Yorùbá + Change: A General Discussion on the Evolution of the Yoruba Culture


Change is natural, inevitable, and necessary in certain cases. The Yorùbá culture and language has gone through several significant changes, especially in the following spheres: pronunciation, writing, word usage, and thoughts/approaches to issues. In this video, I give a general presentation on my thoughts regarding the changes.

Thank you…

  1. Here is an example of a Yorùbá advertisement in the town of Pọ̀bẹ́ with some french words for certain accessories. Its pretty straight forward. However, all dialects of Yorùbá language have particular characteristics that distinguish it from the koiné forms. The dialects of Yorùbá language on the Benin Republic side of Yorùbáland also share their own ideosycracies as dialects, not necessarily because of French usage in that country. All these dialects have been existance since before European colonialism.

  2. We can’t blame him it’s just unfortunate the effects of certain acts like that. The work that you do to promote yoruba culture will make a positive impact for the future to come.

  3. How can we save Yoruba Language from changing completely to English. Most yoruba kids cant even complete a yoruba sentence without mixing it with English 🤔

  4. You are right! Change is inevitable in ALL cultures and things have generally inter crossed and merged .. I’m part 🇳🇬 and Beninoise so I understand what you were saying about accent, even your accent is tinged with British lol even as you said it’s not pure English 😂.. everything is interesting.. thanks for sharing your well of knowledge..

  5. @ Adérónké̩, O seun Oo – Prof. Sophie Oluwole, She is one of my favorite Professors of African Philosophy and Yoruba Philosophy. She is greatly missed! "If you condemn the whole of your culture, you are a stupid idiot. If you praise everything, you are a compound fool" Prof. Sophie Oluwole – https://youtu.be/UHTVxlWFkWc

  6. The story of Ajayi Crowther is so interesting, made me wince I have to say. I'll do some research on him but you're absolutely correct when you consider what it must have been like for him during that time to so desperately want to assimilate and be accepted into a supposedly 'superior' culture, let's face it, all over the Diaspora this is still a key issue.

  7. I discovered Prof Sophie Oluwole exactly 3 days ago and the 'stupid idiot' interview 😁😁, she is just wonderful, I love listening to her. This subject feels so timely for me, I enjoyed listening.

  8. Correction/June 2020 Update:
    “Oun ò̩wò̩ tí a ó láti inú re̩ ni a ó ma pè ní o̩mo̩ O̩ló̩run."
    It means “The honourable thing (one) that will be birthed from inside you is who we will call the child of The Lord of Heaven (God).”
