Yorùbá — History, Identity & the In-Between

This channel explores Yoruba history, culture, and identity beyond colonial shortcuts. From the Oyo Empire and Ibadan to indirect rule, independence, and modern Nigeria, we examine how Yoruba political systems worked before colonialism and how they adapted through empire and nationhood. Through long-form, documentary-style storytelling, we explore trade, culture, language, and power — and what it has meant, and still means, to be Yoruba. Yoruba history is layered, resilient, and still unfolding.
