Yoruba Demons: Heartbreakers Extraordinaire

Hold your horses! A Yoruba demon is not what you might imagine it to be. I’ll explain.

While this is not a beginner’s class in demonology, the Yoruba demon is really a topic of controversy, owing to the fact that many believe it entails an actual demon. But, of course, this isn’t Tokyo Ghoul.

I’m not here to discuss the existence of demons, but rather a particular one. One that doesn’t look like a demon, at all.

Contrary to popular belief, a Yoruba demon is human, yet a monster all the same.

So how can you recognize a Yoruba demon? What are the pros and cons of a relationship with such guys? Let’s find out.

Who Is A Yoruba Demon?

A Yoruba demon is simply a Yorubad boy.

Yoruba demon is slang for a young man, typically of Yoruba descent, who appears to be gifted and prolific in all ramifications of life. The words Yoruba demon started as a joke on social media platforms in 2015, but now we use it as an ethnic slur or insult. An insult well-deserved, I assure you.

Typically, we associate Yoruba demons with wedding parties (Owambe); they are usually the groom’s men. They usually wear Yoruba native attire such as Agbada, Buba, Sokoto, and Fila. Yoruba demons are, stereotypically, always neat and smartly dressed.

Attributes or characteristics associated with Yoruba demons include a slick tongue, fashionable dressing, flirting and lying, being surrounded by beautiful women, being sociable, and having articulate accents.

A Yoruba demon is a man who courts a woman without any serious intentions. You can meet one at almost any higher-end party where they almost always wear a white Agbada. Hopefully, this will help you to recognize such a guy when you see one.

General Ways To Spot A Yoruba Demon

Before we go into the intimate details of how to spot a demon, let us first look at some of the common factors they share. These factors will allow you to spot (or at the very least suspect) them from a mile away.

He dresses well and smells good: Being a smart dresser is part of the entire plan. Women love smart dressers, especially those who smell nice too.
He is Yoruba with a Yoruba first name: Might have said this is too stereotypic for my taste, but research, based on the foundations of many weeping hearts, supports this theory. Having a Yoruba name suggests he is from the Southwestern part of Nigeria. Places like Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo. The likes of Femi, Tolu, Tobi, and Olamide are the most popular names of these young men, but having any proper Yoruba first name is the first step.
He says a lot of sweet words: They praise your beauty a lot. Some might not have money but one thing they will always have is very sweet words to sweep you off your feet.
He chokes you with love: The first month you meet him, he doesn’t give you any breathing space. You feel love-bombed with frequent calls, texts, and gifts just to run away at the mention of a deeper commitment. These features above are not bad in themselves; it is the lack of commitment and the short span of affection that is the clear red flag.

What is a Yoruba boy without a posh hairstyle or a stylish beard? They make a demon look even more seductive.

How A Yoruba Demon Talks

The following phrases are common with Yoruba demons.

”I am not one of them.” He will repeat this on every occasion.
”I think we shouldn’t tell anyone about us.” This probably means that he’s fully packed with a wife, 4 kids, and 5 lovers all living in different parts of the world. This is why he won’t spend his holidays with you.
”I have no one else to talk to other than you.” This is definitely nonsense. He most certainly tells this to all the girls.
”I’m positively over her.” This is what he says about his ex. However, the other day he may feel that connection with her and trade you for her like a piece of cake.
”We boys always book a table at this club.” This never means you will be his guest number one even if he made some effort to convince you to join them. He will most probably bring other women to the table.
“Do we really need to label this?” It’s his way of saying that you are just his summer fling and there’s no chance of any serious continuation.
“I date her but I’m not with her.” However, she is his Instagram DP and he has pics with her all over his Facebook. Even if you see wedding pictures, he’ll tell you it was just a photo shoot.

How A Yoruba Demon Behaves

Here are the intimate details.

They are hugely into looks. These guys are drawn almost exclusively to gorgeous women with toned bodies and beautiful smiles.
They prefer first-rate packaging. A demon is always after a woman who doesn’t only look stunning, but also is fashionably dressed and can keep a pleasant conversation. They are definitely not into the “beauty of the inner world” or feminism supporters.
Demons are attracted to successful women. They almost always choose an independent woman whose life is well-planned and who has a stable income whether from her own business or from a rich father.
They prefer decent women. Demons will never make a girl with loose sexual morals their girlfriend. Instead, they would prefer a refined lady who is wild in bed. They also avoid any complicated dramatic relationships.
They do get married but with much younger girls. Yoruba men normally settle down under the age of 40 but they will seldom choose their permanent girlfriend for this because she is normally too old and boring for them by the time Yoruba demons are ready for marriage.
Demons are infamous cheaters and liars.
They will normally hunt for ideal single women at weddings.
Swag is the demons’ greatest weapon. They are smiley and charming and boost like hell!
They move in groups of other demons

A Final Word From Battabox

Sure, Yoruba demons may seem great, but they are mostly suitable for platonic friendships. Anything intimate might end up shattering your heart into a million pieces that you will never be able to pick up. A word is enough for the wise.
