CartelKenneth:



Is it our fault that we were colonized by the British and Portuguese? Or did we ask God to colonize us

That does not meanwe should abandon our native tongue. Should we colonise ourselves by jettisoning our languages? If they teach Yoruba in America and Britain we should appreciate our cultural heritage!

cocolacec:

Only someone with a slave mentality think like this.You can tell all European nations to adopt English as their lingua franca.Adopting a foreign language as your own is nothing but slavery ,it means your ancestors meant nothing to You.You want English so your slave master can always hear your secrets.
A Swede once told me the best gift you can give your is your language.

You and your ilks keep deceiving yourselves by refusing a sound reasoning and conclusion to "slave mentality". Nobody wants to think outside the box without the "slave mentality" as a label..

It's quite unfortunate that our ancestors lost (regrettably) to the British. However, we have to accept the war effect of win and loss. How long shall we continue to dwell in the past, huh? The Igbos still blame Nigeria till date due to the civil war, while we collectively blame the British for our woes after their expedition across Africa, centuries ago..

Even your kings have moved on by paying several visits and diplomatically engaging the Caucasians both home and away..

By the way, I hope you're in Nigeria (your hometown preferably), otherwise, you're being hypocritical and not serious about what you're trying to say...

Here in USA, people are wishing they can speak other languages apart from English and wish to be like us that can speak multiple languages

You are in the US?

You can't blame her... It's like trying to ask davido what its like in the streets.

bigpriik:
she shouldnt worry yoruba language will soon go into extinction in less than 200 years.

Lol. Only if you know how many Yorubas that don't finish ordinary primary school. And there's no second language (like pidgin English) in Yoruba land except for Lagos state.
Even many that still manage to finish secondary schools can't speak English language or pidgin English, na Yoruba language pulaa! . Extinction my ass

Obakoolex:

Oh I forgot! It's your fore fathers that owns Lagos. Beta keep kwayet kid.

You guys are lucky there are not many people like me in Nigeria. Because by the time, I teach you guys bitter lessons including MC Oluomo, you won’t have mouth to say Lagos belongs to Yoruba. Any Nigerian can settle anywhere and vote according to their conscience. No fool can tell them they don’t have rights in any part of the country.

YoungLionken:
She's damn right..

In addition, that's why there's tribalism every where in the country. The British defeated us and gave us a unified language (which is even an advantage because it is fast becoming a global language, the Chinese, Russians, Indians, Koreans, etc want to learn it and their younger generations are all into it). So, let's move on with it and focus on other areas that are far more challenging than this...

English is already one of the global languages and the only true global Lingua Franca.

Pristine664:


Envy and jealousy has already rendered you guys mentally invalid. 😂

Is "NIGERIA" a Nigerian language?

Is "DELTA" the language of any tribe in Delta?? 😂

Why will I be envying what belongs to me? Lagos belongs to me and every Nigerian. I can come to Ibadan and stay and do as I please within the laws of the state. No fool can tell me to leave any part of Nigeria.

Some of us can't speak our mother tongue fluently , when you see us listening while you talk , it is our scope to avoid talking...at least she is trying, speaking her mother tongue proudly and globally .

Obakoolex:

Oh I forgot! It's your fore fathers that owns Lagos. Beta keep kwayet kid.

My grandfather owned Lagos although he was born before Nigeria was created. Every Nigerian owns Lagos. If you doubt it, force people from other regions to stop coming to Lagos. It is because the government allowed MC Oluomo and the Oba of Lagos to get away with their empty threats. That is the reason why you guys are emboldened to come online to tell us Lagos belongs to Yoruba.

She's actually of mixed race hence the skin colour and hair texture. Even though she added some finishing touches to make the skin glow and hair shine.

Then this explains her comment about Yoruba language then.
If she want to speak English she should move to England

Yet you shamelessly adopt Lagos as part of your name, even tho we have no idiot as Lagospikin talkless of first son

Don’t mind them ,,, they will leave their lands and come look for greener pastures in Lagos SW but still hate on we OMOLUABI’s 😏😏

You won't be displaying so much anger if you are sure Lagos belongs to you. There is a inner voice telling you the truth and making you regret where your parents came from.

Just ignore her. She is one of them the confused, no identity obidients, so don't be too surprise.

She is one of the advocate Lagos is no man's land crooner.

Aduuni go and speak the English no one forced Yoruba on you.

Interesting. She probably is not a good speaker.

The ancients used to talk about a poetic language, in which a word can be used to rhyme in different styles ( Terrence McKenna).
The language that comes close is the Yoruba language.


Our plans to keep it alive and well for the next 1000 yrs will succeed; because it is a beautiful language, the language of poets, Aṣẹ.

If you don't know, every household in Yorubaland has an oriki ( poetry) ; simply showing that the ancient Yorubas were a poetic PPL. It's a beautiful language.

Your argument is wrong.
You want to erase the identity of 60 million people because you want to eradicate tribalism?
This is not possible, segregation does not appear by language alone. USA speak the same language and there is still division among them even the division that is not about race.
99 percent of Rwanda speak Kinyarwanda, and yet they are the symbol of modern day tribal conflict.

The British might have colonized us in the past, but we were not successfully conquered. Today we rule ourselves and we own our lands.
The only relationship we have with the British today is diplomatic and its not that of conquered and conquerors.
If you want to see conquered people go to Australia or USA.

Our ancestors successfully chased the British away. It's up to us to uphold their victory.

Don't listen to many of these so called celebrities or their children, a lot of them are not Nigerians even children of politicians.
Although they enjoy the largesse their status, social and political situation in Nigeria provide them. They don't enjoy being Nigerian and our culture, it's strange to them.
They grew up in Europe, USA, etc and they are registered citizens there. Racism has also ensured to make them believe the European culture is the supreme.
So they will surely hate us and our culture. It's the effect of the system of racism they grew up and identified with.

Our strongest asset is our language and identity it will be very very foolish for us to throw it away.
For goodness sake even the people enslaved to the America's fought to keep their identity and culture. Many are still trying to learn about their origin and culture till today.

About these traditional rulers, please forget about these people. These people are only looking for what to eat. They are not the real owner of these crowns and the land. The real owners of these crown were sent to exile during colonization.
And the colonizers ensure they(exiled monarchs) won't pass their values and way of life to their offspring that may inherit them.

She bleached? Biracial people bleach?

airsaylongcome:


She bleached? Biracial people bleach?

I didn't know she is biracial, but if she is biracial then yes my argument is correct. She needs to shut up and not comment about the culture she is not part of any more.
If she like English so much, she should move to England

Inosky:
I like all Nigerian languages, but Yoruba language requires energy for someone to make sense of what you're saying. Igbo language is so romantic in my ear, while Hausa language is so fierce.
Urhobo is mild to my ear.
Nigeria has quite a lot of languages I have never heard though.

Urhobo mild? I'm an Urhobo and a proud one..but Urhobo is tough man. The dialects close to the Ijaws is pure "madness". Udu and Ughievwen. I understand both but it's still hilarious listening to them speak.
