I can understand us trying to promote our language, but I don't understand why it must be made compulsory

Kids who are raised by Nigerian parents in Nigeria and yet were bought up speaking nonsense english happens to fail english most.

I can't imagine Yoruba being taught in Canada by white men while our kids grow up here without the knowledge

Stop giving away your culture all in the name of being western. If the whites gave away their English, you won't be here trying so hard to converse with it.

That's why the Asian is always the best in what they do even in universities, they will never trade their language for any studies.

Preach it!

You’re getting the instruction from a reporter, Fayemi didn’t put it on nairaland himself

Ekiti state governor, Kayode Fayemi, has banned the use of English language as a means of communication during any traditional function in any part of the state. He gave the directive during the First Ekiti State Arts and Culture Stakeholders’ Forum today August 19th.

Represented at the occasion by the Head of Service, Deji Ajayi, the governor said any traditional function in the state must be done speaking only traditional language.

“From today, henceforth, the government has banned the speaking of English in any cultural programme. Whoever that will participate in any traditional programme must speak Yoruba or our dialect. We are going to organise Ekiti State Festival of Arts and Culture in December this year to enhance our capacities in crafts, dancing, weaving and other vocational areas of arts.

“We should not forget to teach our children those values that will make Ekiti to remember their heritage and sustain our culture as people” he said

Absolutely spot on Governor Fayemi got this right this time. I hope other south west governor will follow sooth and organise Yoruba language at all levels in South West. It is high time we "gbe oun a ni laruge" because without us no one else will.

Attending traditional functions will be a lot fun these days.

What could be more fun than watching this fluent English speakers blab while trying to speak their own tongue?

Mixing the both language is insanely way out -- but what a shame.
Re: Governor Fayemi bans use of English Language during traditional events by 1forall: 8:11am On Aug 20, 2019
This move looks to be a disservice to non-Yoruba/dialect speakers that attend such traditional events or watch the video recordings. That is the reason why Nigeria's official language is English.

But overall, I believe the good people of Ekiti have more pressing problems than the language spoken at events. And I think Mr second-term Governor should focus on tangible stuff and not just play to the gallery.

How? Pls is English your language? And Ihedioha of Imo English hate by making Igbo a compoulsiry subject in all schools in Imo bah

Pls with all English you have be spoken to what good has it done in your life? Many Arabian nation and some country around the world are colonized by either France or England many of those countries refused till date to use English as their official language so what is your argument

Today same Yoruba you claimed hate English still produced the highest numbers of Professors in Nigeria, in Africa and in any nlack nation around the world if I'm wrong proof me wrong with your facts.

Bro pls don't bring tribal nonsense here this morning with your education slavery mentally ok.

I support Fayemi 100%.
