Making a Grand Comeback Ft Bukky Wright

Do you think that, because I do hear some people when they try to compare Yoruba movies and English movies, sometimes they feel like maybe Yoruba movies are more, how do I put it, authentic.

And sometimes it feels like maybe it's because they're speaking in their natural dialect.

Do you agree with that? I would tell you that

a language movie is always as authentic as anything.

And that way, it gives you the opportunity to express Your inner self, naturally, because it's a language thing.

And there's this beauty around Yoruba language that I don't know if our parents knew back then.

or if our mothers today still understand, there's this thing about Yoruba language, or let me say Nigerian language generally.

You know, when I hear the Igbo speak,

I'm like, oh my goodness, this is beautiful.

When I hear the Yoruba people speak, it sounds so amazing.

And, you know, when you now hear the Aose people or the other Nigeria languages, because we have a lot of languages, we are blessed in Nigeria.

Yeah.

And it's just amazing that we do not understand it.

We do not appreciate it.

Yeah.

But maybe because I have lived abroad.

Yeah.

So it made me really appreciate our language.

It made me appreciate our culture, our heritage and background.

I think maybe it's also changing now.

It's interesting to hear that even back then, parents were saying, speak English, speak Vanakola.

But now, recently, I think it was Peter who got on the fire for saying that his children couldn't speak the native language.

So I think maybe...

There's a reawakening.

What do you think? I just feel that we all should understand the beauty of our culture, our languages, and our heritage.
