YouTube channel –Culture Tree Tv Yoruba -was created by a young Nigerian woman, Gbemisola Isimi based in the United Kingdom, to keep her mother tongue Yoruba language alive according to Ventures. With 15 videos so far, the channel launched in April this year has received quite some attention with 431 subscribers so far.
“… I started translating the English nursery rhymes my daughter liked into Yoruba and teaching them to her. This was basically what brought on the idea of CultureTreeTV Yoruba,” she says on the channel
Another Nigerian based in the UK Adebunmi developed a keyboard that supports and enables writing in at least 12 Nigerian languages. Nailangs, multilingual keyboard was born out of the need to keep the languages alive as most are being spoken secondarily after English in Nigeria.
