ORATICLE 2.0

A Public Speaking Competition for Youths

WHAT IS ORATICLE?

Oraticle (Sorogbayi) is an English and Yoruba public speaking competition among youths. Its major intent is the need to refocus the minds of young people towards bringing up solutions to manifest societal gaps and challenges rather than complain without results.

It also seeks to build a new crop of young leaders with adept and creative communication and public presentation skills. In addition, it is aimed at preserving the Yoruba Language as part of our culture and promoting the use of
English Language-our national mode of communication.

The maiden edition-ORATICLE 1.0-in 2017 focused on the theme: *“Good leaders, Good Followers” with the finalists making
