SeverusSnape:
Al-qaeda members are "Yeebhoes"

I'm shocked not to have seen this statement on your post.

Aareonakakanfo:
Yeah code-switching is the alternation between two or more languages

Had a lot of reading up to do..

This is where i should be & not engaging with awon ti aye n ta lori, ti o tun ko eyein si ti won wa n wa eni ti won ma fi ikanra mo.

Aareonakakanfo:
True! were it not for the kind of environment i grew up, I probably would have been speaking Yorubinglish like most Yorubas in lagos do.Yoruba language is not the only language affected though, its a global thing. Majority of the wrold-languages are being threatened by english language.I was watching that whitey Titi girl who came to naija to learn Yoruba and she complained about the prevalent code-switching

Haha! Mii si ni ile iwe oo. Ise "imon ora" ni mo n se (technology)

tonychristopher:
We are talking how to develop sw and you are saying thus...this is one reason I laugh ...maybe you should stop patronising dstv ,don't buy Toyota then don't use Nestlé and cadbury products maybe don't even patronise any non Yoruba product and then tell all the Yoruba in coscharis,shell, chevron zenith bank diamond bank and many other places to resign forth with

The way you peeps reason is so funny and thats the reason sw are been left behind

Take a look around ...instead of encouraging your people to go into SME and build small industries and focus on developing their individual states this is what you can say


Hate and tribalism kills and ithinj you should learn to compete

Unfortunately it's not working as Buhari has been ignoring them like a bad habit.

Nnamdi Kanu is going down for treason.

Aareonakakanfo:
Hahaha i have a very good friend who works in an animation studio in Kenya also but him no be CEO sha

Emilokoiyawon:
He is one of my favorites too. There is a whole archive of interviews with Yoruba actors, artists, etc.

Aareonakakanfo:
The three most underrated countries in Africa are Uganda,kenya and botswana.You need to follow the tech sector in Kenya.Its crazy, those guys will give us a good run for our money that's if their tech sector is not even bigger than ours,same with Uganda

lowgeorge:
I like these initiative... It's really burgeoning my desire for regionalism ideas in my head.... But I'm not going to be allowed in case of plagiarism cos nairaland is now a marketplace for the legendary pirate's in our midst... U guys re really doing a good job.... What we Yorubas need is the satirical spree to awaken our useless vision less leaders in all spheres of administrative affairs to enliven nd make our region an admirable and a sustaining 1....u need to see d rot of our politicians.... It's too damning.... I am of the believe that in a lawful society coupled with a strong government backup for human related developments... We Yorubas can easily dominate any field... we have expertise, experience and qualitative ideas to create leverage.. What's needed are visionaries, reasonable support, ambitious desire to develop local content, smes and the re orientation of our youths to believe in themselves cos most of them believe in a job not existing.... Take a skill with pride and look for support to upgrade your skill... The problems of we Yorubas re multi faceted but we can get it all right wth ourselves coming together for a common unselfish good...

Yoruba Keyboard Language Pack Is Now Available For Mac And Windows Users


Now this is handy.

The geniuses at Yorubaname.com have come up with a nifty little language tweak for Mac and Windows users. Users can now include tone marks and subdots in their names and sentences by installing a Yoruba keyboard language pack.

There are other solutions out there, especially on Windows, that make writing in yorùbá (see that?) a possibility but the team claim their language pack offers both layouts with very similar key combinations for consistency.

If you remember, this is the same team that brought us Twitter in yoruba. Or at least were partly responsible. Seems they have no intention of slowing down.


You can download the installation pack on their website

Emilokoiyawon:
For those who are interested (and yet to heard of it) here is a Youtube link to a TV program promoting our culture in a way and manner that is commendable at least for a start.

Aareonakakanfo:
Regarding culture, we should establish a yearly regional festival for Arts & Culture
Computer softwares exclusively for the Yoruba language and culture should be developed. Osun state's opon imo imo is laudable
The return of the Yoruba classics e.g. D.O. Fagunwa, J.F. Odunjo, Adebayo Faleti, Jeje, Akinwunmi Ishola - to mention just a few

Aareonakakanfo:
Does tinubu care about the development of Yorubaland?

Is Tinubu interested in Yoruba independence or autonomy?

Is Tinubu as powerful as the Northerners?

Has he even heard of DAWN Commission?

Aareonakakanfo:
Political Power!

Aareonakakanfo:
Reminds me of how Sharia law is being used in the North but you know what?

We're not as powerful as the North.We don't wield as much power as they do.The North can get away with whatever but can we Yorubas get away with it?

A good example is the fulani herdsmen issue, I imagine it being the other way round, trust me no single Yoruba herdsman will remain in the North after an incident such as that

MayorofLagos:
Gani Adams has repeatedly advocated this idea but we live in an era in which academic knowledge and credentials is king on our land and so if it doesn't come from a white paper written by a professor, doctor or engineer and filled with statistical data and fact based researches, then it does not qualify for adoption into policy. The first question we ask is what University did the person graduate from. Meanwhile Gani Adams had visited Switzerland or somewhere in that region and promoted Yoruba in a convincing manner that their government adopted Yoruba as a school lesson curriculum.

Can you imagine? Lol.

Aareonakakanfo:
This exactly is the reason why i'm not the biggest fan of picture posting,Its very deceitful.I can easily make Aba look like dubai with photoshop

MayorofLagos:
I love you...

Aareonakakanfo:
Hahaha these measures are too obvious and they appear too direct.


-Building shopping malls accross the south-west is a better alternative

-Generally they thrive in lawless environments, they're like mexicans so state police is also a good option

-Like i said in my previous comment,all subjects in south-west schools should be taught in Yoruba language.Anyone who's not comfortable with that can go back to his/her cave

These are the subtle measures i can think of right now

Aareonakakanfo:
But we have no choice though, as long as its still inside the same country.At the emboldened,huh! if it was that easy, it would have happened.Do you know how long we've been screaming about this?
