Etinosa1234:
To be honest, I really don't know how to speak Benin...

I stayed in Benin for 4 years with my aunt and step grandma and I had an idea of the language

My cousin who I stay with in school doesn't speak it to me regularly

The only ones my Dad taught me was "Wa re asan" and that was a long time ago

Anytime I go to my uncle's house, I go dey shame because they speak to me with Benin but I just have to nod head like a lizard to pretend as if I understand

I earnestly hope there is a program to help the young ones speak the language

I love the language and want to speak but no one to teach... Now no time to learn because of school

Its best to notify all those big Benin FB groups so that they can start sensitisation campaigns

"I earnestly hope there is a program to help the young ones speak the language"


this is my point of direction

visiting the palace during Oba Ewuare 11 early coming open my eyes to many things

as for me I will say am 75 _ 80 % good with the language even when I was visiting the palace regularly

this campaign you talk about is my best option and can even see us to fame after full consultation

it doesn't matter if you know how to speak it or not as long as am at least good with it and maybe some other people that may show interest


gregyboy it's possible all you need to do is try to observe my approach

nothing is impossible


there are millions like us who want this same thing but don't know how to start

Etinosa1234:
I believe if we organise quizzes, debates that would be done in Benin language with an exciting prize... People will encourage their children to be fluent in the language to win

also an excellent ideal


we can't continue only on web we need to go to the ground and consultation made


this will even give more advantage to who want to study the palace

Etrusen:

Yeah... Most people are not on nairaland to see the campaign..

This FB group "Great Benin emancipation" has a huge number of Benin people from all walks of life

I believe telling the moderator(I've forgotten his name) will enhance the sensitisation Esp as he also wants to make Benin great

Do they allow anyone to enter the palace..

My friend(who is Esan) believes they won't allow him because of his tribe

great Benin descendants (GBD). is the one I know about


but I think we have long pass the stage where we will just hold program once in a life time and after that the people return to their normal English life

it have to be inculcated not to this generation but the next which is the target

is Esan not part of the larger family ?


if for example we are to go we have to book space


you understand its a very high place

I meant for sight seeing

We could make the program annually... We'll need sponsors from all Benin persons in diaspora

I'm sure 70% of them will be glad to support the program

Apart from that, primary schools should encourage students to recite poems in the language

No school should ban the use of Benin language in its environment

Etinosa1234:

you must have a clear reason for coming

the last time I went there It was a ceremonial period

so everyone was allowed in

I don't think any edo in diaspora will have reason not to support the move when its properly establish


my problem now are fellow Edo's on nairaland who dont show interest even when they love the tribe


coming together can be a first step


weather Edo Esan Ora etc

Well we'll have to rally them together to show that we are serious...

If people see that the program is successful, they'll also want to take part in it

Also the prize money there is to entice people to the competition...

If it's just a random something...no one would do.it

how do you want to gather them
gregyboy you have to be part of this if you really love your tribe

I think you can be a great point to gather them together


but my problem is that people who claim to love the tribe will find a way to run away when the time to grow appear

I will be available only if there is proper funding...

I will also drop hint on how to go about this so we can atlesst have 50 percent success at first try

i dont think it will be easy to gather them from the scratch

The best thing is to meet those benin group moderators and liase with them

or better still make a post abt how the benin language is dying and ur solutions to it

Majority of the members might welcome the idea or even give better ones sef

this trend could be use to reach out to others on this particular issue



Ekpene gbo mwan amu gboto amana saba zevbuomwan


we could use this as a clarion call to all a sundry till interest is found


it will be shameful if this trend die like this

I have a vow since I was little that even if am in abroad with my kids, they will still know how to speak this our language

this trend must not die
