YORÙBÁ NAMING CEREMONY – LIVE RADIO SHOW SCRIPT Host: Good day, dear listeners! Welcome to Ìbílè Heritage Hour, your favorite program where we celebrate the beauty of Yorùbá culture. I am [Your Name], and today, we will be talking about a very important and joyful tradition in Yorùbá culture—the Ìsomọlorúkò (naming ceremony). The Yorùbá people believe that a name carries great meaning and power. It is not just an identity but a prayer, a blessing, and sometimes a prophecy about the child’s future. That is why a child’s name is carefully chosen and given with deep thought and significance. WHEN DOES THE NAMING CEREMONY TAKE PLACE? Traditionally, the Yorùbá naming ceremony takes place on the eighth day after a child’s birth. This is when family, friends, and well-wishers gather to celebrate the newborn and officially give the child a name. HOW DOES THE CEREMONY HAPPEN? The ceremony starts with prayers and bless
