​@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.

[@abinibihub]

@emmanuelogundipe3328 there is something called borrowed words. We have shared some words with hausa people but not ur name. Yoruba is wiser than accepting what’s not their name and i fact they fought before the name was accepted.

As a proud granddaughter of the Alaketu of Ketu Epe land, I cherish memories of exploring my grandfather's archives, discovering documents that revealed our people's presence in Benin, Brazil, and beyond. Our rich heritage spans the globe, fascinating me with its widespread reach.My frequent travels to Ghana allowed me to admire the Alaketu of Ketu palace in Benin, sparking a desire to connect with my cousins within those walls. I dream of returning with my children, introducing them to our lineage,and reuniting with my extended family. Brazil, with its Ketu ties, has become a destination on my bucket list, further solidifying my connection to our transnational legacy.

My 2x grandfather told me “Ti Anowo Ni Kan Deji “ Can you help me translate this please ?? Or how to properly say ig ?

I’m sure someone will help you here

[@thelastgriot]

@ nobody did

[@TitusOsikoya]

With no insight into the context of the message, It is difficult to tell the meaning. But in transliteration, I could decipher the meaning as follows: Ti Anowo Ni Kan Deji Ti aba na owo, ni nkan di meji It is when we extend our hands, that things become two. It is when we give to others that we receive more. The more you give, the more you receive. If this fits into your meditation context, then it’s possible it is the correct meaning. It is also close to the maxim - oke lowo afun-ni ngbe (the hand of the giver is always at the top). Generally to me, it seems the message you are getting is - Givers never lack bountiful rewards.

Olukumi is a language that has its root in yoruba dialects (Owo, Ondo state specifically) which means, "My friend". There is a group in Aniocha north in Delta whose language is 'olukumi.' This group of people believe that they migrated from around Owo. Upon enquiry I realized that most of their words have the same meaning with people.

Bro. One of the Cuba ambassador to Nigeria said 80% of Cuba are Nigeria while 60% out of the 80% are Yoruba.

[@abinibihub]

Wow really. Do you have references to that comment?

[@oluyinkaifabunmi6382]

I have been to Cuba, and I know what I'm saying. The only tribe from Nigeria in Cuba is Yoruba. Other Nigerian you may see there go there to study orcgor business

[@abinibihub]

@oluyinkaifabunmi6382 wow

[@lagosian123]

Olukunmi means My friend in Yoruba dialect. From there Lucumi was formed.

[@abinibihub]

Thank you my brother

[@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.

[@just_awesome_1996]

Thr akus of the Gambia and krios of sierra Leone are of yoruba decent I'm a proud aku/krio

[@abinibihub]

Do you speak Yoruba?

[@lolujubril]

Observation from my understanding the visit of the Ooni of Ife, was after Yoruba was made its official language and it was not as a result of him lobbying for that to be done.

[@abinibihub]

Ok.

[@abinibihub]

Thanks for your contributions

[@LasisiBuari]

In Benin republic, Yoruba is called Yoruba and the people There are same as those in yorubaland of nigeria. Anago is also a tribe assimilable to Yoruba. Don't make confusion.

[@abinibihub]

Thanks for your contribution

[@AAy11Yrs]

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.

[@obrightmanemyotabor9358]

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

[@abinibihub]

Explain your self better

[@obrightmanemyotabor9358]

My language was clear and precise and I know you understand me. Why talk In Yoruba when u know u have others would be interested watching you?

[@seunawoye3884]

Good job, a quick note, Lucumi is a derivative of the Yoruba word Olukumi, Which mean friend or kinship.

[@abinibihub]

Thanks for your contribution. I’m from Ibadan and olukumi sounds like a name. Now I know better and thanks anyways.

[@kazeemganiyu8160]

Good job ❤👏👋

[@abinibihub]

Thanks brother.

[@adetunjiololadebakare5200]

Lucumi might have come from the Awori dialect of the Yoruba language - Oluku mi - which means Ore mi/my friend.

[@abinibihub]

Wow.

[@abinibihub]

Are you an awori?

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

[@dbanjjoseph2137]

Honestly Nigerians are bless it consist of Igbo Hausa Yoruba but Yoruba is bigger than Africa it is found in black carribean in black Europe and black America scattered across America they spread the Nigerian ancestors all over d world due to their slavery population most people trace their dna and dominant and potential to Nigerians whether they like it or not Nigerians is still the giant of Africa cause most history started from west Africa

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.

[@micaholadapo2581]

I think Lacumi is a variant of Lukumi. And lukumi is basically Ọwọ language My friend (Oluku mi). It’s just a thought and don’t know the history but happy to learn

[@abinibihub]

You are correct and it’s not just owo. Ijebu and some part of ilesha and ekiti

[@adebisiomotayoadekunbi4951]

Lacume came from olukumi, meaning my brother

[@segunlewu2430]

Please correct this your abinibi o it should be re mi re mi but your spelling is do mi mi mi

[@abinibihub]

It has been corrected. Thanks alot
