From time immemorial Yoruba presenters are believed to be old and indigenous in all ramifications. While it was slightly possible to come across a few young men doing their thing in their native language on radio, young female Yoruba OAPs are like white lions, a very rare breed.
In recent times, advocacy for the Yoruba language has been strong. Different organizations and bodies are encouraging young people to embrace their native language and be proud of it whenever and wherever. In our bid to lend our voice to this commendable campaign and stay true to our core values at Primus Media, we have decided to beam our searchlight on 5 pretty and gorgeous young ladies who are making a definite statement by sticking to their native language on radio.
