Several years ago I was seated on an airplane next to a Yoruba professor. Her daughter had just had her wedding in Nigeria and had married an Anglo. The Anglo spoke fluent Yoruba. I asked how that happened The professor said that while in college, the Anglo had a friendship with a Yoruba guy in his class. The Anglo fell in love with the culture & the language his friend spoke. He set out to become fluent in Yoruba. For someone to learn your language out of love, is a true compliment!
This man is a true ambassador for 'humanity', this should serve as an encouragement for close minded people to be open minded about other culture! Way to go Kayode! I'm very much impressed.
@@asylvon I think there is so much more to knowing your roots than being able to fluently speak your native language. I was born in Nigeria raised in UK I can speak Yoruba fluently, but still deal with racist hypocrisy by ignorance of a few that perceive me as an Aero Cookie "Oyinbo".
Your proficiency of the Yoruba Language is beyond believe......I should learn Yoruba too ASAP!!!!!............. Funny thing he first learn about the Yoruba from Brazilians and Cubans, and Not even Nigerians...... wake up guyz.
Adeola look so young and beautiful here, love her voice. Kayode is really a global ambassador for the yoruba language, he was really able to discipline himself to learn the language perfectly well
ohh kayode .. i am so happy i watching this now .. i know you so well and i always see you around in my school .. most especially when you always do road walks .. i am always happy to be a University of Ibadan boy ..
Wow, i'm stunned, and highly impressed!! Being a British Nigerian myself, and growing up hearing my parents speak Yoruba and understanding it, but (regrettably) not being able to speak and converse fluently just yet, makes this so encouraging to watch!! This has reminded me it's never too late to learn. Great video! :)
Mais Strauss Do that.Do not forget to let your offspring start learning at a very tender age.Mine can,t a word inYyoruba language and I have problem to explain to them I was responsble Yoruba language is a Godly language and very rich in.
Wow. Titi, Kayode well done and thanks for the program. That was incredibly well played talking drum! I play African drums too but, talking drums are the most difficult one to learn and Kayode has done very well with it.
Am really proud of this program and proud of Titilayo and Kayode.They both speak Yoruba language better than my children who lives in Atlanta.This is a slap on most parents in America who communicate in English with their children at home while Titlayo and Kayode speak perfectt Yoruba.We better appericiate what we have as we have a beautiful and rich culture Good job to the lectures and the students
Awesome! And the attire fits him well. Thank you Saharatv for uploading this. Please bring out more from Africa; Blacks need to know more about ourselves. There is a lot of damage done to our psyche already. We have to adequately collaborate with the likes of Kayode and Titilayo. They are everywhere but we must reach out to them.
He cannot take what we have. He can only appreciate it. Yoruba culture is not like a briefcase that can be taken. So we have no fear we appreciate him for this.
Outstanding....... Hell! he speaks Yourba better than me and i grew up in naija! All five WARRIORS put was all to shame.......this is the most positive thing i've heard from naija in years...this has made my DECADE!
Am proud to be born in Yoruba Kingdom and I understand yoruba so well, and thanks for the people who teaches these white people the culture of yoruba language and am proud of them'all.
kayode am very happy and proud of you withing 9 months you were able to pick up the language I mean pure yoruba not diluted type with english am very impressed for your brilliant job.Now thatyou are back to USA wont you start to forget since you dont speak much of yoruba at home.Mr Kay Ma gbagbe Ibadan o.! Ma gbagbe Nigeria Oluwa a wa pelu yin.......Amin keep it up
This is marvellous. Barry should have been born a Nigerian. He was born an American by mistake. If this trend continues, YORUBA language might spread and be spoken throughout the globe. Wonderful.
I will be damned. That's what dedication and sense of purpose means. he went for it, he wanted to learn and he learnt. I am really proud. I cant even say proverbs as good as he does. He's a man of the world.
well even though im impressed and appreciate their `LOVE and INTEREST` in Nigeria, i still say ´´AWON OYINBO TUN NBA KAN´NBO`` SO A NEED LATI FI LONG SPOON SHE ILO PELU WON. thumb up for their fluency in my Yoruba language
Since this guy can speak Yorba this fluently, I believe there's no language he cannot learn if he puts his mind to it. I love the way he speaks yoruba, for real!
tabiade is probably not a Yoruba, hence his comments. He sounds more like an Akata. How can a guy who played the talking drum and who interpreted the words he played on the drum be mocking your culture. I am proud of these guys, they reminded me of how fortunate and blessed to be who we are, our culture is very rich and colorful, hence our 'ariya' factor. We are a smiling people.
Inu mi dun pupo bi mo se wo video yii, lati ri awon Omo America maa so Yoruba bii pe, ati ile Yoruba ni won ti wa. Eyi wa je eko fun awon Omo Yoruba ti won bi Ni Orile ede Naija lai mo ede won so daadaa lati mura gidi si siso ati mimo asa ati ede won. Eje ki gbogbo wa farapomora lati gbe Ede wa tesiwaju, lati gbe ede Yourba laruge. O se se. God bless you all.
Very Impressive. It is refreshing to see aspects of our culture respected. For too long parts of African culture have been dismissed. Thanks for uploading. I wish I could play the Drums like Kayode. FAO: adisalaam I agree....
Wow! You Are Wonderful. Its nice to listen to you. I dont know how you got started but you are really interested in the language and thats one of the reason behind this success. it goes beyond this language... keep up the free mind.
Do I see jealousy eating deep on some non-yoruba people who are dissing this young white guys. GBOSA! To themf or a job well done. Omo Oduduwa for life!
This is impressive. This is big slap to some ignorant Yoruba people that never appreciate their culture. Yoruba is one of the powerful culture and language in the world. Some dumb Yorubas even change their name form "olawale" to "horlawalay". Have u ever witness "Brandon" spell as "Burandonu" before. We just need to appreciate our culture like Asian and others do
It would have been nice if a transcript could have been provided. Of course, for us folk who don't speak Yoruba... It's not like the interview didn't start out in English!
@goinatural Well said!..... It is the remnants of slavery which makes us inherently think our magnificent and rich language - Yoruba is inferior...... it is a crying shame that an ‘outsider’ is showing more pride for the motherland than us....
To me the beauty of this clip is not that guy speaking Yoruba, afterall there are numerous Africans, even Yorubas, speaking English better than the native English. But for someone to acquire so much proficiency of a language within so short a time is commendable. And Yoruba being a tonal language is not a dance one does with snuff on one palm, so to say. However the magic of this clip is the drumming. That man must have been a Yoruba man in his previous incarnation. No doubt!
This is really surreal. Aren't there any sharp movie producers in Nigeria? These Yorubs speaking oyinbos could make some Yoruba movie producer a fortune if he can come up with a good script that will integrate their ability to speak Yoruba language.

I was born in Nigeria and raised in the US and watching this motivates me to want to learn how to speak yoruba more fluently
Go ahead bro. Never forget ur roots.
Same here

@african cockney
That's sad. But just out of curiosity why do you call yourself african cockney?🤔🤔🤔
Sameee
This is great. To value other people's language and culture is indeed a great honour. Mo gba fun yi joo.
I like these guys for having an open mind and pluck to learn about other customs and culture. God bless them!
Your proficiency of the Yoruba Language is beyond believe......I should learn Yoruba too ASAP!!!!!............. Funny thing he first learn about the Yoruba from Brazilians and Cubans, and Not even Nigerians...... wake up guyz.

This guy must have grown up in a yoruba land. Many people in Lagos can't even speak yoruba language as fluently as he does. Amazing!
I AM BEYOND IMPRESSED.....I'M IGBO BUT WHO CARES....THIS IS EXCITING!!!
seriously, this guy speaks yoruba better than i do. i rate him 99.9%
I have seen many things in my life... but this is truly impressive.
E kare o !!
Adeola you are a treasure to Nigeria. You are so down to earth- I am sure Lagos fabricated you; even your laughter makes me miss Lagos.
I am proud of Titilayo and Kayode! Had I been Nigeria's President I would have made you ministers. You inspired me!
congratulation Kayode , its a grate thing for you hearing the best language in the world, Yoruba is grate
he actually speaks yoruba really well
"Ibu omoge ni Nigeria" This guy is smart and funny. Ede Yoruba enu Kayode (Kelvin) da samu, asa naa si ye daada. I can't like this enough.
I honestly envy Mr Kayode.I am a born yoruba but cannot understand "owe"like Kayode.Omo rere ni Kayode ooooo,odabo
i know right! i'm going to start learning straight away
Mais Strauss Do that.Do not forget to let your offspring start learning at a very tender age.Mine can,t a word inYyoruba language and I have problem to explain to them I was responsble
Yoruba language is a Godly language and very rich in.
Hospitality by Nigerians in Nigeria is overwhelming!!!! Nice country!!!! Sees everyone as the same. Respects Oyinbos very well.
Wow. Titi, Kayode well done and thanks for the program. That was incredibly well played talking drum! I play African drums too but, talking drums are the most difficult one to learn and Kayode has done very well with it.
A WHITE MAN WHO SPEAKS YORUBA FLUENTLY??! OMG!!! He speaks even better than I do!! OMG!!

Titilayo is actually a good dancer, more importantly she looks like she's enjoying herself

Wow, Kayode's yoruba sounds better than Titi's to me! Now it makes me curious to hear what the other folks sound like!
THIS MAKES ME FULLY PROUD:)
Wow! Kayode you are my hero.

Menh! This is damn IMPRESSIVE!!!
This is impressive. This is big slap to some ignorant Yoruba people that never appreciate their culture. Yoruba is one of the powerful culture and language in the world. Some dumb Yorubas even change their name form "olawale" to "horlawalay". Have u ever witness "Brandon" spell as "Burandonu" before. We just need to appreciate our culture like Asian and others do

Prof. Well done for good job.
THIS CAME UP WHEN I LOOKED UP “OYINBO” 💀💀💀
It would have been nice if a transcript could have been provided. Of course, for us folk who don't speak Yoruba...
It's not like the interview didn't start out in English!
Kevin Is So Amazing With His Yoruba Even More Than Titilaiyo
Will like Kayode to meet Uncle Tunde Kelani, to get a role alongside Titi Oyinbo
@goinatural Well said!..... It is the remnants of slavery which makes us inherently think our magnificent and rich language - Yoruba is inferior...... it is a crying shame that an ‘outsider’ is showing more pride for the motherland than us....
Learn our languages thoroughly to infilitrate our very inner workings.......Very nice..
I thought so too .. It’s kinda leaves room for worry because of the antecedents of these people

me too, so embarrassing .I'm 25 and trying to learn, it's never to late!
I like this program. The white students yoruba are stronger than mine too.
I'm Igbo. I don't understand anything he is saying. But chai, HE IS FINE OOOOHHH! Can I have you?
That is only thing u see, instead of u to learn Yoruba I believe u are living in Yoruba region. Go and learn it now
