I just found out that my ancestors were from the igbo tribe I'm jamaican and I'm eager to learn more about my roots I wanna visit africa one day so I can meet my people
I can guide about igbo culture and customs! H will find out some of ur Jamaican cultures have Igbo roots
Abiala, nwa nne m!
You will be very well welcomed
Grenada 🇬🇩 I'm Igbo on father side Akan on mother side... DNA results ...also...my mom runs a susu.
@@akanmoonigbosun6615 welcome bro. Try and reach home. We have a wonderful culture
I'm from The Gambia and I'm married to a Igbo man, he's the best!!
We have yam festival and a lot more words and things associated with Igbo in Jamaica and we have a lot of your attitude and action too.
I just found out only this morning that the Igbo were brought to Barbados....been feeling to research where in Africa my ancestors were from. I'm from Barbados....been watching videos about Nigeria all day.
A lot of Barbadians do have igbo ancestry.
Look up Zion Dynasty's TH-cam channel. You will get more answers there. Shalom
@@INGEN_Dahnie-el-aha-ha give thanks🙏🏾
@@princessk5002 🙏🏽❤
yes in the Caribbean (in my case Grenada and Trinidad &Tobago) many of us are descendants of the Igbo people and we say "susu money"
Gbam
Hahahaha am proud of igbo tribe
Come back guys
Grenada 🇬🇩 DNA test says 100% Igbo on Paternal side and Akan maternal side.
Money is Ego in Igbo, not Susu.
You forgot the United States. The United States has a large Igbo presence.
True
I think so all the tribes in Nigeria I think igbo tribe have more in USA just like in UK the yoruba tribe is highest among the tribes in Nigeria
"Things fall apart "led me here .. I became really curious to know more about Igbo's life
Igbo descendants are in the US as well particularly Virginia, Kentucky and South Carolina.
I am one of them (South Carolina). Happy to be an African-American of Igbo ancestry. Such a beautiful feeling to have a connection to Ndi Igbo.
His talking about a form of saving called susu, do you guys practice that there ?
And in Maryland
Yes a lot of us where our ancestors were taken to Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland have Igbo ancestors.
@@GDIEternal I want to learn more please
You missed Haiti; Igbo culture is prominent in Haitian cultural practices!🔥
really?? how? x
@rdokoye hi nwanne
80% of Haiti are igbos so don't worry when we get our nation biafra we will recognize all our people all over the world
No Haitians have strong Yoruba heritage
Wow
You tried my brother. One thing you should correct is the calendar part. Igbos have been an independent people from the beginning of time. They've had their calendar even before Nigeria was created as a country.
I was in a class in the U.S. where they discussed about womens rights and guess what? The white professor talked about the Igbo tribe of Nigeria. The women have always been independent, and held in positions of honor and power. Now, that's an interesting fact.
glad you say this. I have always argued that feminism & women empowerment is alien to Igbos because our women have always been independent in their own right .
And that they would not not pulled off ABA WOMEN RIOT OF 1929, if they are subjugated as the media will like to believe
True, igbo umuada. They are very powerful and they are maintaining the society like fighting for women that their husband is maltreating, sweeping the market, clearing the streams and the way to the streams etc.
Interesting. IGBO tradition is actually deep
44% igbo.. (California) took a 23 and me ancestry test and this is all new information to me.
I found out one of my ancestors was igbo. A dna match helped on ancestry.
Well come sis
ASUEEEE We call it that in The Bahamas. I just did a DNA test and I'm 60% Nigerian so it's good to make these relations. Thanks for the video
I just did an DNA test as well Im 43% Nigerian My family is from Virginia and South Carolina.
I found my real dad doing that dna. I found out I’m half Nigerian. It was 55% so with 60% one of your parents are..
Yeah dear you are hundreds percent igbo not Nigeria, Nigeria is a British scam am am an igbo man from Anambra state BIAFRA land the billionaire tribe proud of my igbo identity
@@nnamdipaulokeke6242 ❤
@@LatonyaDeshelle I’m 47.8% Igbo(23andme). They won’t tell you which ethnic group unless they are over 80% sure. I was shocked. But after doing the research the documentation backs up the dna.
My last travel to India with my friend in a remote village. I was surprised to see my Biafran's brothers there.
Here because of my respect for my Igbo co-worker in California.
Sousou is a very big part of my igbo diaspora culture. Only village trusted people join the group
Wow.
The Igbo are the most intelligent sub-Saharan tribe.
Can you prove it?
True
@@adewilliams8 make research
That was a 2016 research carried in d United States. They were called d most intelligent tribe amongst Africa's black tribes.
Nope
Add the US to that diasporic list (VA, NC, SC) I just found out I have igbo ancestors. Especially SC. They wanted igbo’s who were highly skilled in rice and indigo cultivation.
Education is power much kudos bruh watching from Havana Igbo square
I’m Jamaican of Igbo descent. Jamaica has a lot of Igbo descendants and some of the Igbo language has been mixed in with Jamaican creole.
@rdokoye - Maybe however a lot of Jamaican do in fact have strong Nigerian roots.
rdokoye ok why are you....like trying to say Jamaica and Ghana and one in one
rdokoye - I know Nigerians personally and I can tell you they’re similar to Jamaicans. We eat the same kind of dish and speak broken English. Nigerians speak what’s called Pidgin name it similar to Jamaican Creole. Many of the Jamaicans who live on the western part of the island of Jamaica are mainly descendants of the Igbo tribe.
@rdokoye Pidin is not spoken by all Africans, only West Africans. Some Sierra Leoneans have Jamaican roots due to the fact some of the Jamaican Maroons are sent there by the British. Many Jamaicans are of Akan and Igbo decent. The Igbos that were brought to Jamaica came from Bight of Biafra.
Jamaican mannerisms are similar to that of a Nigerian such as sucking teeth, cutting eyes and non verbal communications by eye movements. A few Igbo words were incorporated into the Jamaican patios. Words like "unu" meaning you, "di" meaning to be, "obeah" meaning doctoring etc. I relate to Nigerians more because we are so alike.
There are a quite few Nigerians and Ghanians who live in Jamaica. The Igbos are one of the reasons why Jamaicans have so many light skin persons. As you know Igbos come in different hues of brown. As a Jamaican who been around Nigerians I can tell you we have more in common than you think.
@Charles brown Thank you brother
I literally just learned that Susu was from the Igbo(this video😂) African Americans been doing this for as long as I can remember. We also have other forms of collective savings within the whole community. But the more we assimilate into European American culture we tend to not keep up the practice. Wow! I’m so shocked.
Great job brother.Keep doing more videos like this. God bless you.
Thanks I will be sharing this with my family
My husband is Igbo ❤️
Mine also
You guys are very lucky, give your kids a dollar and he/she will come back with billions hahahah it's a Gods gifts
My wife is Igbo.
Liverpool UK
Very informative video brother!! Keep it up!
Yes there are many Igbo people also in California .
I LOVE this !!!!
Great video!
As a Puerto Rican, 4.6% of me is Nigerian, from the Igbo people. I'm here to learn. :)
Nigeria is a British slave name. Igbo is Biafra. Biafra has always been our home country.
Cool video! 👍
You really killed those pronunciations. You should have asked an Igbo person to help. All the same, you did great. If you understand tone marks, here is how to pronouns the 4 days:
Nkwo - (do - mi);
Eke - (do - mi),
Orie - (mi - do);
Afor - (do - do).
Hope that helps.
This is not really correct but a good start
I like that you spelled “pronounce” as “pronouns” because Igbo people would pronounce the word “pronounce” as “pronouns,” at least in my experience with the people I’ve met. 😂
Thanks for the information man. You tried.
Thanks for watching. Subscribe to NAIJ.COM TV for morecontent like this: goo.gl/WtN4Yv
You're on point right there
Kudos!!!
Thank you for video. My husband is igbo
We call the savings plan an asue in the Bahamas. It came from West Africa and still continues to this day.
Damn... bro you are so good with the culture
You are 100% correct on the Igbo's, thank you!!
I APPRECIATE HIS EFFORT. LET ME CORRECT SOMETHING VERY VERY IMPORTANT. THERE ARE 8 DAYS IN AN IGBO WEEK NOT 4DAYS. YOU REPEAT THE DAYS TO GET THE 8TH DAY. EVERY MARKET DAY HAS THE BIG AND THE SMALL. THE MAIN EKE IS THE 2ND AND IS ALWAYS FULL. ETC.
You forgot to mention why the igbos were a more preferred or sorted after ethnicity during slave trade era by the europeans were because of their Jewish ancestry.One of the 12 tribes of the biblical Jews.
YEP. I wat h Zion Dynasty's TH-cam channel and he breaks EVERYTHING down when it comes to this topic (and many more) Shalom.
Spot on brother you are so right !! In Grenada yes we called it susu But it is used within a group of people that one knows in the village .Also In Jamaica it is called Partner
Wow impressive.
a lot of grenadians are Igbo i found out my parents are from Grenada
Great video. In Jamaica they historically call this saving scheme "Pardner". When the Windrush generation arrived in England in the 1950's they found Accommodation very hard to find due to prejudice. So they bandied together and saved there earnings through Pardner.
This is how most of the Windrush generation obtained the funds to put down on there first house.
Wow....here in Barbados we call it a meeting and when it's time to get your money it's called a meeting turn...it really helps people out with various bills that need to be paid like home or car insurance.
My ancestry DNA says I'm from Igbo tribe.
Which did you take? Mine did not give a specific tribe. Thank you.
The one person who disliked is an Hausa.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 so true
I'm Hausa and I liked this, wonder what you people have against Hausa peeps don't say biafra
@@EpicGamer-dj7dm don't worry im igbo and love hausas. ignore!
@Drake Zakra yet, you cannot help but live on their land...goat
@Drake Zakra typical response of a low life, hateful and anger filled ipoban loser. All those ports you mentioned are not closed, but abandoned by you the rightful consumers.
Did the afonjas also closed your GRA's and city development blueprints, that your leaders did not build them?
I was in ASPAMDA last week and saw an old Banner, in which the governor of Anambra, Obiano, advertised a similar Intl market in the state and how easy they made it for you people to come back home to invest, till date, the stalls are still vastly empty and unaccommodated.
You claim to hate us Yorubas but cant stay away from our accommodating land and the way we have made it easy for business to thrive.
The last time the northerners gave you ultimatum to leave their region, because of this rude and arrogant stupidity you displayed here, did you people not start running helter skelter, begging the northern elders to caution their youths?
We Yorubas are already charting the next generation of developments, by opening 3 more ports in our territory, namely Badagry Port, Epe port and Lekki free trade zone Ports. These are all state government initiatives, with private investment opportunities.
Keep hating afonjas, it doesn't shake us a bit. Lagos has seized to be the federal capital since 1991, some 28 years ago and yet, you still want to claim that, it is the only reason she is developing.
The first capital of Nigeria was Calabar, Cross Rivers state and even though it is developed, it not because of FG, but the peopleand their leaders...take your hate elsewhere, the only people that can like your stupid mentality are failed Biafraud Ipobians like you.
Jamaica still maintained alot of the the tradition and still do, for example Susi is what we Jamaicans call Padna or Partner, I know it well, it sent me to University.. However still alot of us in the Caribbean are not really sure which tribes we are personally associate or related, all because of the European slave trade that interrupted our story
As a Jamaican we always feel a strong connection Nigeria and Ghana
I am proud to be biafra
He tried actually. Hehehe, lol.

You SPEAKER Spanish?
You're a Nigerian, and can't pronounce Igbo words correctly? While millions of Igbo people comfortably speak your language which is Yoruba; one Nigeria indeed.
The way Yoruba pronounce their ''gb'' alphabet is different from how we Igbo people pronounce our own.
Just like we call Hausa people ''Awusa''
@@anyanwu6233 excuses excuses
@BIAFRA IS DUMB, Your foolery as a person just got an award...and it'll be given to you in hell fire, just next to the devils cubicle
How can people in the comments tell that the presenter is not Igbo? What features let you know?
His name, and his apology for mispronouncing words so refer your Igbo friends
From his Igbo pronunciations
Are there any bantu in Nigeria
@@destinedkidsbyiwueze-okpla8990 Haha lol thought so
Yes, some ethnic groups in the Southeastern part of Nigeria and the Tivs are considered Bantus. Actually, it's been suggested that the origin of the Bantus are in the Nigeria-Cameroon axis. So, these ethnicities are often considered, proto-Bantus. Nevertheless, many DNA studies often show some significant percentage of Bantu DNA among the Igbo constitution although, language wise, from which the Bantu classification emerged, the Igbo language is not condered Bantu. This, in my personal opinion is a bit surprising given the fact that the word, "Bantu", the word for "man/human", the basis for the association of commonality amongst these the various linguistic variations of this subgroup, is similar to the Igbo word, "Madu, Mmadu or Mmandu" also, used for "human".

U make this story to make Igbo people happy, u don't need to do that let call a spade a spade, it has never recorded among the historians that Igbo's people are originally involved in slave training, Igbo people also traveling yes there is know doubt about that, they might travel to those places for their businesses adventures, as we all know they were all over Asia as well, they might be in other parts of carabier for long trying to make's looks they themselves are part of history in those regions, that is exactly what it is,
Why Nigeria? This ethnicity hatred is going overboard😭. Oh mercy
OwO UwU OwO
It irritates me the way you pronoun some igbo words..
Please he tried. He's is not igbo, understand him
Igbo people are also the original hebrews
Your correct my brother
No they are not.
