Former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has made a heartfelt appeal to Nigerians, particularly those with children abroad, to prioritize teaching their wards the Yoruba language and culture. According to Obasanjo, this is crucial in helping them maintain their identity in foreign lands. He emphasized that cultural heritage is a vital part of one’s identity and that it’s essential for Nigerians in the diaspora to ensure their children don’t lose touch with their roots.
Obasanjo’s plea highlights the challenges faced by many Nigerians living abroad, who struggle to balance their cultural identity with the demands of their new environments. By teaching their children the Yoruba language and culture, Nigerians abroad can help them develop a strong sense of self and connection to their heritage.
This is particularly important in today’s globalized world, where cultural assimilation can often lead to the erosion of traditional values and practices. By preserving their cultural heritage, Nigerians abroad can ensure that their children remain connected to their roots and are equipped to navigate the complexities of a multicultural world.
Obasanjo’s call to action serves as a reminder of the importance of cultural preservation and the role that parents play in passing on their heritage to the next generation. His words have resonated with many in the Nigerian diaspora, who are eager to ensure that their children remain connected to their cultural heritage.
