What isWazobia?

Three of Nigeria's most widely spoken languages, each with its own word for the same instruction: come. Put the words together and you get a name that has stood for the whole country for decades.

  1. Wa Yoruba come
  2. Zo Hausa come
  3. Bia Igbo come

Three languages.
One invitation.
One night.

YorubaHausaIgbo

Three cultural traditions. One shared celebration.

And beyond.

Nigeria is bigger than three names.

Hundreds of ethnic groups, languages, traditions and ways of celebrating share this country. Wazobia is where the name comes from — it was never the whole story.

A few of the many peoples of Nigeria: Ijaw, Efik, Edo, Tiv, Ibibio, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Nupe, Kanuri, Fulani, Igala, Isoko, Ogoni, Idoma, Ebira, Gbagyi, Annang and many more. This is not a complete list.

Every culture here has a story.
Come and bring yours.
