Yoruba Home Training - Web Help List by Olamijulo S.K. http://www.hopeafricaepublisher.com/yohtlist0107.html January 2007 From this year 2007 onwards, it is cardinal that Yorubas unite in deliberately encouraging and assisting one another to bring back the speaking, reading and writing of Yoruba in Yoruba People homes worldwide, irrespective of what other languages Yorubas are able to  speak, read or write. We require no further Government or other official intervention to personally get on with this widely neglected personal and family responsibility. Following are some suggestions and helpful Internet links for all who seriously desire to Read, Write, Speak, Sing, Watch, Learn, Think and Dream in Yoruba. Please encourage and assist all others worldwide who have, or should have, the desire to do likewise. WE SHALL CONSTANTLY PRAY AND LABOR FOR PEACE, UNITY AND PROGRESS AMONG ALL YORUBAS FROM WHEREVER WE ARE LOCATED WORLDWIDE. P2.  YORUBA INTERNET RADIO , RCCG INTERNET RADIO AND RADIO ABEOKUTA P3.
