@poster We accept issues like this by faith. Only the dead knows for sure. Wait till you die to find out because until then you will never know. |

dakmanzero: I'll have to disagree with you on these. Not just because I think it's not the truth, but because I know people who don't understand English but read the Yoruba language fluently. |

I stepped out of this thread b'because I really do not have a flair for arguments. But with what you just said I need to ask a question- does speaking yoruba make you tribalistic?. If were are trying to argue this way that the Yoruba language makes people tribalistic then in order to stop tribalism we have to get rid of the 250 languages spoken in Nigeria - this includes Igbo and yes Hausa which is not only spoken in Nigeria. "By the way Yoruba is not only spoken in Nigeria though it is synonymous with southwestern Nigeria. Yoruba is spoken by about 35 million speakers, primarily in Nigeria, Benin and Togo. Many Yoruba speakers today also live in such countries as Ghana and Ivory Coast. Yoruba language elements survive among many descendants of former African slave populations in the Americas in Brazil, Cuba, Puerto Rico, North Carolina, and elsewhere in the Caribbean basin." If Nigerians are not divided by tribes we will be divided by religion or by lands. Our problem is beyond the native languages we speak. Why do you consider the Yoruba language unwritten?. French and Spanish alphabets resemble the English alphabets as well. I doubt you can call those unwritten languages. |

The beauty of a culture lies in its language and the heart of a culture is it's language. You lose the language you might as well consider the culture lost. It's bad enough most of us speak broken Yoruba. We are fast losing our poetry, our incantations and our arts. By the way I never said English should not be the first language. My point is that it doesn't have to be the only language. |

theopops: That's right. And there are Americans who claim they can't understand when someone with a British accent is talking. They all still speak English but with different accents due to the region in which they grew up in.[quote][/quote] |

Ok the kids that grew up not speaking Yoruba. but grew up in Nigeria do they not end up developing regional accents?. I grew up speaking Yourba and Engliish, the guy who called me ajepaki only knows 2 yrouba words - oriope and bawoni. In the US, people who listen to both of us, to them we sound alike. We both speak with "an accent". (by the way we both pronounce the "H" something yorubas do not usually pronouce). Conscious effort on your part can reduce your regional accent or being around people that speak differently can have an effect on your accent. Your child not speaking Yoruba won't do anything for the child in as much as people around him still speak with "accent". |

Stopping your child from learning Yoruba won't stop the child from having an accent, The type of accent you develop depends on the enviroment you grow up in?. |

I remember sometimes grinding up chalks and rolling them up in a paper and pretending to smoke. Once in a while my brothers and I would roll up papers and lit them up and pretended to smoke. My mom caught us once and bit the 'devil' out of us. |
