There are people and there are places
But not like the Yorubas
Whose origin was from the Great Oduduwa who descended from the sky to create Ile-Ife.

There are cultures and there are norms
But not like the Yorubas
Who are identified with tribal marks and compliment the etiquette of greetings.

There are morals and there are courtesies
But not like the Yorubas
Who appreciate the pride of Virginity in marriage and reciprocate being respected.

There are politics and there are laws
But not like the Yorubas
Who rule with dynasty and honour their kings and chiefs.

There is transportation and there are communications
But not like the Yorubas
Who travel by foot and horses and communicate through Aroko, Agogo, Ilu, Fire and Staff.

There are works and there are occupations
But not like the Yorubas
Who work harder on their jobs and major in farming and hunting.

There are drugs and there are vaccines
But not like the Yorubas
Who cherish the ancient trend of roots and leaves for remedies of human maladies.

There are functions and there are festivals
But not like the Yorubas
Who give name following the state of the home and fervently worship their gods faithfully.

There are foods and there are drinks
But not like the Yorubas
Who prefer Okele and Palm wine to direct consumption of grains, leaves and distilled wine.

There are clothes and there are styles
But not like the Yorubas

Who make over with Laali, Atike and Tiroo, plait Suku, Kolese, Ipako-Elede and cut Aso-Oluode, Orididan and Fari-Apakan styles.

There are songs and there are dances
But not like the Yorubas
Who love Rara, Ijala, Ewi and Bata than today's Rhythm & Blues, Hip-Hop, Reggae and Break dance.
