sentiments bothering on preference for the
use of English Language at the expense
of Yoruba Language, it is interesting to observe that it is still
being sought after not only by Africans
in diaspora but also Americans and Asians.
Some Americans have arrived the Centre for Yoruba Studies at
the University of Ibadan, Oyo State to learn the Yoruba Language. This is
however not the first time Americans will arrive Ibadan, to learn the language
as four Americans in 2011 graduated from the centre.
Yorubas are not ashamed of their language and that's why it's now universal unlike my ibo brothers who would rather blow nonsense accent than speak their language
ReplyDeleteLol, that's the truth.
DeleteYorubas are like the Mexicans. Some of them have refused to learn English even after relocating to the states.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's exactly why their culture and language is enduring and it's even taught in British schools in london. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteEven ibos will soon join in learning the language. Smh!
ReplyDeleteSoon you said? It's already been happening na go to lag and see ibos that can't speak ibo but are fluent in yoruba.
