Nalingo Naija is founded by Yetunde Ayeni-Babaeko and produced by CS-Production, a subsidiary of the well-known photo studio, Camara-Studios; also run by Yetunde Ayeni-Babaeko.

Camara-Studios saw the need for an effective and entertaining representation of the Yorùbá language on digital media. Together with professional Yorùbá Teachers, Yorùbá Professors and Yorùbá Actors of all ages, Babaeko’s team has established a new and effective concept of teaching in a fun way. 

Each video is about two to three minutes long and is divided into two sections. The first one lets you listen to the vocabulary you need to know for the video. The second part of the video is the play between mostly two to three actors. 

The actors speak slowly for the viewer to be able to follow the plot and for easy comprehension. And also, to be able to read the subtitles which are very essential in the learning process. The subtitles in Nalingo Naija are 100% accurate and you do not just have the English subtitles but the Yorùbá subtitles with intonation marks as well.

Nalingo Naija is targeting younger generations, as it is noticed that nowadays Nigerian parents struggle keeping the Yorùbá language in their households alive.

Also, Nigerians in Diaspora and schools/universities teaching indigenous cultures will benefit immensely from this YouTube Channel.

But finally, Nalingo Naija is useful to everyone. Even Yoruba speakers can improve on their spelling and pronunciation with the Nalingo Videos.
