10 Foreign Countries That Speaks YORUBA, No. 7 Use It As Official Language | AbinibiHub

Yoruba is primarily spoken in Nigeria, where it is one of the major languages in Nigeria. However, there are also Yoruba-speaking communities in other countries. Here are 10 foreign countries where Yoruba is spoken, along with what it is called in those countries:
Benin Republic - Yoruba is called "Anago"
Togo - Yoruba is called "Ana Ife"
Ghana - Yoruba is called "Yorùbá" (same as in Nigeria but the twi tribe).
Sierra Leone - Yoruba is called Aku or Oku
Brazil - Yoruba is called Nago
Cuba - Yoruba is called Lukumi or Lucumi
Trinidad and Tobago - Yoruba is called Oruba
Gambia - Yoruba is called Aku or Oku
Liberia - Yoruba is called Kru
United States - Yoruba is called "Yorùbá" (same as in Nigeria) in communities with significant Nigerian diaspora.
United Kingdom - Yoruba is called "Yorùbá" (same as in Nigeria) in communities with significant Nigerian diaspora.
Canada - Yoruba is called "Yorùbá" (same as in Nigeria) in communities with significant Nigerian diaspora.
In these countries, the Yoruba language is mainly spoken by members of the Yoruba diaspora communities who have maintained their language and culture outside their home town like Ibadan, Lagos or Eko, life,oyo,ekiti, ondo and abeokuta.

​@@Allah_Loves_Forgives_and_SavesThey do, they're just lost to time. Actually there is no word as Yoruba. It has no meaning in the Yoruba language because it's a name that was given to us by foreigners. Mostly the Batonu people. Our original name is lost to time and some of our words as well. That's why the Yoruba word for onions today is in Hausa.

Thank you brother for this history and connecting us back to our people. Surely, we need to bring our Yoruba People back home regardless whether they want to retain their adopted countries or the countries they find themselves. We have to make a case for this integration now. Our people should be brought back to their lineages in Yorubaland. We need to rewrite the dark history. The children of our ancestors should be brought back home from the Americas, the Carribbean, Africa and any part of the world they may find themselves. If there is any of people that does not want to come back we should confer Yoruba nationality on them unless they do not want the nationality I understand that some people would argue that Yorubaland in Nigeria is not stable at the moment to accommodate our ancestors coming back to the land. Yes, this might sound true but as people we have to lay foundation to achieve this home coming of our people because the dark history must be defeated and rewritten.

Nice.

[@Ay11Yrs]

Wow so interesting kudos to you bro 👍👍👍👍 To my concern main Yoruba land are still suffering and bleeding from slave trade that our forefathers partake in deliberately ,the cursed that Yoruba slaves lay at then on yoruba land ,need to be revoke, Yoruba at today in mainland need a massive platform to dedicate to all speaking Yoruba countries to promote unification ,peace ,prosperity and connections for next generation to come, Yoruba is a nation , it can be his own country without merging with Nigeria, present Nigeria it's setting Yoruba backwards every single day,from earlier before colonization of western and the amalgamation, Yoruba has already have system of government in the old oyo empire history. Yoruba have a long way to go., need to get back to where it was before the amalgamation of 1914, so it can prevail and outshine on is own potential. Yoruba Bigger than Africa

[@abinibihub]

This is beautifully said. But I have a question do you know the current condition of the old Oyo empire? We our leaders.

[@ballerslounge5380]

have anyone looked at the japaness lanuage ? it sounds very african.

[@abinibihub]

They even have some words that sound much like Yoruba but I’m not sure we have any connection but we just need to keep our mind open.

[@user-tk8mc9qh7y]

Please use a subtitle in English so many more non-Yoruba speaking in the audience can understand.

[@abinibihub]

I’m working on it. Thank you

Yes. Oyo Tunji is a modern day creation but we love the concept. Yoruba is bigger than Africa.

Yorubas are also in Liberia. Remember Yemi Johnson who played a part in the overthrowing of Samuel Dow?

[@abinibihub]

Yes you are right

[@freexonmedia]

Thank you for this great content. Very enlightening, educative and informative.

[@abinibihub]

Thanks for watching and I’m glad you loved it. You deserve the medal my brother.

[@abiodunadepoju]

Nothing like Lakunmi. It's lucumi means Olukumi (My friend ).

[@abinibihub]

It’s corrected during edit but anyways thanks for your contributions sir.

[@abiodunadepoju]

@@abinibihub Uwc and well done

[@abinibihub]

@abiodunadepoju thank you sir.

[@draysax]

Sorry to be finnicky... but the camera is out of focus most of the time.

[@abinibihub]

Are you sure that’s not your network?

[@draysax]

Surely isn't my network. Except it's an intentional edit, the background pictures and books were in focus at some point, and then your face was in focus at some point. You were more in focus at around 2:38, but was out of focus for the most part of the video. If you moved back a little bit, the focus would be perfect. Perhaps the camera autofocus was not having a good time. Forgive me, the content is fantastic, but I could not help but notice the focus issue. I'm a videographer.

[@abinibihub]

@@draysax thanks for the observation anyways. I’m using a 13 year old camera and I don’t expert it to be perfect tho but for now his my best friend.

[@draysax]

@@abinibihub Content is always king sir. And you have great content.

[@godwinayoola5808]

My brother you forget to mention ( HAITI )

[@abinibihub]

Oh yea. I just picked the first 10 that comes to mind. Next time I will do 15. Are you from there? I can see this video is bring Yorubas together.

[@richardearl2731]

Yes, most of people from there are slaves from Benin republic, the egun, ewe and come people reason their cultures are related to those of Benin 🇧🇯. Jamaica 🇯🇲 too, yorubas are all over the world all over the Caribbean

[@godwinayoola5808]

Yeah! You got it, I have a friend called Obason from Haiti and I told him that he is from a Yoruba/Benin tribes .

[@abinibihub]

@godwinayoola5808 most of their fore travelled through quidah point of no return.

[@adebisiomotayoadekunbi4951]

Lacume came from olukumi, meaning my brother

[@dlordismyhelp]

Olukumi means my friend in some yoruba dialect

[@abinibihub]

Honestly I don’t know.

[@adewaleadediran8417]

The word is from OLUKUMI, a Yoruba dialect for my bossom friend

[@abinibihub]

Thanks for your contribution

[@Majority33]

Olukumi is a Remo word for 'My friend.'

[@abinibihub]

Really?

[@Majority33]

@@abinibihub Yes, it means the last person or friend standing by/for me to lean on. In fact, everyone in Yoruba is translated to Oluku-luku.

[@abinibihub]

@Majority33 ok

[@akismatv610]

Bro how many Yoruba in U.K

[@abinibihub]

Do you know?

[@ajibolawealth719]

OLukumi, means my fellow friends in Yoruba.

[@abinibihub]

Yes. You are right. I read about it after the video. Thanks for your contribution

[@henryawojobi5837]

OLUKUMI means my dearest friend or family, there is a town or a tribes in South South Nigeria, known as OLUKUMI, combinations of both YORUBA and IGBO people bearing names from both tribes eg Bamidele Azikwe. LUCUMI is a translation of OLUKUMI

[@abinibihub]

I agree with you sir but Azikwe is not a Yoruba name.

[@possibilitySCHOOL]

There still people in America..in Oyotunji Village, they speak Yoruba and there traditional ruler i.e Oba

[@abinibihub]

True. We just need to bring everybody together

[@hisexcellency676]

OLUKUMI IS A YORUBA WORD WHICH MEANS MY FRIEND IN EKITI AND OKUN

[@abinibihub]

Even ekiti. Wow

[@obrightmanemyotabor9358]

Why didn't you write your headline with Yoruba so we can scroll pass?

[@abinibihub]

[@obrightmanemyotabor9358]

[@professortemmy]

Congratulations on a job well done. This is quite educative...but please Yoruba isn't an official language in Brazil. Please verify.

[@abinibihub]

It is. It was done in 2018. I will confirm it and come back to you.

[@abinibihub]

I just googled it again and it says it’s now compulsory in Brazil primary, secondary school.

[@richardearl2731]

Check google Brazil and you’ll see Yoruba is one of their official language

[@user-hadey15]

Mr man it's one of their official language. Hope you understand my English.

[@professortemmy]

Hello sir, thanks so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it. First of all, I'm a Yoruba, I love our culture and heritage and I'd love to see the language spoken everywhere on earth. As regards the Yoruba language in Brazil, I can tell you for free that Yoruba is used in the Candomblé religion for prayers and offerings but not as an official language nor used in the classrooms. The Ooni of Ife and other stakeholders indeed made the move to make it an official language...truth be told, that's on paper but it's yet to be practical or a reality. However, the Yorubas can make it a reality because the Brazilian government can't do it without the help of native Yoruba speakers.@abinibihub

[@oxfordcommercialservices1000]

Full Yoruba King😊

[@abinibihub]

Yes oh

[@idafiokabetter9181]

You didn't add Benin Republic

[@abinibihub]

Benin is there.

[@idafiokabetter9181]

@abinibihub oh okay, sir. I didn't notice it and keep up with the great work 👏 🙌🏿 .

[@abinibihub]

@idafiokabetter9181 I called them the anago people.

[@user-ur5zu5rt9g]

Mandinkas are great

[@abinibihub]

Thx

[@adeoluolubayoalana2897]

It was the Portuguese that was in Benin Republic first, not Brazillians

[@abinibihub]

That was what I said. I was talking about Brazil’s official langauage before switching. Anyways thanks for the observation.

[@oluwatoyinolawole1821]

Olukumi means my friend

[@abinibihub]

Thanks. You are right. It was a mistake.
