Why Yoruba and Hausa Are Taught in U.S. Schools
For years, Fulbright scholarships have funded Yoruba and Hausa language teachers to educate students in U.S. universities, but Igbo is missing from the curriculum. Many Igbos have pointed to marginalization as the cause. However, the deeper issue lies in the lack of concerted efforts to promote the Igbo language and culture at the academic level. Yoruba and Hausa have gained recognition through continuous advocacy, institutional support, and cultural pride—traits the Igbo community has yet to embrace fully.
Yoruba and Hausa speakers have taken pride in their heritage, embedding their languages into African Studies programs worldwide. Meanwhile, Igbo culture’s promotion has been superficial, limited to social gatherings rather than integrated into educational curriculums. While scholars globally study Yoruba and Hausa, Igbo remains marginalized due to the lack of a strategic push from within the community.

The reality is that American scholars and institutions go where the interest lies. Yoruba and Hausa have developed robust academic and cultural representation, while Igbo efforts are often more performative, lacking the depth needed to create lasting change. To secure a future for the Igbo language in academic spaces, the Igbo community must prioritize authentic cultural advocacy and academic engagement.

Elon Musk’s $1 Million Giveaway Under DOJ Investigation for Potential Legal Violations
Elon Musk’s recent $1 million giveaway has drawn attention from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which is reportedly scrutinizing the legality of the contest. This giveaway, widely promoted on social media, promised substantial cash prizes to select followers but has now raised concerns about compliance with federal sweepstakes laws. The DOJ’s focus is on whether the giveaway followed proper disclosures and legal requirements, including fair entry rules and transparency. This legal scrutiny adds a new layer of complexity to Musk’s ventures, as he continues to attract both media and regulatory attention with high-profile initiatives. The case underscores the importance of adhering to regulations, even in promotional activities led by influential public figures. The outcome could impact future online giveaways hosted by prominent personalities.
