First Africa API ko, last Africa API ni.

A Yoruba lady Omolabake Adenle already built an API for not only Yoruba language. It both Igbo and Hausa too.

Besides that, there has been numerous African language API even before these ones so I find it funny that someone can claim African language API was only first developed in 2021.

Jonny Just Come....

This is what you do when your language is dying and almost extinct and even unknown all over the world, unlike globally spoken and recognized Yoruba language and culture.

You have to do more than open-source to save that dying and almost extinct Igbo language.

you guys didn't read the Article, hers is the first open-source Api language in Africa.

"An open API, also called public API, is an application programming interface made publicly available to software developers. Open APIs are published on the internet and shared freely, allowing the owner of a network-accessible service to give universal access to consumers."only developers would be using this technology to build whatever they want. this is for better clarification. The headline has been modified.




just for some clarification adenle never developed any Igbo API I have gone through her website and the only language available on her site is Yoruba.

It's an interactive Igbo dictionary and very very impressive from the looks of it. https://nkowaokwu.com/search?word=Bia&page=0.

Yorubas, our own too must be interactive

The United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) has revealed that the south-west has the second highest number of stunted children in Nigeria. UNICEF Communication Officer, Blessing Ejiofor, speaking at a meeting on child nutrition in Ogun state attributed the high number of stunted children in the region to acute malnutrition.
She revealed that 19.4% of children in South West are stunted, which is only
second to what is obtained in the North. She said; “However, 19.4 per cent of
children in South-West Nigeria are stunted. This figure is worse than the figure for the South-East and the south-south but better than the North as we would see during the presentations. This calls for more work by everyone –government and all of us.
“As agenda setters, we must do more to keep child nutrition conversations on the priority list of those that can act to reverse this ugly trend.
“UNICEF believes that journalists can help set the agenda for action against all forms of child malnutrition, be it severe acute malnutrition or stunting. This, the media can do by creating heightened awareness among leaders and citizens.
The media remains UNICEF’s major ally as we work for every child, everywhere, to build a better world for everyone.
