mufutau55: CONTRIBUTOR: AllisonEng WEBSITE Oyotunji African Village ADDRESS Kingdom of Oyotunji Yoruba African Village, 56 Bryant Lane, Seabrook, South Carolina, 29940, In the swamp lands of Sheldon, South Carolina, stands an authentic Yoruba village founded in the 1970s by Oba Oseijeman Adefunmi I. His followers came from New York, Chicago, and Indiana to establish the Kingdom of Oyotunji, now the oldest genuine African Village in North America, with the aim of reigniting African culture. The less than 50 residents (a sharp decrease from a population that once numbered 200) of the village follow a mixture of the customs and traditions of Yoruba and Fon cultures, living in simple shacks, wearing traditional West African garments, and following religious counseling and training. The entire village is over 10 acres and holds assorted structures such as open air shrines, courtyards, and a traditional bazaar that sells handmade artwork, jewelry, herbs, and clothing made by the residents. King Oba II lives in Afin, the royal palace with his wife and two children. He still practices the tradition of ritual facial scarring that is customary for kings, but has given up certain traditions such as polygamy (which his father Oba Adefunmi I recognized) and animal sacrifice. Though the residents have come to rely on basic amenities such as electricity and indoor plumbing, they still try to live a simply as possible, relying on tourists to keep the economy afloat as well as the village priests who give lectures at local high schools, colleges, and universities. http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/oyotunji-african-village |

Most respected culture and tradition in Nigeria.without sentiment give to the Yorubas.u will always hear others tribes speaking the language with joy of expression frm them all, cos it very flexible jst like the English language. No wonder yoruba language once came third in world sexiest language raking.u can still google it. Have always been seeing white people speaking only yoruba language excellently and some things I ask myself why only yoruba language among the rest. Yorubas is the only cultural group that rock overseas with his local songs and white dance to it without any English words in most songs. Check the yorubas highlive musicians performances on stage starting frm King sunny Ade,rolling Dollar,Pasuma wonder,salawa Abeni,Osupa,and rest of Fuji artists and not forgetting Lagbaja. I once heard a foreigner on Air that say they do pay much to study how to speak yoruba language in abroad cos once u can speak it you are like a God to them starting frm Brazil,Argentina,Cuba, Venezuela and mostly all southern American countries.yorubas culture and traditions are widely practise. Yorubas are so much loved with their cultural preservation,starting frm their unique dressing,talking drums,Songs,proverbs etc No wonder we are envy! Am proud to be a yoruba Boy. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Wenom: Where do u come frm? Can your culture and Tradition withstand ours? Can ur cultural gain recognition as we do? Why can't you back off! I believe u been envying was all because u can't match with us.as one of our adage says and I quote (eni aleiba la joowu) U only envy who u can never match with.but if u can then u keep silent. Assignment or Home work to you. Apart frm Nigeria and even Africa at large.are people willing to accept or must have adapted to your language and culture? Which tribe brought civilisation to African at large by providing the first broadcasting station in Africa? Can any tribe in Nigeria label the all parts of human body without remaining,with their language except the yoruba language? Can you tell me the owner of second airport in London? Can u tell me the first millionaire in Nigeria not even MKO? Can u tell me the richest woman presently on our planet? Submit b4 7:30am tomorrow morning.Good day! 2 Likes 1 Share |

macof:Hello friend, I've acknowledged my mistake that's when I apologized,because i know the gravity "people religion should be respected".You said I play emotional blackmail on you,that's not the truth, I'm not good at twisting words "I said it the way I feel/know it.But after my apology is been accepted by my first attacker you kept calling me names.Do you correct people by insulting or making jest of them?I know if I've not responded,I would've become object of ridicule.I'm a Yoruba, Adewale by name and nobody is perfect we all made mistakes/short comings.Some maybe so glaring to the extent it'll be like "is this man crazy".Like what happened to me "don't call that pathetic or emotional blackmail okay?Just kidding.I'll take that correction to my heart and I'll make sure I didn't FORGET that.Thanks and stay blessed "IFA-ORISA/ORUNMILA A GBEWA O". 1 Like 1 Share |
