Questions

1. Does each Yoruba state have it's own Ijo-Ibile or is it a Yoruba-national dance?

2. What is the origin of Ijo-ibile? Ibo lo ti bere?

This is the 2nd part to the YYC dance rehearsal. The cultural dance is also called "ijo ibile" and it is usually performed at random occasions (especially yoruba festivals). See www.yorubayouth.org for any inquiries.

I did the same thing. I guess it's part of the NIgerian education curriculum.

I wonder how much Yoruba is still retained in languages of indigenous Yoruba tribes around the world especially in countries like Dominican Republic, Cuba and Brazil.

I once asked a Yoruba from the Ivory Coast to say something to me in Yoruba and she said “mo fe dun nu” – I’m about to eat. I understood what she said but I was amazed at the choice of words she used. It seemed like their version of Yoruba was stuck in the middle ages and didn’t evolve.

I'm so proud do be one, we are just too advanced culturally.

For real I am Igbo I really love the way Yorubas flow with em language all over the world ie here in the US.

Ehen ehen. . .us wey nor be Yoruba, God go helep us

For those interested in learning more about Yoruba Cultural influences around the world(Dance, Religion, Literature, Philosophy) this book is a good start;

It is not exhaustive, but it's a good start.

@Wallie, your reasoning seems to be indicative of someone with a supremacist point of view. How can you arrive at such? Don't you think those who you refer to like that would find that insulting and condescending? To me, this is how the "white" colonialists treated us like savages.

cool

Insult? Savages? Condescending? Supremacist? Dude, what the hell are you talking about?

1. Are most Yorubas found in Nigeria?
2. Is the Yoruba spoken in Lagos different from the Yoruba spoken in Ijebu Ode? How about Badagry?
3. If there are differences between the Yoruba spoken in Lagos and Ijebu Ode, wouldn’t it be highly likely that it will also be different from Yoruba spoken by slaves isolated in a different country about a hundred years ago? Could their version of Yoruba be considered patois due to inclusion of their own local vocabulary?
4. Do languages evolve, generally? Are we still speaking the same English spoken during the Shakespearean times?

Now that you see how I logically arrived at my reasoning, how did you arrive at yours? Could it be that you have an inferiority complex?

I MUST SAY, THIS IS LOVELY.

IT TAKES ME BACK HOME!!!

Dont mind that retard, you are right. Their language hardly evolves cause they dont get to mix with other Yoruba dialects like the Yoruba's in Nigeria do. When the dialects mix they unknowingly form a more cohesive Yoruba, which causes changes. But those isolated stick to their dialect, and may be stuck in the middle ages. . Its quite cool, you should try to learn from her, and write about it for the future. Records of things like that should be kept to keep the culture alive
