About Me

Hello and welcome! I am Gbemi Ibrahim - a linguist with a deep appreciation for language, culture, and the enduring power of storytelling. I hold a Master’s degree in English Literature from the University of Leeds, UK, and I’m certified in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). My passion lies at the intersection of English and Yoruba—two vibrant linguistic worlds that shape how I think, write, and teach. I explore and share content on English Language, English Literature, Yoruba Language, and Yoruba Literature, with a special love for Yoruba proverbs and the timeless wisdom they offer. This blog is my creative space—a place where I reflect, research, and celebrate language in all its beauty, from the elegance of Shakespeare to the genius of Soyinka, from grammar tips to the richness of African oral traditions. Whether you’re a fellow word lover, a curious reader, or just passing through, I’m glad you stopped by. Some know me as Yoruba with AuntieGbemi, others as Vick Ibrah—but you can simply call me Gbemi.
