 Aroko 

Aroko is a non-verbal communication system used by the Yoruba people of Nigeria. It was used before the advent of the European in Nigeria, which is not to say that it is not still used but it losing its relevance. Aroko invloves sending an item or a cominable number of items to a person who is expected to infer a meaning.

Most if not all of the items used by the Yoruba are made by them. Some aroko are delivered to a destination by animal, such as a dog, or human, who must be trustworthy. Items like kolanut, comb, pepper arrow, bow and gun are delivered. Aroko like a bunch of banana, a stone, an image made of mud are stationary and observed on the spot.
