10 ways to know you a Yoruba...

1. When you have Tribal Marks
2. When you like to attend parties
3. When you prostrate for an elderly one while talking to the fellow on telephone
5. When it costs you less than N250 to travel from Lagos to your village
6. When everyone that speaks your language is your brother/sister
7. When you can not do away with tribalism
8. When you woo a woman and immediately begins to address her as your wife
9. When you call every Northern Hausa and every Eastern Ibo
10. When after reading this post you get angry and curse me e.g. Olori buruku ma ni bobo yi... hahaha!

@ no 3 e.g

It is unfortunate that such an interesting topic is not being allowed to be informative . Really i love the igbo version of it which is more informative . Though an attempt to derail it and stopped the motive was abortive because the igbos never allowed it rather concentrated on defining and giving meaning to igbo. For peolpe to come here to say that igbos are derailing this thread ang abusing it is totally untrue . It is up to the yorubas to educative people on who or what is a yoruba and not to give up just like that and resort to fightin ; this has actually separated the boys from the men and actual compares both tribes in term of resilience and duggnes. By just saying youruba people is accomodating, always like to say thank you, this n that is not what people want to hear .Every body is accomodating , humble etc . Just educate us deeply who is true yoruba man interms of culture , tradition and the likes . right from the begining of this thread , the yorubas derailed it by themselves by showing weak interest to own it and resist any attempt to make mockery of it . So stop blamimg igbos for derailing this thread .Truly i see this as a sign of weaknes .in real life, you gonna strugle to be heard . Dont give up so easily and and resort to blaming game. So please yoruba should go on to tell us who is yoruba and stop accusing igbos of wrong doing here .after all some yorubas made some nasty comments on the igbo version of who is an igbo man but kept on pushing the info through .

@ felifeli and other persons that want to know the yorubas/if they are yorubas, the internet as we all know is a great source of information but unfortunately we also know that it can contain false and inaccurate information. If you want to know the yorubas, come to their region to seek the information you really need and experience them live. DON'T LISTEN TO HEARSEY MOST ESPECIALLY NAIRALAND.

I agree with u icon aus.
Besides, igbos were just trying to be funny becos there really is alot of funny stuff yorubas are known for. And that is not an insult. Infact they were indirectly praising u guys by mentioning stuff about great respect and tolerance.

As matured human beings u should have ignored them and pushed on, even accepting some of the things they said. That way u would be the wise ones and they the fools.
But u clearly showed immaturity and weakness by letting it get to u and failing to go on.

inurmind: I agree with u icon aus.

are you for real?

U ar a yoruba if u don't join the crowd in killing innocent student *acting devilish*
i will die a yoruba boy.

From the top of my head, the ideal Yoruba;

Recognises the principle of fairness and the complex concept of the 'omoluabi.
Has immense respect for elders.
Loves to have a good time and celebrate.
Has a supreme regard for culture and tradition.
Believes in the power of a name.
Loves to acquire knowledge.
Believes in the sanctity of facts.
Believes male or female, a child is a child (women are allowed to head families).
Loves a woman with a good backside.
Is a calculating mind.
Believes the culture or the person comes before religion.
Has numerous names.
Detests oppression.

If there is any doubt, as a kid growing up, you immediately know you are Yoruba with each one of your four grandparents having a different oriki and its accompanying poem for you.

Pepper in the food may guide you too.

speak for yourself only. You didn't make those comments so you can't tell if they had other intentions other than they were up to some mischief as their comments clearly potrays. Save your lectures for your people and not us. Thanks.

I can see that this thread as been derailed by ojukwu children that will do anything to attack we yorubas. . .i went to their igbo version thread and see that they don't know where they hail from. . .they don't know there origin and roots they didn't agree with themselves they are confused cuz igbo tribe is scattered With different definations of ibo. . .we yorubas we know who we are and our roots and origin buh unfortunately they didnt give us the chance to display our origin and beauty of Yoruba culture. . .igbos are always greedy in everything they do

omodapson:

No mind them jare. They are just haters... I just dey wonder why an alien will be defining my identity? I am an awori from Badagry and very proud to be Yoruba.

Thank you jare eyan mi, I dislike it when people talk of issues they know nothing about.

Lero15: A typical Yoruba: if he do good for u,u say 'thank u',e go say 'no need', if u no talk 'thank u' e go say u r ungrateful. If he say com chop,u say 'neva mind' he go say u dey vex,but if u go ahead to chop he go say u get 'insect eye'. If im chicken was lost then found, he throws a party. I LOVE GBOGBO OMO ODUDUWA.
