His Majesty, King Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi is the 51st and current Ooni of Ile-Ife.

There are many kingdoms and kings in Yorubaland now but Ile-Ife is the first which gave birth to all the others. Oduduwa (Father of the Yorubas) was the first Ooni of Ile-Ife, then the first Yoruba king.
As King Adeyeye is the current successor of Oduduwa, we can say that he is the KING OF THE YORUBAS.

The areas of these countries primarily inhabited by the Yoruba are collectively referred to as Yorubaland ("Ilẹ̀ Odùduwà" or "Ilẹ̀ Káàárọ̀-Oòjíire"). The Yoruba constitute more than 52 million people in Africa, are over a million outside the continent.

- YORUBA is their language (Èdè Yorùbá) with roughly 50 million speakers.
There is a standard Yoruba that is used in literature and media and is spoken in cities. And there are various dialects in the different regions.
Yoruba vocabulary is also used in the liturgical language of Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-American religions.

- YORUBA is also the name given to a religion. "Ìṣẹ̀ṣe" (that is mostly referred to as “yoruba religion”) comprises the traditional religious and spiritual concepts and practice of the Yoruba people.
Many concepts of the Yoruba religion inspired the Vodun practiced by the neighboring Fon and Ewe peoples to the west and also the religion of the Edo people and Igala people to the east.
Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is the basis for a number of religions in the New World, notably Santería, Umbanda, Trinidad Orisha, and Candomblé.
