In a recent reply to my comments someone reminded me that S-L pidgin is called Krio (Creole). Of course we know that in Nigeria, but the point is so many of the local words in Krio are Nigerian Yoruba. Oga is a Yoruba word for master, but it's freely used from Naija to S-L. Potopoto don get fire: 0:27-0:30 (There is fire in the mud or swamp) is based on the Yoruba word for mud; it means something unheard of has happened. We should rejoice that gaps are being bridged in our West African culture.
@@Tootisepop I’m well aware that black Americans and people from the Caribbeans have west and central African roots. However, after hundreds of years in bondage, and with the admixture of various African tribes, European and some Amer-Indian DNA, black Americans became their own unique ethnic group and created their own unique culture as descendants of slaves. You Nigerians want to take credit for everything. Instead of doing thorough research on the difference between Sierra Leone Krios and Oku people, you’d rather let ignorance take control and embarrass yourself. I’m Sierra Leonean. I know the history of my people.
"Eewo"' is from Igbo, meaning "Alas!" "Yeye" is Yoruba for nonsense; gbaju'e is scam artist. "Biko" is Igbo for please; egusi and eba are Yoruba and Igbo staples. Sierra-Leone should make the best of its rich cultural background, not quibble about its many sources. Singing in French even though it's officially an Anglophone country is a step in the right direction. Yoruba has been one of the main cultural influences on Salone society; the surprise is the rest of Nigeria has not been far behind.
We are saying the same thing, don't you think? Your spelling of "potopoto" (mud), is slightly different, but even when spelt as "potopota" it still refers to the same matter, wet earth. The sense of the usage is not as important as the meaning of the extraordinary occurrence it tries to convey: when mud catches fires it means something unusual has happened! In Yoruba they might have put the same idea differently, "A kii ri ina ninu ere" (No one finds a fire burning in a swamp).
people u all getting everything wrong this is a sierra leone aka lion mountians...i know this people okay so u cant tell me nothing....pure sierra leonean

The Krios came from Yoruba tribe .
@@TootisepopNo they don’t. Oku people come from the Yoruba tribe. The Krios are of African American and Caribbean as well as recaptured slave decent
