The traditional shelter of the Yoruba people in Nigeria is often a rectangular mud-brick structure with a thatched roof. The walls are usually made from locally sourced materials like mud or clay, with designs and patterns often incorporated into the walls. These structures are known for being cool and well-ventilated, suitable for the region's hot climate.

The Yoruba people engage in various economic activities, including agriculture, trading, and artisanal crafts. They produce crops such as yams, cassava, and cocoa for both subsistence and commercial purposes. Trading has historically been significant, with many Yoruba people involved in local and international trade networks.

The main characters in "Yoruba: African Magic in Latin America" by Migene Gonzalez-Wippler are the Orishas, which are the deities or gods in the Yoruba religion. These Orishas play a central role in the spiritual practices and beliefs of the Yoruba people in Africa and their descendants in the diaspora, particularly in Latin America. The book explores the influence and worship of the Orishas in the context of Afro-Caribbean religions like Santería, Candomblé, and Vodou.
