The Yoruba administrative model presents an enviable democratic governance system that is unrivalled in the world. The Yoruba culture presents a functional matrix consisting of organic hierachies of chiefs, chieftains, and captains of industry supervised by the monarchy. No man is disconnected from the communual rotuine management of the state.
The beauty and commonality of names and titles does not override differences in roles and tradition from city or sub-group to another creating a spectrum of variations in the expectation of responsibilities assigned to similarly sounding names across the entire race. The inheritance models present an interesting study. Yet, the Yoruba sub-groups interrealte in almost flawless communication that reflective of thier ancestry.
This heritage informs the formation of the Elders Forum to allow Yorubas in Diaspora communicate the wishes of our ever enlarging community with our royal households at home, thereby, contributing to the social emancipation of the Yoruba race at large.

The Yoruba monachial system presents an enviable democratic governance system that is unrivalled in the world. Every man has a link to the palace through various categories of chiefs who take responsibilities for their jurisdictions transmitting information both upwards to the king and downwards on matters of state. Hence, Yoruba kings are always up to date on relevant social issues, holding consultations on a regular and organized basis.
The palace remains the center of consultative assemblies including governance, justice and commerce where high chiefs and the king hold court with senior advisers.
They also run enviable judicial systems under the monarchy that allows for delegation of duties among the various chiefs. This heritage informs the formation of the Elders Forum to allow Yorubas in Diaspora communicate the wishes of our ever enlarging community with our royal households at home, thereby, contributing to the social emancipation of the Yoruba race at large.
