We have gotten several questions as related to how a yoruba Fila should be worn.

Is The Yoruba Fila Gobi Worn To The Left or Right Culturally Indicative of Their Marital Status


Yes it is, After wearing, turning the cap to the left side indicates a man is married, while turning it to the right indicates he is still single.


Some take it farther than an indication of marital status. If a man’s cap is lifted up, it shows pride, if it is turned to the front, it indicates he is tired of life, and if turned to the back, it can be said that he is a man who does not care.
