A lot of ignorance earlier in the thread. Barbados is a majority igbo descent island. Language to certain cultural things point to Igbo. Is the truth now. Trinidad, Grenada, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Dominican republic are examples of Yoruba islands.

No dear, we have Igbos of large stock in the United States of slave arrivals, especially at the Yankee north of Maryland, Virgina, and other states, we also have Haiti yes, and Barbados as said, and a large stock in Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, and also parts of Canada in Nova Scotia.

Look at how bastards born from a thousand fathers were insulting the Igbo race here. And it finally turns out the op and others who cited similarities were very correct.

Igbo hate is a big problem in Nigeria and I one day hope to return this favour to the other tribes in full measure.

You don't need it. I'm Yoruba but I see myself and others irrespective of race, religion or status as human first. Those who hate on other tribes are mostly mentalily deranged and spiritually not okay. Let love guide you in all your dealings.

Unbelievable! One word used in Barbadian colloquial speech is traced to Igbo origin and OP has concluded that the majority of Barbadians are Igbo. Aren't there other words that can be traced to other tribes?... then what? It is most likely any Barbadian is a mixture of tribes because of the practice of slave owners to mix tribes for security reasons and worse.... slaves were bred like animals. There were studs ... young strong men of "good stock" who were used to impregnate women of "good stock" ... regardless of tribe or relationship... where it was not uncommon for a guy to impregnate his own mother .. (origin of the term [i]mother effer)[/i]. So over the years the purity of the tribes was greatly reduced. Similar to Brazil ... predominantly Black at the end of slavery... and Whites were enticed to come to Brazil from Europe to settle but on the condition that they impregnate the Blacks .... to raise the colour profile of the majority to a lighter shade.

And here we are .... Africans... wondering why we are not "progressing " like other people. How can we when our motto seems to be

Divided we stand united we fall.

Colloquially Barbadians refer to their home island as "Bim" or other nicknames associated with Barbados includes "Bimshire". The origin is uncertain but several theories exist. The National Cultural https://thephysioroom.co/ Foundation of Barbados says that "Bim" was a word commonly used by slaves and that it derives from the Igbo term bém from bé mụ́ meaning 'my home, kindred, kind',[20] the Igbo phoneme /e/ in the Igbo orthography is very close to [ ɪ ].[21] The name could have arisen due to the relatively large percentage of enslaved Igbo people from modern-day southeastern Nigeria arriving in Barbados in the 18th century
