Yorùbá Language (Spoken and Written): A Must for all Yorùbá Homes

 I just laugh at our generation these days, many of us speak Yoruba to each other day in day out, but when you send a simple message in Yorùbá, we can't read it. We've been so blinded by western civilization and religion that we treat our language as trash, we forget the adage that says "Bonigba ba ti pe igba e, laraye o ba pe e". It's so funny how a Yorùbá family nowadays can hardly speak Yorùbá, our own language is now regarded as "VERNACULAR" even in our homes. Parents are ready to spend thousands on their wards just for them to be sound inEnglish but won't allow them to master their Mother Language which they can learn unconsciously. The most painful thing is majority of people are only good at the oral (speaking) of English, give them a pen and paper and see the blunder they commit even after spending a watering amount in learning it, many can't even write out the word they speak out correctly, I've seen many of them back at college and University. 

We always say the Hausas are united unlike other tribes but we never pay attention to notice that their Language is part of what unite them. You walked into any office they occupy, they speak their language to each other and quickly help each other out but reverse is the case in ours, don't ever try to speak Yorùbá in an office occupy by a Yorùbá man even if he has a Big Trademark(TRIBALMARKS) on his cheeks unless you want your case or file to be delay. We see those that speak our Language uncivilized and unexposed even when he has travelled wide and far with the highest qualifications of education. You try engage people in Yorùbá language, it won't take long before you realize they don't have interest in whatever you are trying to pass across, no matter what just because of the Language you're using in conveying the message.

Language is part of what that makes a man, that's why when God created Adam he gave him a language and the messenger he send to each tribe use their language to preach to the people not otherwise. I don't see a reason why our Language can't be use to admonish ourselves, we shouldn't let religion blind us that you want to pray to your lord and you can't express yourself in Yorùbá (I'm not saying praying in other languages is wrong, especially in Obligatory Prayers) but when you are seeking (personal), it's better you pray using your mother tongue. Just like as Muslims and Christians, we strive hard to know the basics of our religion even though not all of us are masters or major (studied) in it, we should all try to know the rudiments of our language, culture and customs. You don't have to study Yoruba before you're able to express yourself fluently in it afterall you don't study Arabic or Tongue Speaking before you can use it to pray. You don't have to study Yoruba before you know your eulogy and that of your family. Just like you are not an Israelite or an Arab before you know the laws guiding your religion, you should try and know the taboos (EEWO) of your community, know the "does and don't".

"Omo ale eeyan na n ki loriki ile baba re, tori e ko ni wu" there is a connection between your spirits and your language, there is no way you will be praise or eulogize in your language that you won't be happy, our mothers make use of this in the olden days to sooth our fathers heart and make them grant their wish, our father use it to praise their wives whenever they make them happy. Nowadays, hardly will you see a house where they make use of such again, when they've tried to even do that to us, we tell them "we've disengage ourselves from such lineage and forefathers they are praising us with because we don't know the curse on them, so we won't want it to be us, we are very happy to announce to the world "we are now child of Christ and Muhammad" or that our Imam or Daddy G.O, we forget the two Prophets never disengage themselves from their family despite that many of them were idol worshippers before and even after they were prophets. *My Knight in shinning armour* the only line women of nowadays knows how to use in praising a man,  please what happened to "omo ikoyii eso, omo olofa mojo,, omo oko irese, omo Ajana bogun bolu..." You think I will teach you? No, Listen to radio, read Yoruba novels, watch Yoruba films and learn. OH! let me ask you, have you ever praise your boyfriend/husband in English and he succumb. Oh😮 Someone said we now live a life of deceit and fake, so he might but it doesn't really convince him

Just like we master the quotes of Aristotle and others which only applies in few of our daily activities, why can't we quote Yoruba proverbs too that applies in everyday of life and activities. There are millions of Yorùbá proverbs and adage that suite every situation and topic of discussion. In as much as we can listen and sing Justin Biebier, Ed Sheeran, Celine Don songs and others, then what happened to Ayinla Omowura, Haruna Ishola, Olatunji Yussuf and Co? You can wear skirt and blouse with top, also trousers, shirts are your favorite but you feeling ashamed to tye wrapper, yeri, beti, sanyan, alaari, you don't have a single native wear, oh you think it makes you look awful, let be deceiving Ourselves. We copy Oyinbo white wedding and divorce 1-2 years after meanwhile Yorùbá Traditional wedding is there where they use local materials to pray for you in deep Yorùbá language but we see it as primitive acts. American films and fiction is our favorite, please what happened to Classic Yoruba movies. Unless we all stop this fake life and deceit, wake up and prioritise what's ours (our language, culture and customs) We will still remain a slave (called it a modern one if you like) slave is slave. It's high time we woke up from our slumbers and be proud of Yorùbá language for it not to go into extinction.

YOUR PHONE IS NOT JUST FOR SOCIAL NETWORKING

To All Kishi Youths, Graduates, Undergraduates and others, kindly read and learn.

“Ẹ pẹ̀lẹ́ ẹ̀yin tí ẹ mọ gbogbo ẹ ṣe, ní ó jẹ kí ẹ rí iṣẹ́ láti ọjọ́ yìí” or “Ṣe Internet ní ó fúnmi l'óúnjẹ́ ni”

The above👆or more hurtful statement is an example of what you hear when you try to correct an average graduate's 🎓/Students  in Kishi about the use of internet or a notion (which is actually true especially when you've not secure a job). As hurtful as those statements were, we can't be blind by the hurtness that we won't be able to address issues affecting a fellow Kinsmen and women,  as Yoruba adage goes "Bi ara ile eni ba n sepin loju, a n je ko mo ni, beeni aito ara eni barin laito ara eni bawi”. From my research, I found out in Oke-Ogun most especially the former Irepo Constituency (Igboho, Igbeti and Kishi), Kishi has the highest number of graduates and elites  from N.C.E, O.N.D, H.N.D, Degree respectively. Also it amaze me to know that Kishi has the highest number of students in higher institutions of learning (Colleges, Polytechnics, University and others). But it so sadden that despite the figures we have, majority of our graduates are just Certified and not Satisfied graduates, many of our wards in higher institutions are also passing through school without letting the school pass through them though this a case for another day or time.

Pa. Awolowo once said and I quote “Know something about everything and know everything about something”. In this Global world of today where the world has become an internet village,  it is hurtful and painful to see a Kishi Graduate's/Student's not being familiar with the use of internet. The last INEC, CIVIL DEFENCE, Tescom and Npower registration make me know more than 70% of Kishi graduates and undergraduates are not internet friendly despite having a big expensive browsing phone in their hands or household especially Ladies. This got me thinking 🤔, Why is it like that? Despite that most schools now gives lectures and conduct exams online and administration with the use of internet, why are we still backward in it, why still not familiar with it use? It's heartbreaking seeing youths, Kishi graduates, students rushing down to the cyber cafe in order to do an online registration which they can actually do on their phone with ease at their own conveniency. Then I found out majority of us just use ICT knowledge then to pass our exams and do not actually learn about it or master it. We were blinded by the Motion “Ona mi jin, ki n saa ti pass ki n de maa ni carryover ni koko” thereby not exposing ourselves to other activities going on in the school. Yes internet might not put food on your table but it can actually save you from a big mess, we've seen several cases where many people were deny admission or job due to a mistake committed by a Cyber-Cafe Attendant's (though everyone is bound to mistakes) but many were caused by our lacadastical and non-challant attitude “E saa bami se, e bami fill gbogbo e, elo ni yoo nami” even from those that tend to have studied or is studying computer 💻 related subjects in school. 

You see Kishians shivering, running up and down when it comes to filling of forms online even the working class (having graduates and student in school)  many are not cognisance of their Names and it arrangements, many do not know the difference between first name (your name) and surname (father's or guardian's name), Date of Birth, I. D Cards, difference between Residential and Permanent Home Address. Maybe we don't know or we've not heard of the saying that “If your phone is not fetching you money (Legally) then what is the use?”. So if all of us can't make use of our phones to make money at least we should be able to save some money for ourselves with it. Internet is more than social networking (i.e. Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram etc), it goes far beyond that, there is absolutely almost nothing, I repeat nothing that you can't do on your phone, I'm not saying we shouldn't patronize Cyber Cafe as it's a source of income for some people but honestly it shouldn't be all the time, especially when the registration we want to do does not require Thumb👍 or Eye👀 Capturing. The instructions to follow are there for you in all registration you want to do, just take your time and follow them.

It's high time we started exploring our phones, let make use of it in a way that we can save ourselves money if are not making any through it and that's why I will mention some apps we can benefit us if we have them on our phone and make things easier for us. If as a Graduate (Pontential job Seeker) or Students, you don't have have your documents on your phone, it's actually a big shame, there is no point taking it to the Business Center for scanning, your phone is not just for taking beautiful pictures, it can scan your documents perfectly for you the way you want, also we can make use of WPS, CAMSCANNER etc and save in the format we want. As Job Seeker, get yourself LINKEDIN and set your preferences, you will be alerted when there is any that suit you. As Graduate/Student you looking for apps that will fetch you some token, get yourself PREMISE, NESTER VERIFY and earn yourself money (at least for credit).  If as a Graduate/Student you don't have a working Gmail/Yahoo account on your phone, then the time is now, do you know it takes just 3-5 minutes just to open a Gmail/Yahoo account on your phone. Store all your documents inside your box and retrieve anytime you want it. Do you know you can actually resize your files if they are big on your phone, just upload it to your facebook account and re-download or make use of WPS, CamScanner,  etc.

 

Do you often forget your password making you loose access to most of your accounts, then GOOGLE SAVE PASSWORD is the app you need, it saves and help you retrieve your password with ease even after several years. As a Graduate/Student, your phone can be stolen or lost but your files will always be safe if you only put them on Google Drive, WPS Cloud, WhatsApp Drive, Facebook and Gmail. Your Phonebook Contact can actually be retrieve when you lost your phone if you SYNCHRONISE them on google. Are you writing a project/assignment and have to write a large portion out from textbooks before typing it again, IMAGE TO TEXT, CAMSCANNER (OCR) is the apps you need. You thinking of converting your files from a format to another format, IMAGE CONVERTER, FILE CONVERTER, CAMSCANNER, WINRAR, WPS are the apps you need. Are you running a business and thinking of online meeting with your staff during this pandemic?, ZOOM, DUO, WHATSAPP, TELEGRAM helps a great lot and very easy to use. You think of converting a Video to Music, Compressing them or Trimming,  why not get AUDIO CONVERTER, VIDEO CONVERTER. Do you want to read the lyrics of the music 🎶 you listening to? Music-Match is perfect for you. You having problem downloading from the internet, get VIDMATE or use your Browsers. All these apps and many more are just a click away at GOOGLE PLAY STORE And all for free. Don't just waste your data on uploading Pictures alone (don't say se emi ni mo n ra fun e ni?) try and learn new things daily online, you can join free online classes as many as you want and earn yourself a certificate, go to Udemy, Coursera, Google Digital Class etc. 

Dear Kishians youths, graduates, undergraduates, students and others, the time is now to explore the world from the angle of your room. Don't be afraid, don't panic just be caution as not to fall victims of fraudsters, ask questions where you are confuse and the world will be at your grib.

E WOYE (BEHOLD)

E WOYE is a very interesting poem for us to digest on the concept of life, how it would have been if some concepts didn't exist in the world, the vacuum they will leave and how it will be very difficult to fill.
