What Is Yoruba Tribe Known For? by Blaze14k: 1:16am On Apr 26 |
First of all am not trying be tribalistic we are here to learn. Out of the three main tribes in nigeria, Hausa/Fulani are known for agriculture or livestock, igbos are known for business. My question is what are the yorubas known for?

They can fry raw PEPPER (RODO) and eat with rice. I had issues with one of those Yoruba demons. during my school days the guy nearly killed me with pepper. If I cook with a little pepper, the guy will complain and still add dried grinded pepper Las las we went cooking separately 3 Likes |

When you answer why everyone wants to associate with Yoruba, you will get answer to your question. Someone said they are unserious people who have 50% Christian and 50% muslim lol, what does that imply? Sense and tolerance. If religious war is to break out in Nigeria today, only Yoruba people will be unwilling to go to war, why? Every family in Yorubaland has people who practice the two religions. It talks more about people who can live co-harmously with others no matter what. It is only when a bastard among them show face that they now take a firm position. Entertainment (Music, movies) Education Politics Legal sector ICT Banking and finances Oil and Gas Rich culture Tell me where other tribes beat Yorubas in the aforementioned areas. If you want to be a fool, do it codedly. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

I believe they are known for their love for their language. No matter where you go in the world, when you see a Yoruba person, you will always know. They are proud of their language, culture, and heritage. They also like too much pepper. But I'm not complaining; I like too much pepper, too. 1 Like |
