YOU GOT THIS ADVISE FROM A MAD BATIST THAT IS WHY HE REVERTED TO THE SLAVERY ANTHEM

ShescreamEWOOO:
Yoruba is such a beautiful language honestly, as an edo man i strongly suggest we ditch our foreign imposed language and adopt yoruba as our day to day lingua franca in Nigeria

Those in support say, aye.

IFECHIGCON:
He is not bini man
He's a ewedu man like you

You don't serious Ajhe

The other day... A Russian lady was speaking Igbo and we saw phrases like "Igbo amaka" flooding the comment section...

Now it's a white lady speaking Yoruba and we are seeing all sorts of negative comments...

When will these people stop being bitter about other people and their cultures and traditions??

Must everyone be inclined to speak or do things the igbos love before they appreciate others?

U want your own country but you're busy making enemies with everyone you come across....

This is totally stupid and disgusting to say the least

EmperorCaesar:
As for the video, Its not even about an Alien speaking a Native Nigerian language, the inferiority complex isnt that deep...


My shock tho, is her accent and the fact that she didnt mix some of those words with English(wasnt expecting her to know the Yoruba words for everything she said)

She is not Alien she is Yoruba
I follow her on gram

EmperorCaesar:
I have seen 100000+ dumb comments on Nairaland, yet every single one of them seems to be more sensible than this

A very uncreative troll

. He is under the influence of Mexican weed. No mind him. Very dirt and unwise statement

No be oyinbo hin be, na afin(albino)


Oyinbo ascent no be like that.. where she see that very thick and local ascent??

SilasGreenback:
It is a deep and interesting language, but I dont know if the word 'beautiful' can appropriately be used on it. It is too masculine and rough. The other languages which are very harsh and rough sounding are Ibo and Benin. These languages sound like someone flinging heavy rocks into a quarry. In Nigeria, the only beautiful sounding language I know of is Hausa.

the only language i rate equal with yoruba in africa is swahili and igede of benue state.

The yoruba language is so beautiful, you ever wonder why before you make headway in the music industry you must use yoruba language?

Sunny okosun from my state said was making music for long without breakthrough until his kids advise him to sing in yoruba, he did and voila baba blew.

Angeligue kidgo had to sing in yoruba before she could win a grammy.

Have you heard yoruba love song, gospel songs, for real how do they make you feel?

Have you been called those sweet yoruba names?
Man, the yoruba Language is one of the most beautiful things about Nigeria.

Kindly post her Instagram handle here so that we can drill further into her background.

Except if this is a freak accident of nature... She def looks full-blooded Caucasian with her skin complexion and NOT of Yoruba descent to me (after watching that video twice).

How has speaking Yoruba or Igbo helped your life ??

So your inability to speak Chinese is the reason why your family is a failure?

Please learn Chinese on time so you can become a billionaire and change your family story

Gbegiri, like rabies, will make you speak a different tongue perfectly right before it snuffs the life out of you.

How? You sound dismissive and uninformed; no wonder Yoruba people are miles ahead.
First of all, let me educate you about food. The most significant thing you need from any food is nutrients, which provide energy and the ability to fight disease, among other benefits. The major ingredient in gbegiri is beans, which are very nutritious, along with fish, pepper, iru (locust beans), palm oil, vegetables, and more. All these ingredients are rich and essential for good health. Therefore, I don’t see any reason why eating gbegiri would be bad for anyone unless you are allergic to beans or simply don’t like the taste, which is normal with any other food or soup. It seems unreasonable to condemn such a dish without being able to explain why.

I agree, Yoruba songs do have a special ring.
But overall, that may be a factor of music and not of the language particularly.

The languange is not sonorous, it does not slow in a delicate lyrical way the way some languages do, such as French, Fante, Hausa, and even the Swahili you mentioned.

Nope, I speak only Igbo fluently. It has helped me travel across Anambra through Enugu without restriction.
Congratulations on your speaking Chinese fluently, I know it has sincerely opened doors for you and made you the living legend

This one don get tap root for Nigeria.

Watch the video closely again. She's NOT a mixed race... She's a full-blooded Caucasian with the classic White skin complexion and not the caramel complexion that mixed race folks have. I'd recommend you take more carrot juice and cod liver oil daily for "sexy" telescopic eye sight. *Smirk*

On the other hand, I've seen many online videos of a lot of White folks and non-Whites speaking fluent Yoruba language (without mixing with English) in a lot of countries around the world from Cuba, Brazil, the United States, the UK, Canada, Portugal, Nigeria (those Americans who came to learn further immersion Yoruba from Nigerian Unis in Ibadan and Ile Ife as part of their American University's Yoruba language graduation requirements).

It's speaks of the FACT that the Yoruba language, religion and culture is recognized and respected in the international language and culture ecosystem because of the contributions of the Yoruba Diasporan communities due to the deportations on slave schooners during the trans-Atlantic slave trade especially from the early 1800s to Cuba, Brazil, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, etc, and the relatively more recent Diasporan Yoruba population centers (from the late 1890s) in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Sierra Leone, etc.

Are you being for real right now? So all mixed race people are caramel complexioned?

Going by your logic, Blake Griffin isn't mixed because his skin is pale.

Nigerians do this all the time and it's annoying, they even label some Asians as "oyinbo"

Interesting insights.

I'm not fluent in Edo languages but I can pick out the meaning of some words. I find many Benin-Edo and Esan-Edo songs to be very melodious like the one from Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata right BELOW.

Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata Song

You're right though about the FACT that iconic musicians such as the Sonny Okosuns who is an Esan-Edo gained even more followers by singing fluently in Nigerian languages such as Yoruba and adding English and pidgin English right into the mix. Sonny Okosuns' "Tire ni Oluwa" song right BELOW has a good rhythm. We saw this happen to Fela Anikulapo-Kuti as well with his mix of Yoruba, English, and Pidgin English. The iconic Christie Essien-Igbokwe who is originally an Ibibio woman from Akwa Ibom gained music accendancy with her evergreen blockbuster "Seun Rere" song [from the monster hit album: "Ever Liked My Person?"] which we used to listen to from the early 1980s (1981).

Angelique Kidjo's father is a Fon from Benin Republic but her mother is however a Yoruba woman (I don't know if she's a Yoruba from Nigeria OR the Yoruba-speaking part of Benin Republic) and Angelique in several interviews did say that she partly grew up in Nigeria, so, she was bound to sing a lot of Grammy-nominated songs in Yoruba anyway.

this is very good I'm proud of her and my Yoruba brothers
