I think the man is a writer and professor of Yoruba studies (may be with a bent for literature). Like most first generation academics specialising in Yoruba studies, he actually had a first degree in a different discipline, in his own case French. I recall once reading him explain that he decided on a detour in his subsequent academic career because a French lecturer once told his class that, they might know all of the grammertical rules in French, but they would never know as much French as he (the lecturer, and a native French speaker) did. Now that was trite, but it was enough to set a young man looking back to his own native language where he would not be that disadvantaged. <BR/><BR/>You may cross-check all of these though. <BR/><BR/>Cheers and well done.<BR/><BR/>DejiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17743811.post-1150607307306116772006-06-17T22:08:00.000-07:002006-06-17T22:08:00.000-07:00Don't they look lovely?
