The Paróte Podcast

One of the major reasons responsible for the endangerment of some languages in Nigeria is that of dominance. The ‘bigger’ languages dominate and suppress the ‘smaller’ ones into extinction. On this episode, we try to point out that up North, there are more languages than your fingers and toes and count. Hausa is just one out of many. Happy learning.

Names are a powerful tool. A form of prophecy on what the parents hope the live of their child turns out to be. In this episode, we have the pleasure of having Mr. George Lambert, founder of Gwol Heritage Group with whom we discussed extensively about the cultural heritage of the Berom people and why they bear such unique names.

As already been established, Nigeria is home to hundreds of languages. On this episode, we talk to our guest, Lawuna Yilwada, founder of Sombi Africa about the diversity and similarities between the languages in the Middle-belt region.

Language learning can be tricky and challenging but on the upside, it can also be easy and fun. In this episode, Paróte highlights how you can navigate through these challenges so you can have a fun-filled learning experience.

A show that brings you up close and personal with Nigerian cultures and languages.
