[iyawodara]

As a young girl I visited my cousins who lived on campus. Their next door neighbor Scottish girl spoke excellent Yoruba in the early 80s. Glad to see more interest these days

[michlaseven]

thought the elder woman at the end said the others of her friends have arrived. That was an empty class..

[joroboam]

Why are Africans soooo impressed to see a "White " person speaking Yoruba? Many Africans are fluent in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and even Russian. Is this a measure of how Africans feel inferior about their own abilities and aspects of their Africanness? Why aren't White people popping their eyes out in admiration when Africans speak their languages; sometimes even more fluently than they do, especially polyglots?

[SoulfulLova]

@grazzellian Who cares?

[beautifulgooal]

@grazzellian because we don't have a lot of white citizens in african countries so it's different except in places like south africa, namibia and zimbabwe.

[aitan844]

@grazzellian no we do not feel inferior lol! well most of us dont and those of us who are educated, well travelled and born in western countries dont need to have a chip on our shoulders either. however i have yet to see any vids of black americans speaking yoruba or any african language so when you find one let me know okay? case closed.

[VICTORIA81369]

@grazzellian It’s simply because is rare and flattering to see such a thing.

One of the reasons why many think that africans feel inferior to other people is because there are a lot of people like you who think so.

As a nigerian girl raised up in italy i’m always surprised and glad to see a non-italian person speaking

my language correctly.

[aitan844]

@grazzellian by the way since you came on here to be resentful what language do you speak again.? just sayin..

[mela234candy]

well im glad i can understand but dont speak it because of my accent i dont want to mess up the pure dialect.......

[Outreachat]

You must have lived somewhere around the staff quarters in the Bini Road neighbourhood; I recognize Mellanby Hall, and you seem to have also passed by the University Guest Houses. There are great folks at the Modern European Languages Department who receive Yoruba learners from places like Italy, Spain and Germany often; surprised they now have something new set aside for exchange learning. I salute your spirit; the best white expatriates can always be told from the way they socialize in Africa.

[Outreachat]

@Outreachat: That's Kuti Hall at 2:40, with the Arts Theatre to the left, so you must have been walking past Sultan Bello Hall when those guys were calling out. Right? UI is different from what it used to be; maybe you were walking towards Tedder Hall from Mellanby. I have not been to UI in 10 years.

[vasselord]

one cool chic

[dvdaboh10]

wow! dat's a long walk

[Murf181]

[duketommy1]

hello titi, i will like you to join this yoruba group on facebook, am sure u will learn more from the page, cos they speak real yoruba everyday and you can serve as a motivator for some yoruba that can not speak the language. the group name is yoruba ronu. just dearch it on facebook

[leerano]

Great stuff, I see you have figured how we exercise down there. I wish I could learn a new language like that. I sucked at French going up

[hoodbilli]

I love this :) You're so cute. lol. Thanks for sharing. I'm still alittle shocked tho.

[Newseasontoday]

This was soooo entertaining and fun. I lived in UI for years before coming to the US. the place has changed a bit. I could recognize sultan bello Hall and Kuti Hall. Couldnt recognize whether you live.You definitely have a lot of pluck. Keep it up:)

[freshola]

[haysquare2008]

Titilayo may God guide and give u more knowledge to achieve your desire goals....... I am an indigene of Ibadan, Nigeria...... Sending this from DC, USA

[gleicher16]

[FroMaestro]

I love this video! I grew up near U.I. so this has been pretty nostalgic. Do you by any chance know of the U.I. Baptist Church? Ever been there or heard bout it? I'd love to know, even if you just scanned by it for a split second lol. Thanks for the nostalgia! =D

ps. I like your Yoruba, better than your diction is your comprehension. Amazing.

pps. "school" is ile iwe ["house of books"]- not to be confused with bathroom, ile iwe [ house of...baths? haha]

All the best!

[tomiwaa]

This is awesome...i should share this video with all my caucasian friends that asks what it would be like if they ever went to Nigeria
