Our aim is to promote cultural, social, economic and political welfare of Yorubas, in and outside Nigeria, particularly in Jacksonville area.

 

We usually meet every second Saturday of the month where the hearts of matters and issues are discussed extensively and solutions proposed and implemented.

“Agbajo owo la fi nso’ya

Opo giri ese ni nyena

Opo eesu a ma ya ‘gi

Opo ojo a di agbara

Opo agbara ni ndi odo nla

………..

E wo eyo igbale ti o ro ti o si tinrin

Sugbon ti won ba dipo

Ko s’eni  to le tewon se

Tiketike ni won nro gbogbo”
