Did you just call someone Indian refugee? That’s bad. No one is a refugee by nature. Don’t let politics control your perception of humanity.

Good evening, well-meaning Nigerians,

Please sir/ma… This is my first time doing this, but I have no other option than to beg you, my daddies, mommies, brothers and sisters on Nairaland Forum for assistance.

Please help me; I am very very hungry. I have not eaten since Tuesday morning. This is due to the fact that I was evicted from where I was squatting. I have been running helter-skelter looking for where I can get a temporary place to stay.

Please, I am totally broke. I don't have any money; I will appreciate it if anyone can help me with any amount just for me to get something to eat today. Please, GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Food / Re: How Many Of These Yoruba Food, Soups and Vegetables Do You Know? by oloshun(m): 10:11pm On Jan 04
Goodvibes007:

Yorubaland is huge and spans at least 3 present day countries.

Salvador, Bahia has the greatest concentratrion of blacks. In Bahia, most slaves came from the Mina Coast and were of Yoruba, Fon, Ewe, Hausa origin in contrary to other regions where Bantu slaves from Angola & Congo predominated. Yoruba and other West Africans were Muslims and thus could read and speak in Arabic which impressed white people. Same applies mostly to alot of South American countries.

Although Brazil received slaves from various parts of Africa, including the Eastern Coast, most slaves came from the then called Slave Coast - situated where today are the modern states of Nigeria, Togo and Benin - and smack in the middle of Yorubaland.

Portuguese traders bought slaves there since 1450, and in the 1600s. they built a fort in Ouidah, Benin - the Fortaleza de São João Baptista de Ajudá. The place served as a trade center, with the locals buying European and Brazilian products (tobacco, sugar and spirits, mostly) and selling slaves - mostly Yorubas.
During the 1800s. the fort was abandoned, and occupied by a Brazilian slave trader, Francisco Felix de Souza, roughly from 1805 to 1844. Francisco Felix received from the King of Benin the aristocratic title of Xaxa, established a harem, had countless children and established the largest slave market in Africa. ONLY TO BAHIA (his native State, by the way) he exported HALF A MILLION PEOPLE during his life, and he supplied Rio and Pernambuco as well, and the Americans and the British. (If you want to know more about the Xaxáma, read The Viceroy of Ouidah, by Bruce Chatwin.

In his book the Chacha is a Gaucho from Bahia, and Bahia and Rio Grande are 3.000 km apart. You can also watch Cobra Verde by Werner Herzog, loosely based on his story. If you really want to know about him - and know Portuguese - read Francisco Felix de Souza, Mercador de Escravos by Prof. Alberto da Costa e Silva).

Just to give an idea of the size of his operation, in today’s value the Chachá’s empire would be worth 3 billion dollars. Although I can’t see why, his descendants - called Ajudas - still revere his memory, speak some Portuguese words, turned his home into a Museum, and give a big party on his birthday. More incredible yet is that a few years ago the then PT Governor of Bahia, Jacques Wagner, crashed in to the party to wish “happy birthday” to the memory of probably the worst slave trader in History.

But wait a minute - if more Yorubas came to Brazil, that meant that they enslaved their own people? The answer is, of course, NO. Most Yorubas were enslaved by the Fon, which inhabited Northern Benin. And why they did not fought back? Well, if you have someone who’s worth 3 Billion supplying your enemy with guns, that’s difficult.

Usi g logic, and you will find the reason for the prominence of the Yoruba people: lots of people of one ethnicity landing in the same place are more likely to preserve at least some of their culture.


Please I need your contact.
Food / Re: How Many Of These Yoruba Food, Soups and Vegetables Do You Know? by oloshun(m): 10:01pm On Jan 04
[quote author=viodemus post=127780418]


Abeg go and study more. Is not a secret.
Brazil has the largest population of blacks outside of Africa. Yes, yoruba culture has a head start, because it was the go to place for brazilian slaves. I also stayed in Brazil, I lived there, not visit. I saw when many of them were dumbfounded that their dna is not tracing back to yoruba like they thought. All their life, they have been told of yoruba and yoruba culture.

My hypothesis on how they came to claim yoruba culture, is that many of the ship captains, who were the big boys amongst slaves in those times, were very influential in spreading the yoruba culture there. And then during their wars, the colonials took some Africans especially the Brazilians back there to go fight. After the war, those ones help spread the yoruba ministry again.

The whites of Brazil couldn't tell the blacks they were lost people like the Americans. By the way, about 25% of American slaves, were taken from Brazil. Brazil was the staging ground for the Mexican, American, etc. slaves. It was from Brazil that they dispatched slaves all over the Americas in the 1600s, and 1700s.

The Brazilians just held on to what they know, and it was mostly because they could get to Lagos, Nigeria. The fact is, over 5 or more million of yorubas today, came from Brazil. It was even because of the Brazilian model that American govt decided to send some African Americans to current day Liberia; but that did not translate in the African American communities like the Brazilians. Am sure if it did, the current black Americans would have been saying they all came from liberia.

Politics / Re: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Visits Yoruba Cultural Centre In Lagos by oloshun(m): 4:07pm On Oct 31, 2023
aQUINandmore:

As someone from Edo, I find myself drawn to the Yoruba culture of Nigeria. It's not just a fascination; it's a deep appreciation and love that I hold for what I consider to be the most beautiful culture in Africa. It might seem unusual for me to have such an affinity for a culture outside of my own, but there's something truly special about the Yoruba heritage that captivates my heart.

The Yoruba culture is a tapestry of history, a masterpiece of traditions that have withstood the test of time. It's like a living museum of Africa's past, present, and future. I can't help but be entranced by its richness and depth.

What stands out most is the way Yoruba culture weaves together a complex fabric of language, spirituality, art, and community. The Yoruba language is like a dance, with its melodious flow and expressive words that seem to carry stories within each syllable. It's a language that can paint a picture with its very pronunciation.

Their spiritual beliefs are equally captivating. The Yoruba pantheon of gods, the Orisha, is a fascinating blend of mythology and reverence. The intricate rituals, divinations, and ceremonies that honor these deities are nothing short of mesmerizing. I admire the profound connection they maintain with their ancestors, believing that the spirits continue to guide and protect them.

Yoruba artistry is a realm of wonder. The Adire and Aso-oke textiles are not merely fabrics; they are works of art. Each pattern and motif tells a story, preserving their history and heritage in threads. The intricate beadwork, the stunning masks, and the sculptures are a testament to the incredible talent and creativity of the Yoruba people.

Music and dance are like the heartbeats of the Yoruba culture. The talking drums, the rhythms of Sango, and the energy of Ogun's dance, all come together to create a unique and exhilarating symphony. Their festivals, like the Eyo and Osun, are a spectacle of color and joy, a testament to the celebratory spirit that runs through their veins.

What's most striking is the strong sense of community and family in the Yoruba culture. I, from Edo, can't help but appreciate the way they embrace one another, the warmth in their interactions, and the strength of their bonds. They place great importance on names, known as "Oruko," and I admire how they cherish their ancestors and carry their legacies forward through generations.

It's worth noting that my love for Yoruba culture does not diminish my love for my own Edo heritage. Rather, it serves as a testament to the beauty of diversity in Nigeria. We are a tapestry of cultures, each offering something unique and beautiful. The Yoruba culture, in all its magnificence, adds vibrancy to the mosaic of our nation.

So, as someone from Edo with a deep admiration for the Yoruba culture, I can't help but celebrate their traditions and their profound impact on Nigeria and Africa as a whole. The Yoruba culture, with its language, spirituality, art, and sense of community, is a treasure that enriches us all.

From your piece up here, I am marveled. Your presentation speaks high volume of your intelligence. If you don't mind, I would like us to engage more on academic issues. I have sent you an email request in your NL page. Thanks.

How exactly did they get the businesses? Will it reach those poor market women who sell akara, garri, beans, rice, etc., the main people running the economy or some selected VIPs?

Sometimes when your business is registered, such funds are not always available for individuals. They are donated to investment funds which are later redistributed among banks like Bank of Agriculture, industry where people can apply for soft loans. So the first qualification would be business registration with CAC or other agencies. But I must confirm, these funds have helped a lot of people. Because the grassroots don’t have or don’t to attempt or ask about information, we don’t have them.

Some weeks ago a very successful woman wanted to jump into the lagoon cos of man. That is just one out of many who have gone beyond just thinking suicide to attempting it. This is another successful lady thinking about settling down. My point still remains that being successful will not make a woman forget or kill her need of a man. Am not talking about the perverts who claim feminist online but are craving for a man's touch. My advice is this guys look beyond social media groom yourself, work hard and be ready for the future. 7 women will still say let us bear your name we don't need your money.
