The Western family is made up of, father, mother and their children but this is not so, as Yoruba family on the other hand is made up of extended family that includes; father, mother, children, half/full brothers/sisters, step children, cousins, aunties, uncles, maternal and paternal grandparents. Yoruba people love respecting the elders, as a result, uncles and aunties that are older than one’s parents are called ‘Father’ or ‘Mother’ and elders are not called by their names as they are either called by their children’s name or by description (example Lagos Father, Ibadan Mother) Check the explanation and prononciation below.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

During the “Free Education Programme in the Western State of Nigeria” that was created by the Politicians led by Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Primary School pupils are thought the song below to teach respect for parents. At that period, many parents denied themselves of food, worked hard or even sell their properties in order to provide for their children and to educate them in the Higher Institutions. It is only apt for such children to respect such parents.

The child that disobey his/her parent

Will suffer poverty in the end

The child that disobey his/her father

Will suffer poverty in the end

Your mother suffered so much for you

Your father suffered so much for you

A child that disobey his/her parent

Will suffer poverty in the end

A child that disobey his/her father

Will suffer poverty in the end
