Factfinder1: What are royalties on the books he authored for? What is average life to you and why can't his parents support themselves in their old age from their own savings from what they earned while active? I am almost certain that you are not looking forward to relying on your children sustaining an average life for you in old age or are you? Should his family not be using the money to have a Foundation that endows a professorial chair to continue research into Fagunwa's works and create more awareness about his legendary talent www.nairaland.com/attachments/2855404_fbimg1442168436118_jpeg3abf4555427b1803302e6b4f3ffbbb15 1 Like |

Samanza89: ....and how that take concern you. The fact that they use yoruba to explain English point to one fact that English may be used widely, but unfortunately it cannot in anyway compare in depth, meaning and substance to Yoruba Language. Take your myopic criticism else where one only wanders why you with colonial mentality always have nightmares whenever Yorubas are doing things for themselves and progressing. Who cares about fluency in english? Ede abinibi lo jowalogun, joo sun fun wa.(please interprete in English if you can I have said my own). 1 Like |

spytime: My brother am still wondering how you came about your comparism. For example China has a universal language, hitherto every citizen of China understands it. Will you compare that to Nigeria where we have diverse dialects, and we all know that English is our Linqua franca. So if am from the Igbo tribe in Nigeria I can't study in a Yoruba speaking tribe because the make use of their dialect to tutor students there?... That can't work here bro!... |

Samanza89:That state U guys did your youth produced the highest number of Professors in Nigeria. You can't just use a particular place as yardstick for the tribe. I served in Abia Ngwa precisely omo dem local for there on. But I can't use that as yardstick for all igbos 4 Likes 1 Share |

harffie: Oh, I was a voracious reader as a kid. I read everything readable. I even started reading M&B books from primary 3. They were romance books, but not graphic ones. Now I can't stand reading romance novels again. I usually went to the book shop myself to go and buy story books after harassing my folks for money. I read all of Enid blyton books. So many books.... My school also had nice books then, and as pupils, we used to exchange personal story books It took me a long time to finish the Yoruba book. That was the only one I read as a child, and probably till date. It was too draining. Of course I didn't know about the Ami ohun stuff, and just read the book like English, and only made sense out of it by applying common sense. A times, I went to my dad for some of the interpretations of the words I couldn't decipher. I just couldn't drop the book. |

Rashdimuh: Well, let's be honest though. The standard of education has dropped in our schools. I will talk about schools in the SW. Things are really bad now. The state govts need to sit up, and stop living on past glory. They probably don't care since their own children are going to the best schools anyway |

Samanza89:Its not an issue particular to one region. I served in Anambra and noticed the same thing too. And it happens in the North too. I think something should be done to address such issues. |
