FEYIKEMI ANNOUNCED YORUBA SUMMER PROGRAMME FOR KIDS
Actress and broadcaster, Feyikemi Niyi-Olayinka, has announced a Yoruba Summer program for children aged 3 to 11.
The week-long programme, which will commence on Monday, August 25 and end on Friday, August 29 will hold at Agidingbi Primary School, Agidingbi, Ikeja from 10am to 1pm daily.
“There are lots of ‘edutainment’ activities awaiting your children. Parents,please encourage your children to speak in their mother tongue,” the actress posted on her Facebook page.
Speaking later on the telephone with our correspondent, the actress disclosed that the Yoruba language summer class is one of the activities of her not for profit organisation, Mothers Support Mother Tongue (Awa Egbe Akomolede) inaugurated earlier this year.
“I thank God for my father and mother. You don’t know what motherhood entails until you become a mother. I remember how my mother used to speak to me in idioms and proverbs. That is how we learnt much of the wisdom and native intelligence that keep us going now. But nowadays, many mothers no more speak Yoruba to their children, let alone use proverbs to help sharpen their intelligence. However, we shall be focusing on this during the program,” she said.
The First Lady of Lagos State, Mrs. Abimbola Fashola, was among guests present at the inauguration of Mothers Support Mother Tongue back in May.
