Supporting his stance, Fayemihun! lill wonder i became brilliant after leaving the private primary school where we were taught in english and punished for speaking vernacular to public primary school where our teachers taught us in yoruba. |

I support Fayemi in this call. I have always clamored for the introduction of my local languages as a medium for teaching people who don't understand the English language. It's not right that someone has to get acquainted with English before learning anything. 2 Likes |

On the list of stupid ideas I have seen, this one is up there. If u check am well now, none of his children are studying or studied in Nigeria. Ekiti is very good with education the last time I heard, why would he wanna change that? 2 Likes |

I find it easy to understand difficult topic when i translate the content of the topic to YORUBA.... And i noticed dat it is more time saving to read with Y0RUBA.... And the most interesting aspect is... I hardly forget wen translate a topic to Y0RUBA and Cramme or Memorize it.... I support this 100%... We just need to Loan new words and necessary Scientific Terminologies from the needed Language, and thats not a Crime... Almost all languages of the world, if not all, Loan terms or word from another Language... Already Y0RUBA is now popular in our Music Industry... Words like 0m0, Omoge, shebi, etc are now popular terms in 9ja music Industry... Dagrin, olamide and odas av prove beyond doubt that yoruba is Marketable and swit in RAPPING... Yoruba Language already have great influence on 9ja education and 9jaria students that you hardly find a student that dnt knw the meaning of OLODO, OJORO, ABI, AMEBO etc... We really nid to Yorubalize our Education in Western Nigeria... I Can't wait to see CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, BIOLOGY etc Taught in Yoruba Language... PROUDLY YORUBA |

Imagine teaching 'English language' as a subject in Yoruba.. Funny, I will say. Indigenous languages should be completely ruled-out in schools. There are better ways to encourage the use of indigenous languages in Nigeria, not in schools plsss your excellency.. My take. |

Good thing he said it should be taught in the SouthWest. Though,am not against native language(even though,I can't even speak mind),but I think it would complicate somethings. #just my thought! |

Good idea they should use yoruba to teach most especially science subject in school #just like china things#. But what about non-yoruba speaking people in SW |

abu12: Good idea they should use yoruba to teach most especially science subject in school #just like china things#. But what about non-yoruba speaking people in SWThe English schools will remain. They can just add Yoruba schools and also schools of other ethnicity in different parts of the country. |

Afam4eva: What is this one saying? How can there be separate schools for that? What I believe will work is that schools should be taught Yoruba Language just like English Language is taught in schools. There should also be a subject called Yoruba literature, just like English literature to promote the language. Pupils and Students can take part in drama sketches all in Yoruba. The subject, Yoruba Language, should also be a prerequisite or at least give some advantage in gaining admission into universities in the SW Yoruba Language is a beautiful language and is the most documented Nigerian language today with several books, audio recordings and movies etc in the language which is enough content to support the Yoruba Literature as a subject in schools 1 Like |

There are better ways to encourage the use of indigenous languages in Nigeria, not in schools plsss your excellency.. My take. Never heard anything so stupid. People who reason this way should please keep their pallid opinions away when issues of great importance are discussed. why can't English language be taught in Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa? Is any language superior to the other? Time to rid ourselves of these colonial ideas. 1 Like |

We must do something about our dying Yoruba language now. Many of our young ones showing interest can hardly get good books to teach the language. Writers in Yoruba must come out with books that will explain many of the Yoruba words, sentences and phrases of the Yoruba language. Some presenters on radio and television, theatre art practitioners should do their home work well before presentation of their programmes and films. Those who have the intention to teach our young ones should try and interpret into English some of their works so that many can understand. A book titled 'Akojopo Eedegbaaje Owe Ati Asayan Oro Yoruba (Compilation Of 13,000 Yoruba Proverbs & Wise Sayings) is a good one but requires interpretation to help its readers. Governments of the Yoruba extraction must bring the stakeholders together to look into how to really solve this problem of our dying language and culture. Language, custom and culture are very strong unifying factors all over the world. |
