Omokri highlighted instances where Western-born children of Yoruba parents, even after multiple generations abroad, continue to bear Yoruba names and are proficient in the language. He contrasted this with the situation in Nigeria, where he observed a decline in the fluency of native languages and a reluctance to use traditional names.

The social commentator raised concerns about the influence of Westernization on Nigerian children’s identity, citing examples of names like Victor Moses and Joy James becoming more common in the Southern region. He criticized the perceived lack of imagination in choosing such names and expressed sympathy for children who, in his view, were being culturally stripped through their names, clothing, and even skin color.

Omokri emphasized the importance of preserving indigenous languages, pointing to Yoruba as an example where there are university professors solely dedicated to the study of the language. He questioned the presence of similar experts in other Southern Nigerian languages, expressing doubt about the continued vitality of these languages in the future.

Drawing inspiration from the Yoruba community in London, Omokri urged Nigerians to learn from their commitment to preserving their language and culture even in a foreign land. He noted that Yoruba speakers in places like Peckham maintain a strong connection to their roots, showcasing the enduring nature of their linguistic heritage.

In conclusion, Omokri encouraged Nigerians to embrace and celebrate their cultural identity, cautioning against the potential loss of linguistic and cultural diversity in the Southern region over time.
