The Acoli nation is not located only in uganda but the other in other EA states such as South Sudan, Kenya and even Tanzania. Remember, it was the white supremacists rubbish that created uganda. The Acoli nation is a lot older than that colonial state.
This was fascinating. Especially since i have a cultural connection to this tribe and is where my grandmother from my fathers side descend from. one of my sister's even carries the name. the history is more deeper then this but I enjoyed and appreciated the presentation none the less.
Great video sir. Your information is always enlightening and empowering. Thanks for all you do. Please continue your journey. I always look forward to more of your work. Peace!
The main dance is known as the Larakaraka dance. You need alot of energy to dance it. And as most African dances have women dancing and men playing instruments. The acholi dance has mostly men dancing side by side to the girls though sticking the Calabash rythimically too. I just set a question for my students about the Acholi and luo migration from Bahel Ghazel in south Sudan to Uganda at pakwach (Pubungu) up to western Kenya and the great luo Bito dynasty formed along L. Kyoga with the great Bunyoro kingdom. And I'm now marking the students papers. So great to see the content on UA-cam. Thanks for the great work.
Acoli are Lwo/Luo people they have more that 26 distinct dances. The Luo set up the Buganda, Bunyoro kingdoms and other kingdoms in East Africa. They are nilo-shemites which means their original religion was ancient Judaism not the Jok or under spirt worship. They still know about the Creator in Heaven.
Would be helpful to give a phonetic pronunciation, wouldn't it?. After all, he apologised for any such error prior to this presentation. As Africans, some of us do hv atrocious pronunciations too. U can laugh it off but do correct too.
The Acholi (East Acholi-Agago, Pader, and Kitgum) are from Babylonia (Central-Southern Iraq). They associated with Karimojong (ancient Hebrew of southern Iraq-Ur). The East Acholi arrived in Salamini in South Sudan, and are descendants of Obbo of Obbo in Magwi. They crossed to Jie land of Losilang and are currently known as Lutino Agonga. Of Odongo Tongo of Patongo, etc
When you talked about our Dances I remember back in the days we would scoop the accolades right from the schools,District, Regional & national competitions ...there's something spiritual about our culture we left other Tribes wondering, the judges thought of striking a balance in the competitions by giving us 3rd or 4th place just to motivate the other contestants ...of course the cow people always got multiple favors from the judges 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for breaking down my Last Name “JOK” 🙏🏿😁👁 I have Acholi relatives but I’m Pure 🇸🇩 Half of Both Nuer/Dinka Tribes. Would love to see a video on my people 💪🏿
Thanks for your infors about my Lovely People, We Acholi belongs to the group called The Luo Nilotic and the nile Hamites. We originated from Egpyt Rift & the Nile Valley. In the Luo Nilotic group we have the Acholi, Alur, JoNam, Jopadola, Okumam, Mudama of Uganda & Acholii, Shiluk, Anywak, nyim, dima Luo, Bahri ...etc. of S. Sudan Jahluo of Kenya $ Tanzania and Alur Jonam🥰🇺🇬
Love your work, man. Have you thought about doing a vid on the Hima in Uganda? I struggle to get my head around them.... especially how they relate to the Hema in the DRC, and other groups nearby like the Kiga, Nyoro, Toro, Hororo, Nkore/Nkole and the Tutsi. Like, are they all one people, or are the tribes more like 'cousins'? Or do have they just had similar pre-colonial social structures (pastoral, clientalist, recent migrants). President Musaveni of Uganda is Hima, and the Hema have been very involved in the Ituri War in DRC. And obviously the Tutsi are the Tutsi. Again, love your work.
Apwooyo matek, a tye ka pwonyo leb pa acholi im from south sudan and uganda but i live in denmark we dont speak that much acholi at home but im still trying to learn more to talk to my autie
Home Team have you come across this channel Dayz of Noah it's a great channel to see the social engineering aspects of media and much more. I know you've addressed it. Do check his Playlist you'll find some interesting stuff.
Let me corrected you brother you left a lot of thing out. Acholi know our origin brother. Northern Luo Origin Luo South Sudan Acholi, Anyuak, Balanda Boor, Chollo/Shilluk, Luo/Jur Chol, Maban, Pari, Thurri/Shatt Dyiang Kulu (Cow of the river) gave Birth to Omara (some Luo oral history says that Dyiang Kulu was the wife of Omara) Omara was the father of Kolo, Kolo was the father of Wat Mol, Wat Mol begot Okwa. (Okwa was a King in tLuo cradle land) Lou elders say the cradle land is Rumbek, lakes state south Sudan Okwa went to visit an unknown river where he saw two beautiful women, Nykayo and Ongwak. Okwa sought to take them as wives, After paying a heavy bride price to their father, Dunyel. ( Oral history states that Okwa Had other wives beside Nyakayo and Ongwak) Okwa fathered Nyikang, Dimo, Gilo, Anyuak, Ju, Okil, Otin, Luo, and the only daughter Achol. Deidricks’s (1912) believed that Nyikang and Dimo were twins. After the death of Okwa dispute over who would succeed arose between Nyikang and Duwat(Dimo), because Duwat was chosen by the then Luo council as the successor to Okwa, this prompted Nyikang to leave the Luo cradle land with his followers. Some Luo oral history differs as they say The separation was due to dispute over (Bead and Spear). Duwat/Dimo is the Ancestor of Luo/Jurchol, Shatt/Thuri in Bahr el Ghazal. Nyikang is Founder of the Shilluk/Chollo in Malakal(Mabakal), Upper Nile. Maban are believed to have separated from the Shilluk/Chollo in Soba near Khartoum. Nyikang's son Bwor is the ancestor and the Founder of Balanda Boor. Nyikang younger Brother Gilo with Anyuak become the founders of the Anyuak tribe in Gambella, Ethiopia and Pochalla, South Sudan. Acholi are decents of Luo from the Anyuak area where due to war and clime they migrated into Eastern Equatoria magwi county South Sudan and into present day northern Uganda.
This is very fascinating to read, I am trying to learn more about Nilotic oral tradition and I haven't found much. Where would you say I should look for more info?
Make a video about the somali bantus. About the ethnic groups, history and countries of these slaves who were brought to Somalia. Ethnic Somalis still tread them shit.
My name is James otim achellam i don't know if this is a common name in Uganda all I know is that's where my dad is from. Could my dad be from the Acholi tribe?
yes, Otim means sombody born outside of their original land, Otim is the male version of Atim witch means the same thing, its very common acholi name so its highly possible this was your fathers tribe.
My mom is from friuli italy and urges me to learn African history bc she says Africa and old Asia are the ORGINS of true histroy before it's appropriation. Only Asia, Africa, and the America's aka negritos/mestizos barely practice old religion and it's something we must never let go or else our gov will take advantage of time.
The reason I didn't say the middle east bc there are Sunni , Shiite, Sikh just to name a few. And all sects like Christianity are obscure counterparts of the originial.
This is my tribe. From Uganda. Apwooyo matek omera for this wonderful video of our tribe and culture.
I a Luo but I understood your comments APWOOYO MATEK OMERA

Thank you for inspiring me to learn more about the very diverse tribes of modern/ancient Africa!
I'm from the Patiko side. Your info is very accurate.
Could you do a video on Carriacou, Grenada? That is where my family is from and it is rich in history!
Specifically our Big Drum Dance religion
Here's hoping again that we get a video like this on the Temne people!

Greetings from Ghana! Oooh how we've missed your videos!
I love these videos. They bring awareness to the many ethnic groups in Africa, and also give one the framework to do further study. Very interesting!
Your pronunciation of our words is crazy though.😂😂😂

I literally got here because I just saw one short on Acholi dance, it was so dope, I had to type Acholi in the search bar and learn more, lol

Make a video about the somali bantus. About the ethnic groups, history and countries of these slaves who were brought to Somalia. Ethnic Somalis still tread them shit.
Instead Don Diego, they should make a video about the defeat of the muslim Somalis that tried to invade central Ethiopia.

Acholi are in Both South Sudan and Northern Uganda 🇺🇬
I wonder if they have relation to Egyptians, Ethiopians or even Arabs since they come from the north
My mom is from friuli italy and urges me to learn African history bc she says Africa and old Asia are the ORGINS of true histroy before it's appropriation.

The reason I didn't say the middle east bc there are Sunni , Shiite, Sikh just to name a few. And all sects like Christianity are obscure counterparts of the originial.
I even heard middle eastern religions were infiltrated post crusades
Acholi, Dinka, Nuer and Nubian are not related to Arabs we fled North Africa to escape slavery and also Arabs invasions.
