- A white man is explaining his experience so far in the learning of Yoruba language. He's so fluent and impeccable.

Yoruba is the best

The big thing about this is that he speaks Yoruba fluently specifically with Oyo/ibadan accent. Some Yoruba people cannot event speak with that accent. People should not downgrade his achievement. How many people can speak 4 four languages. I really commend him.
It is profoundly impressive isn't it.
Amazing!!! The man is very fluent. He speaks Oyo accent of Yoruba.
If we Africans can learn and speak English, French and other European as well as Asiatic languages effortlessly, then what stops an European, Arab or Asians from learning and speaking African languages with little difficulty?
Well they don't teach Yuroba abroad one has to go an extra mile to learn it , but these languages you mentioned they teach them in African countries
I tire my brother
What’s so special about them speaking our language
@@favouronwuchekwa A popular university in London does teach Yoruba, Igbo (not sure of Hausa)
@@olufemisonuga1049 Glad you said University we learn their language from Creche so you can't expect them to be surprised when you speak it well.... matter of fact it is expected that you do
If I hadn’t seen him I would have sworn he was Nigerian 🇳🇬, not that he can speak it but the accent as he is speaking it like a NATIVE 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤.
If this man is not of the Yorba decent, then, he's a genius. If anyone could speak of another dialect this fluent and coherently, then, I think he deserve recognition by the Yoruba race
Honestly, I think people resenting celebrating this man are just naive or insecure.
@@ashaade4176 not really. You won’t find a white person posting the picture of an African who speaks perfect English
Are you celebrated by English people for speaking English? Yoruba is just a language. It is no different from Yoruba man speaking Hausa, Igbo, Efik etc.
@@yinkafakunle5248 The argument you espouse has got a great deal of validity to it. There is an imbalance in appreciation of cultures. The Asian, European and Middle-Eastern cultures are always highly regarded and elevated relative to African ones. But his complete cognitive and psychological acceptance and adaptation of Yoruba Culture should be commended. Not only does he speak the language fluently he has also studied the religious philosophy of the culture too. That is highly commendable. Most native Europeans think very lowly of Africans and African Cultures.
By learning the language and culture he is saying to Black Africans. I appreciate what you have and what you are. I am willing to become like you has you are willing to become like me. That is very rare in a White man. Really rare. Mostly even our attempts to speak English is mocked because of our accents. That is changing a lot now some whites are showing maturity in admiring our cultures.

What is amazing about it? A lot of Yoruba people speak very good English I don't see English people getting excited about it! We should come off our colonial mentality and teach our children the language before oyinbo people start charging our children to relearn Yoruba.
We were colonized by the British. It is expected that we should speak English. When you go to Germany and speak German amazingly and fluently, they also would be shocked and surprised.
Nothing amazing about it at all
Please give him some credit. We teach English in our schools , have you ever heard that the Americans or the British teach Igbo or Yoruba in their schools.
Tell them.
Learning the worldwide lingua franca and learning a language that is spoken by only a certain percentage of one country are orders of magnitude different in difficulty. I can go take English classes anywhere. How many Yoruba classes are offered around the world?
You are so fluent at speaking Yoruba
You are absolutely wonderful
Keep moving
Regards
Lobartan ,fluent accent
It about time!!! I am Nigerian speaking fluent Norwegian enough to do presentations for my team. I was surprised when on my way to Lagos I met a isoko man who was married to a Chinese woman and she was speaking Isoko ( delta state, Nigerian) to their kids. We are all connected!
That's lovely
What's amazing and shocking is that foreigners don't have to learn African languages to thrive in Africa but Africans must learn foreign languages just to survive in a foreign nation
Depends which African country you are referring to?
It’s hard to generalise and say ‘Africans’ when Africa isn’t one country it’s a continent with 54 unique nations with 1000’s of different dialects.
If you go to most African major cities you will find English speakers everywhere. English is the most widely spoken language in the world due to British colonial rule.
It’s actually the opposite of what you think.
Also most economic migrants from Africa come from cities and built up areas like Legos or Ibadan in Nigeria 🇳🇬 were English is a second language.
The same in Kenya 🇰🇪 cities like Mombasa or Lusaka in Zambia 🇿🇲
Nigeria is a country I so love, feel something great inside me for this country. When I think that some native are not able to speak their mother's tongue
👍👍👍👍
Unbelievable he even speak Yoruba more than most people I know
I had seen an Oyinbo woman speaking Ẹgba fluently.. and for this man also I say kudos
I spent most of my life outside the country only to return home and found out that some people are teaching their children not to speeak Yoruba but English, even some of my family members aren't exception of the adoption of this kind of mentality. It was so tearfully disappointing to realize that some Africans have become very deeply immersed in colonial mentality instead of curing themselves off it.
Imagine the British looking down on their own language by adopting the Nigerian languages. Even worse, imagine that the British prefer to speak the Nigerian languages instead of English. My question is since when did it become cool or a pride for anyone in any part of the world to not know how to speak thier native languages?
I know I'm late but exactly! I'm 14 and I've spent my whole life overseas. During that time, I've tried to learn a lot of yoruba but it's been sort of difficult since I didnt live in Nigeria. When I moved back to Nigeria, I was so scared that I would be made fun of for not knowing proper yoruba, but to my surprise hardly anyone knew their language. I only know 2 people my age who can speak they're language and they can hardly speak it well. It's so sad how weve let colonialism change our perception and caused us to lose our roots. We look at English and Britain as of they're some great superior people even though we have one of the most richest cultures there is. It's sad that were slowly losing our background and heritage. Anyways, I'm really learning more and more yoruba by the day and hopefully I will be fluent soon and encourage others to speak it too.
I dont get how in a country with so many different tribes and traditions, many people can only speak one language which is a foreign one and everyone is just fine with that. It's crazy.
Its the down home village local accent that got me. Have seen many whites speak but he nailed the authentic omo Ibadan lingo.
A white man teaching Yorubas their lost culture, what a shame. Nigerian as turned Yoruba people into English people. This is why Yoruba nation needs to happen
I love this. You speak the Oyo dialect! I'm proud of you.
Thanks. Adupe!
@@kellvon4675 wa6
He is good
E seun gidi gan-an ni
Shocked,blown away.Going to the pub to drink some gin to recover from the shock!Shaken and stirred....
Amazing 🤩
I have always love speaking this language
Ok hope to speak it one day before I die
Excellent 👍👍👍👍👍
He deserve some credit... many Nigerians can speak other languages apart from their own and English?. Igbo, hausa and yoruba...
Beautiful wonderful
He spoke better yoruba than me and I am yoruba
Oh wow 👏
Amazing that he speaks Yorùbá fluently, and the Yorùbás there are mixing English with Yorùbá. 😂😂
Don’t see anything amazing here
@@yinkafakunle5248 have you had to learn a foreign language you're not born with in adulthood?
@@IBUKUNMICHAEL of course
@@yinkafakunle5248 and you still didn't see anything amazing in it, with the rising count of Yorùbá indigenes who cannot speak nor write their own mother language.
Wonderful 👏 and shocking a white man speaks yoruba and yet the blacks in all foreign countries do not want to come back to there states of origin a shame
I feel sad for modern age Yoruba parents for not teaching their kids the language, I won't be surprised that an era will come, where they will unavoidably start paying heavily to make their kids learn the language from Foreigners. MARK THIS COMMENT
Shocking and amazing? How? Is there any language restricted to any tribe? Is he the first white to speak yoruba language?
Please what is his name? I want to research more about him, his works and his biography.... I am thrilled by his fluency.
There is nothing shocking or amazing here, he studied Yoruba at the university level, so it is not surprising he speaks ijinle Yoruba. Remember, we speaks fluent English or other languages too after learning them.
‼️‼️💯💯
Thank you
Lol. He speaks like a native. That's commendable.
@@onigbindeoluwamuyiwa4135 it’s not commendable at all it’s common sense if you stay somewhere for some time you will start speaking with similar accent to the people, Do you know of the Oyinbo that Alaafin had adopted speaks fluent Yorùbá even though he is a Portuguese man? All of the Anti that go London now dey talk like ọmọ londoner
Am impressed but what is shocking about it, why is it not shocking for us to speak English 🤔
He speaks better Yoruba than anyone else in the audience.
no one is ever #white but they are rather #orange and #pink in skin color. I have never seen a white person in my entire life
You are right. I am still looking
Thank you Ma. It shades of brown.
Are you killing me now beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ✨️
Okunrin yii gbayi
Yoruba e ronu
Me self as Yoruba, I can't speak clearly like. I go use English topup am small small
clap for the colonizer! 😂
What's shocking?? We also speak English, French, etc
Eleyi gidi gan o.
These are the Brazilian Yoruba ppl it’s nothing new I hate how d keep calling him white🙄 Yoruba tribe was the largest taken and sold during Slavs trade. He’s a pure Yoruba man overlook his color they still practice the spiritual beliefs and culture and religion.
Moku. Mogbe. Modaron.
Half cast
🤔🤔he spent his life in Africa
Charity begins at home folks.Also learn Yoruba fluently!Jesus is Lord.God the Father,Son and Holy spirit rule over EARTH AND THE INNUMERABLE GALAXIES.NO CONTEST...
Even we in the Yoruba land can't speak the language fluently or understand half of what this white man knows.
Stop saying ‘we’ and speak for yourself. If you have the data for the number of individuals that can’t speak it then let us know the statistics. Cheers
@@stephen446 it’s actually proven that a lot African in Africa can’t speak their native language
These are Brazilians that have African descent. That is the work of slavery. In Brazil they are still stuck on traditional religion.
Comment about his diction not preaching to people better than you here
I pray these people know God and give their lives to almighty Jesus as their Lord and God. They are very educated but no God not. God have mercy upon them and make them to know you Lord for in Jesus name I pray Amennnn
This is an old video.
What chock me is the fact that you are finding it shocking. Why do you find it shocking. Are you serious ? What is it shocking about it 😮
If you think this is amazing, you really need to reevaluate yourself and your colonial mentality, a foreigner coming into the land and learning the language is not something to roll red carpet out for, you should ask the question, when did it become normal for you to not expect a foreigner to come in and learn the language of the land of the people?. Someone putting time to learn a language is not something to be uphold especially when you do the same for English. Sad how you can travel Nigeria without having to know a single indigenous language of the land to survive, but if you dont know English you are seen as illiterate?? Wère ni
See how this white man spoken in Yoruba language, same on you all Yoruba can't speak yoruba.si o yin oju ngbami ti fun yin
Whypepo should not be practicing IFA
💯💯
How many Yorubas speak Whiteman's language? Why should this be shocking?
It's usually shocking when anyone whose native language is different, has no cultural roots with the people, and was raised in an environment where the language isn't widely spoken can speak it fluently, that applies to anyone.
In Western Nigeria as you know, English is an official language - so most people are familiar with it to varying extents. In the Western world most people are not aware of Yoruba, not to mention familiar with it to any meaningful extent, this is why it's shocking.
Plus no one is ever #white but they are rather #orange and #pink in skin color. I have never seen a white person in my entire life
@@oceejekwam6829 well said, spot on my dear, nothing else to add. You addressed his ignorance beautifully. So now my dear Alf Alfred please shock us by FLUENTLY speaking any of the native Japanese languages. We' ll wait.
@@ladydee3929 Thank you Madam.
It depends on the language. For instance, when a black man is heard speaking Russian, it's always shocking to Russians.
He looks mixed
Call this amazing shameful generation because Shakespeare founded the Yoruba tribes Abrakabraaaaaaa
He is not mix English with Yoruba
True religion should not be based on location. And the tract is that Christianity is not really a western religion. Jesus is a Jew.
Spy
YOUR NOT EXITED THAT VIRTUALLY ALL YORUBA PEOPLE SPEAK ENGLISH LANGUAGE FLUENTLY BUT YOU ARE EXITED THAT ONE OYIBO PERSON SPEAK YORUBA LANGUAGE !!!!!!!!!
I'll just leave a dislike and go about my business as my know my people are far too naive this discussion.
Scammer, spy!!!
Ìyáláàyá ìyá ẹ ló ń ṣalamí.
The black is speaking in English that will be good to show as well.
Unbelievable he even speak Yoruba more than most people I know
It's just like a Nigerian speaking German or Italian fluently. Once you learn a language no matter where you are from, it will stick. So for me, it's all about learning. It's not such a big deal. I know a Nigerian who speaks 7 European languages fluently.
