Brazil Has Made 'Yoruba' An OFFICIAL Language

Brazil Has Made Yoruba an Official Language
The language will also be incorporated into primary and secondary school curriculum in the country, says the Minister of Culture.
Yoruba history and culture has an undeniably strong presence in Brazilian society, due of course, to the Transatlantic slave trade which brought millions of enslaved West Africans to the Americas. Despite the inhumanity they faced, many managed to keep their ancestral culture and traditions alive.

Centuries have passed, and Yoruba influences still continue to thrive in various regions of the country, as many Brazilians maintain a strong relationship with the language and religion. Its influence can be seen through the music, food and spiritual practices of various communities. Last month the Ooni of Ife—the spiritual leader of the Yoruba people—visited the country, where he was met by crowds of Black Brazilians who turned up to pay their respects.

This connection will likely remain strong for future generations, as the language has now become an official foreign language in the country.

Brazil's Minister of Culture, Dr. Sérgio Sá leitão, has said that the language will now be incorporated into primary and secondary school curriculum, reports the Nigerian Voice.

That's great.... But Brazilians dislike Afro Brazilians like white folks dislike African Americans.

I guess it's nice they are making an effort to having a "all inclusive" country.

True and those mixed raced ones will get to learn Yoruba also. Also, this is a step in the right direction on all accounts.

 

[mbewane]

Wow.

Wow.

Step in the right direction.

 

[King Khufu]

dope

 

[AJD]

Wtf

 

[King Khufu]

little known fact: brazil has a large recent African immigrant community from Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Sudan areas. the diaspora practicing the religions for so long and gaining access to better travel back to the homeland to study the religions have also played a role in this.

This is a great read breh

 

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

Congrats to omo Yoruba!

 

[Samori Toure]

Wtf

It makes sense actually. That is where most Nigerian slaves were taken, especially the Yoruba people after Fulani Muslim cleric Usman Dan Fodio collapsed the Yoruba kingdoms of modern day Nigeria.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Brazil about to turn into New Nigeria?

Does Nigeria have a brand new trading partner and access to commercial opportunities?

Does this development improve African opportunities in general?

Aside from all that, it's cool though.

Pretty amazing.
