When I say a yoruba person, I mean a typical Yoruba person. I am a Yoruba man(not a typical one anyway) and I have noticed these pattern of beliefs among the typical ones.

1)If you don't greet them, automatically you are seen as a disrespectful person who lacks home training.

2)Whenever two people are having quarrel,the eldest among them is always considered right,no matter who is truly right, as long as one is older than the other,the eldest is the right one.

3)Getting married to someone outside your tribe is frowned upon and not easily acceptable. They believe people of other tribes are not good enough or that they have less perfect cultures than theirs.

4)Whenever a Yoruba person wants to make a decision, other people's opinion comes at the top of his consideration. If he trains his child,It's because of What other people will say,If he decides not to build a house,It's because of What people will say,If her children are "rude" she feels people are judging her outside. A Yoruba person constantly see others looking at them and judging them even If It's not So.

5)A Yoruba person believes that everybody must see you in a good light,even if they dont like someone,they have to act as if they like the person and must be polite even if you hate the person,its like an expectation that you must be polite and respectful to everyone,especially those of higher class than yours. A typical Yoruba person won't let you know he hates you even If he does.

6)A yoruba person is quick to put the blame of his problems on the devil, the Yoruba person is quick to see almost everything spiritually,even if It's a simple problem that can be solved practically.

7)A Yoruba person sees an introvert or a quiet person as arrogant. If you are a quiet and gentle type and you keep to yourself even If you haven't offended them, they would be quick to conclude that you are proud and full of yourself because you don't talk to them.

8 )Yoruba person doesn't like someone who says the truth at all times. Even though the Yoruba person propagate truth speaking,they don't like people who say the truth just the way they are,they rather like sugar coated half baked truth, that makes everybody feel Happy.

9)Yoruba person believes those who wear good clothes are fornicators and adulterers. Just wear a classy English wear and watch how quick a Yoruba man would call you "oniranu". A lot of their perception about someone is based on appearance.

10)Yoruba people are very superstitious, once they don't like a woman, she becomes a witch immediately even If they know she is a devout Christian, whatever misfortune that befalls them is blamed on the "witch".

11)Yoruba people believe in hearsay very quickly,even when no facts are presented, and they are also good at spreading such an information even if they only heard it from another person.

12)A yoruba man doesnt trust his relatives,especially if they are not from the same mother or father.

Watch and see how the typical Yoruba would insult me on this thread because I just said the truth without sugar coating,despite the fact that I am a Yoruba man.

that's their culture. every tribe has their own culture and beliefs

Not all you wrote are true but majority of them are spot on. That their way of life. That what makes them the Yorubas

Your assertions are much more true than false.

It's unfortunate how people wills to tailure their lives to the whims and caprices of others.

Live your life the way you want it.
Do whatever you wish without minding what this Uche or that Femi will say.
It's your life.

YOLO.

LOL. Guilty conscience. Your expectations from your readers shows the substance that your post is made of: What you sow you expect to reap na. Omo Ale eeyan nii fowo osi juwe ile baba re, omo Ale.

Lmao, the first one showed up......

Still counting......

I said it.

That is what makes us Yoruba ... We are wise and intelligent , critics and we can easily change our opinion/deal because the voice of Ifa/loved-ones is mightier than whatever deal we brokered with ourselves !!

As for children upbringing .... A Yoruba theory states ''Oju-kan ni bimo, Igba-Oju niwoo'' .... Roughly translated as ''Only one person beget a child but multitude of people nurtures such child !!

If you are quiet, they say you are arrogant.
That I know. First hand experience

1. If u passed them 100 times, dey expect u to greet them 100 times.

2. Dey believe their use of words eg adage is d best.

3. Very superstitious, anything that happen to the is from d enemies.

I am Yoruba and none of what the OP stated is true
Believe the crazy liar at your own risk

But it's true na...a devout christians or muslim is an underground witch and wizards. Camouflage things. You let your guard down around them and they strike like vipers. Hehehe

Also, the greetings aspects is spot on. Mostly from the elderly ones. Especially if you are friends with someone that prostrate to greet them and if you do not prostrate you become someone that lacks home training. Regardless of your tribe.

But Dapo777 why you dey provoke for your people na.. ?

Hahahahahahaha So an atheist is a typical Yoruba to you?

Don't worry It's a mistake. When is the next osun festival taking place,I Wld like to participate and probably experience this spiritual thing.

OP

You forgot to add that a typical yoruba woman will help her friends keep malice with you if you have some problems with said friend.

Lol That's true.

Dapo777, everything you posted here are things that happen in everu single tribe, so its not particular to the yorubas alone. But what shall it profit you to speak so I'll of your father land, what point are you hoping to score here, so if your father sleeps with a prostitue often will you still come here to say it? Or if your mother tells you that you are a product of a multiple rape will you still be glad to say it here? No you won't only if you are not yoruba which I strongly believe

What If I revealed to u,I ra.ped ur mum to help ur impotent dad give birth to you? Or that you were adopted together with ur other siblings because ur parents can't give birth,What If I also told you that your pregnancy wasn't planned for by your mum and you were simply an accident?

How does that concern the matter of discussion here. If you are born a basta..rd or ur pregnancy was accidental or you were adopted, how does that concern us here,and why would anyone want to post something personal like that on a public forum?

Or does your "brain" interpret all I wrote above as something personal that shouldn't be shared? Hahahahahahaha, the way a typical Yoruba man thinks is laughable.

If you don't think like a black fowl,would ur chicken brain think I created a Yoruba name in January 2013 just to g against the Yoruba in October 2014,is that What your chicken brain could conclude.

^^^That's a typical Yoruba man up there,silly application of their senses. Intellectually lazy.

Remember I am referring to a typical Yoruba man,not a Yoruba man who happens to be born into Yoruba parents But doesn't behave like they do typically.

^^This response shows that you are an alternate- example of what you mean, 'typical Yoruba'. Your op concerns the direct-examples from your worldview, of which you are sub~real. I am a typical Yoruba man, but not subjective to your sociology.

I have to speak their language for them to understand, a typical Yoruba man needs to add insult to pass across a message,So I have to use insult too before you and other typical yorubas can understand.

You're a very funny man, indeed.

Let's not take him seriously.

That is, leading by example. Sure, you have what you see in others in abundance. Then endless love (passion: love+hate) forced you to acknowledge it under a comfortable mask. If not, this wont be.

So What's ur point now?

If you have Nothing reasonable to say must you comment?

I have decided not to fetch you fresh issues.

Whay the op said is 90% truth but not all but majority of them fall into the category especially 8 9 10 11

Another thing is insult...is it a norm in yoruba land...if u price good in market and dont buy the yoruba will call u alaroro

Then if u try to play wit them they call u agbaya

They curse their kids so much
