Oh Damnnnnnnn! Just had 2 Copyright Strike for using Sierra leone National Anthem!????? Which means no ads will be played on this video Support the Movement On Paypal www.paypal.com/paypalme2/aiyawodemaya
Information on the person who claim it please it might be a mistake in Sierra Leone we have so many artists who sing songs and add the national anthem in them so yt might thinks it’s one of those songs!
Mummy is a Sierra Leonean but I was brought up in Ghana from the age of 2yrs ,am now 46yrs old, never been there would surely visit one day before I meet my maker by his grace.
We have a lot in common with the way Jamaicans do things. Most of the foods we commonly eat stem from that side of the world. Also, the love that we have for reggae music, if it's not the strongest, then it is one of the strongest on the continent. Whenever I'm around Jamaica people I automatically reminisce of being around my people.
Sierra Leone is the only country presently in Afrikka whom it citizens doesn't see another Afrikkan as a foreigners. There are streets in Freetown if you go there you will think you are in Ghana or Nigeria.
No wonder the enemies put ebola in Sierra Leone. What a fantastic place with white sand beaches like Jamaica . The Sierra Leone speak creole like Jamaicans. Thank you Wado Mayo for information on our Africans continent.
The country Sierra Leone is a treat to the western world.Sierra leone as it's own unique value and the people are warmly welcoming foreigners in the country
Jah bless and guide, keep up the good work.you are the modern day Garvey. U look like him.remember in one of his speech, he said he would return, to help his people.
He mentioned maroons and Nova Scotia Canada, for those who don’t know Jamaican maroons were sent to Canada, were they lived amongst the blacks who fled from America after the war of independence. The African Americans settled in Canada and are still there till this day. The Jamaican maroons howvever after landing in Canada didn’t like the cold and requested to be sent to somewhere warmer so they were sent to Freetown. This city history is very diverse and interesting. Freed slaves, rescued soon to be slaves, free blacks returning to Africa. The Yoruba If I’m correct landed there in those rescued slave ships. Every illegal slave ship the British would seize would be sent to Freetown, ironically they’d hand the captives to missionaries who’d the freed ppl would have to serve. These Yoruba were most likely from Oyo since the Dahomey were still sending out captives to various Europeans. The Yoruba were also part of returned enslaved from the Americas. Some born in Africa taken to Brazil were able to go back to Africa. We even have some in Ghana called Tabom.
Clement Ayimbila and before the Ga came to Ghana they are said to have lived amongst the Yoruba in Ile ife so it’s kind of a reunification of you think about it.
Asante A, your account is not totally correct. The Jamaican maroons who fought the British in Jamaica and freed many of their slaves, were tricked into signing a peace treaty and made prisoners in Jamaica, then sent to the USA by the British to fight to fight in US revolution war against those fighting in the US for independence from England. Many blacks in the US joined the British forces who promised to abolish slavery if they win. But when the british lost the war with the Jamaicans and blacks from America fighting on their side, they took all the blacks either from Jamaica or from the USA to Canada with them and settled them in Nova Scotia. Then took all of them to England and settled them in London. But majority of them remained jobless and subjected to extreme poverty and ended up sleeping on the streets of London. That is when a plan was made to resettle them to Sierra Leone. They were no distinction made between the blacks of America or of Jamaica. All were sent to London then Freetown later. And captives freed from slaveboats were resettled among the Americos of Liberia and also among the Krio of Sierra Leone. Many resettled in Liberia were freed from ships originating from the Congo area. Reason why the term Congo is used in reference to the Americos of Liberia. In the case of Sierra Leone, seems like many of the ships that were captured had many Yoruba captives on them. Those Yorubas were resettled among the Krios. Also many Kru from Ivory Coast and Liberia were also freed from these ships. You even have a Kru community that settled in Freetown at Krutown Road.
I do follow both Drew Binsky and Wode Maya but unfortunately Drew(White traveler) had a really bad experience entering SL by health officials at the border th-cam.com/video/U0hNtt_Fj_E/w-d-xo.html which he reported thru this video and with the power of Social Media the SL gov’t officials hastily addressed the issues and those involved were arrested which is the power of Social Media. The white travelers wasn’t being so negative cuz they are more or like pushing the same agenda by promoting the continent thru travels as Wode Maya
@@officerricky5065 I watched the video before and can confirm that Drew's wasn't giving negative review about the country. He just had bad experience at the border.
How interesting?! My family is Louisiana Creole. I enjoyed your guest’s explanation of the Krio of western Sierra Leone. I’m adding this country to my list of MUSTS! Great video. 🥰
Thanks Wode Maya for sharing this awesome video with us. I am a Liberian but Sierra Leone is my second home. I lived in Freetown throughout my teenage years. Blessings!
Welcome bro,I’m Alpha from Sierra Leone but lives in Ukraine,thanks for your positive image of our continent to the world,always refer people ignorant about Africa to your channel.wish I was there to meet you but I bet you’re gonna enjoy your stay as we are a very welcoming people
I'm Sierra Leoneon, but I've been living with a lot of 9ja pp in Italy🇮🇹 too, we almost speak like the same broken English. 😀😃Bros hw far naa, u weldone Ooo 🇸🇱✊🇳🇬💪
Fool the krio people were freed slaves from Europe and the language they spoke is pidgin(Broken English). They didn't learn the language from ECOMOG soldiers fn knobhead.
@@mohamed69khalifa73 the pidigin they speak is quite very different from the one spoken in nigeria... it modification came when ECOMOG was sent to sierra leone,
I believe this similarity between us will enable us to know that we are not enemies, but we are brothers and sisters and we are one African. Thank you very much, my brother.
Love from Germany🇩🇪. Born in Nigeria, Lagos to be precise! By a Nigerian parents and was taken to Sierra Leone as a toddler, attended nursery up to 🎓.. I love Sierra Leone and I'm proud growing up in Freetown.
Im from Miami, Florida, and i love to watch all your videos thanks for opening my eyes to the beautiful Country my enslaved ancestors came from. Sending you love and prosperous vibrations.
Roba shut your face, you are an IDIOTIC IMBECILE. Are you just ignorant or you just don’t know what is currently going on in the world. Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 is free from that man made disease called Ebola, which was created by the west to eradicate the black population. If you don’t have anything positive to say about Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 please try to know what is the current state affairs of the world or simply shut up 🤐 and stop making comments on a topic that you have no idea on.
Our advantage is that we can easily speak Nigerian pidgin while it's difficult for Nigerians to speak our Krio. Nigeria and Sierra Leone to me are just the same people. Nigeria is the elder brother of Sierra Leone.
Dear I tell Serria Leone is very peaceful country n lovely as well I was there 2014-2015 n my uncle is still there. Yes they speak similar language with Nigerian
Akousua I agree with you I'm Nigerian living in Freetown the first time I came to sierra Leone saw their masquerade they call it OJEH i thougt they were yorubas living in sierra Leone.. Though they have Igbo town and calabar town but their are few krio who still have igbo name most of them have Yoruba name
Thank you brother🙏 an really proud of you and Am out of words.. wow!! My country is soo beautiful🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱 we need more videos Please don’t forget to show the green land
Wow, Maya we love ❤️to see you all over the continent broo, that's great happy to see you ones again in Sierra leone 🇸🇱🇸🇱 to tell the diasporas about there mama salon 🇸🇱much love broo❤️💪🙏
Wode Maya, this means so much to me, I'm gonna send this videos to my uncles. When you get the chance to visit River No2 and Tokeh beach, u will be blown away
Very informative video, I learned a great deal...I knew about Liberia being settled by free slaves sent back to Africa after emancipation, but I was unaware the same happened in Sierra Leone.
Thank you Wode Maya, we sure gonna know SL through you. Weldone bro. I am Nigerian and i agree with you on the pidgin. I just started my youtube channel too, need i say i was inspired by you. God bless you Wode Maya, love to Miss Trudy.
In addition to Desmond's explanation about the Krios, The Krio language was borrowed from 100 African and other languages around the world and it was created here in Freetown by the settled slaves after the abolition of Western slavery
Welcome to my city, Wode Maya. Unfortunately, I'm in Abidjan where I live and work. But I'm happy you're visiting Freetown. Enjoy your stay. Let me know anytime time you're coming to Abidjan.
I love the people. I have been welcomed into the salone community in Amsterdam I can say now they are my brothers and sisters. I have also been welcomed into the community in London these are great, great people.
Good job wide maya. I enjoy listening to the opinions of young people who are tomorrow nation builders. You should ask more of these questions going forward
Sierra Leone - Nigeria connection got to do with the Yoruba people. Yoruba are largely caught up in the trans Atlantic slave trade. The first African archbishop of Anglican Church that translated the Bible into many Africa language in colonial time,Samuel Ajayi Crowther was captured and returned to Sierra Leone by the British after Slavery abolition in the 19th century. Olorunfe is Olorunfemi. A Yoruba name,meaning God loves me.
@Jasmine-mj4kf Go back home and check the history of the Krios. Perhaps your definition of Krios is people indigenous to Sierra leone. In that case ,you are right. Yoruba are not indigenous to Sierra leone.
@@genuinediasporan I never said Krios are indigenous to Sierra Leone lololol I am Krio I know about my history and language so you can't tell me anything I can tell you plenty. The Yoroba have always lived in freetown, we all know the origins of the Yoroba. however people travel and they bring along thier culture and traditions. Sierra Leone is made of incredible tolerant people and Yoroba people live in different parts of Freetown. Even certain foods.......were brought by the Yoroba.....mio mio we call it oleleh Should I go on and elaborate more . Don't argue with a Krio woman about her culture. I am not saying Yoroba are krios......I am just telling you that different people take different parts of each other cultures. We are all one big African family. Please no more from you The END!
@Jasmine-mj4kf Oleleh is another name for Moimoi, and both words are Yoruba. Creole people, who are also referred to as (Krio: Krio people), are the descendants of African-Americans, Jamaican Maroons, and 'Liberated Africans' who settled in Freetown between 1787 and around 1885. The point is Whether you are Yoruba or any liberated Africans,not indigenous to the land in Sierra leone or Diaspora Africans brought to Sierra leone by the British from Novia Scotia or England, are all krios Telling me to stop while you are replying to my 'comment' is kindergarten behaviour. And what makes you think I am not Krio anyway? Knowledge has nothing to do with nationality or place of origin.
I used to tell people that a lot of Yorubas are in Sierraleon but they argue with me. That man's name, #Olorunfe, means "God's love." We share same name. He looks like a Yoruba man too. My name is #Olorunfemi, which means, "God loves me."
Greetings my brother +Wode Maya much thank you for showing Love to Salone where I share ancestry with along with Liberian, Ghanian and Nigerian ancestry. I am going back again in a few weeks after going for the first time in April. Looking forward to it. Great works brother.
Born in Forebay Road, Down street. My favorite time was mango season, only God knows. I love my country, very diverse, religious tolerance and our Krio. I can’t wait to go this summer to eat my crabs, fish ball.
Freetown was created by the British for former Jamaican Maroons and freed slaves in the US who fought on behalf of England in the American independance war. Those blacks from Jamaica and the US were sent to Nova Scotia in Canada when the British lost America. And from Canada, they were relocated to London. But they were having a hard time in London where many ended up living on the streets of London. England decided to send them to Sierra Leone because the British were already based in Sierra Leone during the Transatlantic trade. This is how Freetown came about. Their story is different from the former US black slaves that were sent to Liberia. I will explain the difference when Wode Maya goes to Liberia which is next door to Salone.
Actually, Freetown was initially created for the Black Poors of the UK, then the Nova Scotians, Maroons, Recaptives and other settlers. You have vast knowledge of Sierra Leone. Are you a Sierra Leonean?
SIERRA LEONE is the only nation in Africa that has all Africans in one place (FREETOWN). Places like Angola town, Congo cross, Jomo Kenyattah Road, Sani Abacha Street, Portuguese Town, ECOWAS street, OAU Village etc ect are all in Freetown. The land of diamonds, Gold , beaches etc
It's Such A Positive Image That Is Being Given About My Country Contrarily To The Images Portrayed By The Western Journalists.Thanks Little Brother...Wode Maya..
I haven’t been able to follow you on your channel but anyway as of this that I see , I recommended your work towards Africa discovery.. Welcome to my land (Freetown) The land that I love..... Sierra Leone with the green white and blue... Watching from Germany
Such a beautiful beach, I only knew about Sierra Leone because of the movie Blood Diamond, but seeing it through you're video, such a beautiful country.
The people that did not want to stay in Nova Scotia coming from Jamaica were sent to Sierra Leone.. It was too cold in Nova Scotia coming from the warm climate of Jamaica and so the colonizers brought our families to Sierra Leone.. I believe there is a church there in resemblance of Jamaica.. Maya can you find out more about that please..thank you.. One ❤ Auntie Yvonne
Thank you brother Wode for this beautiful video of my beloved city Freetown. Sierra Leone is beautiful. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Freetown. I'm your new subscriber now. Nice work Wode, keep it up

The first African archbishop of Anglican Church that translated the Bible into many Africa language in colonial time,Samuel Ajayi Crowther was captured and returned to Sierra Leone by the British after Slavery abolition in the 19th century. Olorunfe is Olorunfemi. A Yoruba name,meaning God loves me.
That's right
Yoroba people are part of Sierra Leone, but they're not all related to krios.
I am Krio and I don't have any Yuroba relatives.
@Jasmine-mj4kf Go back home and check the history of the Krios. Perhaps your definition of Krios is people indigenous to Sierra leone. In that case ,you are right. Yoruba are not indigenous to Sierra leone.
@@genuinediasporan
I never said Krios are indigenous to Sierra Leone lololol
I am Krio I know about my history and language so you can't tell me anything I can tell you plenty.
The Yoroba have always lived in freetown, we all know the origins of the Yoroba. however people travel and they bring along thier culture and traditions.
Sierra Leone is made of incredible tolerant people and Yoroba people live in different parts of Freetown.
Even certain foods.......were brought by the Yoroba.....mio mio we call it oleleh
Should I go on and elaborate more .
Don't argue with a Krio woman about her culture.
I am not saying Yoroba are krios......I am just telling you that different people take different parts of each other cultures.
We are all one big African family.
Please no more from you
The END!
@Jasmine-mj4kf Oleleh is another name for Moimoi, and both words are Yoruba. Creole people, who are also referred to as (Krio: Krio people), are the descendants of African-Americans, Jamaican Maroons, and 'Liberated Africans' who settled in Freetown between 1787 and around 1885. The point is Whether you are Yoruba or any liberated Africans,not indigenous to the land in Sierra leone or Diaspora Africans brought to Sierra leone by the British from Novia Scotia or England, are all krios Telling me to stop while you are replying to my 'comment' is kindergarten behaviour. And what makes you think I am not Krio anyway? Knowledge has nothing to do with nationality or place of origin.
Love to Sierraleone from Gambian in Sweden
Glad you're having a good time. Thanks for the video and educating us on such interesting history.
I used to tell people that a lot of Yorubas are in Sierraleon but they argue with me.
That man's name, #Olorunfe, means "God's love." We share same name. He looks like a Yoruba man too. My name is #Olorunfemi, which means, "God loves me."
So your first name is a sentence.? What about the second one..🤗
@@kiwishbj1 the second one is a statement, or what else do you expect?😏
Bjay Guy you are funny. Lol. Most Nigerian names are sentences, some are paragraphs sef..
Wow wow wow May God blessed you and your Team MAYA i am from Sierra Leone but in Chicago United States...More love.....
Greetings my brother +Wode Maya much thank you for showing Love to Salone where I share ancestry with along with Liberian, Ghanian and Nigerian ancestry. I am going back again in a few weeks after going for the first time in April. Looking forward to it. Great works brother.
Oh salone , I will love to be there from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Love to Sierra Leone from Russia
U welcome to my country
yes my country is amazing
Born in Forebay Road, Down street. My favorite time was mango season, only God knows. I love my country, very diverse, religious tolerance and our Krio. I can’t wait to go this summer to eat my crabs, fish ball.
Freetown was created by the British for former Jamaican Maroons and freed slaves in the US who fought on behalf of England in the American independance war. Those blacks from Jamaica and the US were sent to Nova Scotia in Canada when the British lost America. And from Canada, they were relocated to London. But they were having a hard time in London where many ended up living on the streets of London. England decided to send them to Sierra Leone because the British were already based in Sierra Leone during the Transatlantic trade. This is how Freetown came about. Their story is different from the former US black slaves that were sent to Liberia. I will explain the difference when Wode Maya goes to Liberia which is next door to Salone.
Very correct Patriote Gnawa
Actually, Freetown was initially created for the Black Poors of the UK, then the Nova Scotians, Maroons, Recaptives and other settlers. You have vast knowledge of Sierra Leone. Are you a Sierra Leonean?
SIERRA LEONE is the only nation in Africa that has all Africans in one place (FREETOWN). Places like Angola town, Congo cross, Jomo Kenyattah Road, Sani Abacha Street, Portuguese Town, ECOWAS street, OAU Village etc ect are all in Freetown. The land of diamonds, Gold , beaches etc
It's Such A Positive Image That Is Being Given About My Country Contrarily To The Images Portrayed By The Western Journalists.Thanks Little Brother...Wode Maya..
I haven’t been able to follow you on your channel but anyway as of this that I see , I recommended your work towards Africa discovery..

You welcome
Such a beautiful beach, I only knew about Sierra Leone because of the movie Blood Diamond, but seeing it through you're video, such a beautiful country.
The people that did not want to stay in Nova Scotia coming from Jamaica were sent to Sierra Leone..
It was too cold in Nova Scotia coming from the warm climate of Jamaica and so the colonizers brought our families to Sierra Leone..
I believe there is a church there in resemblance of Jamaica..
Maya can you find out more about that please..thank you..

Auntie Yvonne
