“A #Yoruba man travels to #Brazil and encounters a #religion built from traditions that people back home in #Nigeria had learned to distrust.
The experience forces a question: how did Yoruba religion survive the Atlantic but become estranged from the people it came from?
…
“Both #religions were foreign. #Islam arrived earlier, through North African trade and political expansion, and captured my grandparents’ generation. That made them chief imams. #Christianity came through organized missionary infrastructure and later Pentecostal revivalism. That made my parents pastors. What this meant for me was a near-total estrangement from any #indigenous Yoruba #religiousSystem; despite growing up in a Yoruba-majority state in Nigeria, speaking the language fluently and understanding most of its social codes.”https://rpublc.com/story/2026/05/24/culture-and-society/reclamation-across-the-atlantic

Have you ever wondered why most Nigerians can't speak British English despite being a former British colony? It is simple. Before the British came, Nigerians already had their own native languages (e.g., Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Bini). When English was introduced, it was mainly used in schools and offices—not at the market, within families, or with neighbors and friends. While many Nigerians can write English perfectly, they often prefer or default to other linguistic layers in daily conversation.
The everyday Nigerian linguistic pattern looks like this:
Mother tongue at home.
Pidgin English with friends.
British English in school, work, and offices.
