Who we are
More than Aso Ebi and Afrobeats.
Ijoko Omo Yoruba is a London-based diaspora community platform dedicated to educating, connecting and celebrating Yoruba culture. We started because we noticed a gap - a generation disconnected from their language, stories and traditions.

Yoruba Wisdom
“Ẹ kú àárọ̀”
Good morning (with respect)
"Ijoko" means gathering. "Omo Yoruba" means children of Yoruba. Together: a gathering of Yoruba people.
“Bí owó bá ti pọ̀ tó, èèyàn ni owó”
No matter how much money there is, people are wealth
True riches are the relationships you build.
Yoruba talking drums (Dùndún) can replicate human speech - they literally speak the tonal language.
Modern Yoruba-speaking regions cover Nigeria, Benin, Togo and communities across the world.
“Ẹni tó bá fẹ́ mọ ibi tí ó ti wà, kí ó wo ìdílé rẹ̀”
One who wants to know where they come from must look to their family
Identity is rooted in heritage.
