A global institution for Yoruba unity.
The World Yoruba Union — Isokan Yoruba Agbaye — was founded to preserve Yoruba heritage, connect the global diaspora, and build permanent institutions that serve generations to come.
A united Yoruba nation across the world — where our language, culture, and people thrive as a recognized global community.
To organize, empower, and represent Yoruba people globally through chapters, culture, education, economic empowerment, and community support.
Unity (Ìṣọ̀kan), heritage (Ìtàn), excellence (Ìṣẹ́gun), integrity (Ìwà), and service (Iṣẹ́ àwùjọ).
Core objectives
Connect the Yoruba community across every continent.
Language, festivals, oral history, and cultural traditions.

The World Yoruba Union is stewarded by a global community of leaders — elders, professionals, cultural custodians, and youth — who serve the mission with humility and accountability. Leadership is a trust: to preserve our heritage, to strengthen our chapters, and to build institutions that outlast any one generation.
