The Awori is a subgroup of the Yoruba people speaking a dialect of the Yoruba language. The Awori people are the original inhabitants of Lagos State and some parts of Ogun State, namely Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State. The Awori people are landowners, farmers and fishermen.
The Awori migrated first from Ile Ife, through the Oyo Empire and eventually settled in the presentday Lagos. Awori is a Yoruba sub-group, speaking a distinct dialect of the Yoruba language, easily identifiable by native Yoruba language speakers.
Awori people, like most Yoruba dialects love business, parties, music, arts, and are a highly religious people. They often practice Islam, Christianity, as well as the Yorùbá traditional religion, also known as Ìṣẹ̀ṣe.
