  • In this video, i explain the history of the AKU or OKU people of Yoruba descent in Sierra Leone and Gambia. This group of people are said to be from Oyo Alaafin and Egbaland, known as Abeokuta in this modern day. I'm sure that other than the well-known Yoruba communities in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo, not many people are aware that there are active Yoruba cultures in the two West African nations of Sierra Leone and Gambia. Some of them are now financial ministers in Freetown and Gambia.

    Very nice to know the journey of our Yoruba cousins and their survival in the diaspora. I think we all will do well to connect with each other as best we can. Also think it's important to point out that those who had the biggest role in ending slavery and the slave trade were not british or american but our own Afrikan ancestors who fought them bravely even using our traditional rituals for protection in battle. A Yoruba brother wrote a book (among many other books) about misconceptions of the transatlantic slave trade and the fight against it. I recommend all Afrikans have this knowledge especially those who teach at the historical slave ports

      Very good comment family - I would like to point out, too, that the british/american didn't actually end slavery at all - they still have the Stolen Ones in their possession, haven't recompensed them, and still maintain very strong colonial bonds in so-called sub-Saharan Africa; primarily through the placement and maintenance of puppet governments and the military bases that preside over them. Even the end of slavery Proper in America was no kind of an act of mercy; the trade was threatening to tear the country apart due to slaves being much more profitable for one side of the country over the other. It had to take a new form otherwise the country would've been consumed by the internecine struggles of the ruling class of people

      That's the sad part about oral history, it's unfulfilling to cultural continuity. Yoruba ancestors missed the opportunity to write stuff down. Maybe they dropped the conjugative version "Alejo Nla", "Alejo pataki".

      They are already part of Sierra Leone root culture. In Nigerian, there are other Yoruba group that form other kingdoms and have become separate independent groups. (e.g Itsekiri, Edo, Delta and Kogi state) even in part of Northern Nigeria.
      The Yoruba shared myth of origin with the Kanuri. Oral tradition in Borno has it that the “Yoruba and Kanuri were cousins. According to one mythology, the Yoruba were said to be outspoken while the Kanuri were calm people who detested discussing their private affairs in public, particularly those issues concerning their sexuality. The Kanuri thus referred to the Yoruba as “Khairuba".
