Scholars throughout the world that have studied the Yoruba Culture and Religion have been intrigued by the ancient history of YORUBA of West Africa. German explorer Leo Frobenius came across some sculpted bronze heads and terracotta figures in Ile-Ife, convinced he had discovered remains of the mythical lost city of Atlantis. Beyond the way Yoruba accommodate other religions and cultures without giving up their own, they have surprised other scholars, so much that doctoral students must be careful how they present dissertations for approval. You may see within the same family a Reverend father, a respectable Imam and a prominent Babalawo. This is a volatile mixture in most cultures.

The disappearing glory of Yoruba civilization, culture and esteemed blood in a country deluged with money but only abject poverty to show for it must be reversed. This must be through intensive workshops by Think-tank reorientation groups at home and Diaspora; not by political moneybags. These Yoruba speaking groups, though massively located in Western Nigeria, are all over West Africa, Brazil, Cuba in Central and Southern America. They can be identified by their religion, language, Santeria and ORIKI. Some Yoruba artifacts unveiled at Iwo Eleru near their historical home of Ile-Ife, dated as far back às 10,000 B.C....

What is civilisation?

Are you sure

Once we get rid of Nigeria we rebuild our civilisation. I just wonder how a political player there will say he does not think in Yoruba. It will easy to deport him. All developers located in the region will behave if not their visiting visa will be cancelled.

Abeg Omoluabi no dey chestbeat, leave that for the insecure scoundrels

YEZZIR

Civil is a Social word.. nothing to do with buildings..

Civilized.. the act of being socially tolerant to everyone despite religion, ethnic differences..

People wey get am … no Dey make noise ..

Na empty drum sabi make noise

…

Why do they call some people chest beaters …simply because the believe those people out beat them for chest..

Some simply love beating chest … just as the love beating drum and praise

I like this thread, especially the second paragraph. The Yoruba culture is a very welcoming culture, they are very intelligent and progressive.

They are the most ethinic and religious tolerant tribe in Nigeria.

But of recent, some of them have turned themselves to slaves for money. They don't care about their culture and values. It is saddening.

What an Irony, this is a hight shamelessness.the less civilized tribe claiming to be most civilized. Truth be told if not that Lagos was the capital of Nigeria even the less developed place in the north would have been more developed and civilized than the entire Yorubaland.

Note: I don't respond to tribal bigot

Seun, mods ..this is a tribal bait.
Deal with this scoundrel decisively, let's be aggressive about the zero policy to instigate tribal hatred on nairaland.

Tinubu must contest!
Tinubu contested and shame catch you

So Germans are also Yoruba?

German explorer Leo Frobenius came across some sculpted bronze heads and terracotta figures in Ile-Ife, convinced he had discovered remains of the mythical lost city of Atlantis.

Yoruba are excluded from any research on Yoruba otherwise it is chest beating like others

Why is it always Yoruba the world know?

There are over 250 ethic groups in Nigeria

Tochi3:
Civil is a Social word.. nothing to do with buildings..

Civilized.. the act of being socially tolerant to everyone despite religion, ethnic differences..

And they would score 2/10 in this test., especially Batists.

You got that right. Cannot think of any other ethnic in Africa better at tolerance, accommodations and civility than Yoruba.

Otherwise, name any other please.

Lol. I remember that. "Tinubu must contest ' and "power to the North" everyday for months like a broken record.

Sad dude. Makes sense sometimes but way too emotional and biased to be a truly effective or productive thinker.

Consistently, world universities study the unique culture of tolerance and accommodation of foreigners and their religions that led to slave trade.

Even now, the Youths have to fight back to avoid Repeat or 3Peat.
