Sunky200: This was a thread filled with potential, but OP spoiled it with several wrong info - He claims that No 3 country (Brazil) use it as an official language, and there's no such thing. Portuguese is the official Language spoken in Brazil.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Brazil 2 Likes |

Sunky200: Here's an extract I found on CUBA - "Lucumi dialect originates from the Niger-Congo category and it is a Yoruboid language. The language is used secretly in sacred functions specifically by a community known as the Santeria. This community is made up of the ancestors of African slaves known as the Yoruba. These people have combined their indigenous spiritual practices, beliefs, and values with the region’s Catholic practices. Lucumi, as compared to the Creole dialect, is a dead language as citizens do not use it to communicate." 1 Like |

Lol!!! I don’t think these people speak Yoruba but their culture is largely influenced by Yoruba slaves who were shipped to those locations in large numbers |

Xavi2019: actually Yorùbá is now an official language alongside other official language in Brazil. check the date the news you're reading was created, Yoruba was recognised as an Intangible Heritage sometimes this year or so |

Xavi2019: sometimes in 2018 Gostaria usar esse opportunidade para parabenizar os povos de Yorubas no Estado de Rio de Janeiro e Brasil geral pelo esse ato de Governador do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. PARABENS BRASIL!!! ................................................ The Government of Rio de Janeiro has approved and accepted Yoruba language as part of their Cultural Heritage taking a cue from UNESCO as the body did to some World Intangible Heritage sites. Religion and Culture. This translate into teaching Yoruba language, culture, tradition and religion especially in the various Yoruba religion houses (Ilé Ase) in Rio de Janeiro and am sure soonest in the whole of Brasil. make use of Google for more info as I don't have the link 3 Likes

Xavi2019: It's clear that you didnt bother to read the link you posted well. Yoruba is recognised as ‘patrimonio imaterial’ to the people of Brazil - meaning that the language is being given a landmark status; recognition of great importance to the people of Brazil. Re-visit your link and check properly or follow the one below that will take you straight to the proof. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Brazil#Officialization_of_languages_as_a_linguistic_or_cultural_heritage |

baby124: I once watched a video on YouTube showing a ceremony. I'll see if I can find the link. It was done with so much pride and was truly beautiful to watch. Their pronouncations were off, but other than that... Especially, since in Nigeria it's seen as backward and evil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATgNzwHSfjw 2 Likes |

fieryy: The irony is mindbogling, the only well known evil ideologies present in Nigeria are infact Christianity and Islam. These foreign, fake and malicious ideologies have created a situation whereby we seem unable to assign the correct significance to that which should really matter to us. It's due to Christianity and Islam that we have chosen to neglate our God given legacy. Africansic history is soley our responsibility as well as being the single most important aspects of legacy. Our history is unique throughout world history due to the fact that at a certain point in time, Africansic and World history was one and the same. Their are millions upon millions of people all around the world waiting for our guidance yet we've become distracted from reality by the falsehood of Christianity and Islam that instead of us to be finding ways to nuture the spirituality of our people worldwide, we are wasting our time waiting for a fictitious character they call Jesus. The quicker we learn what our priorities really are, the better for us all. 1 Like |

Amujale: I agree with you. African history is our responsibility. It's our story to tell and for too long we've let it be told by others. Colonization has made us see African religions, cultures and traditions as evil, our languages as sth inferior, our skin and hair as not beautiful enough. That needs to change. However, as for nurturing the spirituality, I honestly couldn't care less, as I'm an atheist. But I think it needs to be spoken about with respect and in a positive way, especially by Africans. 1 Like 1 Share |

fieryy: Totally agree with the spirit of your post. Naturally as an Africanist, my views are that history is important, it becones more so, in the context of the African. We know that West Asia and Europe stole and pillaged our history in order to better themselves. It isnt inconveivable to suggest that out of all the peoples to make use of our parents history, none will be as effective as us and our diaspora, the real owners of the legacy. |
