Yoruba people are from the great race Ewe
editDays to days from journalism and investigation Rap i find informations that explain black Africans unity ( structured ) from the old time as one people in differents branchs ( nower days ). Yoroba language is the mixing of Ewe language and fon language. And fon language is the mixing of Ewe language and the Yewe language (ancestors religion ). Kotafon, Guin, mina, Adja are also from the great race Ewe who is more that ewe ethnic group. Komavo wednesday, 29 may 2024, 6:18am.
Resolving copyright violation issue in the History subsection
editThe entire subsection under copyright infringement review has been removed and re-written. Waiting for an administrator review decision on the new version. I am mentioning this here as a part of the due process. Oramfe (talk) 13:48, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
Citation Issues
editHey all who have and are watching/editing this article, I took a look at the Dress section and found that the citing is not the best. Paragraphs 3-5 all have zero citations, nor does paragraph 7. Also the entire Philosophy section is uncited. I added "[citation needed]" where I think they are necessary for the philosophy section and I am thinking of doing so for the dress section as well. Can the people who contributed to these two sections please added the sources they used for the article? Or anyone who knows where to find this information? This will really improve articles the credibility generally! Thank you for reading. YNDRClues&You (talk) 19:10, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

In the article, the Ijebu Kingdom is wrongly referred to as city-states although it was actually a Nigerian traditional kingdom that was centered around the capital of Ijebu Ode. Although it was compiled of multiple areas and cities, they were just as united as any other kingdom. 2601:283:C283:6670:ED6B:84FA:E697:683F (talk) 02:21, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
