Its obvious the yoruba culture shares similar xtics with those of some caribean and latino countries viz a viz language, music, food, dressing, traditional worship. There's even a yoruba song on the media list of cuba in encarta encyclopedia. Its called orisa oco. However, the 13th century thing looks dubious to me, i guess these people were slaves smuggled into the americas after the slave trade had been outlawed in the nineteenth century. Because of their illegal status, the slaves could not be integrated into the larger society and culture, thus they lived together longer than expected and were able to retain and stengthen the cultures and traditions they brought from africa. My opinion though, i'm not an anthropologist. |

ebere1712: Yoroslaves hahahahahahahaha Useless mgbatisYoroslaves? I have read all manners of condescending stuff about my tribe here on nairaland. I laugh at some of those posts because of the witty nature and crafty play with words while some do get under my skin for real but this one? I can't laugh because it ain't even funny and even you know it's pretty lame, that's why you had to laugh to your own post just to make yourself feel good about your mental inadequacy and it's just too asinine to have me riled up. And you called them useless because they are of Yoruba ancenstry but if they had been of Igbo descent you would by now be shooting off that misfiring gun you call a mouth about how you guys are everywhere like the jews and what have you? Deal with the hurt in your butt. It will heal. 7 Likes |

MICHELLE OBAMA IS A YORUBA WOMAN most black people from south carolina believe they are yorubas. And michelle Obama greatgreat father is from south carolina. his name is Jim Robinson. Do a google search. You would also discovery that even till today, the people of south carolina still claim they are yorubas and they even created and still have a yoruba villages in south carolina one of such villages is called Oyotunji village. So do a google search on Oyotunji village. The first lady of the USA is a Yoruba woman. And we Yorubas are very happy. Our daughter is first lady of the USA. And the other person, Michelle Obama was a greatgrand child of a yoruba slave. Why, history shows that Africa american . half of the african american slave were yorubas , a total of about 700,000 slave. Yoruba Religion gods were know to have been found and still be worship in several state in the united state. This gods still have the same name with those gods still use in africa. The names of this gods are Sango, ogun, orisha, Which group in africa have sango, ogun or orisha, Do the igbo gods bear sango, ogun or orisha, or do fulani or hausa have any gods called sango, ogun or orisha. ??

duni04: Very suspicious and probably fraudulent article. I've never heard of Igbo spoken outside the shores of this country. Igbo of the 13th century? When did the slave trade start? When did Christopher Colombus even discover America? The OP bera provide a link to this articleaccording to an article i read once in wikipedia, a fraction of equatorial guinea, speaks a certain kind of igbo |

Yoruba language is widely spoken in: Tobago, Cuba, Barbados, Oyotunji in USA, Bahia(Brazil), Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, New Cross(Jamaica), Equador, Dominican republic etc.. And they also worship the Orishas... They're more Yorubacentric than most Yoruba people in Nigeria... |

This is no news as students of history should know about the trans-atlantic slave trade. What is of note is that the Yoruba culture and diction survived well unlike that of other tribes Igbo inclusive. Written records clearly showed that more Igbos were shipped away than the Yorubas but how comes it was that of latter that survived? I think it has to do with organization of the tribes, their adaptability to change(attitude towards foreign influence) and the period they were featured in the course of the slave trade. Yorubas have larger settlements that gave them that early sense of communal/cultural identities unlike the Igbos that were segmented and highly conscious of their clans. This helped the Yorubas cement their culture wherever they were taken once they notice any similarity among the slaves. Unlike the Igbos who are mostly linked by diction with dissimilar customs e.g Olaudah Equiano of the 16th century noted that he saw some Igbos in London and the labourers in the sugarcane plantation in Haiti were people of his own stock(possibly because he understood them). Secondly, the Igbos do not hesitate to make changes when they encounter things that is quite unusual whether good or bad(this is still evident today) unlike the Yorubas that are conservative and skeptical of change (this is still evident today). Finally, I think the Yorubas featured more towards the ending part of slave trade e.g Bishop Ajayi Crowther, while the demand for the Igbos dwindled due to their suicidal tendencies. Ceteris paribus, they are welcome home. 3 Likes |

Paul John: Is your god more powerful than theirs? Belief system is an ideology created to enhance consciousness and relationship between human beings and their environment vis-a-vis the universe... Being Yoruba is deeper than just being from Osun, it's a way-of-life and ancestral background... They have Yoruba ancestry just like you, however, they lead a more Yorubacentric lifestyle than most of you do - peep the difference.. 1 Like |
