William Allen Vivour (fl. 1830-1890) was the single most successful 19th-century planter in Africa[1][2][3] due to his substantial and flourishing cocoa plantation in Fernando Po (Equatorial Guinea).[1] He was the son of a recaptive of Yoruba [4] ancestry captured from what is now present day Nigeria and resettled in Sierra Leone by the British West Africa Squadron, and eventually settled in present day Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria.

Interesting but need more contributors. If you look at the silver lining, rejection of Tinubu in Lagos is an eye opener.

The fear now is the lack of consensus on Adediran or Doherty.

XAUBulls:

1. Nigeria's first pound sterling
millionaire and financier, Candido da Rocha is of direct Ijesha descent in the current State of Osun, and he returned with his parents to Lagos Island in Yorubaland from Bahia, Brazil where he was born in the 1850s to freed parents.

His father and mother were
formerly enslaved in Bahia, Brazil.
Bahia and Cuba have a strong retention of Yoruba culture and religion till today and the Orisas are venerated.


The two Vaughan brothers from South Carolina, USA, are from Egbaland. They returned to
Yorubaland (based on their dying father's instructions) via Liberia then to Lagos Island and Abeokuta.

Then finally settled in Ebute Meta as influential and wealthy
businessmen all in the late 1800s.

Their father who was a Prince was taken as a captive from Nigeria to South Carolina, USA on a slave ship in the early 1800s.



2. The Rhodes-Vivour family could most likely have been Oyo, Egba or Ijesa from Oyo, Ogun, Osun States since the 3 Yoruba sub-ethnicities provided the bulk of deported Yorubas taken on slave schooners to Cuba, Brazil, Venezuela, USA, etc, in the 1800s.


In Cuba and Brazil, the Oyos were the largest from Yorubaland in the 1800s and usually led revolts in Cuba and Brazil because there were many warriors among them.

WorldRichest:


The warriors were the Ibadans. They capture people from the present-day Ondo, Ekiti, Kogi, Niger, Delta, Edo, Anambra, Enugu, Imo, up to as far as they could go. The present-day Oyo, Ogun, Osun, and Kwara were under Oyo Empire which the Ibadan warriors were protecting. So, slaves were not captured from present-day Oyo, Ogun, Osun, and Kwara.

When the Ibadans capture Slaves, they sell the Slavs to the Ijebus, Aworis, and Egbas. This is what caused the generational beef between the Ijebus, Egbas, and Aworis. It was the Ijebus, Aworis, and Egbas that were selling Slaves directly

So, the returned Slaves couldn't have been of indigenes or Oyo, Ogun, or Osun. Several of the Slaves dumped in Lagos after the abolition of Slave Trade are not from Nigeria, the ones from Nigeria cannot be from present-day Oyo, Ogun, Osun. They just all stayed in Lagos because they are grandchildren pf Slaves and they did not really know where they were from

Enough of these imbecilic threads!

But since this not simply about you but a wider audience, how is the following for start...


Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Vivour

Look at it this way: if WIlliam Allen Vivour was the son of a recaptive who was of Yoruba ancestry, then it follows that Vivour was Yoruba!

And you gave an slowpoke answer.
What is it with you "Omo atoun Rin WA" always going about with arrogance on what you clearly know nothing about.
Igbos always want to defend GBADEBO......but get offended if told he is also CHINEDU?

Make una continue. Even the GRV himself Can't say some of the things you idiots proclaim about him.....but it's okay because yall want to be politically correct

Just so you know..... Yoruba no be Fulani. If you think you can run down BAT government the way you did PMB s for 8 years....then youve gotta be kidding because YORUBA NO BE FULANI we go give it back to you in hundred folds if you do anyhow. A word is enough for the wise
