7upnigeria: Yorubas are now telling people the difference outside Naija. So, now when you say I'm a Nigerian they'll ask you "Yoruba or Ibo?" They want to know if they should run or not. 5 Likes |

Shikena: Abeg stop this yoruba descendants in Brazil mata. It is the other way around "Brazil descendants in the sw". As a matter of long mathematics, many slaves to brazil were from the east of Nigeria. But when the Brazilians were escaping Brazil for decades, most of them went to Lagos, and then most of them spread throughout the sw. Most of the SE, cross Rivers, and akwa ibom were fighting wars for hundreds of years - first against the arabs, against the Portuguese, then against the British (which ended in 1902); and mind you we also had internal wars between some igbos and tribes in akwa ibom and cross Rivers. So, the Brazilians that came back couldn't go to the east. Matter of fact, most blacks in Brazil are having african gene result traced back to east, akwa ibom and cross Rivers. Of course, Angola, Congo, and other west African countries. Yes, some, a few were yorubas. Brazil is appreciative of yoruba for taking them in. The truth is, the colonial masters in Africa preferred the Brazilian escapees to be their help and help ease the locals. It worked. At least 5 million or more yorubas today, were Brazilian descents. Now though, they have mixed with core yorubas and even other tribes in Nigeria. As for the food, if you say so. I respect your opinion. |

What is your point? I stayed in Salvador, Bahia and I am telling you what I saw and was told. If Yoruba land was just a staging area, how come I saw houses named after Yoruba towns and families in Salvador? How come Yoruba culture was strongly preserved including folk songs and even religion? Why would slaves that were merely staged in Yorubaland be more interested in promoting Yoruba culture? viodemus: 5 Likes |

Raskimonojendor: You are mistaken. It is there. But the Brazilians adopted the yoruba culture because it was the wave at the time. And the blacks there wanted to have some culture to showcase as their own. In the 1800s, most Brazilians felt like if only they can get to Lagos, their slavery will be over. Please, don't think am tarnishing the yoruba contribution to Brazil. I don't have time for that, but facts are facts. For the longest, Lagos was the go to for any Brazilians that can stowaway in a ship that was run by black shipping captains. |
