User Page for "Oniwe".

Welcome to my talk page. I am a Nigerian American/Yoruba American, I am very interested in history, specifically African history. In terms of my heritage, I am an Ekiti person, from the town of Ilara-Mokin and Igbara-oke. (Paternally, I am also Egba and Owu). After learning about Oriki, I became very interested in my ancestry in tracing my lineage. Since many of the information I receive is oral information from my maternal relatives in the village of Ilara-Mokin, I have been embarking on finding more research and sharing it to Wikipedia.

I am also interested in learning and teaching on Yoruba poetry, such as Oriki, and the Yoruba religion

I'm fluent in Yoruba, English, and an intermediate learner of the Ekiti language.

The pages I have written include...
