Before, I start, there will be some yoruba words,and I will translate them .
Dedicated to funmilayo..(funmi-sly-yo)
The stories at moonlight.
The sarcastic communications.
The feel of a smoky kitchen.
The rigid customs.
The annual festivals
The legendary aso-òkè .
The warm òfì.
The colorful Àdìre
The taste of black food.
The fanning of coal embers.
The tribal marks.
The red ìlèkè.
The black eye.
The green hand.
And the fertile brown land.
The silver gèlè.
And the respectable fìlà.
The resonating drum beats.
The moving bodies.
The Bàtá.
The clapping hands.
The tingling percussion.
The voices.
The sonorous black voices.
The hooded Egúngún.
The running women.
The daring men.
The Súlè Èbìràs and
The wise guys.
The stories of Èkó.
The illusions of gold-littered floors.
The original paintings.
The journeys to Ìbá òdàn.
The birth of twins.
The lineage of kings.
The hunch-back.
The taboos.
The Evil forest.
The Àmàlà and Ewédú
The Èbà and ègúsí.
The Iyán and èfó rírò.
Our food.
The success of ambassadors.
The pride of Yoruba.
The classic writers.
The setting forth at Dawn.
The early travels to the stream.
The wise old proverbs.
We are yoruba.
We are Akú.
Skie's note;
The yorubas make up about 21% of Nigeria's population, making US one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa!!!.
So yeah, we're proud.
PS; It is widely recognised (meaning on the internet)
That yorubas were already urban-ish before the arrival of the British colonial administration.. (Thank you very much.)
