YORUBA People From Sierra Leone And Gambia - AKU | Abinibi Hub

In this video, i explain the history of the AKU or OKU people of Yoruba descent in Sierra Leone and Gambia. This group of people are said to be from Oyo Alaafin and Egbaland, known as Abeokuta in this modern day. I'm sure that other than the well-known Yoruba communities in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo, not many people are aware that there are active Yoruba cultures in the two West African nations of Sierra Leone and Gambia. Some of them are now financial ministers in Freetown and Gambia.

Aku: We remain. Awa ti aku.

[@abinibihub]

Welcome. Do you speak Yoruba?

[@favourjolayemi]

@omisorebrothers4241 Akú, not Akù (we remain). Akú is in from to the greeting patrern of the people e.g. Akú igbadun, akú odun.

[@abinibihub]

@favourjolayemi the right word is freedom m greetings. Most Yoruba names are from greetings. Lucumi is from greetings.

​@@abinibihubGood evening...Bawani? Are you aware that the yoruba originally are part of the 12 tribes of Israel?? Especially Ephraim and Judah?? Long before we migrated into Africa? Before we became yoruba 🤔😁👌👍

[@abinibihub]

@rcole172 I honestly don’t know.

[@abinibihub]

The new universal library. 2rd Edition Volume 12 and 13.

@@abinibihub God bless you, much thanks sir.

[@Afrikan_Zealot]

Very nice to know the journey of our Yoruba cousins and their survival in the diaspora. I think we all will do well to connect with each other as best we can. Also think it's important to point out that those who had the biggest role in ending slavery and the slave trade were not british or american but our own Afrikan ancestors who fought them bravely even using our traditional rituals for protection in battle. A Yoruba brother wrote a book (among many other books) about misconceptions of the transatlantic slave trade and the fight against it. I recommend all Afrikans have this knowledge especially those who teach at the historical slave ports kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKG8coBtp8hlZ9Esi=pPCA7Cz8U_G1-SSM

[@abinibihub]

Thanks for this recommendation

[@TomiAdewoleAdetom]

Very good comment family - I would like to point out, too, that the british/american didn't actually end slavery at all - they still have the Stolen Ones in their possession, haven't recompensed them, and still maintain very strong colonial bonds in so-called sub-Saharan Africa; primarily through the placement and maintenance of puppet governments and the military bases that preside over them. Even the end of slavery Proper in America was no kind of an act of mercy; the trade was threatening to tear the country apart due to slaves being much more profitable for one side of the country over the other. It had to take a new form otherwise the country would've been consumed by the internecine struggles of the ruling class of people

[@Afrikan_Zealot]

@TomiAdewoleAdetom is unfortunate almost our whole education system is controlled or heavily influenced by the west and their monopoly of HIStory

If you can trace the Yorubas in different nations then how are they connected to the Israelites that were taken into Atlantic slave trade.

[@sadiqbello6597]

Would've guessed the name Aku or oku may be from them thinking their family members would've thought they were dead when they were captured

[@abinibihub]

Some people believe that on the other hand. But most of the Yoruba descendants are Aku eg, the once in Ghana too are Aku

[@EnzoAbiola]

They speak yoruba there? I never no know the are yoruba in gambia i think is mandinka country

Àlejò in creole is "big rich man" but in Yoruba it's a visitor. I was in Sierra Leone and I heard lots of Yorùbá spoken there but some means something else from what the Yoruba intended them to be😊

That's the sad part about oral history, it's unfulfilling to cultural continuity. Yoruba ancestors missed the opportunity to write stuff down. Maybe they dropped the conjugative version "Alejo Nla", "Alejo pataki".

I don’t think they need to come back. We just need to let them know and we start a Yoruba tourism business in Nigeria. That will help us grow and it will encourage more people to our tribe.

[@lagosian123]

They are already part of Sierra Leone root culture. In Nigerian, there are other Yoruba group that form other kingdoms and have become separate independent groups. (e.g Itsekiri, Edo, Delta and Kogi state) even in part of Northern Nigeria. The Yoruba shared myth of origin with the Kanuri. Oral tradition in Borno has it that the “Yoruba and Kanuri were cousins. According to one mythology, the Yoruba were said to be outspoken while the Kanuri were calm people who detested discussing their private affairs in public, particularly those issues concerning their sexuality. The Kanuri thus referred to the Yoruba as “Khairuba".
