dc.description.abstractA discourse on the Yorùbá socio-cultural heritage is an excavation of aspects of the people’s ingenuity in the attempt to conquer nature and create peaceful social existence. A typical Yorùbá person is expected to have a very good knowledge of his/her cultural past and be able to transmit this to the future generation. The knowledge required in this area is acquired informally through participation in community activities. The objective of this article was to examine some aspects of the Yorùbá socio-cultural heritage as portrayed in the practice of the Kegite Movement in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Participant observation method of data collection which involved the researcher himself in the research setting was adopted. The article also adopted a socio-cultural theory for its analysis. Among the findings revealed in the study were that the Kegite Movement promoted aspects of the Yorùbá heritage which involved entrenching associations, teaching and enhancing morals through music, method of selecting a king and his chiefs, use of language, and use of palmwine for entertainment purpose. This article concludes that the Kegite Movement has been a virile organisation towards promoting the Yorùbá socio-cultural heritage and in uniting the youth in Nigerian tertiary institutions.en_US
