BeeBeeOoh: It's not very surprising. Most of the Yoruba in Francophone countries actually migrated from Nigeria. What impressed me is that her ancestors came all the way back across the Atlantic to find their roots. 3 Likes |

It is not in anyway surprising that Angelique Kidjo chooses to identify with her Yoruba folks. You can't be a Yoruba and won't be so proud of your Yoruba-ness. It is natural;just like how the Jews are always so proud of being Jewish. From a native Yoruba roadside "Acara" (Akara) seller in Bahia,Brazil to the great hunters of Gambia and Sierra Leone,and the numerous "Oxun" (Osun) worshippers in Cuba,they are all very proud of their Yoruba ancestry. All of them will tell you that Ile Ife in Osun State,Nigeria is their ancestral home. Yoruba are special breeds of Africans;culturally very deep and highly spiritual people. We are just naturally so proud of who we are. An Ewe (Yoruba) person from Accra in Ghana,or similar persons from Porto Novo or Ajase in Benin will proudly say same thing Angelique Kidjo just said. So,to those who hate us because of being who we are and that we are so proud of our Yoruba- ness,we don't have any apology to tender !! You can continue to hate on because we won't change !

LeoDeKing: Lol. I was looking out for this. She was sha told about Iseyin but did you notice her core area of discussion was Africa. Learn a thing or two from that. These people don't even reckon with Nigeria, they reckon with the continent. Check her story, her great great great great great grand grand grand father....

The Zoo na playing ground, bus stop of catching cruise and adding more social followers to your account and they are good in nothing else.. Use popularity & lies and food to get them going.. See this one "my grandfather’s great great great great father came back from Brazil, they found their roots in Iseyin.”This one no do her, she come throw another one : “From my mother’s mother’s side, we have always been from Nigeria, so we have families in Abeokuta. Ibadan, Lagos, everywhere, I have cousins I haven’t seen a million years that I miss a lot.”
