2nd Conference of the Nigerian Languages Project
The 2nd Conference of the Nigerian Languages Project (CNLP) which was postponed due to the COVID 19 pandemic is still on hold. The conference will provide an opportunity to listen to the reports of the work done so far in the NLP. The conference will, in addition, provide a forum for linkage and collaboration between speakers of indigenous Nigerian languages, groups and cooperate bodies interested in the documentation and development of Nigerian languages. There will also be a platform for sharing and strengthening working groups to cover the six Geopolitical Zones.

The Origin of "Eh Soom Boo Kawaya"
At
the pinnacle of success, the background of a phenomenal star is almost
forgotten. So it is with “Eh Soom Boo
Kawaya”. This Nigerian folksong has become an international folksong
performed by kids all over the world. A click on the internet reveals a global
coloration of performances of the song by kids from different races. However,
as every brand is traceable to its maker, the origin, the meaning and the
composers of this internet sensation have not been attributed to any group or
tribe in Nigeria. This is an attempt to investigate the origin of “Eh Soom Boo Kawaya”.
