Intro:
1. Yewa ni moyo
Nile to f’omi ayo wera
Ile to f’okan bale pese
Omi jeje abe irawe
Odo lolo eba Odan
To ya ki won nile Idogo
To san ‘gbala wosa l’Ado
Ile Ileri, Ile Ibi mi.

The anthem was approved by the Yewa Traditional Council in the year 2010.
The song is a one stanza song with different music expression in 3 stages.
Part 1 deals with the river as a binding natural geographical entity flowing into different
communities that make up Yewáland.
Part 2 talks about our vocation, industry and the main agrarian nature of Yewa People.
It relates it to the industrious capabilities of Yewa People and the fact that Yewa is the
Gateway to the economy of the nation Nigeria. This is why Ogun State is tagged “The
Gateway State”.
Our purpose in general is to prevent social exclusion and promote social inclusion and community strengthening through supporting, developing and promoting UNITY within and among YEWA communities and YEWA based community managed organisations.
