Hearing you, a continental west African person, legitimately acknowledge us black Americans as an ethnicity but to speak to our origins not as bastards but actually coming from that forced mixing brings tears to my eyes. It may seem trivial to other continentals or scoffed at by 1st and some 2nd gen Nigerian Americans and even other west Africans but it means a lot. It truly does.
Wow this video means so much to me. My family members and I are often asked if we are Nigerian but my family history is from North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. These are the first slave states in the USA. So I finally got my DNA test done to see where my ancestors are from. Turns out I am more than half Nigerian. Almost 61% and I am pround!
Thank you Dr. Catel for your explanation of Yoruba verbs. Our African American Vernacular English has been heavily criticized in America. Many ppl have accused us of be unintelligent when if fact we are still carrying on our cultures from Africa. Amazing. Thank you
I love these videos, but I always get unnerved by the optical illusion of the circular light in the sunglasses. It makes it look like the presenter has giant glowing hollow eyes that recess deep into his skull.
Dear Doctor, you have taught us about the Trans Sahara Slave Trade, the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, but not the internal African Slave Trade. Of course the internal Nigerian Slave Trade is ancient, but when did it end? It seems that Colonialism ended the Nigerian Slave Trade, which if true, would mean the Nigerian Slave Trade ended with the mass enslavement of the region (of sorts). Please help us understand this particularly thorny history. Thank you for your series, you’ve inspired me to read more, and purchase “The History Of West Africa”, which you only briefly FLASHED at the camera in an opening (well played Sir).
Peace. Enjoying your presentations. I recently did a DNA test via African Ancestry and discovered that I have some Hausa Fulani ancestry via Cameroon which is what lead me to your videos for my own research. I noticed that you mentioned the Hausa people’s as some of those captured for slavery. I’ve always suspected that our kinsmen were involved in the trade but with no idea to what it extent. I appreciate your lessons. Peace.
In a lot ofAmerican southern dishes we use, like black eyed peas, Lima beans, butter beans we cook okra in it.. Just like in the south we sometimes eat our greens 🥬 and cornbread mashed together with hands.. Only in our homes but in we use spoons and forks..lol
THE BRAZILIAN SPEACK TODAY MANY WORLD FROM YOURUBA, THE BRAZILIAN CULTURE TODAY HAS A LOT OF YOURUBA PEOPLE. NIGERIA AND ANGOLA ARE THE 2 AFRICANS COUNTRIES WICH MORE INFLUENZE LEFT IN BRAZIL. WICH MAKE ME PROUND TO BE BRAZILIAN. I SAVED YOUR CHANEL AND I LEFT THE LIKE. THANK YOU FOR THE HISTORY YOU SHOW ME HERE.
I AM BRAZILIAN AND I AM SHAME WHAT MY EUROPEAN PAST HAVE DONE TO THE AFRICAN PEOPLE, SPECIAL NIGERIAN. IN THE CITY OF SALVADOR OF BAHIA , WAS THE FIRST CAPITAL OF BRAZIL A LL THE NEGATIVES FACTS HAPPENED IN THE PAST I CAN SAY YOURUBA FOOD, RELIGION AND LANGAGEM IS POPULAR IN BRAZIL, MAY BE THE ONLY AFRICAN LANGAGEM IN THE CONTINENT AMERICAS. THE MOST BRAZILIANS, LIKE ME, SUPPORT NIGERIA IN THE FUTEBOL, DUE THE LINKS WE HAD IN THE PAST AND WE SHOUT GET MORE CONECTION IN THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE.
We were all taught in school that mungo park discovered river niger lol BruH we’ve been here the whole time. The brainwashing is deep , my kids will be home schooled till they’re 11 years old
The Benin-Edo region went into slavery in a considerable highest numbers along with the Yorubas. Your information isn't 100% - As an African American myself- I know our DNA/Gene pool shows the Benin markings way more. Even the whole Haitian people are majorly Benin- and folks from North/South Carolina/Louissianna. Thank You

I am a home grown Nigerian…I also feel the tears…. How we destroyed ourselves, my we heal the pain of our common history

Thank you for these videos.. I know you stated that you do this for Nigerians, but this is great for us in the diaspora as well..

God Bless you Dr Catel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Yoruba culture has survived here in New Orleans LA in the US. The religious practices had to be done in secret.
Excellent breakdown once again

I like how you breakdown the timeline. Good job.

You've taught me a lot of stuff I didn't even know.
My broda….you are good! God bless your efforts!
THANK YOU FOR THE HISTORY LESSONS.

The word okra is derived from the term "okiri" which is the Igbo word for okra.
You should do a video with Phil Scott from the Advise Show.

My results didn't include Edo. They include Yoruba and people from Cameroon and small amount of actual Berber.
You don't get it do you. Yorùbá is just invented?
