By tribe, I am a Yoruba from Southwest Nigeria. We are one of the major tribes in Nigeria.
The first culture heritage I am always most proud of is the our culture of Respect and Greetings.
In my culture, young ones don’t called or refer to elderly ones by names. You must affixed the name of the elderly person with appropriate titles like Baba (Daddy), Mama (mum), Auntie so so so and so (if you see most Yoruba referring to someone as their auntie, most times such person is their sibling sister😄😄), broda lagbaja, oba (king) etc.
And we used plural pronoun to refer to eldery person. Instead of o, we used e or won.
In addition, we believe everyone deserves respect – the young and the old, that’s why, we have a proverb that says, ‘òwò díèdíè lará ñfè (everyone deserves little respect) but some people deserve perpetual Respect notably your parents and your king.
Furthermore, we, the boys greet by prostrating and our girls do so by kneeling. Yoruba greatly tied greeting to respect.
We also have greetings for everything. For example, when Nigerian government removed subsidy, we started greeting ourselves, e ku aisi subsidy yii, meaning congratulations on this no subsidy regime ooo 😁😄😅
The second cultural heritage I am most proud of is our food specifically Amala and Gbegiri plus ewedu. You can’t beat the flavour.

Lastly, take the mic and tell us what aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?
