- The Wollof ethnic group of the Senegambia region are very fascinating people. Their tradition, culture, and political lifestyle has been very influential within the Senegambia region. There is so much more to be said about the Wolof people but I could not possibly cover all of it in one video.

Wollofs are tall,dark and beautiful. They are very intelligent, hard working and helpful. The Wollofs are known for helping the people who need help. They are not selfish. I believe the reason Senegal had such a success story is due to the Wollof people. Great people all together.
I'm glad you admire the wolof people. But remember we are people too😂😂haha. Not all wolofs are good
We are all good we gives all our land for people free of charges, in my village of kombo we gives land to almost all the tribes to settled there on top of that we gave them land to farm and do gardening..
@@Amiiluv_06 be positive and see the positive
We are all good people
Hard Reality dear!
Great ! I'm wolof from Senegal, lebou is not ethnic it's a part of wolof tribe, the only different between them is accent, we have the same families names, traditions, and culture ,we speak the same language and understand each other 100%. The only different is the way they speak wolof. Lebou is a dialect in wolof language not a ethnic group, thank u ,u doing a great job
what is the relgion politesitic or animistic in wolof islam and chsitians destroy us all antique relgions in all África where is survive this cultur and relgions traditional animisitc in wolof
Wolof are our people btw😹.. from South Sudan.
@@aliermagok8793 yup bro , wolof tribe migrated to west afrika after kush kingdom breakdown, we wolofs dinkas and nuer are one people
@@aliermagok8793 exactly bro
@@aliermagok8793how do you know they are from South Sudan?
The Burrs or kings like: Lat Dior Diop and Njaajan Ndiaye fought fiercely with others against slave capturers and against colonisation, many lost their lives fighting against foreign invaders they must be credited.
Lat Dior Diop Is My great great great grand uncle Sayer Jobe/Diop Is my great great great grandfather 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Didn’t know this I am an African American with a Wolof father I had some shame bc Wolof were responsible for selling 1/3 of Africans in that region into slavery to the americas. I am actually an Njie so that warms my heart to know my ancestors were apart of the resistance
do you mean Ndiadiane Ndiaye and this is a matter of spelling, can you tell me were i can read more about what you said since you are going back to 1300s which sounds interesting.
Dear Sir - After visiting the mother land and watching many different vlogs on African nations - I find you are providing high quality and very important information and insight - please continue - we very much need the type of content you are providing.
Ma'at Hotep ,thank you for. sharing,I'm Wolof on my Mom side of our family, my great great great Grandmother here in the Diaspora,100 years between myself and my 3greatgrand mother, she was born 1850,and I was born in the year of 1950! Ase'Ase'Ase' to my ancestor !
Lebou isn’t an ethnic group. Its a dialect inside the Wolof tribe. They speak Wolof. Only the tongue and accent different them from the other wolofs
I met a Fulani man in 2000 in a village on my visit to Mali. In our discussion he told me that his ancestors were from Ethiopia. According to my local Fula'ani means went away. As Fulani's are pastoralists, I thought it could be but needs further study. One thing exiting, I heard local Fulani listening to Ethiopian music. I also bought Ali Farakan Ture songs that has similar pitch to my songs and are still with me. The Fulani history should be deeply studied.
You forget to mention Jolloff kingdom ( south east of Walo kingdom). It is where the king is BuurBa and the Njaay or ndiaye family name were the Kings .
The conglomeration of Waalo, Kajorr, Bawol, Sine and Saloum together constituted the Jollof Kingdom it should be mentioned, it later splitted into the mentioned different states.
@@goldendame138but there's a region also called Jollof. The people from the different regions are called Saloum saloum, Baol baol, Walo walo, jollof jollof, etc
@@goldendame138no ! Jolof was (still IS ) a Region appart.. who dominated the other King who become part of the Djolof empire (Djolof, Kaajor, Waalo, Bawol, Saalum, Sine, Part of Tekruur, and other region in the south .. like Ngaabu etc ...)
peace Brotha. Sammy's Treasure sent me here. thank you for the history lesson
Great content my brother! This is well put together!
@Rahman Bojang thank you very much for your candid support my brother.

Thanks so much bor
The Lebous are wolof, they speak another variety/accent of wolof language
Thanks bro blessings!
Beautiful lesson, it’s a blessing ❤️ keep the great works coming. Jarejef
Tanks big brother
You are doing great.
Dinka and Nuer of South Sudan have something in common with Wolof people of Senegambia
Am enjoying this just watch ur Fulani episode.
informative , fascinating video It would be interesting to know their beliefs. Africa is yet to be discovered. Perhaps it's a case of , "Save the best for last." There - is a calm and a kindness- flowing from you. Best of luck.
Interesting am a new subscriber
Hi 👋 I love 💕 what you are doing please keep it up 😗😗❣️
My maternal great great great great grandma, Marguerite Hayes Guillory, the freed slave married to Gregoire Guillory is from Senegambia. Are there any relatives still around. We're searching for her side of the family.
Awesome history lesson. Thanks for sharing!
The Wolof people have a very Interesting story, I have to seewhat connection they have with the Fulha people. They appeared to have taken the same route from what is called Upper Egypt (Ethiopia) in the east, across West Africa. Nevertheless, you shared any details that are good to know when interacting with their culture.
They took same route from ancient Egypt where man originates from through Mali, there are no native wollof in present day Mali thus it was a travel route for wollofs they have ancient Egyptian origins thus Arabic letters and not words are heard in the language.
The Fulani are the living descendants of the early Green Sahara cultures that actually stretched from Senegambia to the west, to the Sudan Basin region to the east. The Wolof are simply a subgroup of those Green Sahara cultures which were also known as the Punic Civilizations. A major group closely linked to the Wolof that has some of this oral history still intact are the Lebu of Senegal, who still have the name of the historical Fula Berbers (Libu).
@@cuteniece4461 man originates from the great lakes region the congo,tanzania,kenia,uganda from there on they moved up to egypt and to south africa
@@cuteniece4461 Who cares about Egypt west Africans are our own people with a better history.
@@strongflower2083 c’est pas vrai ce que tu racontes la 🤣🤣🤣 mais tu es incroyable les lebous sont des wolofs comme les toucouleurs sont halpoular. Arrêtez de changer l’histoire des wolof à tous bout de champs et arrêtez vos mensonges svp
Black American here with Wolof and Fula according to 23andme.
Our name is not fula, fulani, pel or peul, but Poulo(singular) and Fulbè(Pluriel) please use our original name.
@@Kc-qe5dvSome of y’all do indeed refer to yourself as those names as well
While Im American born i always research my foundation. This is interesting and sad information. Im tied to Wollof and Fulani, so sad to know African people sold each other into slavery. We are the survivors of our ancestors lost
well look up abdul kader Kane and Suleyman Bah those two should make you happy as they fought against slavery, made it illegal in their countries and attacked slave convoys to free slaves and one even wrote a letter to the french governor threatening him to not come these lands cause they'll all die if they come to buy,sell or capture slaves.
Same for me, my maternal lineage is from Senegambia likely via Cape Verde. And after reading more I learned most women from Senegal were Wolof (which makes sense b/c my cousins 23&Me dna results showed we matched Wolof/Fula)
@@char08fal 😍Ur Cape Verdean Descendant 🤔If So I Am Too I'm Half Curaçaoan Half Cape Verdean Bye 👋🏿 🤎✌🏾
@@SHANNY13_96 According to dna it's part of my heritage. My family is Black American so our ancestors came from all over
Well our local oral historians tell us a different story. Your source is the white man and their story is not entirely true. We had slaves but that's just societal hierarchies
Ten percent of my genetics is from Senegal. Twenty percent is dispersed in different African countries. I am proud of my ancestors from Africca.
may be your ancestor is a wolof warrior "the ceddo" who were cimarron(slave warrior)
Lamaranga, miss you Gambia videos. Hope all is well.
D E Raptor I am doing great just busy with other stuffs, but I will be back soon God willing. I hope you are doing great as well

Luv It 🤎From Cv🇨🇻✊🏾 ✌🏾

Saloum is in Senegal.
Good history. They have influence in hip hop too.
And AAVE
Where are you from, and what’s your family’s ethnic group? I’m African American, originally from South Carolina in the US, and you look very much like a South Carolinian African American.
Am from Gambia in West Africa
23 and me brought me here. I'm 2 percent wolof wooo
wow
I’m 3% Wolof, may have a little more. But I’m mostly Bambara, Mandinka, Yoruba, Igbo, some type of Congolese, and Ethnic groups from Benin/Togo, and Ghana
M’y Gréât Grand father was a King Ka Bannnker does this ring a bell for you
Bro are you a fulani
What is the link between Wolof and Jieng (Dinka) people of South Sudan 🇸🇸 we looked alike
We are cousin with sudanese people. Our ancestors came from nile valley..All Dinka/Nuer are our blood..we are descendants of sudan in West africa....
I’m trying to figure that out too, there’s definitely a connection
Such a great video. Many Wolof were brought as slaves to Hispaniola and I can trace some of my roots to them. This greatly helps me reconnect.
Wolof can speak from Senegal 🇸🇳 to Gambia 🇬🇲 loal languages from French speaking to English speaking country?
Salaam. Wollof are ancient Lebu people early migrants to Senegal from North. They didn’t originate from Mali but came earlier. Fulah are migrants from North & Middle East. Serer are from Senegal. Jolah from Gambia/Casamance. Mandinka from Mande in Mali.
Stop lebu is subgroup of wolof from North eastern of egypt like wolof because all lands of North were part of egypt.
This is the reason why Africa falls behind in industrial development. You notice in any of the countless ethnic groups across the continent the people with the skills to design and fabricate are always classified as the lowest within their society.
Elaborate?
What about ngoyane music 🎶
I'm trying to find info on Bannaka/Bannakee/ Bannaker . Either him or his father was supposed to be the King of a tribe in 1600s or 1700s. Sold into slavery and brought to Virginia or Maryland . It's hard finding info so I'm grasping at straws here lol
What do you mean by slaves today? There is a group in wolof society still being called slaves? Are they free? I'm really confused.
We have caste system which is basically a class hierarchy and royals are at the top and slaves are at the bottom. No one is in hard labor. Everyone is free. You inherit your class in society based on your ancestors class which is their trade/skill and money can't buy you class
@@chattipapam5211 I just think calling people slaves because of their amcestry is harsh. There isn't a better term?
Wolof are 46% population in senegal *
So Seereer women dressed in Seereer woven clothes, and Seereer & Tukuloor hair design are now Wolof? Awesome! I didn’t realise that. Lol. Mbalax music which came from the ultra conservative Seereer njuup music tradition is now Wolof! Awesome! I didn’t realise that either. The sabar drum and music motif tradition which originated from the Seereer Kingdom of Siin, made it's way to the Seereer Kingdom of Saluum where the Wolof immigrants in Saluum exported it to the Wolof Kingdoms apparently originated from the Wolof also according to this guy. Never realised that either, but thanks for telling us. This is so sad. If you are going to talk about any particular ethnic group in the Senegambia region, please at least do proper research and read books about the history of the people and their real culture rather than falsely representing other ethnic group's culture and history as Wolof. The biggest hole in this video is that, there is no such thing as a Wolof ethnic group. Wolof is more a culture than an ethnic group (similar to Creole). The so called Wolof are a mixture of various ethnic groups, predominantly Seereer, Tukoor, etc. Even their so-called ancestor Njaajaan Njaay was of a Seereer father and a Tukuloor mother. Even his name is Seereer, hence why you have to go to Seereer sources and the Seereer language to decipher the meaning of his name, as his name means absolutely nothing in Wolof. For the etymology of his name, one has to go to the source language: Seereer. It is so sad that some of these so-called Wolofs, especially the young, are regurgitating any rubbish without actually studying their history properly, e.g., books, interviewing elders, etc. So sad!
Stop your false informations about wolof as group of ethnic.
You will never tired to deny wolof community by jealousy but you will die..wolof is older than all others called ethnic in senegal same our language.
Im wolof in all my lineage...so i m not mandingo fulani etccc.
So how wolof people is like sereres so dark if we came from others ethnic..why we dont understand others language in senegal..
Your real matters with wolof tribe is jealousy but you will speak wolof by force because you have no choice...

Oh so that's why my friend who is sereer said to me that wolof isn't an ethnuc group?
Sine and Saloum are Serer kingdoms
@crs nightshift that you very much for your comment. I did mention in the video that Sine and Saloum are more of serere kingdoms and that the Wolofs, Lebu, and Serere people have a very close relation with the Wolofs, just like that of the Fulas and Tukulor people have very close relation.
Walo tribe is more Like East Africa. Likes somalis. Sudans.
The king in these Kingdom All always Wolof or from Wolof descendant ..
In Saalum, the wolof community was the Majority.. I am a wolof from Saalum..
There are many ethnic group here in Saalum but the Majority IS wolof , and in the past the kingdom administration was from the wolof.
Boy Pulo, you tried but please do more research before talking about the wolofs. The wolof states were Jollof, Waalo, Baol, Kajor, Sine and Saloum and present day Gambia fall in the Saloum region.
The wolof empire not kingdom
Do u no different between empire and Kingdom? How big is wolof state.u have jollof kingdom consists of waalo,kayol ,saloum, sine,Boal, how can those state gave u empire?empire is huge area strength from over 15 countries in today's map.
Empire and kingdom are English words
Chill out.
Reewmi is wolof
The wollof kingdoms gain independence and break away from Mali empire after its collapse in the 15th century. Mordern day Senegal as a vessel state of mali empire.
U don't nothing about wolof people u are peul from guinea u guys are so jealous why u don't wanna. U need to tell u home history what about guinea 🇬🇳 😏
No baby never defeat the wolof people ok in we don't have no slave in wolof society .maybe u guys ustou be slave by the Arab u look like Arab too me 🤣🤣
You’re immature. He’s kind and he’s making an effort. You should be appreciative.
Just learned I came from the Wolof peoples 🫶🏾
