Yorubas took Isese to the americas, so did Ewes and Fon with Vodun.. Igbo were also enslaved..probably in the greatest numbers, but no igbo community survives in the Americas. Wolof, fulani, Congo were also taken as slaves but no Wolof or fulani community survives in the Americas. ..

In many cases slaves held their new faith in Christianity
and their African beliefs at the same time, and sought to fuse the two. For
Muslim Africans this was less possible.
In 1835 in Bahia, the largest slave
rebellion in Brazil was organized by Muslim Yoruba and Hausa slaves and
directed against the whites and against nonbelievers.

looool! liar liar pants on fire, nothing suggests that there were hausa slaves involved in that. see the fact that youve resorted to lying means you have nothing on us

A slave’s identity was not only stripped when sold into the slave trade, but they were assigned a new identity that was to be immediately adopted in stride. This new identity often came in the form of a new name, created by a Christian or Portuguese first name randomly issued by the baptizing priest, and followed by the label of an African nation. In Brazil, these "labels" were predominantly Angola, Congo, Yoruba, Ashanti, Rebolo, Anjico, Gabon, and Mozambique.[38] Often these names were not assigned with regards to ethnicity or origin, but only served as a way for Europeans to divide Africans in a familiar manner. Anthropologist Jack Goody stated, "Such new names served to cut the individuals off from their kinfolk, their society, from humanity itself and at the same time emphasized their servile status".

why is there no hausa community in brazil like there is yoruba? liar liar liar

hausas have never been enslaved by another race.
Shut up ode! The Bahia slave rebellion was conducted by Ethnic yorubas and hausas, Hausa descendants of slaves are also present in salaga

It's general knowledge that the slaves taken to Bahia came from the bight of Benin. .where slave traders were yoruba and Dahomeans. Hausa couldn't have met themselves in Bahia without being slaves to yorubas first.


You have no proof that slave masters stripped them off their identity, giving new names is so far from stripping their identities. the slaves knew where they came from, except children or descendant of slaves shipped in but the first generation themselves knew all about their home. the Europeans kept records of the slaves they shipped and where they were shipped to. . You iidiots were sold by we yorubas


Ahuna - Ahuna was a Nagô slave who lived in Salvador. He travelled frequently to Santo Amaro where his owner had a sugar plantation. It has been suggested that his presence was a key factor in the timing of the rebellion.
Pacífico Lucatan - Lucatan was a Nagô slave who worked as a tobacco roller. He was in prison at the time of the rebellion, and one of the main goals was to free him.
Luís Sanim - Sanim was a Nupe slave who also worked as a tobacco roller. He ran a fund where each member contributed a day's wages for slave labor, presumably monthly, and this money was divided into three parts: one part for cloth to make Muslim garments; a part to masters' portions of slave wages—since Malê slaves did not work on Fridays; and one part to help buy letters of manumission.
Manoel Calafate - Calafate travelled to Santo Amaro to mobilize rebels on the eve of the uprising. He took an active part in the fighting and appears to have been killed in Palace Square.

Elesbão do Corma - Elesbão do Corma was a HAUSA freedman who was known in the African community as DANDARA. He owned a tobacco shop which was also used as a meeting place for Malês. He also travelled through the Recôncavo for his business, and brought the Muslim faith to slaves on the plantations there.[16]

I see hausa have nothing on yorubas.



1535? Why not quote where it says Orompoto conquered nupe



They re-established Oyo as more centralized and expansive than ever. The people created a government that established its power over a vast empire.[6] During the 17th century, Oyo began a long stretch of growth, becoming a major empire. Oyo never encompassed all Yoruba-speaking people.


Taking a cue from their Nupe enemies (whom they called "Tapa"wink, the Yoruba rearmed with armor and cavalry.[6] Oba Ofinran, Alaafin of Oyo, succeeded in regaining Oyo's original territory from the Nupe.[5] A new capital, Oyo-Igboho, was constructed, and the original became known as Old Oyo.[5] The next oba, Eguguojo, conquered nearly all of Yorubaland.[5] After this, Oba Orompoto led attacks to obliterate the Nupe to ensure Oyo was never threatened by them again.



Again, I ask for proof that Nupes enslaved Yorubas... a military defeat and city occupation doesn't say "enslaved"
The Oyos of the city had moved to Borgu.

The Fulani Caliphate attempted to expand further (than Ilorin )into the southern region of modern-day Nigeria, but was decisively defeated by the armies of Ibadan in 1840.

The objectives of her conquests were twofold: extension of her nation beyond its primary borders and reducing the conquered cities to a vassal status. Sultan Muhammad Bello of Sokoto stated that, "She made war upon these countries and overcame them entirely so that the people of Katsina paid tribute to her and the men of Kano and... also made war on cities of Bauchi till her kingdom reached to the sea in the south and the west." Likewise, she led her armies as far as Kwararafa and Nupe and, according to the Kano Chronicle, "The Sarkin Nupe sent her (i.e. the princess) 40 eunuchs and 10,000 kola nuts.... haha these were the yoruba slaves caught by nupee and given to queen amina as tribute who would later sell their brothers to them fir shipment to the americas

Read for yourself, Silly thing....


The slaves sold by Oyo were from four different sources: 1) native criminals, who were not so numerous, 2) war captives, who were the majority 3) slaves given in tribute by vassal states, such as Dahomey, who were not so many, and 4) slaves bought from Nupe, Borgu and even the Hausa states and Borno, especially in the late 18th century. Adams (1786-1800) refers to the large numbers of Hausa slaves for sale at Porto Novo

macof scholes0

like i said, your brother shot himself in the foot, he gave me the means to destroy hi, this is what i got from the article he linked

Well before the jihād, Hausaland was tied into the slave trading network of the Oyo empire. Robin Law observes that enslavement of Oyo citizens did not become common until after 1810, with a consequent aggravated instability of the kingdom. Before that time slaves were obtained from outside, with a great expansion in the 1780s of trade in slaves purchased from the north. He concludes that any political consequences should be sought in Hausaland rather than in Oyo
How does this go against all what scholes0 and I have been saying? Damn! You hausa are really dumb folks .

The article made it clear that oyo empire had slaves from the northern nations ie nupe, Ebira, Hausa, and fulani.
Hausaland on the other hand, never had southerners as slaves. There was no market in the reach of hausas to purchase southern slaves. . You sold yourselves.
Yorubas in slavery didn't come until Oyo lost much of its power in the 1800s, and yoruba subsequent intertribal wars. yoruba slaves of this time never left africa. .. many of them are in Sierra Leone, some came back home
