I am surprised that Tayo Aina didn't seem to understand or realise that Voodoo is actually well entrenched in our very own Nigeria, and that it was our various old Kingdoms ( Ife, Oyo , Benin) that stretched all the way to parts of Dahomey and Togo carrying their various cultural and spiritual practices with them!

[@tundebakare6887]

Correct 👍

[@gardensteps]

@Aframaco Likewise. I was surprised as well the way he narrated it as if he wasn't aware of that tidbit. But I think the ancient Kingdom of Dahomey, present day Republic of Benin was the birthplace of the voodoo/vodun religion. It spread east to ancient Kingdoms of Oyo and Benin in present day Nigeria.

I'm glad you touched on the history of the demonization of Vodou. There was a point in time when every rebellion of enslaved Africans was lead by Vodou priests. In fact, Vodou as a source of motivation and inspiration was directly involved in toppling chattel slavery as an institution. At the commencement of the Haiti Revolution, we believe the following is the prayer/speech said by the Vodou priest who organized it all, Dutty Boukman (bless his name): "...This God who made the sun, who brings us light from above, who raises the sea, and who makes the storm rumble. That God is there, hiding in a cloud, He watches us, He sees all that the whites do! The god of the whites pushes them to crime, but He wants us to do good deeds. But the God who is so good orders us to vengeance. He will direct our hands, and give us help. Throw away the image of the god of the whites who thirsts for our tears. Listen to the liberty that speaks in all our hearts." After this prayer/speech, our Haitian Ancestors went on to defeat the three greatest empires of the day - one after the other. If I was to pray to a god, I will pray to the only God that listened to them.

In physical slavery the chains and the shackles are physical objects that can be seen and felt. Therefore, a slave has no doubt whether he or she is a slave. In mental slavery the shackles and the chains are moved to the brain; which makes mental slavery way more difficult to get out of because the slave no longer realizes that he or she is a slave.

I'm so tired of people saying this movie is the pinnacle of representation... If you want to represent us, let us do it ourselves ! Give us the tools to do it and we will show you !

[@volkerdupke3182]

Make the Tools by yourself. Or,maybe you have no Brain capacity for that ?!

[@-SLEAZY-]

Black panthers literally a marvel fiction movie lol what. It's not what you say. But sadly alot of African Americans themselves think it's real. You can ask an average American that isn't black and they'll tell you it's a fictionous movie.

[@jenniferb3052]

But you don't represent like you should. You should be grateful that African Americans are bringing honor to the image of African cultures. Even Fela Kuti was inspired by the black power movement. Another example is Beyonce Black Is King. We LOVE our Blackness!

[@-SLEAZY-]

also the fact you said "Give us the tools to do it" Lmao did that stem from victim mentality? DO IT YOURSELF holy shit talk about super hand out you probably play the victim card everytime too.

[@Meso504]

are you trying to imply African Americans aren't Africans? That's the energy I get from this.

[@Tokilainen]

I'm Swedish, and one of not only my first friends, but also my oldest and also best friend, is from Nigeria. His mother had a dream about me once, that I was a knight in black armor riding a white horse asking for help. So she put money in her bible, and not long after that I asked my friend in desperation if he had a coin to toss me. He asked his mother who told him about her dream. My friend gave me the money, some food and the story, which I will carry with me forever.

Thank you for documenting this mysterious life

[@ayosonade]

This is lovely. I enjoyed watching it and that part towards the end when you mentioned that you were still the lovely Christian son struck me. It would be nice to see you do a video about the “syncretism” of African religions with Christianity in Brazil (the largest Christian population on earth).

[@juniorwalker2643]

I thank you for this video and all who were Involved in production. I learned a lot by your actual visit to the source, The actual source. You can read and learn from the internet, but that information will always be altered and adjusted to fit a narrative for the western world.

For salary earners having a passive source of income is the best thing you could have , because aside the the fact that it isn’t always enough you could lose your job any day at any time , have something to fall back to is crucial , for me it is trading the Crypto and Stock market and no I didn’t have that much knowledge to begin to earn that’s why I said passive income, I leave the profit making to the pro like my Advisor ' Nolan Velden Brent ' who has been doing a wonderful job.

Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.

[@PhilSommer2]

This is superb! information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor ?

[@Jessicatorres_768]

Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $508k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.

[@philipcollen482]

Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? I’m 40 now and would love to grow my stock portfolio and plan my retirement.

I’ve actually been looking into advisors lately, the news I’ve been seeing in the market hasn’t been so encouraging. who’s the person guiding you?

[@c7evens889]

As a black man living in the UK this was refreshing to watch. I’m of a Caribbean background so my heritage to Africa is a lot more distance than those born there. This video was well documented , the presenter was very well articulated with no bias and definitely helped give an understanding to the culture. Thank you sir. Africa is not portrayed to us in the UK as it is. I urge all black people to go back home and re learn what we don’t know about ourselves.

It is a powerful connection. Toussaint Louverture the hero of the Haitian Revolution ancestors came from Allada Danxome today's Bénin.

This is amazing. As an Egyptian (Proud Black Egyptian) I was always taught that all witchcraft and evil things originated from Egypt or just Africa in general. This is an eye opener and very believable. Thank you for this content.
