Oyinbo is a Yoruba word used to refer to early Caucasians. In the early 1470s, the first Portuguese berth in Eko, a Yorubaland, presently called Lagos. The word was first used by the Yoruba to describe the Portuguese they saw and later extend to all Europeans who arrived at their shore thereafter. Many years later, the word is used for anyone who is influenced by European tradition, customs, and culture, especially the Enslaved returnees. Nowadays, Oyinbo is generally used to refer to a person of European descent, African people perceived to not be culturally Yoruba or nowadays every other people of any race considered light-skinned. The word is generally understood by most Nigerians and many Africans.
