Ìjàpá àti Ìyá Alákàrà (Ìjàpá and the Àkàrà Seller) | A Yoruba Folktale About Greed

Will Ìjàpá the tortoise's greed for delicious àkàrà finally be his undoing? Dive into a classic Yoruba folktale filled with music, mischief, and a powerful lesson! This is a must-watch Àlọ́ for the whole family.

In this exciting Yoruba cartoon, the cunning Ìjàpá Tìrókò craves the mouth-watering àkàrà made by the famous Ìyá Alákàrà. With no money to buy his favourite food, he cooks up a spooky plan with his children to scare the seller's daughter and steal her goods. Disguised as the terrifying "Oníràwé" (King of Leaves), their plan seems to work perfectly!
But what happens when the king and a powerful, one-legged herbalist named Ọ̀sanyìn get involved to stop the mysterious monsters?

This beautifully animated story is a thrilling adventure that showcases the richness of Yoruba culture and storytelling. It teaches an important lesson about the dangers of greed (ojúkòkòrò) and the importance of self-control.

Told entirely in the Yoruba language with clear English subtitles, this video is a fantastic tool for anyone looking to learn Yoruba, teach their children the language, or simply enjoy authentic African stories.
