Yorùbá: The Substance of an Overlooked Cultural Heritage
Many would like to hide under the auspices of some not well decoded tongues in order to shy away from what is absolutely theirs. My people prefer to hide under the shadows of other languages at the detriment of their own. Why should we, ọmọ tí ìyá bí tó sì fi ọ̀já àrán pọ̀n behave in such disillusioned manner? A question that keeps me pondering about how we, a true tribe of a native origin, after being plundered by another tongue so uncultured and uncouth would succumb and condescend so low to have swallowed what was implanted in us through their campaigns of calumny hook, line and sinker……Ó mà se ò!
Àánú se mí, agara sì dá mi, for us to continue living this way while we all bask in the adulations of our arch enemies whose intermittent smiles drove us down to the level we are in.
It is high time we made some consequential moves to put a STOP to the derailment of our cultural heritage. This is not unconnected with our individual actions starting from you reading this post.
