As a younger man I was frequently for some years in Yoruba country, also in Ghana & Togo. It was not too nice there. Lagos, the big harbor in Nigeria, was and I believe still is, one of the most obscenity removed unpleasant places of the entire world - in every aspect!

Here I must correct myself: Yes, they speak English. It's one of the four main languages (in Nigeria). When I brought Yoruba into play I didn't thought so much about, especially not to start a sideshow.

I know transifex - I was already active there (when I remember right), the specific problem is my limited access to internet.

Most sub-Saharan Africans can speak at least two languages, and often three or four, one of which will usually be that of their former colonial rulers, French, English, Portuguese etc - because that is the official language, and what's used at schools and colleges etc.
If not you had told us that, I would have done it now.

Now, back to the roots, oh no ... I mean calibre. I got some more questions in mb/workshop!
