When I went to Adjame in Abidjan….it is like being in Nigeria. I will like sociologists to study why Yoruba people and culture is such a success when it comes to migration, integration, and cultural assimilation. Both at home and wherever they go. I have never seen a group hostile to Yoruba people…..because they settle and mix so effortlessly….. They accept others, assimilate, but never lose their identity. This also made me visit Ejigbo during my holidays back home in Nigeria, it is so fascinating! Just as this video narrates. Thanks for bringing this to the public notice.❤

Don't you know Yoruba was a country itself before the British arrived to invade our forefathers. The country named Nigeria today was created by the British. Google how many indigenous tribes in Nigeria you will be shocked. Nigeria is a fake country it is a British company. They also create it to take the black race backward mostly the Yorubas because they know who we are in fact it is more spiritual than you all think.

My sister, I don't mean to be disrespectful but why would you want to learn more coloniser languages and their culture? The more I have grown and become knowledgeable about what the European colonisers have done to us as Africans, the more I want to distance myself from them ...... and the more I want to embrace African culture. No matter whether it be Nigerian, Namibian or wherever, as an African I'm interested in it and want to embrace it. What is not being clearly stated in this video is the fact that this town called Ejigbo is a legacy of the European colonisation of Africa. The Europeans redrew borders, moved and expelled peoples and in some cases exterminated whole populations. They imposed their, language, religion and culture on us and today we have places like Ejigbo, which is like a modern day Babel from the bible. But in reality Ejigbo is simply a border town of which other examples exist in other parts of Africa. I know for a fact that there are people who live between South East Nigeria and Cameroon who are also multilingual.

@user-ve3ig8de8s: The point you make, although I disagree, is an interesting point to make. Many people do not realise that when we learn a language, imbedded in that language are cultural and traditional values. These influence the speaker about social norms in that culture. To say that learning a coloniser's language (or any language for that matter), doesn't affect one simply isn't true. Africans who do not speak any European languages tend to see life differently to those of us who do. This isn't to say that learning languages, whether they be European or African, is a bad thing ..... in fact studies have proven that those who are bilingual tend to be more intelligent that those who are not. However, what I am saying to the lady concerned is if she desires to learn a language ...... why not choose an African language?

And this does not stop in ejigbo alone also the neighboring communities are involve in it one is OLA next to ejigbo I speak fluent English as well and I speak French Am born here in Ivory Coast and still in Ivory Coast and I went to Nigeria for my education Most of the Nigerians ( Yoruba) u are seeing right now at the stadium in Ivory Coast are from ejigbo and the neighboring communities

Kudos man👍🏾 This video deserves being aired on national TV station for all Nigerians to see! Ejigbo s a treasure that should not be allowed to go into extinction just like that due to lack of interest in our incapable government. The people are very well versed, respectful and content. I saw no group of thugs hanging around, or obscene talks or laughter being displayed in public like in most other parts of Nigeria. Let the world see there is hope of another Nigeria! Ejigbo wait for me, I am on my way to taste your freshness! Love from Germany 🇩🇪

@@feyioshin9840 feyi I know .. because growing up in the 60s/70s there were comedians who would sing and mention Offa.. then i travelled to Offa for a teaching appointment and a young yuroba man my age spoke to me in akan... i was blown away....infact in the hey days of the ghana black stars there was hardly a team without 3 or 5 nigerians born in ghana... we always had them.... it was only in the late 70s that ghanaians in nigeria were called to the green eagles... in ghana we had them plenty.. almost every village had a yuroba store...

I never knew this existed! In fact, I was expecting the narrator to mention somewhere in Badagry 😂omo people dei travel shaaa. Immediately I took a glance at my atlast map of Nigeria, 9ja is bordered by the republic du Benin in the southwest predominantly where you will find most of the descendants of Oduduwa consisting of Oyo, osun, Ondo Ogun, Ekiti and Kwara. Meanwhile the republic of benin is bordered by Togo, Togo is bordered by Ghana and then Ghana is bordered by the Ivory Coast... it makes a lot of sense as per the migration of these entities and thier respective settlements over the past centuries.
