ENGLISH TRANSLATION

In the olden days, people move about by walking from one place to the other, this was before the advent of the modern means of transportation.  Horses were only found in the Kings and Chief’s house due to the ecology of the Yoruba region which is surrounded by thick forest.  According to the modern Yoruba adage “Legs are faster than vehicle wears the body out”.  This can be applied to the ancient people because the journey that they had to walk for thirty (30) days is not more than six (6) hours journey in a car or forty (40) minutes by air.

View the slide below on this page for the Yoruba names of means of travelling in the olden and modern times:
