I know of some family here in Lagos that have warned their children not to speak Yoruba at home. Can you imagine that? I could remember those days in primary school when you will be penalized for speaking "vernacular". Very ridiculous. I am proud of my mother tongue anywhere and anyday.Omo ale ni o ma fi owo osi juwe ile baba re( It is only a bastard that will use his left hand to describe his father's house).

very worrisome,

some people even think not understanding yoruba makes you better than others.

Most people like the uncle you mentioned there would stop their kids from speaking it as if that would make them dull
One thing this people don't know is that they are neggligible and the yoruba race will still strive without them anyway.
