So, you speak Yoruba fluently, Bayo???? Wow! May God bless your mother for raising a true African. I Knew of a particular Nigerian woman in the US who’s so engrossed with American lifestyle that she detests her own Yoruba heritage. She once said she’s thankful that we were colonized, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to speak English!!! Can you imagine such a ridiculous mindset? Wow, you are making me to miss Naija o. See the natural Yoruba beauty of the waitress; no plastic nails, no toxic paints on the face; no bleaching of the skin. Chai , Omo! You guys are killing it!!!! Enjoy!!! I am home sick right now!!!
"To control a people, you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture. When a conqueror makes you feel ashamed of your culture and history, they do not need prison walls or chains to hold you captive." - John Henrik Clarke - This is regarding the woman you spoke of above and a lot of others like her.
I love everything about this place even especially the fact that it's small/intimate. I love the cultural pride and genuine hospitality. The clothing, wooden cups and bowls, the banana leaf wrappers, and art and history on the walls. We have strayed too far from all of these things and it has dealt with us severely. Every thing about this restaurant helps build the local economy. I only wish maybe it was built using modern mud and plaster techniques to let it breathe
I will like to try this place out. I like the fact they wear Yoruba traditional outfits and the setting looks good. I like trying out the various ethnic foods. @Bayo Adio - Thanks for posting.
Omg. I am so happy that they are in Lagos now. I was at their Ibadan restaurant last year. I will surely check them out when next I am in Nigeria. Thank you my brother. Great job.
Hello Bayo, I am new to your channel , came across your channel last week and I have subscribed, where is ile Iyan in Lagos, is it in lekki VI or mainland? I will be coming to Nigeria in July, I will like to have a taste of ile- Iyan.
@@thenigeriannomad Alco free... love the drink. Good to see how engaged she was .Good to see. As per speaking Yoruba, there is an American Caucasian called Titi Layo who puts one to shame speak fluent Yoruba... check her out on the tube,. Good work Bayo 👍
But bayo, when I was in Lagos last month I didn't know about this particular restaurant. I only went to Yakoyo which their food is fantastic. Where is this place located in Lagos if you don't mind.
I visited this place earlier this year, I must confess the food is amazing plus the cultural dress code they have on, is a very nice concept. Even though the food is expensive, I would visit again when I’m in Lagos🇳🇬🫶🏾
Bayo do you see any carribbean or AA ppl moving to Nigeria? Similar to Ghana? If yes do you think it's possible. I don't see much videos promoting visits to Nigeria like Ghana.
Ghana needs the population and investment. Nigeria is overcrowded. Again, the experience of some AA in Ghana is not very pleasant. There are videos on social media with many expressing their grief. Some of them are relocating to Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa.
@FERESE Nigeria isn't overcrowded just Lagos. We only need better city planning (all of the continent does). Also people are leaving the places you mentioned as well. It's just a matter of preference and many government aren't being smart to attract diaspora with that kind of money through policy. Nor do they think of the impact of migration of a large number of people on the average local
I know there at least two that I've seen on yt. There was a family of three that relocate from The Gambia (originally from uk). And other family (of maybe 5 plus) from the us. Also a brother Afrothinktank youtube.com/@afrothinktank42?si=eAjsI4Wl9GewZ94x is somewhere in Edo state I believe and he comes and goes and does business (I think mostly agriculture). I know he at least had a ginger farm and provisions shop. I believe he's also invested in the Caribbean
@@FERESEI agree with you that my country Nigeria is overcrowded but for your other points i do disagree. I think it is better Diasporans of African descents should focus on other African countries.
Looking at those menu with it price tag compare to U.S here, you can see that food is really cheap compared to U.S. Such a large menu of foods with a lot of meat not even up to 1$. Spending dollars in African restaurants is like eating free food
LOL, I though you were going to cried like that time when you visit Meatology, In the First two weeks, we are going to Nigeria, I already paid for the Tour, the guide shows us a Photo of Meatology, did not ask him if we the tour, is going to stop by there, I am also planning to purchase Penthouses in Eko Atlantic City, Bayo, you should check those Pineapple, Farms & SEE how they plant the Pineapple, We are ALL Brothers, NEXT time, DO NOT plant in a distance, they should be closed together, I guess, you want to sold the Pineapple, ETC
@@thenigeriannomad Again, oversea shipping pick them when it looks mature but yet still, for domestic use like Market, pick ripe ready to be eaten. search on UA-cam, later
Im actually disappointed in the quality of their food. for the price you would expect somedthing that tasted like home cooked meal but the taste of the soup was flat. ive had better meals at local bukka in ilorin that dont even cost half the price.
I love that she is wearing a traditional Yoruba outfit and I am Igbo. Let's continue to promote our culture!!! It doesn't matter which one!!!
Well said.
✊🏿 💯 percent agree
Viva Nigeria!
YES OOOOH! We must! :) No one else is gonna do it for us :)
Exactly! Fellow Igbo woman here. Nothing beats Iro and Buba in Aso oke.

Greetings from East Africa!
We have become part of your team.
Our big brother County, Nigeria!
Nigeria meal is the best
Damm Nigerians are stepping up…I love this. If you hadn’t said anything I’d probably thought it was somewhere in the western world…well packaged.
We dey try small small with the cards we are dealt with :)
This is a good business strategy.I learned a lot from this. So proud of this woman even her dressing style makes me smile ❤ from London

I LOVE IT SO MUCH! The Modern mud plaster ould be so dope!
Love nigerian food.
Very nice, love it.

Oh...one of the guys in your video ( the guy on white shirt) happens to be my juinor in the university
Certainly love the ambiance. I look forward to trying them out when next I am town.
yes oooh
Great Place Bayo, must visit. It has to be "Maami Combo" o. Sending the okele into the stomach with those traditional songs feels great.
It's expensive, normal everyday Nigerians can't afford it.
EXPENSIVE , LIKE $40 US AVERAGE FOR A COMBO
Everything shouldn't be affordable for all ....fingers are not equal . There are places that affordable too .
Everybody should know their size ?
You nailed it
Thks & where is the restaurant located in Lagos?
Thank you for ALL YOU DO! From USA. You dont know how much you are blessing us. Thank you and God bless. Never give up! You are touching lives 💖
I just love your videos Mr B, I like your Yoruba language you just speak like my ajebo cousin that's not even entered a plane before
😂😂😂
Nice. I will visit this month.
Omg. I am so happy that they are in Lagos now. I was at their Ibadan restaurant last year. I will surely check them out when next I am in Nigeria. Thank you my brother. Great job.
oooh so cool. I didnt even know they had one in ibadan
Where is the restaurant in lbadan please?
MKO Abiola Way, New Gra, Ibadan 200273, Oyo, Nigeria

Bayo, you like food jor. I love the fact that the entire experience was centered around a Yoruba theme.

Wow! Great content Bayo! Outstanding ambience at ilé iyán. Well done for show-casing this.
You are very welcome :)

Eba ati Iyan, onje to dalara ju. 👍Chop and Quench. ! Might I add, They should have added Palm Wine.
Maybe because it won't be fresh. But could probably do local palm gin
I asked and they said they dont serve anything alcohol. I didnt dive deeper into asking them why
@@thenigeriannomad Alco free... love the drink. Good to see how engaged she was .Good to see. As per speaking Yoruba, there is an American Caucasian called

We dey oooh.lol
I wanna go home😭
You should. I was there 5 months ago. I am already booking another visit 😊😅 this year. There is no place like the vibe of muisc and laughter 😊.
Thank you . location pls
But bayo, when I was in Lagos last month I didn't know about this particular restaurant. I only went to Yakoyo which their food is fantastic. Where is this place located in Lagos if you don't mind.
YAKOYO is a classic for sure. I put all their details, address etc in the description and their instagram. check it out

@@thenigeriannomadThanks, keep it up
@@thenigeriannomad copied
Please where is their Location,so that when I get home Nigeria i visit there.
Good food except they cannot make a vegetarian version of the food… had to get it made custom at Buka Hut…
Please someone else should open that kind of place you are talking about.

They are some I have seen in Nigeria.
They live in Abuja, Ikeja, Lekki, Bodija, Abeokuta, Uyo.
Many keep a low profile

Good evening. Are you the one looking for a farm land in or near Abuja, Nigeria 🇳🇬?
Good evening oooh Abligeria ??? where is that ?
@thenigeriannomad Typo. The last text message had a few errors. Were you the one, the host of UA-cam, looking for Farmland in Abuja, Nigeria 🇳🇬?
It was a verbal text, which I sent last night

no. its more than that. this is like $6 - $14. This place is actually higher priced for this type of food. locally.
Where is this place? What's the point when there's no location?
Sorry. It's in the description
Why not calm down- and read descriptions properly before complaining - typical Nigerian! 😂
No palm wine?
unfortunately not oooh. they dont serve alcohol
Where's this location in Lagos please?
sorry. didnt put in video. I added all details in the description though
How much was the food?
like $6 - $10
Woow you speak yoruba?

Advise her to hit local good chefs…
Also if you drink sugary beverages before a good meal it could put a damper on good flavors….
