Languages are intangible inheritance.... They are worth fighting for.


My son dat studies linguistics in a Nigerian uni. made jest of d Urhobo people last week, dat, d Urhobo lang. is 1 of d 3 languages rated as dead in southern Nigeria. Yet a supposed custodian (king) didn't see dis coming 9yrs ago. #upu #Urhoborenaissance #MudiAfrica #Trending


In feb.2015, we visited an Urhobo monarch, to campaign 4 d promotion of d language, he said, extinction of d lang. was impossible, yet he communicated wit d wife in pidgin English. Extinction can't b wished away. WE MUST MAKE EFFORTS. #upu #urhoborenaissance #UNESCO #Trending


It's sickening how d govt. would devalue d naira by 180%,cause inflation of d prices of goods, make pple suffer & die, eventually add value 2 it by 60% as against 180%. Yet would expect a pat on d back, otherwise, u are not PATRIOTIC & ur cries are HATE SPEECH. (Not accurate %)


I went somewhere wit my child & a staff queried my tribal name also appearin on her card instead of just d dad's, she claimed 2 hate my pple who are also hers, but was quick 2 identify wit us, why? U can't run away frm d inner you. UR LANG. IS U, SPEAK IT. #unesco #heirsofafrika


Travelled 2 my home town in Dec. 2012, then I saw this advert 4 live chicken "FAWO FOR SALE" . People refuse 2 speak their languages, yet cannot speak or write well, d 1 they want 2 identify with. CHEATING URSELF ON BOTH SIDES. #gogeafrica #upu #urhoborenaissance #TrendingNews


In 1 of our seminars, a parent once asked how 2 raise a child in ur mother tongue, when u can't even speak. D answer is immersion, boarder yourself with native speakers, learn & practice for 600hrs in 6months, 25hrs a week & 4hrs daily. #koshiemills #UNESCO #heirsofafrika


A parent once asked, in 1 of our seminars, how 2 raise a child in ur mother tongue , wen u can't even speak. 2 such parents, immersion is d ans. Boarder urself with native speakers, learn & practice 600hrs in six months, 25hrs a week and 4hrs a day.U CAN'T GIV WHAT U DON'T HAVE.


You want others to trust your judgement, then, treat situations and not people. A loved one does wrong, lovingly point it out and if a rival does well, give it to them. It is called iNtEgRiTy. #TrendingNews


How far gone are you in not raising your child with your African language?.....First, be comfortable with speaking it to and around them, then never mix it with another language. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO START.


D story of slavery & racism against d blacks in d USA,is ban threatened in schools. Dat way,d kids will know notin about their ancestors. Which aspect of d black man's culture is next 2 be banned? D black man's history is part of their culture LET'S FIGHT FOR IT. #heirsofafrika


God Himself is against extinction, even with d ability 2 create new humans & animals in d time of Noah, He still told him 2 take all species of animals in2 d ark 2 by 2. So, why should we force our languages in2 extinction? #upu #africaunion #gogeafrica #UNESCO #heirsofafrika


Wednesday, 21st Feb, 2024 was another International Mother Language Day. In commemoration of the killing of 8 students by the police, for fighting 4 their mother tongue in Bangladesh.(21st Feb 1952) There is freedom to speak your language. AFRICANS! USE IT.


Though Africans complain of black tax & extended family, yet we enjoy d honour and sense of responsibility dat come with it. Our cultures, languages & looks are peculiar 2 us. DON'T RUBBISH DEM. #Africaunion #UNESCO #heirsofafrika #koshiemills #gogeafrica #willsmith #upu


B4, I sold a basin of yam for 4k 2 buy a bkt of rice, 1/2 a keg of veg.oil, 1/2 a pack of spag, 10litres of fuel 4 my lady's bike & still hav bal. Now becos of d exchange rate, all d above are now worth 17k. How much should I sell my locally made yam? #danielregha #TrendingNews


I hate 2 fail and I hate 2 spoil, so, anything given 2 me both directly or indirectly 2 tend, I do everything 2 make it grow & healthy. Hence, I'm fighting 4 my language's life. FIGHT FOR AN AFRICAN LANGUAGE. #UNESCO #upu #urhoborenaissance #gogeafrica #seunkuti #mudiafrica


People are still acting and living right, don't let the mistake or misbehaviour of others push you to do the wrong. In the end, we are all named according to our characters. GOOD or BAD #TrendingNews #AmnestyInternational


If a language dies, so does her culture and her place in history. What do you think? #upu #UNESCO #gogeafrica #urhoborenaissance #seunkuti #mudiafrica


Check this out.... Anyone who prefers someone else's thing, to theirs is suffering from inferiority complex. E.g language, complexion etc. LOVE YOU. #UNESCO #gogeafrica #upu #koshiemils #mudiafrica #TrendingNews
