The Importance of Wearing Shoes: Titilayo Oyinbo and UI Classmates
As an assignment for a 400 level class at University of Ibadan, Titilayo Oyinbo and her classmates make a presentation at St. Matthews Primary School in Ibadan about why wearing shoes outside is important for children. Watch the presentation and to see more of Titilayo's endeavors in Nigeria, visit northoflagos.wo....

a little smile a little thoughtfulness will make the world a happier place. Welldone Titi and co.
This awesome! They didn't just tell them about wearing shoes but provided shoes for them. This is an example of what i call "brightening the corner where you're" Good job guys.
I will like to support the work that she is doing if they accept donations. I think we need to support people like Titi. Her work in Nigeria is obviously immeasurable. Thanks.
Sometimes we can take the smallest things for granted, like simply wearing shoes. Seeing the smiles on these children brought a smile to my face.
Titilayo God Bless you, am proudly Yoruba forever. Omo Odua Ni mi. i Sight you from Belgium
Nice work Titilayo keep it up,this is real service to humanity instead of our churches to learn from u they accumulate jet and wealth.u are blessing to ur generation.
this made lots of memories come all the way back ... reminds me of the days I spent teaching (like many other corps members) in a similar village grammar school during NYSC year in OYO , OYO state. These kids do show genuine interest and could blosom given the right opportunities. Great job titilayo and company. I pray more of us will genuinely feel the need to engage in activities like this. God help and bless us all.
wonderfull..seeing the smiles on their faces gave me goosebumps :)
Great job, titi and team. more blessings to you for blessing the kids with new pairs of shoes. Eku ise Titi ati Egbere gbogbo. Owo yin a maa ro ke o, bi e se bukun awon omo ile eko yi, oluwa a maa bukun fun eyin naa o. Amin
Titi, is just unbelievable!!
schools like this especially public schools would always be an integral part of Nigeria my mom went to such a school and she didn't wear shoes and todays shes a retired unicef official my friend went to such a school today a Columbia med grad. those kids that ur looking at are future doctors and lawyers as long as we have corrupt and greedy officials in Nigeria schools like that would always exist. if you think its unpleasant go and do something about it
Titi & Friends, God bless you!
I'm impressed!
Thanks Titi.. You are doing a good job.
Very nice...good job
The students' uniform reminded me of the uniform we wore when I was a primary school student at Ahmadu Bello University Staff School in Zaria.
awesome .. much love from croatia
This is so nice God bless you Titi...
@olumideoku Well said, & I wish her goodluck
this absolutely beautiful...
Aww this made me smile...good job Titi!!
If a foreigner had to do this for us, distributing sandals, uniform, etc for students in our own country... Then I ask myself what am I doing?? .. What are we doing as Nigerian?? Just look around your environment ... We blame our leaders .. Fine it's their fault.. but what are we doing individually?? ....waiting for a WHITE PERSON to do it like what TITILAYO is doing??... I really admire this...So touching and Impressed.. Wish her Goodluck and God Bless you more..
I love these series of videos that you are making, I would like to know what has motivated you to embrace the culture and learn the language.
The children are our future love this culture so much they Worry about shoes while people here in the west worry about the latest iPhone.

@drealgeorge Sometimes people hit the dislike button by mistake wanting to hit the like button. Its happened to me before but youtube cannot make you revert you mistake. KZread needs to make this function possible.

Impressive good job
Ese o, Titilayo ati ore ni, ema se o
it doesn't matter where we are, us black people always gotta add a beat when we sing haha love it!
Hi Titi! This video really touched me n inspired me to start a shoe drive for a region in Nigeria. I'm a 3rd year medical student in Florida but I'm originally nigerian, can you help with suggestions as to how to go about it. I understand this was just an assignment but maybe you have an advice as to who to contact and all that. Hope to hear from you- Seyi
Humans evolved to live without shoes. See Harvard's Dan Lieberman for research. Wearing regular, flat shoes is not without consequences. Your toes get all squeezed together and end up being all packed in a compressed manner. Our toes are supposed to spread apart and play an active role in our balance and coordination. Wearing shoes makes our toes weaker and makes us lose our power of traction on the ground, which is very useful. Another problem is that our foot arch gets weaker because it doesn’t have to work that much. This leads to flat feet and all kinds of problems related to them. When you go back to being barefoot all the time, the muscles in your feet will get stronger and your arch will regain its normal strength and vitality. A lot of people who have to wear orthotics because of flat feet report developing a much stronger arch after returning barefoot for a couple of months. Then, comes the problem of over pronation or over supination. This comes from the fact that, with shoes, our feet doesn’t land on the ground normally. The foot tends to land on the heel instead of the ball of the foot, which ends up creating problems either of pronation or supination because the mechanics of each step you make is slightly wrong.
Loved this !
@debbiea1223 I understand your point, but to be honest with you, a nigerian person with the long foreign name like onuwoufalefsiti oniowalefe will be discriminated and will be looked down upon by several employers when seeking a job. You can't deny that, there is even research pinpointing this. Yes, it would be nice for us to embrace our african names (i have an igbo middle name), but having an african first name does not signify appreciation of one's culture. SO many other factors, dance, etc.
This is brilliant, but I don't think titi should have changed her name to Nigeria name. Her real name should have been recognised and acknowledged for the good work she's doing in Nigeria.
oriyin nla fun titilayo oyinbo, fun itaniji, fun awon tio ri awon ti won ngbe aiye to kudie kato. ki oluwa ran e lowo ati ori ile ede usa, nitori wipe igbese yi je itani lologo fun awon ti won ni ki wonle ma ran awon ti koni lowo. ati papa julo ki awon olori wa ye fi owowa sofo mo ni ori ile ede to gbinaya
*any advice
The Children are put into fear by the University students, 4:51. Can you explain that? Why so?
Titi, o seun pupo
AWWWWH
...with a teleprompter!
who was the one who disliked the video? did you miss your bus??
I'm I d only one that saw those Sheeps at 0:35 lol
i thot it was funny that a white girl embraced the Yoruba name Titilayo but the nigerian girl says her name is Sandra ... we need to embrace our culture and its uniqueness ... I also find it amusing that when Nigerians come to the western world, we change our names to feel accepted ... other than in situations where u know u will be discriminated against e.g getting a job or what not ... I really do not see the need ...
@debbiea1223 AMEN!
Yoruba calls herself Sandra, White woman calls herself Titilayo?
what a shameful i konw nigeria government will see all these?
Lol she has Nigerian mannerism somehow
