The culture is indeed very artistic. Their praise poetry and panegyrics are etched in deep oral tradition, quite sonorous too.
aQUINandmore:

As someone from Edo, I find myself drawn to the Yoruba culture of Nigeria. It's not just a fascination; it's a deep appreciation and love that I hold for what I consider to be the most beautiful culture in Africa. It might seem unusual for me to have such an affinity for a culture outside of my own, but there's something truly special about the Yoruba heritage that captivates my heart.

The Yoruba culture is a tapestry of history, a masterpiece of traditions that have withstood the test of time. It's like a living museum of Africa's past, present, and future. I can't help but be entranced by its richness and depth.

What stands out most is the way Yoruba culture weaves together a complex fabric of language, spirituality, art, and community. The Yoruba language is like a dance, with its melodious flow and expressive words that seem to carry stories within each syllable. It's a language that can paint a picture with its very pronunciation.

Their spiritual beliefs are equally captivating. The Yoruba pantheon of gods, the Orisha, is a fascinating blend of mythology and reverence. The intricate rituals, divinations, and ceremonies that honor these deities are nothing short of mesmerizing. I admire the profound connection they maintain with their ancestors, believing that the spirits continue to guide and protect them.

Yoruba artistry is a realm of wonder. The Adire and Aso-oke textiles are not merely fabrics; they are works of art. Each pattern and motif tells a story, preserving their history and heritage in threads. The intricate beadwork, the stunning masks, and the sculptures are a testament to the incredible talent and creativity of the Yoruba people.

Music and dance are like the heartbeats of the Yoruba culture. The talking drums, the rhythms of Sango, and the energy of Ogun's dance, all come together to create a unique and exhilarating symphony. Their festivals, like the Eyo and Osun, are a spectacle of color and joy, a testament to the celebratory spirit that runs through their veins.

What's most striking is the strong sense of community and family in the Yoruba culture. I, from Edo, can't help but appreciate the way they embrace one another, the warmth in their interactions, and the strength of their bonds. They place great importance on names, known as "Oruko," and I admire how they cherish their ancestors and carry their legacies forward through generations.

It's worth noting that my love for Yoruba culture does not diminish my love for my own Edo heritage. Rather, it serves as a testament to the beauty of diversity in Nigeria. We are a tapestry of cultures, each offering something unique and beautiful. The Yoruba culture, in all its magnificence, adds vibrancy to the mosaic of our nation.

So, as someone from Edo with a deep admiration for the Yoruba culture, I can't help but celebrate their traditions and their profound impact on Nigeria and Africa as a whole. The Yoruba culture, with its language, spirituality, art, and sense of community, is a treasure that enriches us all.

The Yorubas will be the first & the best gainer... If Nigeria divides. Yoruba is the only reason Nigeria is still one. The other two can't stand independently as blessed as the Yorubas. Every factors of consideration for independence favor the Yorubas. Yet, they keep their cool.

The western Europeans are savages...these are unrepentant colonialists always looking for African prey....

Nigeria is much better off dealing with Iran, Brazil, Paraguay, India etc than the colonialists and savages of western europe.

Electricity was first invented in Africa and Middle East....they claimed it was Faraday that invented....they steal from around the world.... they tried to erase African history....though they partially succeeded (most Africans hv inferiority complex) but the truth such as the Timbuktumanuscripts show libraries existed in Mali before they did in Paris....

Nigeria will be much better off running away from the colonial regimes of western europe: France, UK, Belgium, Germany and Portugal and Italy....

There is no region in Nigeria that cannot boast of cultural beauty if we all harness our potentials.

Say whatever you want to say about Lagos, it is far better run than any other part of Nigeria. It is one of the many reasons why many of us support Tinubu.

Whatever you say about Nigeria, it’s still the world capital of extreme poverty and the highest number of children out of school.

Is Lagos part of this Nigeria, such that Lagosians are doing voluntary second slavery to European and North American countries

Why does all the artworks depict our kings, cultures and symbols and not yours?

Why are the priceless bronze works in Benin and not Ile'Ife...it's possible we had interactions, as Benin had lots of slaves, it's possible some yorubas were working for us then, am sure we used slaves to build the Benin city walls, the moats and all our infrastructure then...the Benin moat, city wall, and priceless bronze works are still in existence today... empirical evidence, not fables and myths of oduduwa coming from the sky grin
