$HOCKING: WHO WILL SAVE US? Can Yoruba Survive? | Bunmi Adetona

Is Yoruba culture slowly slipping away, or can we preserve our rich heritage for generations to come? In this deep-dive exploration into Yoruba history, we examine the existential threats facing Yoruba cultural history, language, and traditions in the modern world. From the sacred grounds of Ife history and the powerful legacy of Oyo history, to the strategic stronghold of Ijebu history and the vibrant rise of Ibadan history, the story of the Yoruba people is one of power, innovation, and resilience. But as global shifts take hold, many are left asking: Who are the Yoruba, and will our children still know the true history of the Yorubas? Join host Bunmi Adetona as we unpack the core identity, art, and philosophy of Abinibi—our innate cultural heritage. We travel back to the Yoruba history origin and the foundational history of Oduduwa in Yoruba tradition, exploring how ancient spiritual systems like the history of Ifa in Yoruba land shaped the societal fabric of traditional West Africa. In this mini Yoruba history documentary, we draw insights from classic literature like Samuel Johnson Yoruba history (The History of the Yorubas) and compare classical accounts with modern discoveries in Yoruba genetic history. Together, we look closely at the history of Yoruba people to understand what made Yorubaland thrive—and what it will take to save it today.
