Most of us do not know the oriki of our town again,the glory days of the oriki seem to be gone,as most youths are no longer interested in it,we are allowing this beautiful culture to go into extinction.

Every Yoruba family has its own oriki, which extols the virtues of the clan.

The question is can you still recite your oriki???.

It will be more interesting if you can write out at least a line out of your oriki.

If you're proud of your town and you know its Oriki,lets hear it.
