We urge the sons and daughters of the Yoruba land to embrace the wisdom of leasing lands in the Yoruba land instead of selling them, for the sake of the future generation. This is the par for the course around the world. Thank you for the thrilling video of the most aesthetic palace in the Garden of Love.

The Benin kingmakers sought a king from Ile-Ife (Oromiyan) because his father, Oduduwa, also known as Ekaladeran, was a prince who was meant to inherit the throne from his father, the last Ogiso of Benin.

Stop using Nigeria culture, there’s nothing called Nigeria culture. It is Yoruba race culture not Nigeria. Nigeria is a slave name given to all the tribes in that geographical region, Nigeria name is business name for the British. Do you see the northern tribes mentioning Nigeria culture, they will say hausa culture or Kanuri culture but not Nigeria culture. Please let us stop mentioning Nigeria culture but ( Yoruba culture, heritage, language). Eledumare will continue to change our perspective on illustration of culture. Thank you
