This is NOT true and very insensitive to the other Nigerians.

The true picture is that Nigeria is gradually becoming a nation, through cultural assimilation and cultural diffusion.

Every tribe will give and receive certain things from each other over a long period to for a new Nation from the various components.

even Yoruba also borrow and assimilate several things from other tribes e.g Foods (Fufu, Isi-Ewu, Ogbono, Suya etc), Words (Oga, Adura) and above all DNA as inter-tribal marriages have increased in the last 30 years. This isn't just in Lagos but in many rural areas of Osun and Ondo States where the populations of Urhobo,Igala, Agatu and now recently Igede Farm workers have risen astronomically from the 1960s and these people marry (or more correctly, impregnate and get impregnated by) the local indigenes.

This is an interesting question

Southwest is the capital of economic activity and center of migration of Nigeria so it’s not a surprise that others are beginning to adopt the culture of the Yorubas in dressing and language.

One major contributor is the Afro-beats that originated from the Yorubas and being dominated by Yorubas. All the way to Canada, Uk, US etc. you hear even foreigners singing in yoruba slangs.

Popular songs like Buga oo, Peru, Lonely at the top was played and loved in several countries across the world. You will see a foreigner singing “wan ni won wa mi…..”

What of the great Fela, king sunny Ade. They created an influence too.

What of the slangs, most slangs are born in Lagos. And travels through the rest of Nigeria, slangs like Idan, Japa or the new Japa-da

Movies too contribute to it, Yorubas being the giant in the nollywood industry. With soap operas like Super story, This life, Papa Ajasco, to current movies like king of boys, wedding party


The Yorubas in Brazil, and other South American countries too contribute. In case you don’t know, the greatest of all time, Michael Jackson was wearing a shirt in his hit song “They don’t really care about us”

And the words written on the shirt is a Yoruba word “Olodumare” written as “Olodum”

All of a sudden afrobeats has become Yoruba overnight................Afrobeats conquered Africa b4 the world took note, Nollywood paved the way for Afrobeats to conquer Africa! Afrobeats is even a misnomer cos there are different genres within the so called afrobeat............can you say Flavour and Timayay are playing the same thing with naira marley and Asake...i think not! As you bumbling fools continue to hollow out afrobeats by alienating others within Nigeria....you will give room for other artistes from other nations to invade afrobeat and beat you at it. watch out for the female south african atiste Tyler with her 'water' international hit! She will dominate Tiwa and Ayra starr if you demons do not shut up and stop yapping yoruba domination rubbish!

Yorubas founded Afrobeat and still dominates it till date

You can’t argue with facts
