WHO WE ARE

We are Yoruba United Worldwide!

Yoruba United Worldwide, Inc. USA, also known as ``YORUBA UNITED`` for short, is a 501(c)4 nonprofit tax exempt socio-political advocacy group based in Texas-USA. We focus on the empowerment and welfare of people in the kingdoms of Yoruba Land. The Yoruba people, who are also referred to as children of Oodua or Oduduwa, have a population running into hundreds of millions dispersed all across the world. Some even say the population is now over 300 million worldwide.

The Yoruba homeland is located within seven degrees north of the equator. A population of people fraudulently and forcibly merged by an Act of Amalgamation under the British colonial government between 1912 and 1919 when the Northern Region and Southern Region were merged together as an act of convenient money-driven business administration. The population consists of more than 11.5 million heads of households and their unmarried children as of the 1963 Census of Nigeria. Today, that population has grown considerably to hundreds of millions worldwide. One of the two major tribes included in the amalgamation are the Ndigbo people, who are also clamoring for their separation from the expired country of Nigeria.
