The Yoruba are one of the largest and most influential ethnic groups in West Africa, with a civilization that dates back thousands of years. Centered in southwestern Nigeria and extending into parts of Benin and Togo, the Yoruba people developed powerful kingdoms such as Ile-Ife, Oyo, and Ijebu — each known for its sophisticated systems of governance, art, and trade.
Ile-Ife, often regarded as the cradle of Yoruba civilization, is celebrated as the birthplace of art, kingship, and spirituality. The Yoruba are deeply rooted in cultural values such as respect, community, and the belief in *Omoluabi* — the embodiment of good character. Their traditional religion and worldview have influenced global spiritual practices, including those found in the Caribbean and the Americas.
Today, the Yoruba people continue to play a significant role across the world, promoting creativity, education, and unity while preserving their rich cultural legacy for future generations.
To unite the Yoruba community in Düsseldorf through culture, education, and social engagement.
