YOUR LANGUAGE AFFAIRS PROVIDER IN NIGERIA

Since its inception in 2012, Yobamoodua Cultural Heritage (YMCH), a language service provider at the forefront of language resuscitation, preservation, and archiving in Lagos, Nigeria, has served as a hub for cultural heritage development and linguistic initiatives.

Throughout the globe, the language barrier is a communication barrier. Therefore, YMCH is in the industry to take the burden off you and ease & lubricate the communication barrier, just as palm oil lubricates. At YMCH, we proffer language solutions to individuals and other multinational and international companies that aim to scale up or expand their operations through our top-notch internationalisation, human language translation, localization, transcreation, and interpretation, including voice-over services.

Beyond language services, YMCH is also a home for oral tradition. Through oral poetry and storytelling, we bring Yorùbá folktales, proverbs, chants, and cultural narratives to life for contemporary audiences, reawakening indigenous knowledge systems that have been passed down through generations and reimagining them for stage, screen, and digital platforms. Our storytelling practice draws on years of engagement with African oral literature, using performance as a tool to preserve heritage, educate, and connect communities to their roots.

We also offer excellent language research and personalized education tailored to the needs of our language learners. Language education at YMCH takes an interactive approach to learning and pedagogy. We discuss with our students to understand their needs and gaps in order to provide the best possible educational support and experience for them while they take classes.

All translation projects handled by YMCH are implemented in accordance with your instructions & guides to fulfill and present professional work. Our translators do the task with adequate consideration of the content context. Likewise, our voice-over artiste and production team do justice to your campaign from script to production.

YMCH’s language services and solutions are powered by our most valuable resource: OUR PEOPLE.

Early in the year 2022, a paradigm shift ensued as YMCH was contracted by one of the leading translation companies in the world, TAUS, to localize over three million words from English into the three major languages in Nigeria, viz. Hausa, Igbo, and Yorùbá, respectively. Hence, this contract took YMCH to a new horizon, and YMCH came on board in the multilingual market; we have since moved from a monolingual to a multilingual service provider.
