Yes, the ewes “eves” settled in ile ife, and Oyo Nigeria. The Ga -adangbes “guin” settled in Ile ife and edo state: Benin city Nigeria. That’s why our language sounds familiar. Yoruba sounds like a mother language to all. Thanks for this video. One day we will unite once again. “Togo, Benin, Ghana, Nigeria”.
I am an Anlo Ewe. All the Ewe words you mentioned were on point. At a point I thought you were an Ewe ooo. Yes we once settled at Ile Ife before migrating.....
Thank you for this. 🎉 In Nigeria 🇳🇬 there are several Eʋe groups. Not only at Ketu, and Gbadagri. The Aja are Eʋes, the Gun are also Eʋes. There are many within Rep of Benin and Togo as well.

In haitian vodou we have a language call langay which have words from west African languages of those sent to haiti . In langay we have alou which is from awu which means cloths.we also have Va which means come .now if im not mistaken the word wo means them not you in ewegbe. In langay theres 2 ways of saying iwo which is iwo or iwou(iwu)
Trousers is dzokoto( mostly for knickers but also applies to trousers) or atakpui for shorts and atalegbe for trousers. Ps: you did great with the pronunciations
The Ewe’s are descendants of Ga’s….We split due to some traveling issues…When we came from Nigeria(Ga’s)we settled in Ho the Volta Region of Ghana but left Ho to settle in Accra but some didn’t wanted to travel anymore so they settled finally in Ho…we took the Ga language from the Yoruba people of Nigeria and changed it to Ga and Ga to Ewe…so after we split those at Ho changed the Ga language to Ewe but sounded almost same to Ga…This is also why most Ga’s and Ewe marry and have similarities in their Language…We harvest maize this is why we have food similarities too,Kenkey from maize and Banku from maize too…When we settled in Ho our main objective was to have farm lands and water resources…
You're a big lair. That is not our history. Where did you learn this History from? Stop it .don't try to change the history of the Eves ok. The GADANGBE people are our brothers and sisters but that is not our history as you put it.go back to the elders and our history very well. Don't come here and spew forcehold here.
Anthropologist will tell that when people who are bound historically or ethnically. Especially, by languages , cultures and traditions move away from one another or by migration, the language also changes or modified by new generations. So therefore, the Ewe are historically Yoruba or whatever names Omoluwabi might have called themselves in ancient times. (Language modification through pronunciation or writing).
It's IE EFE and Oyo, then one other thing is Yoroaba means they have laid their mate , and we Ewe almost all our names are given based on events and ocerances, my take it maybe that the word Yuroba might the entire empire might have that we have settled here the Yuroba. Because in Ewe Oyo mean they or we have been called. Its really interesting.

Ewe is from Nigeria originally,other countries like ghana and Togo actually corrupt the pronounciation of these words due to migration from Nigeria.Benin king were called Ewedo,another one was called Eweka.A popular roads in both benin city and onitsha is called Eweka road in benin city and upper eweka road in onitsha.Ewe is definitely Nigerian.
@@tonynaye8127 What are you saying,there was Oba eweka or lweka and there is lweka road in benin and upper lweka in onitsha.Even the Nigeria Lady that is head of world trade organization is called lweala,or Eweala.Same word but spelt with the letter I instead of E.
There are geographical names within Nigeria which are Eʋe names here are some and their meanings : Ketu (Within the soil) Keta (head/peak of the soil) Sokoto (Mountains of Soko) there are 88 mountains in this area. Note: all of these place names the Eʋe repeat from Nigeria to Ghana.
I've even heard some Nigerian last names that are Eʋe/Aŋlɔ in Ghana. I watched a Netflix story on Dr. Adadevoh. Her middle name is Ameyo: the first thing that came to my mind was she must be a Saturday-born. My grandmother's middle name is Afiyo (for a Friday-born).

I love your research. Please continue to teach.

Yes the Ewes settled in ILe IFE in Nigeria. The migration of Ewes were made through so many places like Egypt, Israel, Iraq, Sudan, Nigeria and Togo .

Can I get the link to the video please
Great observation,never even realised there were similarities,the one thing I notice,is a lot of Ghanaians having Nigerian last names.
Can give an example, please!
I know Akakpo is an example. I would be glad to know what the others are.
😊😮😮🎉😂

Amazing content but IFA is not a deity
You is also ewo in Eve
That is you (singular).

it is Owoka not Eweka, Owodo not Ewedo. they are Yoruba names

There are geographical names within Nigeria which are Eʋe names here are some and their meanings :
Ketu (Within the soil)

Sokoto (Mountains of Soko) there are 88 mountains in this area.

Sokoto is correct 💯
Send me the video ok
Hiya! Thanks for watching. Here’s the link to the video I talked about th-cam.com/video/e8llcLA99Xk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4DiBCKnJnu26ol76

Dr. Adadevoh is a Ghanaian Ewe living in Nigeria. Her father lived in Nigeria and gave birth to them there.
@@preciouskwamikuagbedzie2103 Ah! Makes sense. Thanks for the details.
you're so beautiful
In Edo language it’s Unu = mouth
In igbo it's ọnu
You in ewe is Ewo ...not wo
Wo is correct. Some Dialectical variations require the E. But the formal pronunciation and spelling is Wo.
Wo with nasal sound like she wrote is precise and very correct
@@hebrewtheblackman wo is them pls ...ewo is you
@@korkuadoboe2910 Wo (with a high intonation) is “they/them”. Wo (with a low intonation) is “you”.
ie: Me lɔ̃ wo (I love you)
Me lɔ̃ wó (I love them).
Ewo is not wrong either, however it is not formal.
Ewes are not Nigerians
Language similarities exist beyond colonial borders
Wrong,it's the benin that calls dress Ewu, yoruba call it aso
Ewu means shirt (or dress) in yoruba as well. Aso is a general word for "cloth" or "fabric."
