I congratulate Nigeria for the adoption of a Nigerian language, Yoruba, as a testing language for the Department of Motor Vehicles in the United States.

Similarly, since 2014, Selfridges and Harrods have been employing Yoruba-speaking staff, and the UK Metropolitan Police Service has been hiring Yoruba-speaking Constables and Officers since 2015.

Elsewhere, I have written about traversing the American continent and studying the staying power of Yoruba language and culture in the Americas. Enslaved people were taken from all over Africa, but ONLY the Yoruba language, culture, and traditional religion have collectively withstood the acculturation by European culture to become one of the most dominant cultures in the Americas and Caribbeans.

Yoruba Ifa-based Babalawo are very popular with Whites and Latinos in the Americas, and Santeria and Candomblé are two of the fastest growing religions in North and South America. They are both based on traditional Yoruba Ifa religion, mixed with Catholicism, with saints known as Orisa.

Even in modern times, music of Yoruba origin is rebranding Nigeria's image away from 419 and romance scams. For this, we thank those who set the table and laid the foundation, especially Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, and Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey.

Unsurprisingly, all of Nigeria's Grammy Award winners have been of Yoruba descent, except Burna Boy, including:

Sade Adu (1986), Babatunde Olatunji (1991), Sikiru Adepoju (1991) and Seal (1996), Burna Boy (2021), Wizkid (2021), Temilade Openiyi AKA Tems (2023).

Once again, I say a big congratulations to Nigeria.

Mmm hu

Please I’m tired of hearing about Yoruba. Let us breetttt.

Congratulations to Nigeria.
This settles argument that Yorubas don't leave their enclaves.

Always measuring dicks, these people are always measuring dicks with the...... They are always trying to prove that they are better than the..... Any little thing they think is an achievement to them, they will always want to use it to compare themselves with the...... A wise man once said that "winners focus on winning while losers focus on winners"

😂😆 achievement, dividine of democracy on a gullible mind,this western world really know how to press our mumu button
Mental slavery,
Like for dictatorship share for democracy in nigeria

Tinubu should help this Asslicker with any job even if it's to clean aso rock toilet

He's hungry and in desperate need for appointment

Man is broke

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This tribe and propaganda!!!!

No be this same USA I dey?. Funny thing is you see them call the Igbos chest beaters but these guys always look for anything any anyOne says about Yoruba and are quick to popularize it even when the person is just trolling or totally insignificant 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you know how many foreign languages and cultures are propagated in tech daily ? Afrikaans is the number one recognized language from African continent globally yet you don't see the Zulus dancing that the white man has recodnized them 🤣🤣

I am sure the Nairaland tribe chiefs will be dancing to this mediocre news. This nigga using you all to troll

There is no where Yoruba is recodnized specifically. I live in the US and have family in the UK .

The UK metro police started employing Yoruba speakers solely for the number of crimes commited by Yoruba speaking people in the UK so they wanted to be able to intercept and decode the calls . Because these criminals use yoruba only to speak on the phone in texts and in emails so the UK metro police had to find a way to intercept this. But here they are dancing as if it's a positive reason they are employed😂😂😂😂

Don't believe me, contact the UK metropolice help desk ! This info is available to the public. Yorubas are profiled in the UK as the number 1 tribe that commits all cyber crime from Nigeria.
Reno is just exposing it all, we all know. At one point it was the Jamaicans. Go to Peckham and Kent na Yoruba gangs full there 🤣🤣

Same way Italia police employ people who speak Esan in Palermo doesnt make my mum's people the main culture in Italy

Which Nigerian here in America won't tell yoú the truth that the Yoruba run gangs here?. They steal cars everyday and ship to Nigeria, na their work ! Plus Account hacking, Credit card fraud , identify theft that's what they do here in America mostly . They work with the Asians and are masters of all manner of tax frauds and such. The American police whenever they arrest Nigerian involved in fraud assume 100% you are yoruba . Facts only

Hmmmmm !


Tinubu Tinubu Tinubu,

How many times did I call you?

Abeg look for job give Reno make we rest.

Even if naa PA to toilet washing, just give am something.

Nawaooo.

This Omokri can cause tribe war, imagine this 70 years old man write up, I wonder the can father Omokri are. Any thing that come to Nigeria let regard it as Nigeria not a tribe

Yes, more Yorubas are in America...since business shifted to China and when China became the world leading Manufacturer, more igbos prefer China...and if same census is conducted in China today, you will discover more igbos in China than any other tribe in Africa...not just west African.


One good thing about Igbos is that you don't see them fighting for Citizenship in another man's country, is business kawai

Reno is in love with Yoruba people

Again.. which tribe Reno be ?

…still the Yoruba gods keep ignoring the fool..
Reno is a shameless man

Attendance: Present ✔️
Fool + Fish brain = Reno
Unapologetic......🥱

Reno is hungry like a lion he needs something

Tinubu should Pls give this job seeker work, the weyrey don submit CV tire.
Next thing he'll start admiring Yoruba's faeces.

Very pathetic man that isn't proud of his own tribe.

Yoruba be like MTN - na everywhere you go oo!! Yoruba don go far 💪

Let the psychotic hateful pigs continue to hate and wail. 😂

This Reno if he likes let him use Yoruba to sing morning till night, nothing for him from Tinubu. Yoruba this Yoruba that, he'll check his phone. Ozuo

A man so shame of his own tribe …

Crazy

Reno The tormentor of that other tribe

Our Jews wannabe people just full the thread with their normal hatred and jealousy. They can't stand it when others are prospering, dey think say Yoruba dey compete with them... People wey dey their own lane dey do dia thing.

Only Igbo people dey force others to call themselves Igbo. Yoruba people no send, na everyone dey use dia own mouth talk say dem be Yorubas, From Igala people to Benin Republic...as far as Brazil, Togo, to Cuba. Yoruba no dey force dem to call themselves Yorubas...it comes freely.

I will advise our Nigerian Jews to stop forcing Igbos on people that are unwilling to be Igbos (Many of them are afraid of the bad reputation of the Igbos...all of them dey avoid una like plaque) Na only una get this problem, from Anioma, Ikwere, Ijaw to Asaba, those ones say Dem no be Igbo.😁😜😁😜😁😜😁

Yoruba is a race of black people whose culture is supreme and a way of life, you can't kill it.

Reno! Giving chest pain since 1820

Yoruba is a religion not only language because religion supposed to give happiness and respect for another ethnicity and believes.

Snitches are liable to get stitches!
