I'm a Yoruba. The word 'Yoruba' has come to stay as brand name for a well-known Nigerian triba and popular language beside. Historieans and griots have a thousand and one accounts for the name's origin. The most popular of them is that which holds that it has its root in the Arab cum Hebrew name, 'Yar' ba', which metamorphosed to its present nativised form -Yoruba. Yoruba has a huge onomastic significance to its bearers and speakers - it signifies our life, love, unity, empire, oneness, brotherhood, culture, tradition, history and a lot more. I can really help you do a linguistic and cultural detail of Yoruba. You can contact me on Nigeriakan@gmail.com |

I have observed that over a couple of weekends now, I have been seeing threads on topics related to "which part of the country one stays", "state of origin", "school attended" etc. Please people these may seem harmless, but I am certain with tiny bits of such info here and there someone can actually build one's profile accurately. I am not trying to scare anyone but to my people on NL this is online forum, anyone could be anything. So for heaven sake be mindful of the info you let out online. Thanks. 2 Likes |

Nimen: Thanks...forgive my grammar... any and all info is appreciated. I am using it as a means for studying. I'll know what the ethnic group name means along with its history (once I learn it)...all in all I'm trying to learn and have some knowledge about African ethnic groups. West African in particular because I Black American and most of the slaves taken came from that area. |

heo88:Well i can say the Christians are the majority like 60% and Muslims 35% with a small percentage practicing the traditional religion of the Bura people, as for the language almost everybody understands Hausa with a few exceptions among the really old folks, but this is not so with the Kanuri language. Its kind of like everbody speaks their own language and then Hausa alongside; which is a universal language in the north. Thanks for your interest! and i'd be happy to answer any more questions 2 Likes |
