The Alaafin of Ghana 😎

This is not entirely correct. President Mahama of Ghana’s mother was not a Yoruba woman; rather, his stepmother was. It was his stepmother who brought Mahama to Offa, Kwara State.

What is correct is that a certain group of Ghanaians—the Ga (Gaa) people—are related to the Yoruba people. The Ga people of Accra are originally from Oyo, with ancestral roots in Ile-Ife, just like other Yoruba subgroups.

The King of Accra, the Ga Mantse, has stated this several times—that they're originally from Nigeria, specifically Ile-Ife and Oyo.

This is gorgeous.

The bolded is incorrect.
The Ga people are from Ile-Ife; have no linkage with Oyo

'This' is unnecessary in that sentence.

Some people won’t sleep well tonight because of this

Like, they are just not comparable 😂😂
No be by chest beating

He personally grew up in Ilorin Kwara state.

horlando30:
His step mother rather is Yoruba!

mikeapollo:
His mother is Ghanaian, not Yoruba. But his late step mother was a Yoruba from Offa, Kwara state.
He himself came to live with his father and step mother in Offa when the father (a politician) had to come live in exile in Nigeria for sometime as a result of military coup in Ghana. That is why he is familiar with Nigeria.

On Monday, 15 Dec, 2025 he was coronated with the chieftancy title as the Aare Atayeto Oodua of the Source by the Ooni of Ife. (that is probably where/when he put on the dress in the picture above)

The op conveniently ommited the fact that he was in Ile Ife to receive a chieftancy title, hence the dressing not because of any birthday.

Proper omo olofamojo

All Hail handsome Kabiyesi John Dramani Mahama.

Nice one, I love the attire.

The man grew up in Nigeria with his grandma.

He grew up in Kwara, so he's half yoruba to me.

Yoruba to the World.

Artachee by force with style 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So which means the yorubas stole this attire from Ghanians and Senegalese people

bigpriik:
Yoruba borrowed the culture na, which proof do you have to show the dressing originated In yoruba land

Totally true! Everything about them were borrowed from other cultures.

This Ewedu and amala that they eat was actually copied from Ghana. I watched a video of where the Ghanian version of Amala was being prepared with a slimy soup...theirs (the Ghanians) looked more palatable and presentable than that of yorubas.

Yorubas has a wider influence in West Africa, from the South West to as far as Benin, Togo and Some parts of Ghana, the Old Oyo Empire under Oranmiyan and Sango covered the whole of Benin known as Dahomey and Parts of Togo,.That is why Benin Republic is called the 37th State of Nigeria,There is really no difference between Benin Republic and Yorubaland in terms of language and culture. And yorubas do marry Ghanaians a lot ?

On the contrary, there are Yoruba descendants in Ghana. The Ga people for instance.

Tinubu will look like a pin inside this kind of clothes.

He better stick to that his night gown he wears all around the world.

False, it is his step mum, who he is very close to, that is Yoruba or Tapa, he also lived for some years with her growing up in North Central somewhere

This is the truth, I didn't have some facts when I responded to the one you are responding to, well said.
