According to Temitope Omotayo who shared the photo, the men and women pictured here are students of Yoruba language at University of Wisconsin, Madison, U.S.
"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

ReplyDeleteSay 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!
ReplyDeleteYea, 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!!
DeleteAww that's absolutely fantastic, proudly hausa,one language I enjoy speaking 247.
ReplyDeleteHmm! 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.

ReplyDeleteSo 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.
ReplyDeleteLike that
ReplyDeleteFirst, 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.

ReplyDeleteSee as dem b esp that one with gele yayaya hahaha
Yes o. That's why I wonder at people who give their children English names. Brian, Sean etc. It's called...loosing your identity
ReplyDeleteWhat makes the Yorubas so celebrated around the world, is our ability to assimilate and share our cultural pride.
DeleteAs 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.
Lol

ReplyDeleteNice one...
ReplyDeleteSooooo 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThey should also study edo language
ReplyDeleteNice..
ReplyDelete#FINEST
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.
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is... This definitely shows that the whole world will one day be united n we"r getting closer each day!
DeleteImpressed
ReplyDeleteJAO
They are planning some mischief. No be oyibo people?

ReplyDeleteThis 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.
