dc.description.abstract | The superimposition of Yoruba language on other languages of Ilorin linguistic groups accentuated a general perspective that tagged Yooba'lorin (Yoruba Ilorin, that is, linguistic status of Ilorin speech community). The choice of this topic premised on general adoption and application of the Yooba'lorin to taunt, mimic, satirize, praise, commend, decry or condemn Ilorin speakers by some core Yoruba speaking people, whenever the need arises. Contemporarily, the Yooba'lorin is widely used by Yoruba performing artists as tool in exhibition of language style, while on stage, Some Yoruba musicians are not left out in the usage of Yooba'lorin in some of their records as well as whenever they are singing on stage. The context of this topic appraised Yooba'lorin as one of the factors that aided relations among the Yoruba speaking people of Nigeria. The study aimes at exploring and analysing the selected Yooba'lorin, over the sustenance of integration and co-existence among the nations of Yoruba and Nigeria at large. The paper examines the inception of the patterned integration and co-existence of the Ilorin Emirate so as to provide a pattern for many nations. The work adopts interview, observation, participant and analysis method of data collections. The paper concludes that Yooba'lorin (linguistic status of Ilorin speech community) has been existing as tool, weapon and strategy of perpetual structured culture/literature of the Emirate. | en_US |
