The architecture of the ancient Yoruba of Southwest Nigeria was a communal endeavor and the house was a statement of ideological, economic and social position in the larger urban context. Below is a list of 25 elements of traditional Yoruba architecture, as I cannot detail all about the Yoruba people in this documentation due to how lengthy I would need to write, the brief bio of the Yoruba people samples the Ijebu kingdom.

The name Xhosa is a generalised term for a diversity of proud clans, the Pondo , Bomvana , Thembu and the Xhosa tribe itself. Red and the orange of ochre were the traditional colours of the Xhosa, Tembu and Bomvana (“the red ones”). There are approximately 8 million Xhosa people in South Africa, and the Xhosa language is the countries second most-populous language in the country, after Zulu.

ReplyDeleteLovely work
ReplyDeleteWow love this
ReplyDeleteShody at best, first it's too much to describe the entire Yoruba but then substitute all Yoruba with just Ijebu, a subset of all Yoruba on the subject of Architecture. Make all these fantastical claims about the origins of the Ijebu without any references, not even to ethno-linguistic language classification linking Ijebu to Tigray, Axum or Egypt. Which is it, are you discussing Yoruba architecture or Ijebu? You haven't sampled the Ijebu at all you've merely made general dicriptions of Yoruba culture in general with a smattering of architecture, without differentiating what makes Ijebu architecture distinct in any way.
ReplyDeleteHi!
DeleteTo begin with, I actually included references to my findings at the bottom left corner of every page. The history of the Ijebu people stated here was curled from an official website representing them.
Secondly, I'm discussing Yoruba architecture on a general scale, but culture wise i was being specific cause culture varies in each part of the Yoruba sets.
Lastly, I'm giving a general idea of what Yoruba architecture is and not that of ijebu architecture in specifics, I only used the history of the ijebu people as an example as talking about the history of every subset of the Yoruba people could be another topic entirely. It was basically an intro, and I made that clear in the intro. So, I didn't make a substitute like you term it, i basically made an example. which part of the Yoruba people would you have preferred as an example for the write up?
pls how can i get the full original article
ReplyDeleteWell, this is the full original article.
