This is to Oyotunji Could you please refresh my memory in terms of yoruba Vocabulary

[Oyotunji]

@Tinamusicreggaeluv Yes this Is the Youyube page for Oyotunji. Oyotunji means "Oyo" rises again. Oyo is a major Yoruba city in west Africa. So Oyotunji for us is like.....mmmmm New York for the dutch or New Haven or New Hampshire ect.

[Oyotunji]

we got the message and thank you for getting the mewssage out

[orisala]

one question i am from trinidad and we are having alot of bablawos from nigeria how would we to no which ones are  genuine

[Oyotunji]

myfriend many Yoruba scholors and priest of all levels visit Oyotunji often to teach and learn them selvs . We were not born with the vurnacular like our family in the continent haw ever we are the first generation new world YOrubs to speeak a single word in Yoruba . So you should come see before you comment wrong. Adupe Oduduwa gbe wa o

[orisala]

and can you give some names of real ones so i could comper thank you

[olatunde07]

as much as i admire what you gys are doing,there are so many yoruba words that you are not pronouncing right and i think you should carry the yorubas still living in the villages of oyo,osun,ondo states in africa along..how come you dont invite the real babalawos from oyo and osun in africa to your thing or have some of them as teachers seeing as they have a better knowledge,seems to see this is an all african american thing

[xoambermcmxo]

??they may be dumb but do you welcome people of other races??

[Oyotunji]

Yes of course we do employ all people to visit Oyotunji village for a weekend or an extended stay .

[obatalafunfun8]

My mother informs me that there were scandals occuring in Oyotunji at some time.However, I amvery intrigued by it. I think their should be mure villages in places such as TRinidad.

[Oyotunji]

Thanks for your comment . Scandals happen all over the world . Yes we agree that there should be villages in other places , however there is the "Black" community all it needs is its traditional sociology and architecture and culture and there can be villages all over . Its a state of mind not a place ..
