Corps Members at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Lagos began their day today with an interactive Yoruba language lecture facilitated by Mrs. Beatrice Fayintan, introduced as “Oluko,” which translates to “teacher” in English.
The lecture provided Corps Members with valuable insights into the rich cultural heritage of the Yoruba people, enabling them to engage more effectively with community members during their service years.
By acquiring a basic understanding of the Yoruba language, Corps Members are better equipped to foster meaningful connections and interactions within their respective environments.
During the lecture, various aspects of the Yoruba culture were covered, including greetings, exchanging pleasantries, making inquiries, pronunciation of alphabet sounds, numbers, parts of the body, days of the week, and months of the year.
Corps Members were actively engaged in speech and practical demonstrations to reinforce their learning.
The Yoruba language session provided Corps Members with valuable insights into the local culture and language, empowering them to engage more effectively with the communities they serve during
their service year.
