I dare say my Yoruba is flawless, spoken/written. You see, I am excessively proud of my heritage, such as it is, I love everything Yoruba, remember, I hail from Ibadan ....' Ni ile Oluyole, ibi ti Ole ti n jare ohun olohun'......

I personally think it's sad that most children these days are denied the pride that comes with understanding the depth of ones language and wealth of their culture. They all seem to think the English Language is superior to their mother tongue. I find that attitude insufferable. As Lagbaja rightly said...'how many Oyinbo sabi your language?'. Wherever I settle in life, within or outside Nigeria, my children must not only speak Yoruba, they must also speak their father's language (he is from another part of Nigeria ) and definitely without any exagerated accent that suggests they are foreigners speaking a backward language. Lailai!

Anyways, if you promise not to cheat i.e seek help from others, let's start a proverb competition......

Pari owe yi...... afe a je ma fe a yo..........
