I greet my yoruba neighbors. Good this thread has progressed although I've not yet followed events here. Whats the latest on fulani attacks in yorubaland? I hear they are now in Ogun. I guess this is the best thread to discuss this issue, ilekegd, superstar1. Follow my hashtag.

I won't say so entirely.I was reading somewhere that Yorubas were sent to Bahamas but they hardly held onto their culture...so you won't find remnants of it surviving like how you did in terms of Trinidad e.g Shango Baptist faith.Trinidad case is because majority of the Yorubas came as indentured laborers in the 1800s...so I guess that's why certain aspects of their culture was able to survive here.

The cultural identity of people living in the Bahamas prior to the adoption of the nation-state identity was primarily African or European. The Yoruba in the Bahamas identified with their Yoruba cultural heritage. The same was true for the Kongos. This extended into the twentieth century, as Dr Cleveland W. Eneas documents in his autobiography, “Bain Town”.

Aareonakakanfo:







What a man can do, a woman can do better.

ilekemd:


Yoruba culture isn't just about Yoruba religion.

quimicababes:

I know chic....but some ppl do associate the religion to the culture.Like a friend was asking me if you can learn yoruba if u are not isese.Another friend when we was doing yoga...she was like jeeze I hope them don't bring hinduism into it and felt uncomfortable doing it as sometimes the lady would play indian music lol .It wouldn't hurt to try tho.

ilekemd:

So you fit speak pidgin, but the koko of the matter na Yoruba. We must Yorubanize you

Aareonakakanfo:
