ABOUT US

Yobamoodua.org is an online repository of words and terminologies in the Yorùbá language developed to bridge the digital divide and marginalization of the Yorùbá language on the internet and on all digital platforms. This site is an offshoot of the numerous revival efforts by Yobamoodua Cultural Heritage. YMCH began Yobamoodua in 2012 with the dissemination of information about the Yorùbá cultural tradition and arts on the internet using social media as a media and offline through storytelling. Officially registered as an information service business in 2017, YMCH has undertaken numerous projects. Amongst other services offered by YMCH include advertising copy writing and production, translation services from English language to Yorùbá language and vise versa. Under the coordination of Adéṣínà Ayẹni otherwise known as Ọmọ Yoòbá, Yobamoodua had produced advertisements for brands like OANDO, Interswitch One Africa Music Fest, worked on a number of translation projects like the indigenous tweets website, Engine Room digital projects, Localization Lab, Global Voices and many more.
