olodo Oyo empire introduce talking trim Malians and to other African nation's... It choke u abi ? Comparing our future with ibo own it's like comparing realmadrid to enyimba it's...
Many of your people dey wear agbada... But u go hardly see Yoruba wey wear ibo cloth...
Even for east naa Yoruba dey sole cloth for u naa people

Bros, Ibo no get clothes. Even the lion print chair clothes materials they wear is from Malaysia / Phillipines. Everything about these people is fake and primitive.

bomb24:


ewe people are not yoruba plz don't claim wat not yours.

Then you just choose not to learn. I leave you to believe whatever you want to believe then.

bomb24:


wait oooh agbada yoruba? buhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa for ur information.dunce agbada or popularly known as bariga originated from north africa.


chaiii yoloba brains are soiled with liesUp

agbada it made for the chiefs or elderly people among the Yorubas... It is a symbol of respect in our tradition.. that's why we call it agbada... Simply mean something that is main for elders...

We came from northern Africa... It is our cuture no body introduce it to us...
Oduduwa came later to partake in our development....

Yoruba are indigenous to many West African countries...Seria loean, Ghana Togo, Benin republic... AMERICA ... Brazil , Trinidad and Tobago and Cuba ....

Make research of Ketu, they it will serve as compass to the Ewe people. Below is pic of historical visit of Alaketu of Ketu to the Aalafin of Oyo.

Same Yoruba culture that is present in 3 African countries and the sole African culture adored n present in virtually every country in the Caribbean. Before man n God your head no correct n no fit correct till Jesus returns.

Lol bro I wonder what gave the nincompoop the temerity to want to challenge the Igbos culturally? People without history and culture coming to rob shoulders with us. Igbos have suffered sha, even Yoruba that are second in this aspect didn't make much noise about it

You get talent for commedy I swear.
Till that no significant thing is know about Igbos culture you claim the whites were shivering over.

Ikegwuru:
This post amuses me. The white men were here ravaging the entire Africa and calling them cultureless. Remember Conrad's description of Africa as heart of darlkness. This view of Africa changed once the whitemen encountered a single African culture. And you guess what? The culture was among the last to come in contact with white men. That culture is Igbo culture. Once the racists came in contact with it in the works of Achebe, they bowed in awe of the people with such a culture. You must remember that before Achebe, Johnson, Crowder, Tetula, and co had all written about Yoruba culture but the culture did not deter the whiteman. In the same vein many Hausa and Fulani writers had written about their cultures but no one considered those cultures great. But once the culture of the great Igbo nation was presented the whole non African world exclaimed "truly these people have great culture. ' That way Africa regained its lost dignity.

DispatcherLagos:
Igbo top the list

I before others (IBO) a tribe of very pompous set of people. when it comes to culture you look at the following; Yoruba, Binis Urhobo/Itshekiri, Efik.

What makes a culture rich? Look at their arts (Music, fabrics, fashion etc), Literature, etc) Religion, Science etc.

Shey Igbos wey no get respect wey dey use kick wake their papa from bed u talk say get culture. Ewu Gambia

Sammy07:


You only talked about culture
What about richest?

chestbeater and olodo. the poster is refering to rich culture. Olodo

DispatcherLagos:

Bring your argument. Igbo is endowed culturally much more than any ethnic group in Nigeria if not Africa. We have so many cultural practices that are even studied in Harvard university such as iri ji( new yam festival), igboto nma ( retirement from active service) , iwa akwa etc

You are making sense jare, but other tribes have more interesting packages in their culture

DispatcherLagos:

Yoruba is second in which aspect? chai....flat headed chestbeaters wont cease to amaze me. The youruba you are talking about are the cradle of civilization in Nigeria. Look their arts (Music, clothings, fashion, literature etc) which ia still evident till date. Next you look at benin, Urhobo, Itshekiris, kalabaris, TiVs , Nupe, Kanuris then we loom at Igbos, Igalas

DispatcherLagos:

Oga, are you looking for an ally already? I hope you know that no Yoruba clothing can be as popular as ishi agu?

where do you put adire and ofi?

All you yamyams, damdams, namnams no get culture. It’s the truth. Just facts.

I have not come here to banter words with a man who was given free education just to meet up with the Great Igbo race. All I have written there are learned position known by anyone who have ever cared to research the topic. You have the advantage of the sea, no contest. You met the Whiteman first, no contest. But does it not worry you that less than hundred years you were doing catch up with the group that met the Whiteman last. That's the Igbo spirit. Read Yoruba culture's response to racist taunt about the Africans. It sounded like confused nonsense as represented in Tetula's palm wine drinkard. Achebe came with Igbo position and the whole world stood still.

It should be Igbo and Benin culture.

Lol which culture Ibo get?

People that are even doing away with their culture lol.

In Nigeria, it’s clearly the Yorubas and that’s why our culture trumps all.

That’s why almost everybody is stealing our culture. Our dress, our music. Check the tribe that make you proud of being a Nigerian in diaspora, it is the Yoruba tribe.

Our culture survived the slave trade era to even countries in South America. Yoruba culture is the most pronounced and well spread out of all Nigerian tribes.

Even when you guys do you wedding, you still steal our Aso Ebi style after your ISI Agu, something you won’t see Yorubas do to yours. Our gele style, our everything.

All Nigerian cultures have beautiful aspects worthy to be emulated. However, for this particular question, I will go with Igbo.

Calm down, we are not fighting. Yoruba has a rich culture too. But the Benin and Igbo culture is very rich. You need to travel.

Efik is the best...

Ndito eka mmi, amesiere ooo...

Merry Christmas to you all...

SlyDev:


Clothes omo we get dem in different colours sizes and design, asooke, sanyan, adire etc these are different cloth material o

Artifacts, according archaeologist, Yoruba arts are only rivalled by Nile civilization in Egypt

Language, before colonial era, Yoruba is spoken wide from Bini Palace in Nigeria to Ghana

Music, talking drum, sekere cool angelic language of Yoruba have conquered Nigeria music industry

Oyo houses were copied to be replicated by ashanti in Ghana because they were beauty of the olden days

Have you read how oyo empire wage war? Lay siege, excellent archer in sub Saharan africa, best soldiers in sub Saharan africa. Have you read about how Oyo conquered Dahomey then defeat ashanti a century later


Aboy these are rich culture and history not yam festival

you have no proof Yoruba was spoken in Benin palace precolonially

DispatcherLagos:

Lol. Agbada what? You are very deluded. If Yoruba in Nigeria doesn't have anything to offer culturally, is it in far away Cuba and Brazil that they will have? Mind you, Hausa is the richest in terms of money while the Igbos lead in culture

The Igbos are the richest black tribe financially, it is uncontested, travel and see

Oga leave pictures ...you don't know better than omokri ... Read what he said about Yoruba... Did u mean he marginalized u people in this article ?

love how they retain their full culture when they travel abroad. It is a rarity amongst Africans. When you visit London, you may be confused if you think Yoruba is the only African language in existence.

A Yoruba man can enter a quiet bus and receive a phone call and speak in Yoruba, and won’t feel embarrassed. And I am not referring to a Johnny Just Come. I am referring to second generation Yorubas who were born and brought up in England,

I have been traveling the world from childhood, yet I have not encountered people doing that with much wider [/b]spoken African languages, such as Swahili and Hausa.

They may speak it privately in their homes abroad. but not publicly, and even if they do, it is not to the extent of the Yoruba.

It has gotten to the extent that the Metropolitan Police now recruit Yoruba speaking Constables, and Harrods now employ Yoruba speaking cashiers. Oh please do not just take my words at face value. Fact check me.

Go to Houston on a Sunday, you will see Yoruba people everywhere in their native wears, adire, plus abeti aja and eleti aja.

[b]Here in California, other Africans now draw crowd to their parties by saying ‘the Nigerians will be there.’

This will annoy other tribes, including mine, however, when foreigners talk about how cool Nigerians are, they are usually referring to Yorubas.

Take it or leave it, but the Yoruba are the most progressive Black people on the face of planet Earth.

They produced the first Black African Nobel laureate for an academic category (Wole Soyinka), and the first Black African military ruler to have voluntarily handed over to a civilian President (Olusegun Obasanjo), and the first Nigerian to win a Grammy Award (Sade Adu) as well as the first person born and bred in Africa to have won a Pulitzer Prize (Dele Olojede).

The reason why Yorubas are the biggest music stars of Nigerian origin is because they are unabashedly Yoruba. They do not try to sing or act like Westerners. They are very in-your-face with their Yoruba-ness. And when people like themselves to such a high degree, others tend to join them in liking them.

There are an estimated 15 Black billionaires on Planet Earth. Three of them are Yoruba. More than any ethnic nationality in Africa.

US President, Joe Biden, named a Yoruba man, Adewale Adeyemo, as deputy Treasury Secretary. This is the highest position to which a Black African has been appointed (not elected) in US history. Another Yoruba man, Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, became the first person on Earth to successfully perform a surgery by taking out an unborn fetus from its mother’s womb and putting it back after the surgery.

77% of all Black doctors in America, and a very large percentage of these are Yoruba.

I commend the Edekiri people (the real name of the Yoruba). You guys are oni te si iwaju.

El rufai once said that Igbos alone own more than sixty Percent of properties in Abuja
