And Shaki descendants in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
@@FERESE please can you tell me about them
Really didn't know dey are Yoruba that settled in togo
@@francisojo9668 What comes to your mind when you say thar footballer's name "Adebayor". He is Yoruba from Togo.
@@FERESE I thought it's because he grew up there
I’m Igbo but my love for Yoruba ppl eh😍😍
Wow
We love you sis i am yoruba this is how is suppose to be igbo kwenu!!
You have a beautiful Igbo name too. Blessings
Yoruba languages are similar to the Igbo languages.
@@ruleso 🥰
We Yorubas love to partyyy.
We throw a party to celebrate a successful party😂
I see what you did right there.
That’s my tribe omo Yoruba ni mi ooooo SWAGA!
We YORUBAS are bigger than what peoples call us
🇳🇬 l am proudly Yoruba and proudly Nigerian but above all l am MOST of all, proudly a CITIZEN and an AMBASSADOR of HEAVEN under the Lordship of JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD OF THE UNIVERSE !!! to HIM, JESUS, alone l bow my knees and will continuously bow my knees forever, so help me God, in Jesus mighty name, Amen !!!
❤Amen
❤️❤️🔥Amen 🎉
Next time someone tell you that they want to know an African history before colonization, tell them about the Youruba people. They made clothes way before the Europeans came, they had kings, and a well structured society....too.
Plus we have the best musicians in the world.
That's Yoruba people for you. When celebrating life is all about, Yoruba people come to mind.❤️🇬🇧
Yoruba culture and all Nigerian culture are so beautiful...the parties and festivals are amazing...
3:56 It's what you can call the "King's Outing Party". It's to pay homage to the throne and who sits on it.
Age groups, families and professions come to pay homage to the king.
And that's how it's done yearly.
The Yorubas loves partying, they just look for reason to party.
Owambe tinz
😂😂❤
There is nothing like looking for a reason to party! Every moment is reason you should be happy.
I'm an Edo wife, married to an Edo man. I love my Yoruba sisters and brothers. This video shows nothing but class. Makes me want to bow to all the Aunties and Uncles. Oh how I miss Nigeria 🇳🇬
Proudly NAIJA 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬.
Proudly YORUBA.....
Culture is a big thing in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.....
You guys really like Nigeria. I'm Nigerian and I love it❤
Ojude" translates to "outside the King's Palace" festival. It's important to note that Nigeria, like America, is composed of states. Nigeria consists of a federation of 36 states, while the US has 50. The ruler featured in the festival is from Ogun state where am from. Given that Yoruba people reside in different states, there are variations in accents and celebrations. This comparison can help u understand that, much like hip-hop culture differs between New York, Los Angeles, and the South, midwest despite the variations in accents and sounds, it's all still hip-hop but celebrated differently. same as Yoruba culture celebration.
I appreciate that! As an African-American, this breakdown helps me a great deal.
Very impressive culture indeed. I don't think we have anything comparable to this is East Africa. I stand to be corrected.
Thank you! I am proudly from Ìjẹ̀bu Heritage - the home of the festival. It is indeed a blessing to come from such a rich culture. I was at the last festival a few days ago and got featured in the trending videos. Also proud to be actively promoting the Festival.
Thank you for your kind throughts and reaction! One Love ❤❤❤
I love this.... But those attires are expensive.... Even d cheapest is expensive..... Like really expensive... Those people u see are wealthy....
To even sowing d attire is a different expense than buying d material itself
Your parents help you to take the first few steps in life and when they grow old and weak you help them take the last few steps in life before they join their ancestors after life.
Ogun state representing 🖐🏿
I'm just super proud of my Yoruba culture/cultural heritage 💚
Kudos guys 💚
This is Yoruba culture and their dress has become Nigerians' cultural dressings because every woman in Nigeria today dresses like a Yoruba woman and every tribe from all of southern Nigeria has borrowed something from Yoruba men and women dressing and including lifestyle, especially parties and vibes.
The ladies groups and men groups wear Aso Egbe which in English is called Association Uniform, made from Aso Oke.
In those associations are bankers associations, traders associations, farmers associations, biologist associations, doctors associations, teachers associations, market women associations, social groups associations etc. This is a typical Yoruba way of life. Yoruba is powerful and influential that's why their culture still dominates in the Americas because they stay true to their Africanness and I wish they can do better still.
Exactly
Tell them, sis! The Yoruba influence is powerful.
What did South/South people borrow from the Yoruba
@@fortuneezekiel-hart4666 you all wear and use GELE.
@@fortuneezekiel-hart4666 They borrowed the concept of aso ebi, which is a Yoruba word by the way. So did the Igbos and everybody else.
Mama you are welcome to be a elder much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬 🇳🇬
Am proud yoruba, from ijebu, ibadan and oyoile.Others tribes in Nigerian and other African copy our yoruba culture Tradition dress,nobody can beat yoruba when come to party,marriage, birthday naming even burial
Madness! 😂😂 copy what? Travel and leave your village, lagos is not nigeria or africa no wonder many of you are so notorious for for lacking information about other tribes.
@@newton6936 Gele, aso ebi, agbada, etc are all Yoruba wears and other tribes have copied these
@@newton6936the Nigerian head scarf was copied from us, same as agbada, other nigerian tribes wear adire despite it originating from us. Aso ebi also
@@newton6936
Hush. There's no competition. You can be as abusive as you want, it's no competition.
I'm sure other tribes have some things the Yoruba people have copied as well.
But when it comes to throw-down elaborate parties and dressing to the nines in their native attires, no other culture in Nigeria does it better than the Yorubas. The Yorubas, especially the Ijebus have locked down owambe parties. Other cultures copy the Yoruba people.
Yorubas wear gele, Igbos wear ichafu. When you see an Igbo woman tying a scarf, doesn't mean they copied yours. We all have our different attires.
The Yoruba culture is so rich and deep. Thank you for sharing.
I’m from Ijebu Ode but I stay in Lagos I always want to go back home cuz of this festival it’s amazing how colorful and enjoyable it is there are parties everywhere for like 3days and ppl from all over the world came to the land to experience it, you really need to experience it you will be glad🥰😍
The 2024 festival was recently held this month. It went viral in Nigeria. You should absolutely look it up for a follow up video. Cheers.
@African-stories
Oh wow! That must have been the video being forwarded around on Whatsapp! It was so colorful and cool!
Whoever is the ruler of the land at the time... Awujale of Ijebu land is the traditional ruler of Ijebu land...
Am from Nigeria the Yoruba culture and Nigeria culture is beautiful
Love you guys 🖤🤎
I hope Africans and African Americans learn about each other in this way and we learn to get along some more.
I wish you showed the most inportant part where the families actually dance with the horses 😢
My yoruba brethren with party ❤❤😂😂😂
You can’t copy and paste asooke. It’s a bespoke masterpiece designed manually. The fabric is rich and expensive. When worn, it’s heavy and starchy. It stands! That cannot be achieved using machine
Kudos to you guy's, ojude oba is something else and I believe that the festival is being attended by over a million people, actually I grew up in ijebu ode ,i attended both Ansarudeen primary and secondary ,the festival is so lovely and it always brings back memories
Check out the 2024 edition of this festival. You would love it more..
Yoruba culture is the "flagship" culture of Nigeria. They truly were gifted with an amazing culture which stands in stark contrast to the image of black people being culturally deprived and that everything they have was given to them by Europeans.
The Hausa people have a gathering called the "Durbar " where many people in different outfits ride horses and salute the Emir of Kano.
@@oceejekwam6829 Definition of ‘flagship’: The best or most important product, idea, building, etc. that an organisation owns or produces.
Example usage: This machine is the flagship in our new range of computers. The company's flagship store is in New York. [Source: Cambridge Online Dictionary]
.
Provide evidence that Yoruba culture, one out of over two hundred vibrant tribes, is ‘the best or most important’ in Nigeria. Or are you going by some supremacist ideology like your colonisers? It is well documented in Nigerian and African history how the colonisers worked, identifying larger tribes, making deals with them, elevating them in local governance and pitting them against the others around them. Have you retained this coloniser-fuelled belief in the ‘supremacy’ of some/one tribe(s) above other Nigerian/African tribes, despising the coloniser but holding on to the rewards they cut out for you? This is why colonialisation continues in Africa. The originators have withdrawn obvious presence but they remain in some African minds.
Thank God am Yoruba, because anytime i see the progress of the Yorubas am always excited, much love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ to my Yoruba people home and abroad
What progress? When the ijebu place is nothing to write home about…plus terrible infrastructure and poverty of the people 😮
Yoruba!
First and foremost I want to appreciate you both for the love of African Culture. I have been following your channel for a while and I am proud of you both. That being said…..when are you guys going to Nigeria 🇳🇬 cos you need to feel the culture 1st hand.
We will let you know when it is planned.
There about 10 videos from different sources of this year's Ojude Ọba Festival on RUclips that gives you a full view of the festival. Except there are no English subtitles.
Proudly Yoruba 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬👑
Breathe taking, absolutely Definitely beautiful people 😍❤😘👍
Most 🇳🇬 especially Yourba and Ibo tribes they don't joke with their culture.
Clearly you only associate with those 2 cultures...most Nigerian cultures don't joke with their culture... including hausa and other northern tribes
Yoruba🔛🔝, if anyone disagree sweep the ocean
This is the biggest cultural festival in the world
This man is full of wisdom 😅😅
Please kindly check out the 2024 ojude oba
I was hoping you would get on this Video and you did. 👍👍👍👍
The aso oke is also a very expensive fabric!!!❤❤
God bless you guys. We are one.
Those are my peoples!!
I love you guys to the moon and back! You passionate is exhilarating and could be seen in your commentary 😊
What a beautiful and colorful ceremony.
Yup… we yoruba know how to flex 😂😂😂 we also like to parttty … love this video
3:53 it’s whoever the current ruler/king is. The Oba changes when one dies. But the current Oba sees the Ojude every year
You should also delve into the abribra December festival
I was going to say that!!! They call it IGWA MANG !!!
You will be blown away by the AGE GRADE system!!!
Abiriba people do not joke with their custom and tradition,no matter how far they travel and how much education they acquire.
Abribra....the London of Abia.
Most importantly one make create connections, meet their community (career wise, religion wise, educational wise etc), meet destiny helper and most especially future partner most reasons people don't miss it..... I love to belong to this part of the world 🌎❤❤❤❤❤
There is so much entertainment in all corner of Nigeria
Those clothes, attires and the accessories they're wearing arent cheap at all... Their sunglasses alone cost thousands of dollars. and most of the guests are billionaires & millionaires in dollars. I don't know why the vlogger showed the process of making tie dye, when absolutely no one in the video wore tie dye. the garments worn by the men and women costs thousands of dollars. That complete look would set you back between 4,000 - 40,000 dollars {including shoes, bags, watches & jewelry}
I know right? But I think he did the best he could.
40 000 dollars ko, 5 million ni. Baba calm down
@tok1879 So, how much is everything on one Rẹgbẹrẹgbẹ person on average? Unless you're implying that all of them were wearing fake jewellery...
Those Africa print has grade. He depend on ur choice. No foreign clothes.
Nice
Yoruba people like partying
Please do a reaction video for the latest Ojude Oba 2024
That Yoruba people there
Is more like the celebration of the throne to celebrate which ever leader who's on the throne
Yes, our societies are gerontocratic
Ijebu rules !
Just making the comments a round 100
❤️
100% hand made clothes, shoes and other accessories.
👑🇳🇬❤️💯✅
Yorùbá is larger than Africa 🌍
oba means king of that state. the people from the different cities and towns come together to the main place usually the capital of that state and they have a festival ansd the attire and grups could be a group of nurse associations, market women, families, young women association, kings men, farmers association, lawyers , professional young women / men association , hunters association and groups like that
Wrong info. There is no such thing as king of a state in Nigeria. Depending on how diverse a state is, you can have 10s of kings from one state. This particular festival is held by the Ijebus, a sub-tribe of the Yoruba people annually at Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state.
@@sholaoduba2540 i meant like town or city or whatever
❤❤
Good morning, you need comment on "Mike Sonko 🏠 house in Machakos county in Kenya," see what money can do.

🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Who's ever the ruler
The AWUJALE OF IJEBU LAND OGUN STATE NIGERIA..Google him 👍🏻
❤🫶🏾
Looking good but sometimes not always cheap, as variation.
Watch IGWA MANG AGE GRADE FESTIVAL of Abiriba people of south Eastern Nigeria. Age grade at its finanest. You will bow!!!
Banku
nah were good
The Ijebu r just one of tge sub tribes of Yoruba kingdoms.
Pls i need you to do "OBI CUBANA MOTHERS BURIAL"
Wow show off wealth 😂
@@victoriabarivure8211 I want people to see more about the Nigerian expensive lifestyle
Dollar on the air 😂
Nigerian culture not African culture... African culture are not the same..this is specifically Nigerian culture
not even Nigerian culture but Yoruba, and not all Yoruba but Ijebu Yoruba that is how funny its
nope its yoruba culture
@@ZAZUtakiyahoOjude Oba is specific to the Ijebu people of Ogun state. We are a sub-Yoruba group.
Nigeria is not a culture madam
Is not Africa culture, our continent culture is not all the same. This is specifically Nigerian yuroba thing
Now this is an ÌJẸ̀BÚ KINGDOM event. Not a Yorùbá festival.
The invited guests and everyone else are most welcomed, but the MAIN participants are indigenous Ìjẹ̀bús people.
Now I wouldn't call Ìjẹ̀bú-Ode where the paramount ruler of Ìjẹ̀búland reigns and which is generally considered the headquarters of Ìjẹ̀bú kingdom, a "small town." It's a city.
Also the main Ijebuland is so big that it shares boundaries with at least another state in South-West Nigeria.
Not to mention, there are Ijebus hyphenated with some other Yorùbá kingdoms.
Then again, the Ijebu kingdom is big enough to become a state -- but for political reasons it is joined to other ethnic nationalities as a state.
I am Ìjẹ̀bú and it irritates me when our events are termed Yorùbá events, when we know we are not exactly the favourites of some Yorùbá people.
That's the only issue I have with the man's video.
His narration was not completely accurate, but I will like to think he didn't intentionally set out to undermine the core focus of the festival.
Spot on.
Come on men, are Ijebus not Yoruba? They’re probably the most prominent and powerful people of the “Yoruba race.” It’s not like the Ondos, Oyos and Lagos are claiming the festival. Just like how Ijebu cannot claim the Eyo festival, or the Osun Oshogbo festival, so they cannot claim the Ojude Oba. But it’s all Yoruba. Even other ethnic groups/race in and outside Nigeria loved and appreciated it so much, you see them online claiming “the Nigerian” culture. So bros, no division here. It’s Yoruba, let’s all be proud as Nigerians and Africans.
@kennyogunbekun2466
It's not "division". It's RESPECT for IDENTITY.
A Yorùbá proverb says, "There are CLEAR BOUNDARIES even between the farmlands of a father and son."
How would you feel if people called you by another man's name, and when you correct them, they accuse you of trying to "divide" your gender?
After all, what is the difference between a Femi and a Tunde? They are both men AND Yoruba, so who cares if we call Tunde by the name Femi? Who cares if we award Tunde's achievements to Femi? Who cares if we wish Femi a "Happy Birthday" during Tunde's birthday party when it's not even Femi's birthday?
Acknowledging and respecting individual differences is what keeps people STRONGER TOGETHER.
@@kennyogunbekun2466ó sún mi o. See these are the signs that all those calling for separation, even if there was a Yoruba nation, we would still be looking for differences and trying to separate each other.
And I'm ijebu too btw
@@adeOLUWAand your anology doesn't work. Femi is clearly not tunde and tunde is not femi. Ijebu is Yoruba.
