My name is John. A Nigerian soldier who operated in Sierra Leone. My location use to be this same York, Guma valley, Tokeh, Kailondo, Kent. Tombo, Milton Magai college, to Goodrich. It was during the war, but I love this country. God bless Sierra Leone.
Wow !! York village have so much in common with village's in Jamaica , as you know Sierra Leone and Jamaica have very strong history . Thanks for bringing this video . Guidance Sister .
So, Sierra Leone and Jamaica have a history because, many Jamaicans are decendants of Sierra Leone slaves, our ancestors. Secondly, the colonial masters and the Krios brought in 100s or more, Jamaican Maroons to help fight the Natives or rather, forcefully hold on to lands that were illegitimately taken whilst grabbing a lot more. King Tom and Naimbana were not educated. They did not understand what the Whites and the Krios were trying to do until it was too late. That was why they tried to get their lands back. The Jamaica Moroons were also used to fight the Natives further inland. Remember Freetown was a small land - cotton tree to krootown road and a little further up government wharf. Mendes actually conquered most of Sierra Leone before breaking up and largely retreating to the South/East, for many good reason but also occupied the coastlines together with the Sherbros. That includes the western peninsula and the north/south coastlines and islands. The Sherbros were the first to receive the western style of education. They also are guilty of selling many illiterate Mande/Mende people. Many were taken to Jamaica. Jamaica Maroons are decendants of many of those people, our ancestors.

Hi grace I am just thinking I should visit this african country. I am living in Antigua 🇦🇬 a Caribbean 🏝 in a village by the name of Freetown and my village Is also surrounded by water just like this village the land scape similarities is just the same wow!!!
Awesome!! One of the enslaved returnees was Bishop Ajayi Crowther. He came back to Nigeria via Freetown. He was the grandfather of Herbert Olayinka Macaulay. *Some* of the enslaved returnees left Freetown for Lagos. They became household names in Lagos.
Thanks for documenting historical data. Those who are conversant with West African history will definitely appreciate some of these amazing videos. Some of the Krios did at some point traced their roots and returned to places like Lagos and Abeokuta Nigeria.🇳🇬🇬🇧
You are spot on, the Krio returnees were called Saro in Lagos! Some other freed slaves came from Brazil ( Amaros) and Cubans ( Agudas), And they moved in as far as Warri, Port Harcourt and Calabar as well as Abeokuta! Truly truly, blood is thicker than water!
Thank you for showcasing our beautiful Sierra Leone land that we love🇸🇱 for all my adult lives that I live there I never know about a place called York except for recent watching from you and all the youtubers
We have to know the history of how our Ancestors survived during the slave trade. Terrible times.Thank you Grace for showing us this important history.
Indeed!! Sierra Leone is like a hidden paradise filled with beautiful scenery and rich history. I believe you have found your niche. Keep creating these types of videos when you travel to each country. Very informative and educational.
When I was in Sierra Leone in school, we used to go to York village for picnic. It's a beautiful Place with all kinds of fruits tree. ALSO WE WOULD SWIM all day long until in the evening before we go back to town. Thanks for sharing.
That cave is called Foriwater. I would assume many of those Africans were brought to the south eastern part of the USA and are now the Gullah Geechee people. Elizabeth may have been there during the 1st or 2nd World War...appreciate that information sista Grace and to the brotha.
Wow, i just came across your videos today,thank you for showing us the York Community. I'm a Sierra Leonean I've never seen what York looks like before
Virtue Grace, well done! You do well!! I honestly can't get over all the Euro-centric names that blanket all of Salone. So much so, I can't even get mad about the Sani Abacha Street. Anyways, keep it up. PS: help us salute Tigress, in her moment of distress.
Thank you my dear! That panoramic view is breathtaking! Beckoning, saying, Come! I remember being one of those children, running along beside the car. On another note, that cave crushed me. I felt a pang in my chest. Perhaps, my ancestors were crammed in that place. Nevertheless, you scored as always. Wonder how you're going to top this one?
you have people putting fire on cotton tree. ruining our history. And Ppl thinking krio bod ose are ugly and making d city old they want to remove them. ur right we should preserve our histry. Look at scotland, half of the city is old buildings and it their history. But backward PPL dont want this.
You have good content you try to bring very informative content the scenery look to me like Jamaica but I'm sure it looks like lots of other places you're from Nigeria. people are always talking about how similar Jamaica is To Ghana but from my experience watching Nigerian movies for many years I think Nigeria is more similar to Jamaica to me at least the people the culture and the attitude of the people are very similar to Jamaican people even the way you guys talk but I find out Sierra Leone is very similar also to those two countries
I agree completely. Back in the days, there were regions and kingdoms, not individual countries as today, so West Africa comprised many of today’s countries such as Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. I have thought and still believe that there are strong similarities between Jamaicans and Nigerians and of course Sierra Leonians as you pointed out.
Yes Mr Pinnock! You are spot on ! What you are really saying in effect, is that WE ARE ALL INDEED ONE PEOPLE!!! Culturally and perhaps even ethnically, the Krio people are probably the most similar to Nigerians on the West African coasts, followed by the English speaking Cameroonians! Nigeria has always had a huge population , right back to even before the transatlantic slave trade begun! It is fair to summarise that the bulk of Africans captured and sold into slavery came from the south coast of Nigeria! And that is why the customs and traditions of the Yoruba, the Kalabari, the Efiks and the Igbos remain predominant and prevalent amongst the various black diasporans in the Caribbean and South America! This is also reflected in the numbers of returning freed slaves from Brazil, Jamaica, England and Cuba to West Africa ! It’s been a merry( unmerry perhaps) go round for us Black people!
Everyone seems to always ignore and overlook liberia which in culture and accent is the most similar to both carribbean and African american English, especially the Barbadian accent but as per usual liberia gets overlooked. Shame really
@ Hassan C 😆Somebody wanted to chew my head off! for acknowledging Virtue Grace portfolio of content of Sierra Leone. I have scanned their channels I think it's a side hobbie at this moment for most of them. They do not see it, as a serious craft, industry or source of revenue. Only 1 Sierra Leonean has been monitised! The rest are just throwing camera around uploading footage and calling it content creating. Sierra Leone has content for days. You have to know, why you have a channel. Know what you want the viewers to experience. You have to go online and study the craft of producing content. Use your phone, film, edit and upload. As you grow, upgraded your filming gears. Maybe, Virtue Grace has sparked something for them to know they are sleeping on their money 😄
@@doreenonekalit9888 Doreen you should check out (Suntia Ronald ) she was at york village and her video was very informative if not more informative and detailed than this, check her youtube channel her contents her really good, she was at york village and her content was very very good she is sierra leonean also Issadin K his camare skills and content is really amazing he has a drone and his videos are truly top-notch.

@@rosemond1644 I have watched her videos, under 5k, she is trying, if you ask my honest opinion. She still got some ways to go. She has the enthusiasm for making content, but I didn't feel the personality, she is filming and uploading she hasn't figured out how to put it creatively together yet. Wishing her well. I have Sub to her channel. At the moment, I think Antoinette is the only Sierra Leonean Utuber, that has figured that out. That's why she is getting the views. If she can up her consistency and creativity, she can be a great contributor in the Sierra Leonean Utube Space. She has a street food series at the moment, were she spends a few hours vending these speciality snacks. She has done two so far. There is another girl, that's a Makeni law Student that does interesting vlogs contents. Utube is about creative video content that are educational and entertaining that brings value, in terms of knowledge to the viewers. Or authentic lifestyle vlogs creatively put together. You can have one or the other for a Channel. Or both creatively balanced to a channel. Sissie Yemmie of Nigeria is the perfect Hallmark of a Utube Channel.
Thank you Virtue Grace for the great content of showing us the beautiful Sierra Leone love every bit of it especially the history of the village thanks again
The Krios spread out along the coast. Many came to Ghana (Gold Coast) and served as teachers, civil servants, nurses, etc. I was delivered at a maternity home in Ghana run by a Mami Salone. I still remember their very unique clothes. Prominent Ghanaians like the Sawyerrs, Awunoors, etc. have Salone roots.
Thanks for another great and informative video my sister. Keep doing what you are doing creating informative and educative content my dear sister. Your channel will continue to grow. I am glad you know what you are doing not like some confused youtubers who are getting shock in Ghana. They left their village in Nigeria and went to Accra, and they start running their mouth about the two countries. The shocking they are getting in Ghana will kill them one day since they are always getting shocked.
Great work, carve your niche and stay at it. Do not do anything someone is doing. Look the Woda Maya's of the world started just this way now he is corporate and do doing important content.
Virtue Grace my beauty! Please invest in a pair of solid walking boots 🥾 for expeditions like these! Those sandals just won’t do for such beautiful but rugged terrains!
Wonderful Virtue! I just subscribed. I like your energy and personality. Looking at you and Sierra Leonians, I can see strong similarities with Jamaicans. A few of the comments mention this in passing or directly. Hopefully, I will make further contact with you by email. Continue being positive and bring informative content to viewers. Thanks!
Go do a DNA test. Most from Haiti are from the Benin republic. A hand full are from the IGBOS, Yorubas, Akans etc. hopefully you're IGBO. You're light skinned and we the IGBOS are known to have a heavy population of Light skinned people in Nigeria.
And one day we will clarify the name and if the second option of the Sherbros , then the name stays . If it is on the other hand a British, we should reconsider renaming it.
When the IGBOS get Biafra, we will give the krios who are directly of IGBO descent free citizenship. I have heard stories from our IGBO brothers and sisters trading in Freetown and they are in very good relationships with the krios. I am also aware that many of our IGBO brothers are married to them. They are our Kit and kin anyways. We the IGBOS are fed up of Nigeria..
But Freetown was not founded by Krios, Freetown has always been there, my ancestors from Koya gave Freetown to the British for free slave resettlement.
@@hdlioos I am actually speaking pidgin English which is a corrupted version of English spoken in Nigeria but it is similar to Sierra Leonean Krio. We understand each other
Correction, they were enslaved people before they were taken across the Atlantic. They became slaves after they were captured. No place like beautiful mama Salone 💕 ❤️
People should try to know the history of how these lands where claimed or occupied by the Krios. These lands were occupied under the protection of the British colonial masters from the Natives, who unsuccessfully tried to take back their lands. It was not a genuine acquisition by the Krios and British colonial masters. The British colonial masters favoured the Krios and used them as civil servants of the colony. The Krios were also given relative freedom of land in the colony. The Krios are decendants of our(Mende, Temne, Sherbro etc) slave ancestors. The history is comprehensive. The Sherbros traded a lot of slaves too. The Sherbros were actually the first to come in contact with the European slave masters and the first to receive the conventional European education. I could go on but this is not the right place.
Do you guys know that Sierra Leone has the highest peak in West Africa? Loma Mountain - Bintumani. Sierra Leone the deepest natural harbour in Africa. Some of the largest deposits of this and that. Many large rivers rain forests. Check out Tiwai Island, Gola Forrest, Tingi Hills, Loma Mountain. Sierra Leone has many inland Lakes - unexplored and undocumented. Most people talk about Sierra Leone with the very narrow scope of Freetown/Western Peninsula. This is a very TINY part of the Sierra Leone coastal landscape. Well, economically/Financially Sierra Leone should be a very rich country but we are all frustrated.
Sierra Leone is an English speaking country Next time you need a tour guide ask for someone that stayed in school So you won't have to waste time with interpretations Thanks for sharing and keep doing what you do

When the IGBOS get Biafra, we will give the krios who are directly of IGBO descent free citizenship. I have heard stories from our IGBO brothers and sisters trading in Freetown and they are in very good relationships with the krios. I am also aware that many of our IGBO brothers are married to them. They are our Kit and kin anyways.
We the IGBOS are fed up of Nigeria..
I am krio with igbo decent with an igbo man😌 interested in going to Nigeria

Many years later I get to see a bit of history showing where a portion of my ancestors originated from and sent into slavery.

Afrika is bless
Link below not opening for part 2
I'm sorry dear, stay tuned, I'll post it today
But Freetown was not founded by Krios, Freetown has always been there, my ancestors from Koya gave Freetown to the British for free slave resettlement.
@angeladumbuya1609 why you lying? Thomas Peters was the founding fathers of Freetown where the fuck you get your facts from lmfao
which is the language your guidance speaking ???
Krio
@@africanstoryteller when and how did you learn it ?!!
The most important is your vedio become more profissional it's like national geographic
@@hdlioos I am actually speaking pidgin English which is a corrupted version of English spoken in Nigeria but it is similar to Sierra Leonean Krio. We understand each other
@@hdlioos nigerians speak this same language.
Correction, they were enslaved people before they were taken across the Atlantic. They became slaves after they were captured. No place like beautiful mama Salone 💕 ❤️
People should try to know the history of how these lands where claimed or occupied by the Krios. These lands were occupied under the protection of the British colonial masters from the Natives, who unsuccessfully tried to take back their lands. It was not a genuine acquisition by the Krios and British colonial masters. The British colonial masters favoured the Krios and used them as civil servants of the colony. The Krios were also given relative freedom of land in the colony. The Krios are decendants of our(Mende, Temne, Sherbro etc) slave ancestors. The history is comprehensive. The Sherbros traded a lot of slaves too. The Sherbros were actually the first to come in contact with the European slave masters and the first to receive the conventional European education. I could go on but this is not the right place.
Do you guys know that Sierra Leone has the highest peak in West Africa? Loma Mountain - Bintumani.
Sierra Leone the deepest natural harbour in Africa. Some of the largest deposits of this and that. Many large rivers rain forests.
Check out Tiwai Island, Gola Forrest, Tingi Hills, Loma Mountain.
Sierra Leone has many inland Lakes - unexplored and undocumented. Most people talk about Sierra Leone with the very narrow scope of Freetown/Western Peninsula. This is a very TINY part of the Sierra Leone coastal landscape.
Well, economically/Financially Sierra Leone should be a very rich country but we are all frustrated.
More development should have been visible after more than 2 centuries... Guys please work harder..

York the land of strangers.
Sierra Leone is an English speaking country
Next time you need a tour guide ask for someone that stayed in school
So you won't have to waste time with interpretations
Thanks for sharing and keep doing what you do
