ÀṢÀ ÀTI ÌṢẸ YORÙBÁ (IBÉERE)Àwọn wo ni àwọn Yorùbá ń kí ni ‘Àrẹpọ́n àrèdú o’?
Explanation
The greeting “Àrẹpọ́n àrèdú o” is given to the aláró, the traditional dyer. The Yoruba dye cloth with indigo (àrò), and the greeting refers to that work.
Each Yoruba trade has its own greeting, which shows respect for the worker.
