Abstract
The Yoruba virtue of hospitality is deeply ingrained in the culture and tradition of the Yoruba people, an ethnic group predominantly found in Nigeria and other parts of West Africa. Hospitality is an important value in Yoruba society, and it is reflected in various aspects of their lives. It is seen as a fundamental obligation and a social responsibility towards others, especially strangers. It is an expression of respect for the dignity and worth of human beings and a demonstration of empathy. The Yoruba virtue of hospitality can serve as a panacea to racial discrimination against Black people in different parts of the world. By embracing this value and applying it in their daily lives, people can create a more inclusive and tolerant society. Hospitality can help break down the barriers that divide people of different cultures and backgrounds. It provides a platform for cultural exchange and dialogue, which can help build bridges of understanding and respect.
