Summary
edit| Description |
English: The game of Ayo is mostly played and enjoyed by the Yoruba ethnic group in Nigeria for fun and intelligence. It is otherwise known as 'Awele'.
It consists of 12 holes and 48 seeds (small stone like objects). In the game box, there are six holes on each side which contains four seeds each. The first player begins by moving seeds from his right hand side to the opponent’s side. If the seed-movement terminates in a hole with three or less Ayo seeds, this player picks up the seeds, and seeds from preceding holes, if any. Players take turn until the seeds are exhausted. The player with upper hand is called Ọta, and the weak or the losing player is called Ope. Spectators’ comments on the direction of the game add colour to the game.The aromatic schnapps drink is a dry gin highly preferred by men of inherent dependable strength and Wisdom. Revered as a prayer/libation drink that is sure to connects us to our ancestors. Igbo: Egwuregwu Ayo na-abụkarị ndị agbụrụ Yoruba na Naijiria na-atọ ụtọ maka ọchị na ọgụgụ isi.
