I had a great time on Masoyinbo, exploring the importance of Yoruba in our society and why we must preserve the language, celebrate our culture and pass our rich heritage on to future generations.
Yoruba is more than a language. It is part of our identity, history, values and what connects us as a community. While our diversity is one of our greatest strengths, preserving our indigenous languages is a responsibility we all share.
Building a greater Lagos means investing not only in infrastructure and public services but also in our people, culture and values. We must work together to keep our heritage alive for generations to come.
Masoyinbo is doing a wonderful job of preserving our heritage while keeping us informed and entertained, whether in Lagos or anywhere else in the world.

I have missed my daughter's first steps. I have missed several Eid. I have missed birthdays.
I nearly went blind and deaf. I nearly missed my own father's Janaza prayers when he passed away. That is what I have given.
I have slept in the bush with mosquitoes as my pillow. I have been shot at. I have seen friends die beside me. I have carried wounded colleagues on my back.
I have been shot at. I have been ambushed. I have seen friends d!£ beside me. I have carried wounded colleagues on my back and prayed they would live. I have written letters to widows. I have attended funerals of men I called brothers.
I have stood at checkpoints in the scorching sun. I have walked through forests in the rain. I have left my family so that yours can sleep in peace. #Sentinel
