As far as it is possible for one race to be characteristically like another, from which it differs in every physical aspect, the Yorubas -- it has been noted -- are not unlike the English in many of their traits and characteristics. It would appear that what one is among the whites the other is among the blacks. Love of independence, a feeling of superiority over all others, a keen commercial spirit, and of indefatigable enterprise, that quality of being never able to admit or consent to a defeat as finally settling a question upon which their mind is bent, are some of those qualities peculiar to them, and no matter under what circumstances they are placed, Yorubas will display them. We have even learnt that those of them who had the misfortune of being carried away to foreign climes so displayed these characteristics there, and assumed such air of superiority and leadership over the men of their race they met there, in such a matter of fact way that the attention of their master was perforce drawn to this type of new arrivals! And from them they selected overseers. These traits will be clearly discerned in the narratives given in this history. But apart from the general, each of the leading tribes has special characteristics of its own; thus dogged perseverance and determination characterise the Ijebus, love of ease and a quickness to adapt new ideas the Egbas, the Ijesas and Ekitis are possessed of a marvelous amount of physical strenght, remarkable docility and simplicity of manners, and love of home.

Among the various families of Oyo proper, the Ibarapas are laborious farmers, the Ibolos are rather docile and weak in comparison with others, but the Epos are hardy, brave, and rather turbulent; whilst the Oyos of the metropolitan province are remarkably shrewed, intelligent, very diplomatic, cautious almost to timidity, provokingly conservative, and withal very masterful.

What do you guys think? Do you agree with the characterization?

You can list the characteristics of others not mentioned e.g Aworis, Ondos, Ilajes, Igbominas etc.

This is what I think about various yoruba ethnic group

Ilorin : slim, tall with long arms and legs, cunny and smart
Offa : bulky, shorter than ilorin, quick to self-anger ( will rather be angry with themselves rather than you that caused it), won't never accept second fiddle to ilorin
Ekiti - bulky, stubborn, very smart and can adapt and blend, you won't know they are not ilorin oyo or offa
Oyo - born ruler, always proud of themselves. Slim, very diverse in facial and physical traits. Diabolical but calm with deep knowledge
Ibadan - almost the same with oyo, fair skin girls, funny and interesting accent. Portable girls that not fat or thin. Jovial people
Ondo- I don't know much about them, they always think they are smart, want to turn you to mugu. Fair ladies there too, but short short. Business wise.
Osogbo - the most laid back of all YORUBA cities. Here you will see girls of 15years looking 23years. They are bigger than average girls in other yoruba city. Men are calm and honest
Ogun-diabolical, diabolical diabolical, smart, their women hmm hmm.
