The Yoruba religion … the question?
Anybody know some good sites where I can buy small Yemaya, Shango, statues, etc … thanks
The Yoruba population of around 40 million, occupies the south-western Nigeria. They are one of the major Nigerian ethnic groups with different cultures so rich, and many ways, one of the most interesting people of Africa. The tradition gives them a unique place among African societies. Have contributed to the culture of the Caribbean and Latin South, especially in Cuba and Brazil, where Yoruba is spoken religion. In Nigeria, the Yoruba are one of the three main ethnic groups. Good luck.
