Social media users have reacted to a video of the Ooni of Ife interacting in Yoruba with an American professor.

 In the video, the female academic seemed to have an above-average grasp of the language as she conversed with Ooni of Ife.

People around stared at the duo in amazement as they discussed in public the Yoruba culture.

Though Nigeria is home to over 500 languages, only English is the official language and oftentimes people who break into their native tongues when conversing are tagged to be speaking vernacular.
