ENGLISH LANGUAGE

On Friday the fifth day of schooling, I am always very happy because school closes at one o’clock in the afternoon when the weekend begins.

I love the weekend break because I get to see my parents. From Monday to Friday, I do not get to see my mother/mummy and father/daddy because in order to beat the Lagos traffic, they leave home for work before I wake up and return very late when I am asleep.

I also love the weekend break because I get to sleep longer and watch television too. During the school day, I wake up at six o’clock in the morning to get ready for the school bus that picks me up at seven o’clock in the morning. But during the weekend, I get to sleep till eight o’clock in the morning. Mummy cooks different types of meal on Saturday and I get to eat more. On Sunday, Daddy drives us to Church and after Church, we go to visit my grandparent. Grandpa and grandma are very nice.

I am not usually happy when I am told by my parent to go to bed early on Sunday in order to get ready for school on Monday.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

It is important to be familiar with the names of parts of the body in learning a language because it is often embedded in conversation. Understanding these names would enhance the knowledge of Yoruba by those who love to learn the language. We hope that the pictures and the Yoruba pronunciation on these slides would be useful.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

This is one of the poems memorised by primary school pupils when there was quality public education. But nowadays, when schools have abandoned mother tongue, children are now taught meaningless foreign poems. Or how relevant is the poem about “London Bridge falling down” to a child who has no access to electricity/power, clean potable water, good road, dilapidated classrooms, or has never seen a bridge in her little village? Kudos to the Lagos House of Assembly and the Governor for legislating a law making the teaching and learning of Yoruba language and culture compulsory in all Lagos schools. It is hoped that this effort by Lagos State will encourage both the teachers and pupils to return to learning poems that are relevant and sensible poems. See below the words and recital of the poem.

Care about your character, my friend;
Wealth do depart from one’s lineage
Beauty do fade from people

A rich man today could end up in poverty tomorrow,
Riches is like ocean, ocean is like the depth of wealth
All do depart from lineage
But only character follows one to the grave
Money is nothing
Character is the beauty of a person

What if you are rich without any moral principle?
Who will confide in you for a worthy cause?
Or if you are a woman of paragon beauty;
Yet far away from people’s expected moral standard,
Who will marry such as a wife?
Or if you are a con-artist;
Even when you are highly educated,
Who will entrust you with business?

Care about your character, my friend,
In the absence of character, education is futile,
Everyone loves a person with good character.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Even though we have written about Yoruba Alphabets in the past, it is being re-written to remind readers on how it is pronounced, written and to point out the difference between the Yoruba and English Alphabets.

For example, English Alphabets are made up of twenty-six letter while Yoruba Alphabets are twenty-five. Check out the slides on this page.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Reverence to the First Being, reverence to the Creator
I will revere Him today; let my reverence be
In times of plenty, in times of scarcity
I come with a heart of thanksgiving; let my reverence be
The One Whose mighty hand holds the world sway
Order my life
In ways I’ve been disobedient to You
Father, forgive me, I pray
I’m the river that flows from Your Source; do not let me dry up

Reverence! Reverence!!

The wicked grow, the wicked prosper
The good beg for food
The kind suffer
You do as You please
Your mysterious ways are known only to You; Your glory never tarnishes
The Rock of Ages, I look to You
Man’s wagging tongue is never reliable
Man speaks ill of You; man speaks good of You
The One Who has the days keeps numbering them
Sooner or later, the things of the world will perish with the world

Reverence! Reverence!!

He who gets burnt by a friend’s fire of betrayal keeps what he has in his mind to himself
There is a true friend as such that loves you deeply
There is also such a friend that kills in betrayal
Hope entrusted in man is a blatant lie!
The One Friend I have
God, The Almighty, I reverence You; Father, You’re the Greatest!

Reverence! Reverence!!

Whether a person is rich or poor, there are some basic things that are important in a house before it can be called a home. For example: A house with a roof, door and windows; kitchen and cooking utensils; water: either pipe borne water, rain water or a well and food are all very important in a home.

Yoruba adage said “Home is for rest after the farm or a hard day’s work, hence it is important to have a house for a person to return to. Check out the names and pictures of many household items on this page.
