E ku ise o, omo daada, Olorun yio maa ran e lowo, amin. I live in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, am also a journalist, a broadcaster, and news presenter.

We have a RADIO PROG here called “tiwa n tiwa’. and all our listners had been yearning to have you spoken to on our program. The program is mainly for Yoruba listners

The program runs from 6pm-8pm on sundays. We could be connected on phone ..1347 989 1871 or google… tiwa n tiwa on the internet, you can also listen to our previous episodes.
I heard sometimes that you are back in America. Am happy because you can now speak unadulterated YORUBA, more grease to your elbow

Great job! Just an aside, they’re Youth Corpers, not corporals. NYSC is National Youth Service Corps. I think it was modeled after the Peace Corps. So we derived ‘Corpers’ from Corps! I guess it’s now legitimate Nigerian English.

Hello Titi,
I am a fan of your blog. I live in Chicago. I am impressed with your blog. I lived 10 years in Nigeria and my parents are from there. I struggled with speaking the language because I hated people laughing when I spoke, but your courage has really inspired me to take my language seriously and teach It to my kids as well.
I was wondering if you’ve run into Christain Purefoy from CNN over there? I also think you should talk to HBO because they love news/documentaries like yours.They may turn it into a documentary.

hey Titi,

Its cool hearing u speak my tongue again. I’ll love to hear u use the yoruba accent in pronouncing english words when used in the midst of yoruba words, especially when u said 2011 and accreditation in the video…the syllables are usually slowly stressed…

You make me feel proud of my culture, thanks and eku ise aunti Titi.

  You should improve your English spelling. Accent, not ascent, my friend. E ku se jare
