I’m khadiijah AJOKE Bakare,founder of YorùbáChamps. A homeschool teacher/coach, a Yorùbá curriculum developer, story writer and Yorùbá rhymes composer.

I have been teaching for years, dealing with children on a “differential learning style”, that is, a child moves at his or her own pace. We see Yorùbá children home and abroad drop this language for foreign languages and the fear of this language becoming extinct prompted the invention this online class, “YorùbáChamps”.

Deep research further revealed that our being engrossed in religion other than the Yorùbá traditional religion pulls parents away from enrolling their wards for a Yorùbá language class. This motivated me more, because l know l can teach the language without tampering with the kid’s faith.

So, we started by putting up adverts for people to see and know what we’re doing. We do this in a unique way. Not the usual traditional and common method of teaching and learning our dear wisdom ladened Yorùbá language. No wonder someone once sent us a message on Facebook, saying,
” I love the concept You use in teaching Yorùbá language. You have indeed carved your niche. Allahuma Baarik”.
