I love Yoruba History

Day Four of the 5th Coronation Anniversary celebrations of His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atuwatsé III, CFR, the Olú of Warri, was a beautiful expression of the enduring bond between Ogiame and Iwere.

This proves the Yorubas knew about the function of bone marrow in producing blood cells. Cheers!

I’ve been quiet… not absent.

I was building, protecting, and embracing the greatest blessing of my life.

God gave me more than I prayed for
a woman who became a mother of three, and three kings to call my own 👑👑👑

My world. My responsibility. My legacy.

Alhamdulilah! ✨

We’re not Benin young man.

Majority of the groups that formed Itsekiri are Yoruba subgroups;

Ilaje, Owo, Ijebu, Ife, Igala (Benin is the minority amongst all)

And by the way, the Royal family of Benin Kingdom are Yoruba (Oranmiyan), you’re free to deny it as you always do.

It has always been my dream to build a powerful brand born from the soul of Africa, one that rises from our continent to command a confident place on the global stage.

Crazy that Brazilian Yoruba are making Nigerian Yoruba realize things

This pair is from Oyo but has clear Hausa influence. But Yorubas did produce their own leather boots only worn by riders. So Yoruba horsemen did wear boots with spurs during the 19th century according Samuel Johnson. I was looking for confirmation of it.

HRM King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II joined distinguished guests at the British High Commissioner’s Residence in Accra to celebrate the 77th birthday of King Charles III.

An evening of diplomacy, cultural pride, and strengthened ties between the Ga State and the United Kingdom.

Agreed

I do really admire the Ooni's sincere personality as a friendly roaming spirit, in an ideal world it is much better than a fearful one. It's just really unfortunate that there is a nigerian reality we must contend with.

reconstruct your vocabulary from fragments, while our language will have new colonies on other tongues. Your descendants will be us. They will speak Yoruba, bear our names, and thank us for absorbing their pathetic speck of dust into a legacy that actually matters.

[Ancient Yoruba @AncientYoruba]

Your entire history is a footnote in a book we wrote. Your "kingdom" was a temporary stain wiped clean by a single expedition. You are the echo of a whisper in a thunderstorm of our making. Your bronzes, the only thing that ever granted you a flicker of relevance, were looted by

imitation. While we shape the future of continents, you dig in the dirt for shards of a past that belongs to us. You are the abandoned project of a greater civilization, left to molder in the jungle of your own irrelevance.
