Man hails Ademola’s Lookman’s speech and attire at CAF Awards
The man, Omojowo Gowon Ajosanmi, observed that though Lookman has been around English people, he still showcased Nigerian culture by wearing his agbada and speaking in the Yoruba language.
He noted that the traditional attire Lookman wore was as interesting as the Yoruba he spoke.
In a Facebook post, the man also noted that some persons were ashamed to speak Yoruba publicly.
His words:
“The Yoruba he spoke was as interesting to me, as his traditional Yoruba attire with a Nigerian identity as the award he won. Someone who has lived half his life where English is spoken still finds it so appropriate to speak the Yoruba language and associate himself with the culture, but one arowodaku from Ile oluji will be too ashamed to speak Yoruba. Congratulations to him.”
