Imperial Majesty Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II , the traditional king of Ife, Nigeria was interviewed by CNN at the Black Cultural Archives, Brixton,London.

The King talked about the Yoruba culture and tradition, our stolen  artifacts, seeing Nigeria and Africa in a more positive light.He also said that he has come to connect the missing link between Africa and more.

Let me tell you a little about the English language you adore.

When two languages collide something called a creole language evolves. That's exactly how English language itself evolved!!. Pidgin English is a creole language originating from collision of European's and our languages. Today, Pidgin is a language in its own right like Jamaican Patois and many other creole languages.

For your information, Britain was also mostly colonized by Germans, French, Spaniards, Rome, within the 4th-5th century AD. During their time of slavery they also spoke a mixure of English and the other languages of their captors. But, once they regained their freedom, they banned all foreign languages in the entire British isle, and adopted their native English language (which was then 40% local and 60% foreign language) just as Pidgin is today. The year was 1362 and it was only then that English became an official language. Therefore, what we learn today as English is just a standardized creole language like Pidgin!!.

When our eyes open to our stupidity, we will ban English in our lands and pay attention to our native languages. Many Asian nations who were also colonized had already made that change, as I said earlier.

My people, open your eyes!. English was not originally an official language!!. It became an official language only in 1362!!!.

After all said and done, pidgin ENGLISH is still not our mother tongue know Nigeria.

Abandoning English because it isn't our mother tongue and adopting another variant which still isn't our mother tongue doesn't make sense to me.

Again, Pidgin is a language on its own right!. The mixtures of other languages is exactly as English is a mixture of French, Latin, Spanish, German, Greek, it's exactly the same reason you'll see mixtures of Yoruba and Bini, for instance. That doesn't mean Yoruba language is a variant of Bini language or Bini a variant of Yoruba. It's normal in the evolution of languages for such variations to occur.

Why then do you adore English; when it's also a variant of Greek, Latin, Spanish, French, Dutch? English is the most patched up language in the world with input from over six other languages!!!

My only worry is there are people in leadership position across Africa who are still locked inside the box like you. I have no idea how long before we all wake up from the matrix.

I'm sorry, but you're not making sense.

Pidgin English is the language you want Nigeria to adopt as her official language. Why?

You accuse me of adoring the English language, yet won't mind adopting a variant of it. Where's the sense in that? Or am I missing something?

Pidgin is an African creation. If you're confused about "Pidgin English" it may interest you to know "Pidgin English" is misnomer. The real name is Pidgin and like Jamaican patois it has nothing to do with English language.

You are dancing around my points.

Why should we replace English with Pidgin instead of our mother tongue?

I' am not dancing around your point, cause we're not saying the same thing.

Pidgin is just as native to us as our various mother tongues. It was not taught us by white people, rather, it was created by us!!.

Wasn't aware that he's one of your politically elected leaders or civil servant.

Yup, There we go. Every man for himself, unless he's an "elected leader" or civil servant. That ugly look on things is what makes Nigeria crap.

I don't even know where to begin educating you that you have elected representatives for a purpose.

If you haven't asked any of them what they are doing with your Commonwealth I don't see any reason why you should ask a private citizen not to talk of unelected royalty whose powers are reduced to merely cultural and ceremonial functions.

This is not America where you are supposed to ask what you can do for your country because your fvcking country has done Nothing for you. And Yes it's every man for himself.

Did he come to borrow money from your family for his travelling?

Why don't you mind your freaking business and wake us up when your own chief has enough money and clout to leave your village.

Why are you making excuses for the Ooni is he your jobless father? Because if your father had a proper job he would have been able to train you properly instead of gallivanting up and down like the Ooni
