What Is Your Oriki ??
In Yorubaland, it is a norm for one to have at least two names one of which must be an Oriki.
Is your Oriki among these; Aremu, Alabi, Ayinde, Ajani, Abefe, Akanni, Ishola, Alade et al (for boys) and Abeke, Aduke, Abeni, Asake, Alake, Adunni, Amoke, Abebi and so on (for girls)
Whatever it is...
Let's get to know your beautiful Oriki

What's your own

Ajani ni o.

Oriki abi oruko oriki?

Ishola

pls can anyone help me on how to praise a person with the oriki (Ayinde) ?

Oriki abi oruko oriki?

oriki

Akanke

All these names are oruki ti o di oruko not oriki.

I thought oriki was like praising a lineage. Can't find any of my names there but some are really close.

If we are discussing oruko oriki here,mine is Ojikutumoye(on the maternal side).

Is oriki like words for praising or is it just a name?

What I know is, oriki is like a poem used for praising, so in the oriki, a specific name is mentioned for example "akanmu-okin", I think that's what SaffronSpice meant by "oruko oriki"
