  • The Yoruba calendar (Kojoda) year starts from 3 June to 2 June of the following year. According to this calendar, the Gregorian year 1958 was the 10000th year of Yoruba culture. The traditional Yoruba week has four days. The 4 days that are dedicated to the Orisa go as follow: * Day 1 is dedicated to Obatala (Sopanna, Iyaami and the Egungun) * Day 2 is dedicated to Orunmila (Esu and Osun) * Day 3 is dedicated to Ogun (Osoosi) * Day 4 is dedicated to Sango (Oya) To reconcile with the Gregorian calendar, Yoruba people also measure time in seven days a week and four weeks a month. The four day calendar was dedicated to the Orisas and the seven day calendar is for doing business. Time is measured in isheju (minutes), wakati (hours), ojo (days), ose (weeks), oshu (months) and odun (years). There are 7 ojo in 1 ose; 4 ose in 1 oshu and 52 ose in 1 odun. There are 12 oshu in 1 odun.
