I am Afro Brazilian from Salvador the first capital of Brasil and the most African culture of South America. I always felt proud of my ancestors because they managed to survive imaginable sufferings. Our Yoruba heritage is still present in our religion food and language. We at the diaspora are the survivors of the most mentally and fittest strong humans beings from Africa, and that pride I always carry with me wherever I go, head high and proud of my history. Axe ❤️🇧🇷
Thousands of Afro Brasilians returned to Lagos, Nigeria in the late 19th and early 20th century. They made up between 5-10% of the Lagos population at one point. I know one such family that actually has the family name Salvador. One thing I have noticed is that a lot of the returnees were muslim. The Yoruba word for muslim is "Imale" and the most famous slave uprising in Bahia is known as the "Imale" rebellion, which involved mainly Yoruba slaves. A lot of the formerly enslaved were encouraged to return to West Africa in the wake of the rebellion. In conjunction with this, massive immigration from Europe was encouraged in an attempt to engineer a more "favourable" ethnic profile for Brazil.
When I was going up in Lagos I knew a family they were Brazilians living in Lagos and they can speak Yoruba.I never thought about it till now I saw your comment.
@@deangelomartin30 now this is the stupidity we don't want to hear. What is all these nonsense with jews. We are africans, we are black and WE ARE NOT JEWS, neither fake nor real we are not jews. Being a jew doesn't make you to be important in the world. Jews are just normal sufferring people who have suffered all their history just like all cultures. It pains me seeing a black man claiming to be a free man but still clinging to foreign religions of their masters and the folklore he was taught as a slave, the christian/muslim folklore. You are black, you are african, yes, you had your ancestral religion and nowhere does it feature a jew, let alone it telling you a jew can be a chosen person of an african centric god. You can go ahead and claim you are the real chinese, the real japanese or you are the real french or arab. No, you just smell insecurity. You are black and if you feel you are jew, go to Israel that is where jews belong
The energy of such a horrific experience comes through the screen. Such a wicked minded people and system with perpetual physical, mental trauma. That brother touched my spirit to have returned and warmly welcomed home...powerful. My God!!!
@@misswogdaily2344 That wasn’t our people !, that’s why…. It was a difference between the African slaves and Africans that sold us into slavery…… it was two totally different nations with different lineage…. they didn’t sell their own people or own villagers…..Just do some research and critically think
As a descendant of the millions who were forcibly taken, thank you for this. Millions of us were scattered in North, Central, South America and the Caribbean. Thank you African Tigress! ❤️🙏
As an African American man I had the great fortune of visiting Gore Island in Senegal back in the late 90s and it was a very powerful and Emotional experience! I felt the energy of my ancestors in those dark rooms before they were forced to the America's into slavery. 😢 🏝️🌍
African Tigress, thank you for showing us where they kept slaves, before transporting them all over the world!!! It was very touching that's why I don't let those Mzungu's just tell me no anything because everything they said about Africa 🌍 is lies!!!
How can it not touch your Soul.....The very essence of your/our DNA. God's Grace, and Blessings be upon you, African Tigress, as you make your journey's goal. You are courageous!
This episode brought me to tears. My great- grandfather was born into slavery so I thought it was important to take my sons to the plantation where he and his family were kept as slaves. I believe it's important to tell the story to our children so that they will know how much work needs to be done to honor our ancestors. That was an emotional but necessary visit because it's important to pay homage to our ancestors who were held against their will in the brutal system of slavery. I know how much the visit to the slave castle affected this brother but it's important that we do this. This proves our resilience and strengthens our connections to them. Thank you African Tigress, you don't know how much this means to us as African Americans.
My mind and heart are not ready for additional trauma. I have visited slave forts in Ghana. The slavery we endured to today is just as traumatic. Even though it is difficult for me to watch today - - never let anyone forget, for we shall never endure this again, once we are free.
You will never be free without a fight, freedom is not giving but taken;why do you think Europeans are amassing their troops all over Africa? It's not fun,they know what is about to come, so, they're making their move as early as possible before the unification;slavery will continue that's a fact.
Thank you, African Tigress....I live in the US, and I'm coming home to the continent,....I'm crying, my heart is aching, this video right here moves me to my soul.
Indeed, death is better than enduring such treatment...everybody fight--men, women, and babies. Wives, and children must fight alongside the warriors, if necessary. It's much better than a life of horror. This is your most moving video in a long time, Tigress. Giving it to us like only you can. Asante sana, sana, sana, sana!
You are right every black man women and child should fight till the death. The number one thing we learned from Vietnam everyone was fighting and won most were only 5 feet tall been fighting before the Mongols and won against the so-called most powerful Nation USA with out jet bomers, tanks, cobras etc. LAST MAN STANDING
How can you fight against Jehovah he is the one who curse the Hebrew Israelites for rejecting him to serve other false gods which they're still doing like VooDoo a religion of the Darkness of Satan and the Fallen Angels which have sprraded all over the World 😂🌍😏🌍!!
@@maudeneyarber9997 Is god a bigot? You say he curse us for voodoo and other gods but he would allow children to be raped and women violated to appease his anger what kind of god is this! His own commandment were broken. God has many names and people serve him under those names. When are those who committed these acts going to get their punishment according to you there are not. I don't need or want that kind of bigoted god.
Blessings Sista , it still hurts just seeing this video. I can't imagine been in person .I am a peaceful QUEEN but seeing those europeans,I don't know the reaction.
What a lot of our African brothers and Sisters don’t understand is the pain that African Americans and those in the west went through. Our ancestors went through pain and their lives were sacrificed. The offspring still goes through pain. The door of no return should be used as a talking point to educate our African family of what their brothers went through in the west. I believe when you sell your brothers to the white man there is no way we as a people will prosper. It’s the worse thing a human can do to another human. Let us heal !!
Think about what those people in Africa felt for their loved ones that were taken away from them. Africans on the continent were the first victims. Not to downplay what your ancestors went through but Africans on the continent were also enslaved. Colonialism was just a cute name for slavery. Africans on the continent were rounded up(sometimes whole villages) and forced to work on plantations and in mines ; they were forced to build roads and railways etc. The difference is you were enslaved abroad while those who remained were enslaved at home.
Many fought against slave traders and many wept and waited for their loved ones to return. Let's not forget these facts. We are one people, one africa.
@@ab71640 very true , our brothers in the west think that the ancestors were just sold and everyone else in the continent was living happy ,free and didnt care about nothing , forgetting that those who were taken also had family that stayed in Africa , it wasnt untill like 50 years ago with this independence , Europeans were living their best life in Africa while the Africans worked for them to earn pennys , my grandparents lived that
Thank You..African Tigress so much for this episode!!!🙏✊👍💯💯💯💯💯..To show Us African Americans a small part of our History!! Please continue too show and educate us of who we're Really are!! May Allah continue to Bless you for what your doing!!..🤲🙏💯💯💯💯💯💯. Lord willing my family and I can meet in person Oneday soon!!! OneLuv..Fam..✊💯💯💯💯💯💯
As an empath, this is very difficult to watch but very necessary at this time. This is what our ancestors endured and why we need to learn to understand the true horrors. This is a good start for us to deal with their trauma then heal. We have been separated from our people for so long and it's time to UNITE and be as ONE. Thank you for this as it will help so many of our people who really need to see this
OMG thank you AT our Queen for showing me. My tears are still falling with lots of pains for our people who were mistreated some killed some used as slaves 😭😭. I was married to them and I left. They put smiles on their faces but black heart inside. They don't care about us.
Peace and love,I just was there dakar Senegal 🇸🇳, to continue with your slave trade understanding, please go to the dungeons at cape coast and elmina castles,in ghana.
I had the same emotional experience. During the tour I was totally fine but when I stood at the door of no return....something came over me like I never felt before and I began to cry uncontrollably. It was an emotional yet spiritual feeling I can't really explain. I wish ALL African Americans could visit Goree Island.
Our fathers suffered so much for us to live in luxury. Our country Botswana's first president was forced to marry a British so we can gain independence. We were under British protectorate and our country was so poor to God be glory we are dragging ourselves out of poverty. Never again, we will never allow ourselves to be colonised
@flacko Medina I had Paul Kagame pretentiously apologizing from what he said about France involvement in Rwandan genocide,I weep for Africa no strong leader to unite the continent as Gaddafi did.
@flacko Medina Yes its part of the grand plan that's why US secretary of State Anthony Blinken congratulate Ghanian military for destroying Chinese mining equipment in Ghana,Africa will lost if China are rooted out,Europe vow Africa will never be allow to develop and keep them poor at all course.
@@watchingthehawks355 , I've been saying for years that Kagame is NOT to be trusted...and remember, Kagame is the main voice behind the African Free Trade Agreement....It "sounds" like a positive for Africa but the reality is 'millions" will lose employment and a very few will become ultra wealthy via the assistance of corrupt politicians. All Africa has to do is look at NAFTA in the U.S. as a example of how relocating manufacturing jobs to "cheaper" locations affected millions of people.
thank you for sharing this powerful episode...we will never let this happen again! We are strong African people! African Tigress the content you are producing is just amazing! Many blessings to you 💚💛❤️
Great job. Great editing. Great Sound effect. Great lighting. Thanks for bringing our history alive and thanks to all African youtubers for the part they are playing in African revival. Your names will be written in gold in African sand of time.
Very emotional I know I'm going to cry like a school girl when I visit one of these slave dungeons thinking about all that my people have been through from the African coast to America and beyond. The world doesn't know even half of what Black Americans have been through in America. This was very moving
@@jeswazwadi7049 No but because they fought and never gave up and that is why they were able to mantain all their traditions (Spirituality,Cultures,ways of life) in South America places like Brazil, Cuba, the Caribbeans etc.
@@yoobon5670 I think most of the enslaved men were strong that's why they were captured and shipped in the first place but i agree Nigerians generally love to keep their culture even when they marry a foreigner they will teach their culture to the foreigner & yes I think there is a place in Brazil where they are learning Yoruba
I remember the first time I heard a Goree Island guide mention that the enslaved Yoruba were in so much demand. It really shook me because Goree island is a long way from the Yoruba region. I just wasn't expecting to hear about the Yoruba this far to the west. It raised so many questions. I'd have thought most enslaved Yoruba would have been shipped from Badagry or Porto Novo. I wondered if they were marched over land, it just seemed too far. I believe instead that the slave ships went from port to port along the coast picking up the enslaved and that Goree was possibly a final stop before setting off for the Americas. The peak in the trafficking of enslaved Yoruba would have occurred in the late 18th and most of the 19th century when the Yoruba region was in complete turmoil in the wake of the collapse of the Oyo empire and Owu kingdom. Most of the enslaved would have been soldiers and prisoners of war at this time, which I guess is why they were seen as strong and sought after. Many went on to become involved in uprisings in Brasil (Imale rebellion) and Cuba(Aponte rebellion, Prieto, and Carlota la negra - Cuban national heroine) many also ended up being enlisted into the Spanish army rising up the ranks and fighting in places like Florida. Of course I learnt none of this in school!
The footprint of slavery reminds us of the evil other Race have inflicted upon the people of African descent. If these historical places ( slave dungeons) located all over Africa could speak, their horrible stories would be too much to bear. All those Western nations that exploited Mother Africa of her beautiful children, that took part in the brutal Atlantic Slave Trade, and those Arab & Portuguese nations that took part in The Slave Trade along East Africa Indian Ocean owe some form of reparations to the descendants of Blacks who ancestors were taken from Africa against their will. What a powerful and painful journey to witness. However painful, African Tigress has done a fantastic job....showing THC emotionally reuniting with the spirits of his ancestors. Wow!
The only salvation to the slaves was death, in humane conditions and treatment, whipping, and grueling diseases was all the slaves had to endure for sure black people of African origin have gone through alot colonization, racism today is what Africans have faced but what we have as Africa is resilience that keeps us going
Revelation 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
My heart is so HEAVY after watching this! After leaving out and pointed the camera to the waters, chills came up from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head! Water has always been, in my mind, a sense our tranquil, solitude, beautiful to say the least... but somehow these waters you gave a glimpse of seemed dark, vicious, and purposely holding secrets! In that moment it was nothing beautiful about those waters simply because of the bodies I know that were swallowed by it... only for this, those waters were an ugly sight! May these souls rest in peace although, most of them are not!

Most focus on the emotional start of slavery...but few look at places like Liberia....where many freed blacks slaves were returned, but these freed blacks (called the Wig Party) were no longer african, and they saw africans as lessor people and the freed blacks treated the africans HORRIBLE....this lead to +10 years of WAR in Liberia ..... Many black americans refuse to listen to this and it is not taught in schools, and it is an extremely important part of history.....as is your story here...... if you study the history of Liberia you will be shocked
I am sick and over her crying at how they treated my ancestors. I live in AmeriKKKA and they are still racist as crap over here. This just hurt my heart and made me mad at the same time.

I remember the first time I heard a Goree Island guide mention that the enslaved Yoruba were in so much demand. It really shook me because Goree island is a long way from the Yoruba region. I just wasn't expecting to hear about the Yoruba this far to the west.
It raised so many questions. I'd have thought most enslaved Yoruba would have been shipped from Badagry or Porto Novo. I wondered if they were marched over land, it just seemed too far. I believe instead that the slave ships went from port to port along the coast picking up the enslaved and that Goree was possibly a final stop before setting off for the Americas. The peak in the trafficking of enslaved Yoruba would have occurred in the late 18th and most of the 19th century when the Yoruba region was in complete turmoil in the wake of the collapse of the Oyo empire and Owu kingdom. Most of the enslaved would have been soldiers and prisoners of war at this time, which I guess is why they were seen as strong and sought after. Many went on to become involved in uprisings in Brasil (Imale rebellion) and Cuba(Aponte rebellion, Prieto, and Carlota la negra - Cuban national heroine) many also ended up being enlisted into the Spanish army rising up the ranks and fighting in places like Florida. Of course I learnt none of this in school!
Thank you for your comment 🙂❤️🖤💚

You are the best creator in Africa
Thank you ❤️
Thank you for this educational video. Sad indeed.
You're welcome
Thank you so much for sharing this.
This is OUR Holocaust. We must show this to the world! NEVER FORGET! NEVER AGAIN!
This was way worse than the holocaust…WAY WORST…
It's on Goree Island. You catch a 30 minute ferry ride to get there.
You are the BEST, African Tigress🔥♥️✊👏
Thank you 🤗
"Enslaved" dungeon, or simply dungeon!Afrika had no slaves; kidnapped and captured Afrikans were taken from Afrika and "enslaved!" Asante sana.
Thank you! Tired of people belittling our ancestors to just slaves they were peoples first
Africa had many slaves long before any other people came to Africa.
@@moustm4698 No slavery was rampant for 1000 years before the Europeans came. It is the way still, look at Libya and Mauritania.
Very touching
o my tears i fill so sad wow hurt wow but we are strong
Extremely 💔💔💔😪 but so real and educational
Great video Queen✌💯🙏
Love you and Brother THC🙏❤
Just excellent video
Thank you 🤗
Painful and heartbreaking 💔💔💔
The footprint of slavery reminds us of the evil other Race have inflicted upon the people of African descent. If these historical places ( slave dungeons) located all over Africa could speak, their horrible stories would be too much to bear.
All those Western nations that exploited Mother Africa of her beautiful children, that took part in the brutal Atlantic Slave Trade, and those Arab & Portuguese nations that took part in The Slave Trade along East Africa Indian Ocean owe some form of reparations to the descendants of Blacks who ancestors were taken from Africa against their will.
What a powerful and painful journey to witness. However painful, African Tigress has done a fantastic job....showing THC emotionally reuniting with the spirits of his ancestors. Wow!
Wow the pain endured by them is overwhelming..the M.H. said vengeance is mines...yes I'm crying 😭
The Door of No RETURN.....it really has a story
whaaat ?????....this was serious , those white were heartless walai .....so painful
So heart breaking.
It was really Yoruba and Igbos that was taken the most from the west coast that they say was very strong ,according to the history archives !
this is very sad to look at
The only salvation to the slaves was death, in humane conditions and treatment, whipping, and grueling diseases was all the slaves had to endure for sure black people of African origin have gone through alot colonization, racism today is what Africans have faced but what we have as Africa is resilience that keeps us going
Revelation 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
My heart is so HEAVY after watching this! After leaving out and pointed the camera to the waters, chills came up from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head! Water has always been, in my mind, a sense our tranquil, solitude, beautiful to say the least... but somehow these waters you gave a glimpse of seemed dark, vicious, and purposely holding secrets! In that moment it was nothing beautiful about those waters simply because of the bodies I know that were swallowed by it... only for this, those waters were an ugly sight! May these souls rest in peace although, most of them are not!

That was painful to watch.
Great job
Everytime i cry it gets worse guestion i want to ask when i return .
My grandmother passed down the same story of pregnant women preparing the ground for her beating by digging a hole to place her belly in. Smh
How can a human being with a bible in his hands commit these atrocities to another human being?
Religion was introduced to enslave the AFRICANS mentally
Having a Bible in your hands does not translate to it being g in your heart.
Because it wasn’t their Bible, it never was for them, it never was written for them…. That’s not their book….
See that’s the great mystery…. The Bible’s not for them, Neither was it for the whole continent of everyone living in Africa…. Only a specific people.
So sad and painful 😣
Painful 😞
🥺🥺🥺🥺
Most focus on the emotional start of slavery...but few look at places like Liberia....where many freed blacks slaves were returned, but these freed blacks (called the Wig Party) were no longer african, and they saw africans as lessor people and the freed blacks treated the africans HORRIBLE....this lead to +10 years of WAR in Liberia ..... Many black americans refuse to listen to this and it is not taught in schools, and it is an extremely important part of history.....as is your story here...... if you study the history of Liberia you will be shocked
Ooh noo, 😭🙏🙏🙏
Very disheartening to watch. Great video tigress.
I am sick and over her crying at how they treated my ancestors. I live in AmeriKKKA and they are still racist as crap over here. This just hurt my heart and made me mad at the same time.
You will return as well...when it's time
@@lucyawili6698 my heart yearns for mother Africa
@@mendingvanessaj5075 karibu...when the time comes
@@lucyawili6698 Asante Sana
You are always welcome home sis.Africa is your home.
