There are many ways of promoting Yoruba culture and arts on the net. Various Yoruba works of art such as cinema, pictures, articles, song and folklores can be publicised on the net. We need to showcase Yoruba culture to all people through various network by enlightening the world about what is good in Yoruba land and Africa as well. This will enable other Nations of the world to have a better perspective of Yoruba culture and Africa as a whole.
In recent times, in spite of the fact that Africa is a large continent, it easy to find many things on English/Europe on the Net, than finding anything on Africa. As a result, there is an ample opportunity to publish Yoruba culture through the Net. Promoting Yoruba/African culture and language on the Internet will expose this beautiful culture to the entire world.
The more publications on Yoruba culture, using Yoruba language, images/pictures, video, news and various Yoruba fables/folklores on the Internet, the easier it will become to search for such on Google. This will enhance the creation of search engines in Yoruba language or more recognition of Yoruba language and culture on Google Search, Wikipedia, nairaland.com for Yoruba speakers. This is a beautiful way of communicating in Yoruba. It is hoped, that soon, it will become easier to search for information on Africa in Yoruba language in Nigeria.

Thanks for your insight and encouragement regarding the preservation of the Yoruba culture. It is unfortunate that some ‘yoruba women’ now have decided to show how ‘whorish’ and promiscuous they can be, when some of them claimed to be “arrived actress” this means they are supper stars. How do we know them? They show their precious breast as ad materials and the y think it was fashionable. “Were dun nwo ko se bi lomo, Asewo dun ‘logba ko se fe sile” . It’s time for the yoruba women to uphold their virtue and beauty especially when it becomes a media concern.
I really like your posts. I have been coming to read here for a while now. I cannot read the yoruba part, but I now started to learn some yoruba words (via memrise.com). Further I have the help of my yoruba boyfriend, but if you know any other free possibilities to learn yoruba, please guide me.
As we want to raise our child (to come next month) in Dutch and Yoruba, I find it important that I understand it more and more and also the culture surrounding it.
Thanks for your interest in Yoruba Language and culture as well as your interest to follow The Yoruba Blog. You are doing the right thing so far. If you go to the Learning Category on theyorubablog, there are many slides with recordings in Yoruba language with related translation: for greetings, conversation, names of parts of the body, counting etc where you can learn how to pronounce Yoruba words. You can enquire from us any Yoruba word you want to know. Keep up the conversation in Yoruba with your boyfriend. wishing you safe delivery.
