Ayo is a Yoruba game native to Nigeria, it can be clasified as a mancala game but its rules are distinct and advanced game play can be complex[edit]
I begin this article with a section from a song that many sporting teams who have had the pleasure of playing against any nigerian team would have heard, it goes: 'Ayo,ayo,ayo, ayo, ayo' I will submit a musical renditon at a later date for those who are yet to hear this victory chant, but for the purpose of this article use the space in between the words as a pause.

Comparing the Ghanian game called Owari to the Ayo native to Yoruba land is like saying baseball is an alias for cricket, though they share similarities, they are completely different games at the end of the day; mastery of one is not characteristically transferable to the other, so the Wikipedia entry is in dire need of overhaul. The very best [1] article on the Yoruba Ayo game is to be found on the BBC website called Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy h2g2 by a Yoruba man of the name Seth Of Rabi.
