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.

Though we have written about names and pictures of Animals in Yoruba in the past article but according to Yoruba adage meaning “Knowledge has no end”, we included corrections as pointed out by a “Professor of Yoruba Language”. For the assistance of non-Yoruba speakers but who are curious, we have included the pronunciation in picture slides in Part 1.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Ostrich is the biggest and has the largest eggs among the birds. The long neck and legs made it taller than all the other birds. Ostrich is also the fastest runner on land more than all the birds. This is why Yoruba crowned Ostrich as the King of Birds. Many wild birds such as Ostrich are almost extinct as a result of the expansion of towns and cities displacing the wild birds which can now be seen at the Zoo.

There are various types of birds in Yoruba land, the most common at home or in town (domestic birds) are: Chicken (Cock and Hen), Duck, Pigeon, Guinea Fowl, Parrot, and Peacock. The common wild birds that are known in the town or communities are: Falcon/Kite, Eagle, Owl, Vulture and Cattle-egret. Birds are of various colours, one species of bird can come in various colours, while some are black like the dye, some are red like the camwood, and some are white, but the Yoruba song on this page depicted the common colours that are peculiar with some species of birds. For example, Cattle-Egret are white like chalk, Blue Turaco are coloured like the dye and Red Turaco are reddish like the camwood. Check out the pictures and prononciation of some of the birds that are common in Yoruba land on this page.

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

In the olden days, people move about by walking from one place to the other, this was before the advent of the modern means of transportation. Horses were only found in the Kings and Chief’s house due to the ecology of the Yoruba region which is surrounded by thick forest. According to the modern Yoruba adage “Legs are faster than vehicle wears the body out”. This can be applied to the ancient people because the journey that they had to walk for thirty (30) days is not more than six (6) hours journey in a car or forty (40) minutes by air.

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

I really had a nice time during the last Easter/Spring holiday because I spent the holiday with my paternal uncle (my father’s older brother) and his family in Lagos.

Lagos is a very big city, with many tall buildings, so much various vehicles than in my home town. My uncle’s house is very big. I was given a room to myself. My room had a bathroom and toilet of its own.

My father and mother took me to Ikare-Akoko garage in Ondo State where I boarded public transport to Lagos and from that experience, I discovered that Lagos is so far from my home town. Among the towns I saw on the way were, Owo, Akure, Ile-Ife and Ibadan. We stopped over at Ilesa junction to buy bean fritters. My uncle and his wife were at hand at Ojota motor-park in Lagos to drive me to their home.

Every day, my uncle and his wife took me on a visit to various places in Lagos. On Good Friday, I was taken to church, the service was a sober one as a play on the crucifixion of Jesus was acted, but on Easter Sunday, the service was beautiful as there were many gaily dressed people in the church. I wore one of the newly clothes my uncle’s wife bought for me for Easter celebration. From the Sunday school, we as children joined the main church with dancing. At the end of the church service we were all served food (containing rice and big chicken lap). On Easter Monday (known as Galilee), we went for picnic at the beach. At first I was afraid of seeing such a large expanse of body of water, but later as I noticed that there were many people including children at the beach, my fear was gone. We ate different types of food, we danced and I rode a horse at the beach.

The school holiday was almost over, after two weeks, my uncle and his wife took me back to the bus terminal with various gifts for people at my home town. I was sad, I did not want to go back to my home town because I had so much fun in Lagos.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Scientists observed that human activities are contributing to the rapid change of environment as a result of environmental pollution. From time immemorial, climate had always changed but the change in recent years has been more rapid than usual.

According to a Yoruba adage “a forewarn war does not kill a wise cripple”. It is time to heed the warnings on rapid climate change by Scientists. Scientist are sounding the alarm on the effect of environmental pollution on global warming and the need for human being to rectify the situation. The Environmental Scientist have been making presentation on climate change at the United Nations for sometime now.

Some of the factors contributing to environmental pollution are vehicles/automobile, electric generators, factory machines, but Scientist specifically pointed out among other things plastic or petrochemical products such as plastic bottles, plastic bags, plastic wraps, plastic toys etc as a major contributor to rapid climate change.

Leaf wrap, paper or cardboard boxes are more environmentally friendly unlike the plastic products that are used in modern time. Unlike plastic products, when leaf, paper or cardboard box are dumped on dumpsite, it decomposes without causing any danger to earthworm, snail and other small insects. Likewise, when various leaf wrap, paper or cardboard are dumped into the river/sea, it poses no danger like plastic products that are dangerous to fish and other sea creatures.

If the use of petrochemical products cannot be totally eradicated, some actions can be taken to address the warning by Scientist, to reduce drastically the use of plastic products such as plastic wrap/bags. Many European countries have enacted laws on the reduction of the use of plastic products, while some introduced tax on plastic bags in order to encourage the use of re-usable bags. If it is important to wrap food, leaf wrap should be used in place of plastic wrap. The use of re-usable bags should be encouraged, using bamboo basket, clay pots to cook and keep food warm and reducing the use of plastic products will contribute to reducing rapid climate change.

Some actions that can be taken by the government are, enacting laws that could reduce environmental pollution, creation of waste/garbage recycling plants to process plastic waste for reuse and timely waste/garbage disposal.

The people, particularly the youths should embark on clearing the plastic waste that has polluted the river and the environment. Planting of trees and creation of excess rain water collection pit in form of artificial lake could reduce the effect of global warming.
