The former Vice-Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University, Prof. Wande Abimbola, once warned that Yoruba language faces the threat of extinction in the next 50 years if urgent steps were not taken to revive it during the third Odua Distinguished Lecture papers where he complained that the essence of Yoruba culture, which included songs, dance, dress and language, had been neglected by the government and individuals.
Abimbola had charged government, parents and guardians to endeavour to allow the young to communicate in Yoruba as this would aid learning of science and technology. His assertion then was supported by the world increasingly recording high cases of endangered languages. Endangered language is a language that is at risk of falling out of use as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural organization (UNESCO) warned that some Nigerian languages are at the risk of dying out and falling out of the communication choice.
