Either way will still get the required effect.
For instance, from PENDO you can get PENDODO or even PENDOBO. If you stretch it you can get PENDOBOSKI. There are many ways to skin a cat.

PENDU is nice though.

There is a movement that keeps advocating teaching in Yoruba. It goes right back to tai solarin who really believed in it. There is an excerpt from one of his Books where a kid was having trouble comprehending angles and then the teacher explained in Yoruba and it worked. I have also brushed against this with classmates even once in a car on a journey with a lecturer. I shut that down very quickly by pointing out that we don't have written language to start with, we are using English characters to attempt to represent our language.

The highlighted is wrong. I wish one of your listeners knew that.

The Yoruba language, just like the English language and many other languages in Europe and around the world, uses the Roman alphabets (also Latin alphabets).

Here's a history of the Roman alphabets: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Latin-alphabet

The English alphabets were developed from Old Latin, the language of the Roman Empire that had colonized Britain in the past.

When the British were wise and strong enough to break free from the Roman colonial rule, they translated many of the scientific papers and concepts to English language.

You can't invent things using the current model (Western education) in Nigerian schools, where STEM is taught in English.

If the Yoruba region would develop in the future, Yorubas would still need to domesticate science and teach it in the mother tongue, just like many advanced countries of the world today had done in the past.

It's a no-brainer really.

It's because most are still enslaved that's why people would even contest these points. Most Yorubas see English as the primary language and Yoruba as secondary.

But a good son of the soil shouldn't rate a foreign language, no matter its level of acceptance and popularity, above his own language.

The English don't do it; the French don't do it; the Chinese don't do it; the Arabs don't do it; and many peoples in advanced societies don't downgrade their indigenous culture for a foreign one.

But it's always the Africans: They despise their roots and cultures and celebrate foreign ones.

Right now, the Christians and the Muslims are making a noise in the churches and the mosques celebrating the culture of Israelites and Arabs respectively, but demonize their own culture.

It's no wonder the continent contributes next to nothing in world's development.

The way forward to develop science in Yorubaland is to incorporate the teaching of STEM in Yoruba, along with teaching it in English (not only Yoruba).

What any reasonable Yoruba should be advocating is restructuring (regional government) or breakup to form Yoruba nation if restructuring isn't given a chance.

Anyone sincere person who knows the history of how Nigeria was set up by GB understands the fact that Nigeria can't work under the current faulty setup.

The various tribes, who don't love one another and have little in common, were forced together into an unholy union by the Britons.

Restructuring or Yorexit

How is the Yoruba language developed from roman characters or Latin characters when we never met the Romans?

Or maybe Samuel ajayi crowther went back in time when he translated the Bible into Yoruba?

The roman empire collapsed, knowledge was lost and the world went into a dark age

So I have to wonder where your the English got their knowledge from roman texts etal comes from

This is more of same pseudo intellectual pan africanist story you were touting last week

Maybe next you will tell us isaac Newton, charles Babbage, Micheal farady and Co also cribbed ancient roman texts

[color=royalblue]It didn't have anything to do with Nihilist?

See his reply to a harmless quote.

If i reply you with half of this, i can imagine the hurtful names you'll say.

We can deceive ourselves that he wasn't shading Nihilist. It would make the thread much fun[/color]

I'm about to take my son to boxing gym right now.
We are good over here.

Instead of wondering about who is handling me off Nairaland, you should be wondering about your poor mother walking around barefoot in the uncompleted building you call a home

What if a nail pierces her foot, she could get tetanus and die bro.

And what the hell are you feeding that dog there? How won't it die.

Bruh, why don't you take sone time to figure out a strategy to actually....live long first. Leave prospering for now.

I couldn't be me sha. Tufia!!!
