I was at a yoruba class and all of a sudden the yoruba teacher asked me of my oriki then it got me thinking that all this while how would i not know my eulogy so i went back to my parents but to ma amusement it was same story then out of curiosity i went to my grandma atleast shes still alive (lol) to cut the long story short i had to record it on my phone. So my question is to all nairalanders both hausa, igbo and yoruba do u know your eulogy (ORIKI)
