I am really proud of my heritage and I am proud to say that Yorubas are one of the most successful in Africa.

Acrosss all spheres of life.
Education, entertainment, food, business, media, IT, sports

Let’s celebrate some successful Yorubas representing


I will be using this thread just to celebrate the Yorubas, you can include yours

Entertainment

Yoruba is the father of Afro music

Starting with Fela Ransome Kuti

Davido, Wizkid, Tiwa savage, Falz, Simi, Kizz Daniel

A whole documentary cannot cover the extent to which Yoruba has impacted the African music

Music is buried in Yoruba culture, it is part of the Yoruba DNA.
Yoruba sing in everything, from Story telling to folklore, Yorubas will use songs and dancing in every thing they do. Yorubas have invented their own music instrument as far back as thousand of years ago.

Juju, Fuji, Apala

In terms of music and entertainment, no one can rival Yorubas in africa

Yorubas everywhere

Every tribe has their own successful people in all spheres of life. God is a perfect distributor of goodness to his people. Just as the sun and moon shine for all.

What of movies and films.

Yoruba language cinema is the most successful indigenous cinema across Africa. I may be wrong

But they have produced one of the best movies in africa till date.

Looking back to movies like Saworide, Oleku, and even current movies, Yoruba movies dominate on Netflix

No harm intended bro,

Omoawoke2:


No harm intended bro,m

Seriously, you are in the wrong section

There is a right section for these things.

Yorubas during the slave era in North America, got to North America and colonized them with their culture and traditions

You need to watch the documentary bigger than africa to understand better

Yoruba festivals and religions

Ifa remains the biggest African traditional religion practiced not just in Nigeria, not just in Africa but all over the world.

In fact, Ifa has lots of scientific correlation you would never know. For instance, the odu ifa is 256 which is exactly the same 256 binary codes and the same code in the 256 odu ifa are all present in the binary code.

You may have good intentions tho

But let's stop propagating tribalism, Yorubas are not known for that

I am Yoruba
