Slave behaviour as usual...Inferiority complex at its peak

Go kee yaself faggie with your master behavior ijiot

What have you achieved with black mentality??

Dis one no be oyinbo now. Na albino from awka

SilasGreenback:
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.

i am currently writing from kaduna, a core hausa speaking state, i will be in benin tomorrow.
I have lived in hausa land for four years accumulatively, i have lived in togo for 1 year, aseghame, i have done a session in a tazania university, ghana is my second home, i have spent approx 4 years between kasoa, tema, dodowa, splintex, as i am writing you now i have a running house rent in kasoa, jehova witness junction, my landlord in dodowa is an akan man, the akans speaks fante. i am not new to any of the listed languages above.

Yoruba is, in fact, the most sonorous language due to its tonal structure, which includes high, mid, and low tones that contribute to its melodic quality.
This tonal variation allows for a unique rhythmic and lyrical richness that distinguishes it from other languages. Moreover, the cultural context of Yoruba music and poetry showcases intricate linguistic patterns and rhythms, you ever wonder why these three types of music like afro beat, juju and apala originated from yoruba? Its because of its high tonal variations. Yoruba has influenced various musical styles worldwide, highlighting its versatility.

World wide, one of fhe only language that features rich storytelling and deep cultural references, creating an auditory experience that is both beautiful and meaningful is YORUBA.

I am esan man but i have to give it to them.

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

FINISHING

I think she's mixed race or just light skined close to albino cos that accent is to strong and thick. kilode

Interesting insights.

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

You're right though about the FACT that iconic musicians such as the Sunny Okosun 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. 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 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.

you sabi.
Okosun and i are from the same local govt area, esan central lga. Greetings.

The power of Artificial intelligence.

Show us i different videos of her speaking.



Besides, what is the big deal? Some of us can speak chinese, German, Spanish, Portuguese and polish fluently.

At least I am proud of who I am and I know I can make meaning impact to humanity even though I am whatever skin colour you want to call it.
Mind you, I am more smarter than majority of the people you are ass licking
Now go back and change the diaper of your master, you degenerate pipsqueak.
Spits!

She even got the Nigerian accent, I believe she must have lived in Nigeria to acquire the accent.

Whats davido and fela been singing in igala?

ShescreamEWOOO:
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.

She looks like a biracial person that grew up in Nigeria.

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.

I agree.

Chetas81:
blogger rest

Shay you go dey feed me if i rest?

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)

Her accent is perfect. There is no single trace of "foreign-ness" in it

officialwdhtv:
I dont think so...she looks like she lived in Nigeria at some point though

She is mixed race.

ShescreamEWOOO:

Okosun and i are from the same local govt area, esan central lga. Greetings.

Oh wow, the same Esan Central LGA, that's nice to know. Sonny Okosuns' "Fire in Soweto" is one of my best tracks as well from the 1980s. I travel a lot internationally and I have a multicultural outlook to life. This is why I gravitate towards learning more about other folks and their cultures. Esan folks are indeed some of the best folks I've related with in life and I noticed that some tend to marry Yorubas without having any cultural inhibitions, especially those who grew up in Yorubaland. I added Sonny Okosuns' "Tire ni Oluwa" to my original post after you had posted your reply. You can check it up again.

Cheers.

Please do, I appreciate the feedback. If I can get her real names then that'll settle the issue surrounding her paternal and maternal ancestry.

Rubbish language


I rather learn chinese that has a lot of benefits than Yoruba



How has speaking Yoruba or Igbo helped your life ??

Speaking Yoruba has turned my life around for good. I take it online and I earn a lot.

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

She's not oyinbo, she has said this several times on her TikTok. Nah Yoruba she be.

That yeye language that sounds so loud as if those speaking it are quarelling?
It's too noisy and high-sounding to even be regarded as a language
That rubbish shouldn't be spoken in public, abeg.

I dare you to eat gbegiri live on Nairaland and return to tell the tale. I triple dare you.
