Op, sorry but you haven't done justice to this article at all. Why not start with African countries beside Nigeria that have indigenous Yoruba speakers before leaving the shores of Africa and arrange them well so that the thread can be front page worthy. There are even Yoruba settlements in the United States. You mentioned Bahia, a state in Brazil after already mentioning Brazil. You killed the potential of this article and I was so looking forward to learning here. 9 Likes 2 Shares |
