It goes to show how traditional crafts have been kept alive and the skills being passed down through generations. Nigerians have talent - it must never be lost to mechanisation.
Great art, great skills and great video by a wonderful presenter. Thanks so much, BattaBox for these native video series. Odunayo, well done for being so real and your Yoruba is pretty good too. I hail all our skilled wood carvers o, especially baba and his son shown here. May these skills never go extinct. Oodua kare! Ire o!!!
please pleople do not let the lauguage die.We are the people of the book,the bible.We have all been decieved by the translation.Iyeosunwa in osun state is where the name joshua comes from.Odunayo,you're a reflection of your name for sure.Season or a year of Joy? Always feels like christmas and a delight to watch you and the other guy Bole.Greetings to everyone from England.
This is one of my favorite Battabox videos so far...please continue the great work. I always love to see traditional arts & crafts being appreciated. I hope you can feature other areas too .i.e maybe the bronze works from Benin and leather goods from the North is time permits. Please where can we buy Baba and his son's wood carvings?
I think that the Japanese could have learned so much from these guys. .its about years and years of father to son tradition. Refining the tools and so on. It's all about the generations passing their knowledge down.
Gaza Imp how so? Do you understand that this is rural part of Nigeria? I live in the US and they still have craftsmen. Do the Amish people come to mind? Get out of here with that condescending rhetoric.
tuforu4 Let me guess, if you are not buying it, no one is? One man's poison is another man's food. Someone has to preserve culture or ancient skills will be lost. Not everyone is gonna wear a tie and suit to work. By crafting those men and women are creating employment for themselves. Get away from all these colonial mentality. Just because we embrace modernization or technology doesn't mean we discard our old way of life and tradition. They can co-exist. That's how it should be.
Ode! google the yoruba great bronze artifacts they represent the very best my people have to offer. Idiots like you in the 18th century saw them and said the ancient city of atlantis was near by that no way yoruba people could achieve and master such level of artistry,so they played sly and stole some of it to their museums in europe.Fact remains yoruba arts and philosophy are highly sophisticated and has influenced people all over the world. IFA yoruba religion and philosophy has 100 million adherents making it one of the top 10 religions in the world.

Beautiful young lady.
the carvings looked easy. the way odun was struggling to cut wood, :)

i wish they had sharp tools like the Japanese carpenters
They ain't complaining
Couple high grit stones would do miracles to the cutting performance.
