YORUBA OR ODUDUWA?

I prefer the name Yoruba Republic.

Oduduwa Republic would be a second choice.

I prefer Yoruba Republic because the word “Yoruba” already has a global circulation and reception.

Yoruba language is taught in many universities in the world, including the University of Texas, Austin, with two full-time professors giving lectures to undergraduate and graduate students.

In addition to the professors teaching Yoruba language, I teach Yoruba art, and there are distinguished professors teaching Yoruba history.
