"So if you are still ashamed of your culture and you feel reluctant to speak your language with your children then na you know o. If we don't teach our children our language. I am sure these new set of people who are passionate about learning the language will teach them. I am referring to Hausa, Yoruba Igbo, Swahili & other African languages" he said

Say what? Is she ok? Come to Nigerian schools and see Nigerians studying Nigerian languages,there's something called linguistics in our schools, abegi,in a bid to sound patriotic and modern, at least don't be misinformed!
Aww that's absolutely fantastic, proudly hausa,one language I enjoy speaking 247.
Hmm! This is interesting. They are even wearing Yoruba attire. I can't think of anything sexier than having a romantic conversation with a beautiful white girl in Yoruba. lol! But really, a lot of white people are fascinated by African languages and cultures.
Do You Have Problems Lasting Long in Bed?
Nice.
PEPSI ADDICT

...merited happiness
That's powerful
Whoa! Dats beautiful. Linda take note!
I dont know why we black people feel aww whenever we see oyibo people doing "nonoyibo" things. We look at this people like they are god. When do we see oyibo go "aww" when black people speak their language, eat their food, wear their clothes?
...white students? What about 'these students' ?
Linda and colour inferiority!
Linda your sister is funny oh just cause I roasted her she blocked me
GOD_WINZY. CHILDISH
Beautiful
They will never speak it like the yorubas.. Their accent will be the biggest impediment. At least we go beta pass dem for our tin
Some retarded parents does that avoid their children speaking their native language by calling it vernacular. Fela the legendary has spoken on this year bck. "How many oyinbo sabi ur tongue de way u sabi oyinbo" .Be proud of your mother tongue .#egba bawa#

No body is ashamed of his or her tribe?how will hausas be proud of there tribe when there tribe are all pedophiles and terrorist why yorubas are witches and wizard and bleaching bitches.
Linda post my angelic comment
#sad indeed
Pls, are they dwarfs?
They use them in ambassies and airports to interview all these Yoruba people that can not speak English well in abroad, they have other dialects too
White ppl can study anything and still be employed in the labour market.

Enugu's second shoe designer
Lovely
Our local language and even our culture are really a big deal aboard. It's unfortunate our local languages are slowing fading out because of our attitude and i just hope and pray that in the future it won't be the white that would treat our children our language and culture
Impressive. Thumb up to them.

Wow.... dis is touching
Am proud of my language,just imagine Yoruba language is now popular all over the world
Proud of my culture
So what. We live in a borderless world. I guess this is another example of how something black is special because it's blessed by whites. People should value their indigenous languages whether or not white people speak it.
Like that
First, it was among the second language you got to learn if you wanna join UK police, Now it is a course learned by the white in one of American University.
Yoruba keeps going places and haters are hating.
They're studying Yoruba as an international language Linda; Allow us study English, French, Italian etc as our own international language too

What makes the Yorubas so celebrated around the world, is our ability to assimilate and share our cultural pride.
As an ancient people, or rich culture has long fascinated the world. We have grace, class and a strong identity.
Yoruba is not just an ethnicity, it's a way of life. The Igbos will never know, nor have this.
So proud...
Lol for dose of u wondering why dey study yoruba.. Dey study so dey can catch nigerian gangs or intelligence agency in dere airports nd country who communicate with yoruba. Lol no b today yarnsh dey back
lolzzzz
Moye says so via BB Passport courtesy LIB....
Nice one...
Funny!
Funny!
Sooooo proud of them. Now they know how difficult it is for me (Nigerian) to learn the English language and also comprehend my various undergrad subjects (science and all) in English language.
I go to this school. We have the largest African Studies program in the US and one of the biggest scholars of Yoruba was a professor here.
They should also study edo language
Nice..

The simple truth is that every where in the world, people are learning the popular Nigerian languages to be able to understand when people from the country communicate because of terrorism. A lot of European countries like Uk and Germany are already into this. It is not only Nigeria but places where terrorism has reared it ugly head. Let's not critize or rejoice that countries or people are studying our language, they do have a plan.
See rhymes!!! I wan touch too.
Impressed
JAO
Whatever it is... This definitely shows that the whole world will one day be united n we"r getting closer each day!
Lol
Lyk seriously

Yea, we have Linguistics in our schls and am a graduate of Linguistics n Nigeria languages but guess what, Base on research, Nigeria languages especially yoruba is gradually going into extinction and what this writer said is true, in few years to come, there is 80% assurance dt this ppl will be the ones teaching our kids yet unborn their mother tongue...go to Linguistics department of university of Ibadan n see the number of foreigners studying our indigenous languages..moral of d story: we should not forget our root all in d name of civilisation n modernisation. Cheers!!
They are planning some mischief. No be oyibo people?
U are such a big goat. Bitterness will soon kill u. Idiot

well said, O ya freeborn go die
Its wonderful
This is how foreign countries infiltrate in to Nigeria. With ignorance we see whit people and assume they wouldn't understand the language. Meanwhile as you queue at the airport or while being interviewed by a government official they can translate and catch you out.
