They did not come to borrow Yoruba culture. They are descendants of Yoruba ancestors taken away from Africa to Brazil, Jamaica and other Caribbean nations.
Great content..Peace from New Orleans,Louisiana🎭🎭👑👑 descendant of Yoruba,ewe..Ga-Dangmbe and Dahomey..my 8th great grandparents were brought here early 1700s..we still kept record
@@abinibihub unfortunately no,..as much of Diaspora the language diluted to us speaking more of a creole language in order to understand other tribes, because some places during slavery..they separated tribal members from communication to prevent uprisings, my 7th Grandmother was named Kokwe/Kwe'kwe meaning 2nd born daughter..Africa has been our foundation..thru music, food and Spirituality..we never forget
Many Yoruba descendants are also in the United States of America especially in the Southern states of the Gulf Coast like Louisiana and Alabama. My family is from there and we traced our Yoruba ancestors being from Benin, Togo and Nigeria. They came up from Mobile which was a major importation port for the enslaved. Many notable Black Americans celebrities/entertainers are also of Yoruba descent. QuestLove of the Roots, Nasir Jones popularly known as the rapper NAS are also descendants.
Point of correction Mr. narrator, they didn't steal what belongs to us or adopted it but it belongs to them as much as it does to us...Here is why: These Brazillians are descendants of enslaved Yorubas that were stolen from Oyo and Yorubaland in the late 18th & early 19th centuries and when they got to the New world, they refused to abandon their Yoruba religion and traditrion as well as dialect. They hid the culture under Catholism called Candombrie or Santanerie and practiced their Yoruba culture in secret, until after the end of slave trade and slavery, they came out in open and started worshipping and practicing their faith, just as they would have done here, if there had bot been slavery. In Cuba and Haiti, this religion is even stronger. Please try ansd educate your viewre and ot act as if this is something abstract from them. They are us and we are them.
Brazilians also have yoruba history, descent and tradition even up to their language brasilian portuguese has alot of yoruba words and pronunciation The only difference between us is they keep the culture and religion going while we Nigerian yorubas forgot ours
@@abinibihub If you ask me the easiest thing to do is to find the people in the video and ask them to train us. Or just ask them to perform. That would wake us up. It's a shame. I feel so rubbed to be honest but who can blame them they have a right to celebrate their heritage.
Nigeria? Nigeria was created to help suppress and hide Yoruba culture. What's the benefit of being a Nigeria? Zero. But it's written. In there lie the everlasting kingdom that Olodumare will establish on Earth. All ancient throne and kingdoms in the world has been destroyed but only Ile-Ife remain.
Brazilian modernized their Yoruba culture with funds from their Government while, in Nigeria, our Yoruba culture still living in the past because of lack of funds and not educate our kids with our enriched traditional culture!
Do you understand what curation and preservation is? The originality of the Yoruba culture must be preserved in it pure state without incursions to alter it in the name of 'modernize'
To be honest Nigeria it bigger than Africa it self it consist of Yoruba Igbo Hausa most Nigerian ancestors really do a great job by making their Yoruba culture to survive after 500 years of slavery most people who went into slavery were Nigerian population and this Yoruba population spirituality is found in North America South America and in Europe and so on cause their smart dominant and I would say Nigeria is the light of Africa and same as those Nigerian out of the diaspora
And I’m so happy Nigerian culture it bigger than Africa it self and most slave where taken from west/ central Africa region but out the coast the Yoruba culture survive all over the world that is why Nigerian is not anyone mate cause their spirituality survive every where and almost everyone who trace their dna found out their ancestors came from Nigerian population so it not a surprise a lot of talent Nigerian possess in and out of the diaspora
This has nothing to do with Nigeria culture. There is nothing like Nigerian culture, it's yoruba culture, igbo, culture ect. Nigeria is a artificial project that has nothing to do with light of Africa. It's rather darkness of Africa. Proudly yoruba not Nigerian
The desire to create cult for fame and wealth has made our people to be enslaved in the name Christianity and perhaps Islam at the detriment of our culture. It is not everything about our heritage that's evil. We need to rewrite our story in Africa.
point of correction to the voice over. Brazilians did not "adopt' yoruba culture. Go back to history most yoruba were taken as slaves to Brazil. they took their culture with them, preserved it through the ages unadultrated. ours here in Nigeria was stripped away by colonialism. we are the same people not base on adoption. part of them came home to form Brazilian community in Lagos, the reason why our connection is not strong is they speak Portuguese as second language while we speak English
completelly respect your opinion, but we are not promoting tourism with Yoruba culture specially because many of us descend from yoruba people. I recommend you some researches about "how does a escola de samba works and what's the purpose" and also "Traditional Yoruba Cult in Brazil" and also "afrobrazilian religions", "candomblé" and specially: "What is the connection between Samba, Orisha. "what's the connection between diaspora and favela" "how the escola de samba PREPARES itself during the year" and you'll probably understand it better. relax, we are not promoting tourism with yoruba culture in carnival. we are showing our love to esu, egbe, ifa, aje, iyami osoronga, sango, ogun, osala, and many more Orishas and brazilian forces. this our healing. this is our strength and making people publically see it its probably one of the most important things we could do after the colonization, its our scream. making carnival happens means that the greatest event that people wait all year to come its made by AFROBRAZILIAN PEOPLE. This has a positive social impact and it's very important for us. Because the SYSTEM (media in general) always aproppriate our culture and tell its theirs. With music, fashion, tv, surgeries and bla blah bla. in Carnival the ones who want, can see that white people didnt make or started nothing. they stole they trafficked they destroyed us and our lands. my family and yours. my ancestors and yours. SAMBA, CARNAVAL, ESCOLA DE SAMBA...that is sacred for us. pls, do some researches. it will worth it.
Through the Atlantic slave trade, the majority of Yorubas that were sold into slavery in the beginning are in the USA. Brazil's Salvador has a thriving Yoruba presence. In fact, there are more Yorubas in Brazil than there are in Nigeria today. So much so, The Ooni of Ife declared Quilombola a Yoruba territory. Cuba, Haiti, Trinidad, Jamaica, Ghana, Serria Leone , Togo & Benin/ ancient Dahomey,, are also countries with descendants of Yorubas. & there are more The culture has survived in many of these places.
@@abinibihub When will that be or happen. We have different tribes and we speak up to 2500 languages in same Nigeria. Before 1960 British joined all tribes together we already have our nation called Oduduwa.
@@abinibihub Even next year i hope its possible. Good question, Individually i don't think so but collectively we are ready. Enough is enough. It will all start somewhere and move along but all will be done right by new constitution, security on our land and reserve forest, no corruption whatsoever and everyone in power must swear with Ogun not Bible because Jesus Christ will forgive. You will see how Oduduwa Nation will pass all Nations on every level where human existence in life, when it comes to technologies or governing his citizens.
@@abinibihubman you are in deep sleep!!! This is the most useless slogan ever created to delude naive Nigerians. After 60 years no light, no Healthcare, ect. You know it. And jet you repeat this evil slogan!! Nigeria was never great and in a million years will not be great. Yoruba Nation is the only awnser to have a future for us yorubas!!!!
The Almighty God abhors the worship of the devil through the worship of idols. Please I beg you my people turn away from this and seek the face of God. What you are getting into is destructive. God doesn't get angry easily but when He does, it is disastrous. Do not bring curses upon yourselves, turn to God now and humbly pray for forgiveness. Jesus says 'I am the way, the truth and the life...'.
@Joegraphy it is a religion but because it has always been practiced since the beginning of time, it becomes the culture of the Yorubas/Africans. Witchcraft and sorcery, idol worshipping and all these things are not of The Almighty God. Please read the book of Revelation, chapters 17, 18 and 12, starting from verse 7. Your eyes will be opened, it is for those with wisdom to understand though.
I pity u my dear, so u mean the africa traditional root is evil 😈, first think about ur borrowed mental slavery religion leave us alone,we love our ishango,ogun and other, we can worship God directly thru them,not only tru Jesus
Since una no cherish wetin God give una make d people wey know d importance of ur culture dey use am dey make money nah. Since wey una cherish foreign religion past wetin God give una. Una never see anything pastor wey dey preach heaven for una him don go heaven come back abi wey him take no say ur culture is forbidden abi. Una go stil cry no be now. Mumu people
thanks for your comment sir but i think we are all in the system. We can still make the world a better place while we are still here and this is just a wake up call sir.
They did not come to borrow Yoruba culture. They are descendants of Yoruba ancestors taken away from Africa to Brazil, Jamaica and other Caribbean nations.
Right.
You're correct
@otuyelusoji Yoruba culture did not touch Jamaica it was Akan and Igbo.
@dabigsun5242 they are more Ghanaian but they have a village called Abeokuta in Jamaica.

Ok thanks
@@abinibihubthanks for this educative piece. You are totally correct, we are not more Yoruba than them it's equally their religion and culture.
This is beautiful and emotional to see Yoruba culture and traditional spirituality on display in Brazil
Exactly. We have a beautiful culture
Brazilians also have yoruba history, descent and tradition even up to their language brasilian portuguese has alot of yoruba words and pronunciation
The only difference between us is they keep the culture and religion going while we Nigerian yorubas forgot ours
Ile Yoruba and Brazil have something bound together according to history
2 cities are legally Yoruba city in Brazil
This is so sad that we can never see this in NIGERIA. I'm crying that our people have forgotten it's origins.
Maybe in Calaba festival later in the future.

Beautiful culture and beautiful people's Brazil 🇧🇷 Alahfia☝ por todos ❤
Alafia
They did not come to borrow the culture, they are the Yorubas that where captured to Brazil
Thanks for enlightening us.
They borrow because sango is Yoruba story
they are not adopting our culture, they are yorubas just as much as you and myself. This is in memory of their root
And I’m so happy Nigerian culture it bigger than Africa it self and most slave where taken from west/ central Africa region but out the coast the Yoruba culture survive all over the world that is why Nigerian is not anyone mate cause their spirituality survive every where and almost everyone who trace their dna found out their ancestors came from Nigerian population so it not a surprise a lot of talent Nigerian possess in and out of the diaspora

Yup
The desire to create cult for fame and wealth has made our people to be enslaved in the name Christianity and perhaps Islam at the detriment of our culture. It is not everything about our heritage that's evil. We need to rewrite our story in Africa.
You are right and I’m currently in Benin Republic which also opens my eyes to how civilization has damaged us. We need to start rewriting our stories.
Thanks for your efforts
The best solution is Yoruba nation
Yoruba nation is here to stay
Yoruba nation now
Nobody stole anything from you. T hey have equal right to the culture as you do. They are your people, they are Yoriubas in Diaspora.
You are right. But what do you think will bring the real unity between the two parties
@@abinibihubthat's never will happen. And we don't want it too. We have our own culture. 500 years.
