Yoruba people reside predominantly in the south-west part of Nigeria, West Africa. The geographical zone was among the most vulnerable to Slave Trade, which resulted in the active existence of the Yoruba language and culture in parts of South America, especially Brazil.
The presence of Yorubas all over the world generates much global curiosity about the language.
Yorubas, known as Omo O’odua (children of Oduduwa), are always enthused to share this culture with all who are interested.
