I'm one of those who believe everything should be taught in Yoruba
And these things should be integrated into the curriculum

Thanks for posting this video Honorebu. I love listening to griots. On a different note, is it not sad that we still have some groups killing twins till this very day. As if it is not bad enough to have to earn that it was Mary Slessor who stopped the killing of twins in Nigeria - even as it clear as day that the Yoruba have always had an Orisa Ibeji - right in the FCT, we still have the following groups...

So 2000 is Igba mewa or Egbewa (I think/hope) 45 is Aarun le ni Ogoji (Ogun meji). Or should that be Aarun di ni adota (5 less 50). Can't be too sure about these things 2045 = Egbewa le ni aarun di ni adota. Phew! See, there you go, easy peasy Her Highness, You think I don't know my numeros...? I might have learnt Yoruba formally for one year, but I ranked among the best students at the time. So what's with the '* ' symbol? Is this supposed to denote the multiplication sign? Are you seriously expecting moi to do long-multiplication in ede abinibi, without offering any incentives? Like a trip to see the warm spring of Ikogosi (Ekiti), for instance?

Verity Africa goes on another adventure with Cara 'Titilayo' Oyinbo as we visit Igbo-Ora, Oyo State, Nigeria. Studies have shown that Igbo-Ora has the largest incidence of twins in the world (three sets of twins are born in every 19 births). The locals believe that the village's high incidence of twins is due to their high consumption of Ilasa (okra leaf). Verity and Titilayo go on location to investigate this belief.
