No More English, Yoruba Is Now Lingua Franca In My House – Sound Sultan by ValidUpdates(m): 7:29am On Nov 09, 2019
Nigerian music star, Sound Sultan whose real name is Olanrewaju Fasasi shared a post on his social media page about the new rule he just mapped out for his family.

According to Plateau State born, he just realized while he was fulfilling the big dream of bringing his kids a “aje butters” who speak fluent English, he’s fallen short of upholding his duties in passing down the culture through the language of his mother tongue – Yoruba.

In view of that, the music star, who is married to his wife, Chichi Morah now Farida Fasasi for 10 years said henceforth, the lingua franca in his home will be Yoruba, no more English.

He wrote;

“I JUST REALISED WHILE I WAS FULFILLING THIS BIG DREAM OF BRINGING MY KIDS UP AS AJE BUTTERS WHO SPEAK FLUENT ENGLISH, I HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF UPHOLDING MY DUTIES IN PASSING DOWN THE CULTURE THROUGH THE LANGUAGE OF YORUBA… yoruba is now the lingua franca in my house.”

It's better to teach kids their native language while they're young.

I'd have been excellent at Mathematics if I was taught in Yòrùbá, my first language. I never needed dictionary to define any Yòrùbá word because the words are self explanatory, all I needed to do was break it down.

Being taught in English language is the reason many students look like dunce or unintelligent, if every Nigerian local government and states can start teaching their kids in local dialect, their Intelligent Quotient will be fully developed.
Fela Kuti also kind of noticed this, whoever has listen attentively to Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense will understand this:
Most developed nations in the world stay true to their mother tongue and cultural values.

We need to start doing away with English language in teaching many subjects in school.

U should have married a Yoruba woman.


A son of the soil, would have done such, to show his commitment to his culture and people.


I married my Igbo sister, would not have it any other way, as a very proud Igbo man.


U go carry Chioma dey call am Farida.


Now, no more English, it is Yoruba.


Even the house Chioma came from, it is not like that they speak Igbo all through without English. Otherwise, u for no marry am, becos of communication barrier.


Everything about Yoruba muslim sucks and stinks of Jihad.


May u find peace soon, IN jESUS NAME
