walexy100:


A friend of mine from Delta State was speaking a particular Yoruba dialect that shares similarity with Ilaje; he asked me to guess the language and I said Itshekiri. He said no it's Lukumi. I was speechless because I always thought Itshekiri is the language similar to Yoruba in Delta State.

So many things actually bind is together unfortunately we don't see
I went to Benin for a traditional wedding between my Brother (Yoruba) and his Benin Wife to be. As they were speaking, it was like they were speaking Yoruba which I couldn't comprehend.

Numbering among the Yorubas and the Igalas are similar

Some words in Ibo and Yoruba are similar
Like:
Ogwu (Ibo) = Ogun (Yoruba)= Medicine or Charm
Iba (Ibo) = Iba (Yoruba) = Fever
Okuko (Ibo) = Akuko (Yoruba) = Chicken/Cockerel
etc
My Ibo spellings may not be correct!

We are all somehow related

I think they call it guarani

guarani is native america language speaking in paraguay

ovieigho:

Oranmiyan was not the first oba of Benin
After owodo there was no capable person to lead the Benin kingdom, note: even before owodo there have been Kings that ruled Benin kingdom(igodomigodo)

So the kingmakers sent emissaries to oduduwa in ile ife ( one of their sons anyways)
So oduduwa gifted them oranmiyan who gave birth to eweka.

Oduduwa did not sound like a yoruba name
If you know
Ozoduwa
Izoduwa
Ereduwa
Adesuwa
You will know even oduduwa migrated from benin

Oduduwa is a Yoruba name people bearing it till today you can run a Facebook search to confirm this.

Are Yoruba people not having names like

Adesua

Oluwa

Muyiwa

Odumakin
Etc


Ogiso (were mere chiefs before ORANMIYAN came to Uselu.

Uselu is a Yoruba word "Making of a town"

The earlier Obas of Benin are buried in Ife

The wife of Oba of Benin are called "Olori " which is a Yoruba word.

grandstar:
Some of these people are white. They probably have some Yoruba ancestry generations past. I also suspect that some outsiders may have joined in the worship.

Most so called "White" people in Brazil would be at lest 7-10% Black if they went for a DNA test.

AwkaetitiBabe:
Accept? Most of them ancestors were yoruba slaves.

Actually the white are going the orisha worshipping way......many are taking up Yoruba traditional religion. Even in USA and elsewhere

osusuallstars:
Do they speak and understand Yoruba

Yoruba is an official language in Brazil, many even have Yoruba names

majamajic:
I think Yorubas are from Brazil , just like Igbos from isreal , hausas are from Mali ?

I heard

I have a Yoruba friend from Santos in Lagos island , his granddaddy is from Brazil ,

Why do you think migration can only happen when people move from Brazil to Western Africa and not the other way around? History tells us that Some Yoruba people were taken as slaves to the Americas and when slave trade was abolished, the free 'slaves' were dumped in Brasil, Cuba, Haiti, other Carribian countries and in Liberia West Africa. So you see, the Yorubas you see today in Brazil are the descendants of Yorubas in Western Nigeria.

unitysheart:


Ọba of Lagos is actually Ọba of Eko. He is eleko of eko.

And Eko is just a small section of Lagos Island, most the land in Lagos belong to Ijebu, Awori and Egba, ikorodu is Ijebu land, Epe too and many more. Akiolu only has political privilege nothing more. He dare not go Epe or Ikorodu and other section of land and talk trash.

Useless Benin, always want to be noticed. You will find your descendants in Italy doing ashawo.

You are completely wrong, some will even divine IFA for you, and prescribed all the necessary etutu/ebo in Yoruba

You may have a point.

There was this white American supremacist who was soon to learn he was 14.8% black. Worse, he learnt this on a show on television

Serves him right. I'm black and proud.

not so bro, I interact with some online and spoken Yoruba is top notch..... If may interest to know that, IFA is study at university level in Brazil, and most of the undergraduates always chose to come to South west for mandatory one year practical study.

YourNemesis:

but bro,they were taught to hate their skin in that country by feeding them lies about the redemption of ham,they are whitening them through branqmieto,but some of them are getting sense now.it is only in Brazil u will see mother tell his child to bring white husband home so they can purify their skin color.

Unlimitk:

Check their DNA
U don't know if white mix with black,white will b dominant
Eventually they will look like white ppl after race mixing
White genes is strong
Have u seen Drake?
Would u then say drake Is only white after Drake has black father

Lol black gene is actually the dominant one, whenever the two race mix.......aside white is subsets of black race

egbon,you can say some of them are speaking it by learning it,but most of them don't truely understand it,the one they understand is blend with too much Portuguese,I tried it with one Cuban,I didn't understand poo of what he was saying on that day.
they are speaking it truely but too much of Portuguese and Spanish in it.

Mraphel:

ORANMIYAN the first Oba of Benin traces his Origin to ile ife

Says who ?

Oranmiyan himself was Prince Ekaladerhan Izoduwa ( Oduduwa) son from Benin

"Madness across the border"

Kokoebapluse:





prince of who ? Guy abeggi accept Truth, oromiyan one of odudua son was the father Beni. We are your father not your prince

Self deciet in delusion.... Benin simply took the prince oromiyan back to rule benin as heritage demands a bloodline of ogiso.whom is father was oduduwa and the people of ile ife assumed he was a God ...oduduwa is not the father of Yoruba's neither was he a god other kings have ruled ile ife before oduduwa arrival ...oduduwa simply acknowledged himself as God prince since were he came from ogiso were kings of the skies heavnly kings

Tales by moonlight story u people was told totally untrue.

Check the past kings of ife. U will see ORANMIYAN is not a direct son of Oduduwa.

Ekaladerhan Izoduwa was not Oduduwa, he was killed in the forest by the Ogiso chiefs.

Name any Benin oba that was buried in ile ife

The word “oba” was used by the Binis
But even in ife oba was not used as a title but the yorubas generalized it

Ekaladerhan Izoduwa was not Oduduwa, he was killed in the forest by the Ogiso chiefs.

Yes , he was sentenced to death and No , he wasn’t killed . The messenger sent to kill him freed him and he went on exile changing his name from Ekaladerhan to izoduwa .

Sundaygeorge:
What is the name of the tribe...in Brazil,that descend from Yoruba

They are Yorubas descendants taking as slave trade by the Portuguese to Brazil. Between 17-19 century.

They are purely Yorubas descendants taking as slave trade by the Portuguese to Brazil.

saheedbadmus:

It is not about gradually. It has happened long time ago while you were busy struggling to be white.

WRONG! Its the other way round. The Yoruba tribe in Brazil are from Nigeria through slavery...
