Yoruba Language Chosen As Second Official Language Of Benin Republic by Olu317(m): 9:09am On Jan 15, 2017
THE YORUBA LANGUAGE HAS BEEN CHOSEN AS THE SECOND OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF BENIN REPUBLIC. THIS HAS BEEN OVER DUE BECAUSE THE FORMER AND IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT OF BÉNIN REPUBLIC, YAYI HAD ONE TIME SAID THAT OVER 70%/80% OF BENINOISE/BENINOIS ARE OF IFE/YORUBA ORIGIN. THIS LATEST DEVELOPMENT WAS MADE KNOWN BY THE AMBASSADOR TO BÉNIN REPUBLIC ,IN THE PERSON OF DR. LAWRENCE OBISAKIN.... YORUBA PEOPLE, IDEOLOGY AND UNITY ON THE ETERNAL RISE. ELEDA ASEDA ELEDUMARE... ADUPE LOWO YIN FUN OUN RIBITIRIBI TI E NSE FUN AWA OMO YIN KAAKIRI ORILE AIYE. ASE

Do you even know fon or fongbe have Yoruba words inserted into their language and spoken by them with same meaning. It is basically impossible to use fon. Yoruba language is widely spoken in Bénin Republic even if some of them don't call themselves Yorubas. They are called with different names depending on their location. Ahori/Anago/yoruba. Dahomey kingdom had centuries relationship with Yoruba kingdoms. And present day Bénin Republic borders Yoruba people of Togo and of Nigeria.
