The Yorùbá people are an African ethnic group that inhabits western Africa . The Yoruba constitute about 44 million people in total. The majority of this population is from Nigeria , where the Yorùbá make up 21% of the country's population.
The Yoruba people inhabit other african and european countries like Ghana, Brazil, sierra Leon, Benin Republic, cuba, Pieuto Rico, venezuela and some parts of the United States.
The Yoruba men traditionally wear a " Buba " and " Sokoto ", sometimes with an " Agbada ", an oversized cloth worn like a jacket and a " Fila", a traditional cap. Women on the other hand wear a "Buba" and " Iro " and tie a " Gele " over their heads and " Ipele" over the shoulders. The Gele and Ipele must match. "Buba" is like a shirt for men and a low round neck top for women.
