So that's what Uhuru means! Thanks, Prince Dynast!
Its nice to the the connection between Nigeria and Sierra Leone! Im Nigerian and on my moms side my great grandmother is from sierra Leone. On my dads side my great grandmother is from Brazil.
Hausa wasn't enslaved by the Europeans
Hausas in Nigeria never knew slave trade by the Europeans.....
This history is deep, and I thank you for educating us about the slave trade in Africa.
love what you're doing connecting the spirituality of all our peoples, showing the interrelation between our vast Spiritual System!
Bishop Ajayi Crowther, probably was the most famous recaptive slave of Yoruba tribe. His slave ship was intercepted by the British Royal fleet who were enforcing the slave ban. Please Google Ajayi Crowther. His story will shed more light on the Yoruba-Salone connection.
So true.
@planetolusola ajayi crowther is a horrible example. That dude had a european mindset, pushing a european religion and philosophy. He even misinterpreted the bible, now most yorubas think "Esu" is the devil.
Who was selling the Yoruba? The mostly affected Yoruba land affected by slavery were Western part of Yorubaland close to the Fon of Dahomey and Togoland. The Fon were responsible for 80% of enslavement of the Yoruba with the conspiracy of the Portuguese. The Fon were also victims of slavery from the Oyo-Yoruba empire. Millions of Fon were also captured in retaliation by both the Yoruba in the East,Ashanti in the North and Ewe,who are predominantly in Togo,to the West.Remember,the Fon with their kingdom called Dahomey was a vassal State of Oyo empire. Dahomey through trading with the Portuguese became powerful and took retaliation on the Oyo-Yoruba. The Yoruba were also attacked by the jihadist who were Yoruba muslims led by Fulani clergy and Hausa, called Alimi. During these religious war some Yoruba who were Muslims captured their fellow non Yoruba Muslims and sold them into slavery. The non Muslims Yoruba also captured both Muslim Yoruba and their Fulani and Hausa leaders into slavery. Many of these Yoruba Muslims were sold to the Portuguese in Badagry,in present day Lagos. Some of ships captured during voyage to the Americans were captured by the British which ended up in Sierra Leone. After the collapse of the Oyo-Yoruba empire there were civil war in Yorubaland called “Kirigi “with different tribes within Yoruba ethnicity fighting for autonomy of their tribes from Oyo. Fighters were captured from both sides. These captors ended up in slave market which were ran by the Portuguese in Badagry and some escaped the nest. The Fon were for 400 years collaborated with the Yoruba under Oyo leadership.In fact around early 18 centuries both defeated and stopped Ashanti expansion to the east in a town called Atakpame. The Yoruba were the last ethnicity to be sold into slavery which were due in part of the Islamic jihad in the North and Fon -Dahomey collaborations with the Portuguese along the coast.
Thank You for giving us all this history!
Where is this recorded in a museum to research. Religion seems to be a part of this. Jamaicans help also created Sierra Leone but this must have been later on. But some returned to Jamaica as they were not content there due to conflict between the local tribal and Jamaicans
Sarah Thompson You can get the book : History of the Yoruba by Samuel Johnson. He was a Yoruba prince who was captured and returned to Nigeria via Sierra Leone. And another book by a British author: Rise and fall of British Empire by James Lawrence. Yes,Jamaicans and African Americans who fought along side the British against the Americans with promise of freedom were also settled firstly in London,then after abandonment and racism agitated and clamoured for their return to Sierra Leone. They came to Sierra Leone through Novia Scotia in Canada. Many became tool of colonialism through missionaries and many also became pace setters in the westernisation of West Africans. They became middle class. Not all stayed in Sierra Leone. Many of them spread out to Ghana and Nigeria. They became assimilated into the local culture. Many of them became indentures to the British during colonialism of Africa. In fact,in Lagos where most of them resided along side Yoruba returnees from Brazil were called “Akata “. Which means Eurocentric individual by the local people. Eurocentrism here could mean accent and European world views.
@@genuinediasporan6661 Thank you I will get these books. Very interesting.
The Asanti empire never bordered Yoruba empire from my research especially not in the north you must be confusing it with another Kingdom
Francis Momoh is a very inspirational guy. Very cool and relaxed!
WOW Dynast, this is very interesting on how Freetown became Freetown.
Yes great information
Golden Heart Golden the city was already there before and after the abolition of slaves They stayed in the rasterna side of freetown- but when the first batch of freed africans coming back from captivity arrived they had to build the Western side of freetown that area was mostly covered with dense
forest and There was know people living in that side of the city. I am from that ancestry so like you despite i was born in sierra Leone i don’t speak any african native language.
Golden Heart Also in the eastern side of freetown its a mixed of different etnisk group from all over Africa travelling the coast and doing trade between each other also staying and integrating through marriage and practicing other cultural habits.
Yoruba (Yeriba original name) is a very large nation of people span from western Nigeria all the way to Seria leon....
You mean Yoroba
Yaru Qadishi We are here to learn. Which part are lies? Point it out and contradict it with facts. If there are areas you doubt you can ask questions. So, can you give us your own facts,facts facts?
@@genuinediasporan6661 i meant yoruba sorry
@@genuinediasporan6661 I was using voice command nothing is wrong nothing is false everything here is correct
Yaru Qadishi it’s ok. We are all here to learn. Peace.❤️
I was wondering how the connection was made after the DNA test family?
I am from Yoruba Tribe in Nigeria. I did my DNA heritage in the year 2020 and I was surprised to have 4% sierralone blood. 95% Nigeria Yoruba and 1% Baltic region.
@@Iridescence7770 That's great.
Yoruba is not a tribe. It's an ethnic group. I mean, you'll find more tribes in term of dialects inside Yoruba itself. There are over 33 dialects (tribes) inside Yoruba.
Afrikan Americans always knew they were Afrikans because we were taught about our heritage by our parents, minsters, and our heroes which is too numerous to count. I love West Afrika and I am especially attracted to Sierra Leon.
Oluwasola Ifasade ❤️❤️❤️
Sister, i'm a little bit confused here. You bear Yoruba names and at the same token, you claimed to be an AA.
I'm guessing you adopted the name, right?
Black Americans aren't "Africans".
Bitch I look good ! I am...I’m Liberian a Sierra leonine American. I cant get more African American then i already am.
Wahab Odusola Bitch I look good ! Oh yeah my grand ma was Yoruba from sierra Leon, Freetown, pops from LAMCO, Liberia... so. I know Yoruba is a religion but its also an ethno group/tribe. I’m born and raised in USA though.
Most W.Africans are are very mixed in terms of tribes and that’s why I’m really bothered by the never ending wanting to continually dividing themselves.
I also noticed that Yoruba names are somewhat similar to Spanish names, the reason I’m asking is that if these Africans already had their languages why the similarities in names.
Thanks! Anyone?
Yoruba names similar to Spanish/portuguese names??? that's a new one
@@JudehEmpire Yes, Some European languages were influenced by Yoruba language. Yoruba actually have a meaning of 'ran or/enteted from Yuro/ Euro'. Some Yoruba land have indegenous populations that other people ran to.Even up to now those differences of population are still known. Maybe when some ran from Spain or could have been black Celts. Even now there are blacks in Spain and Portugal who knew no other origin. Some things we may never know for sure. By the way, Egwugwu is also an Igbo word and it is spoken substantially in Ivory Coast and Equaorial Guinea even now. Are they returnee slaves or indegenous in those area?
Yoruba names are not similar to Portuguese names.
@@audreykemi5574 lol. My comment was sarcastic because I know there are no Yoruba names of Portuguese or Spanish influence. I don't know where you guys get all these stuff from? Yoruba is always a victim of all these random stories and claims of foreign influence
The word "portmanteau" is actually from French and used by people in Nigeria only when speaking English or Pidgin. Its not a Yoruba word. And "Ola" is a Yoruba word and when you find it in a Yoruba name that should tell you what language it belongs to already as Yoruba names carry meanings and there's no way a Portuguese word would be mixed with yoruba words to form a name
@@audreykemi5574 why not stick to the point ma'am.
We were talking about Yoruba names having Spanish/Portuguese influences not onions and Yoruba trade with fellow West Africans
My brother, Prince Amir, we share the same ethnicity. I also have a Yoruba and Mende ancestral bloodline. I was on here searching for the connection between the Yoruba and Mende people... Have you found much information about the Oku people?
We shall continue searching for Uhuru!
In as much as I always want to "move on" and look forward to the future. I can't stop wondering, what if? What if we have been left alone? What if there was never a slave trade? What if all the Yoruba descendants in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱, Caribbean, Cuba, Brazil, USA, the ones that got killed, thrown into the ocean or beaten to death. From Yoruba to other cultural/ethnic groups across Africa, I ask, what if?
Awesome bro ✊🏾
The Interviewer asked who was selling the Yorubas as slaves? The answer is back then we had Oyo Empire, a Yoruba sub group, selling other Yoruba subgroups into slavery. That was what led to the Ekiti Parapo war that emancipated all Yoruba from Oyo Empire-another Yoruba subgroup from the continual selling of fellow Yorubas into slavery
who enslaved the Yorubas? They embarked on internecine wars in the 19th c. They were a lot of people that were enslaved as a result.
Did u take DNA test
❤️❤️❤️❤️
What was really going on with the Yoruba people? They are the second most enslaved Africans.
its simple....."BETRAYAL"
Dynasti why so short programs?
Cannelinisoppa do some of the hotel facilities so that tourist knows that there are places to stay when they visit.
Yes , that's true
One thing is that affluent yorubas had servants and yoruba kingdoms fought with each other eg the Egbas and Ijebus or the Egbas and Dahomey. The caprured each other as prisoners of war and sold off for weapons, mirrors, alcohol spirits, glass etc. In some cases taskmasters went interland to remote villages and kidnapped people from tribes; there were raids on villages or kidnapping people on the way to the river or farms. The slave masters/ pirates used guns in some cases to raid coastal villages. The offering of weapons to Africans to kill eachbother off still exists today.
I don’t like how you allowed him to squeeze past the direct question who was selling us to the Europeans. I have noticed that they love to dance around that direct question.
Any Nigeria Yoruba in the building read this article about how You=ruba come into being and tell me what yall think www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/the-ijebu-the-yoruba-and-their-influence-on-the-bible-and-judaism-reno/
You ran into any Esan tribesmen?
Esan man I greet you. I was in liberia in 2018, and I met a lot of Sierra leonians and there was this instant connection. I learnt that words like "come" in esan language was the same with some tribes in Sierra Leone. Infact just as we say "esan oyeee", they also say "Liberia oyeee". I think there is a connection
@@marvinezekiel8825 are you in Africa?
@@Thee_DivineOne yes I am.i am in southern Nigeria
Read about old African systems, culture, tradition and spirituality in a city state setting in Efon Alaaye, Nigeria: www.amazon.ca/History-Efon-Alaaye-Kingdom-1180-Present-ebook/dp/B075NQXPN7
It’s interesting to see how Mr Quinn was wriggling like a worm, I have only just started watching! Let continue watching!
WHERE IS THIS BOTHERS IG OR EMAIL, OR CONTACT
Yoruba are too stubborn about their ways of life. They will never lose it. Egungun festival haha. 4:58 He didn't answer your question. let me answer here The Yoruba are sold by Fulani Islamists to the Fanatics Europeans and the Europeans also capture people on their own also. Anyone who is unlucky at the coast.
point of corrections not the yorubas as a whole....Bcos the fulanis only sold some yorubas that were captured during the fulani Alimi war with the yorubas. And the war was also led by Afonja a powerful yoruba warrior partnering Alimi the fulani to fight his own people. You can clearly see that the war can also be called a battle of betrayals....
The Fulani were never recorded to have engaged in the slave trade business, otherwise come with facts. The Yoruba themselves and the Fons could have been more appropriate.
Prince Dynasty, OMO NAIJA!!!
Keep up the good work bro 💪
My granddad was Krio. This is very insighful
Yes, Some European languages were influenced by Yoruba language. Yoruba actually have a meaning of 'ran or/enteted from Yuro/ Euro'. Some Yoruba land have indegenous populations that other people ran to.Even up to now in Nigeria those differences of population are still known. May it be when some ran from Spain or could have been black Celts? Even now there are blacks in Spain and Portugal who knew no other origin. Some things we may never know for sure. By the way, Egwugwu is also an Igbo/Ibo word and Igbo/Ibo is spoken substantially in Ivory Coast and Equaorial Guinea even now. Are they returnee slaves or indegenous in those area?
like ours means awa in Yoruba almost the same sound then u have me meaning emi in Yoruba almost the same sound then u have the ABC meaning the ABD list goes on.
The Igbos in Ivory Coast and Equitorial Guinea aren’t indigenous to that land neither are they returnee slaves. They are Igbo diasporas who settled for in these lands for economic (business) reasons later became naturalized citizens of those Nations
@@agboolafaleti4520 I don't believe you because Igbos don't go to a place and do business and become substantial language group while forgetting where they come from. They must have been there for hundreds of years even before colonialism. Or deported/imported en mass from somewhere. Only an Igbo there can fill in the gap of information.
Grace Almu Igbos have not been in Ivory Coast beyond a century. They migrated there for economic reason and never forgot their roots. Most igbo families in Ivory coast still have direct first generation ties with igbo relatives in Nigeria. As for Equitoria Guinea, geographical proximity, economic reasons and war (Biafra) made them settle there. The first set of Igbo migrants landed during the height of the Arochukwu confederacy in the 18th century
@@agboolafaleti4520 Makes sense now.Thanks.
Just my observation, and it'll be great if you can help promote the fact that there was no "Slave Trade". People were kidnapped. Trade implies equal partnership in business
The Yorubas are Jews. The ancient Arabs called them Yahoodie, the Portuguese Portuguese called them Ajuda while the British also knew them as the Jews of Africa.
None of them are Jews and Yoruba are not that way either you what you just said is completely made up no Arabs called them that don't make things up Portuguese ever said that all by the way that name you just said is completely taken out of context and no British ever called them Jews of Africa unless they had a Christian agenda at which doesn't make it accurate but they didn't say that either site your sources or you're making stuff up or you're a liar they're not the regular Gentiles way wait until there's no Jews ever in Africa quityourbullshit
@@yaruqadishi8326 you're funny. Am not a liar. If i didn't read it i wouldn't say it. Go and read the books of Commander Forbes on the accounts of the Akus in Sierra Leone. Also read the books A.B.C Sibthorpe. If you haven't read or done some thorough investigation research then you need to keep your mouth shut.
@@bujuaji you can't always trust British generals who have a bias themselves who basically or truly meanings Jews they were saying things for their own Christian agenda they weren't actually claim they're Jews or just trying to compare them to Jews because the fact that their own hatred towards Jews you got to look into the actual thing so I'm actually pretty certain you did not read it yourself thoroughly or even actually read it but skimmed over it and made the assumption trusting what they said instead of actually challenging and seeing if they actually just speculating or making error gases. The Explorers were not looking at African people as an accurate portrayal of them they're just doing it for contacts or no Conquest in the context of what they're writing about was from their own wishful thinking in their own agenda you can look at Yoruba people may have nothing to do with Jews at all in the least so I can already tell you back then just like today if not more back then than today and in fact we are saying is bulshit and come from Colonial deception wake up
You have the spirit within you, certainly you have done some research and you are woke from all the propaganda, secrets and lies!!!...yes the Yorubas are the Jews, part of the twelve tribes of Jacob.
@@Strong-jw3et he has Spirit of deception demonic see people who oppose him in people who showing wrong have a good Holy Spirit divine speak truth he's dead asleep by the way the word woke is not a word especially when it's use out of context he's dead asleep
