  1. I love this video I was waiting for these to come up without knowing is already up 😊

    Yoruba is not from house of Israel but about 20% of them come from house of Israel (Heebo)

    Bring down your pride and follow the road and not allow ego to becloud you, these is a sacred one and who speaks of these must come with purest heart 💜 to see directions

  2. Great video lesson!

    Unfortunately some of the decisive comments here are one of the reasons our tribes were scattered. We can’t follow Yahweh’s laws and can’t get along with each other because of our stubbornness and pride as individual groups…, instead of one nation.

    Eventually, Yah will fix this because collectively, we don’t have the hearts or capacity to do so.

    All Praise to the Most High Yah!

  3. What does the Yoruba Elders, Leaders and Royal fathers says about their Origin. This is what we call in Africa Oral History and it is the most powerful tool we have as Africans in knowing our progenitors.
    Pls Yorubas are Canaanites and it has been confirmed by their Leaders and Elders. These are what their historians said that they Originated in Mecca and from these men; Lamurudu, Ooduduwa, Oranmiyan, Lajamisan, Obatala.
    The Diasporas should not attached themselves to Maps and Ephraim because the Benin in Nigeria says that they are the real Bnai Ephraim.
    The culture of the Yoruba is not related to the Torah. They have the IFA and that itself should explain who they are. They are proud of their Identity.

  4. Understanding Yoruba ancient history authentically requires an appreciation of IFA, a knowledge predating the Bible by millennia. IFA serves as a comprehensive repository of their existence, making the Bible merely a chapter in that extensive library. Relying solely on the Bible fails to capture the depth and essence of the Yoruba people's identity. ✌️

  5. I am Yoruba and I have dedicated the last 2-3 years of my life in studying my history as a Yoruba man and one thing I can confidently say is that we are not Israelites, there is no African tribe that goes by English name as their tribe name, we are simply pre-Israel habitant; we lived in this region before the Arab and Roman invasion that came with Arab and Israel identity into this region.

  6. Nice interesting video.
    Though are Yoruba Arabs and not israelites or hebrews but instead are Arabs from Mecca. Ancient Arabs are dark skin men. Y'arab, Ya-aruba, Ya'rub, Yaruba, and Yoruba. All are root words. What do you have to day for this? As well as Oduduwa being heavily known as an Arabian?

  7. South Central LA, indeed – Slauson & Figueroa in the house! Shalom beloved bro – hope to catch the rest of this 2 hr show this week before sundown Friday – Lord willing. There's so much Yoruba history hidden, and much to learn. We should always keep in mind, however, the following:
    "For with stammering lips and a strange tongue, will He speak to His people" – as it is written in Isaiah the 28th chapter

  8. Did Yorubas originate from Ancient Egypt?
    According to Samuel Johnson's book "The History of the Yorubas from the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the British Protectorate" published in 1921, there is strong evidence to suggest that the Yorubas originated from the East. Their habits, manners, customs, and other cultural aspects all support this theory.

    Furthermore, Johnson ;a renowned historian argues that the Yorubas emigrated from Upper Egypt to Ife, which is supported by the existence of sculptures known as the "Ife Marbles." These sculptures, attributed to the early ancestors of the Yoruba people, exhibit Egyptian characteristics and can still be observed in Ife.

    In addition to cultural and archaeological evidence, linguistic similarities between the Yoruba and ancient Egyptian languages also provide support for a connection between the two peoples. According to Ferdinand de Saussure, linguistic evidence is a reliable indicator of cultural contact between different groups. The Yoruboid (Yoruba) people, as claimed by Saussure in his book "The General History of Africa" (1972), were one of the largest inhabitants of Egypt. By examining the ancient Egyptian language and comparing it to Yoruba, more than 500 vocabularies can be deduced, excluding Greco-Roman and Arab influences.
    Over 1,000 ancient Egyptian words are found in Yoruba language and are still in use today. Ancient Yorubas people are the ancestors of ancient Egyptians.
    Here are a few examples of linguistic similarities between ancient Egyptian words and their corresponding Yoruba counterparts:

    Wu (Rise) – Wu (Rise)
    Ere (Python) – Ere (Python)
    Horise (a great god) – Orise (a great god)
    Ged (to chant) – Igede/Ogede (chant)
    Sueq (a fool) – Suegbe (a fool)
    Ta (sell) – Ta (sell or offer)
    Enru (fear) – Eru (fear)
    Kun or gun (brave) – Ekun (brave)
    Ma or mi (to breathe) – Mi (to breathe)

    Khu (to kill) – Ku (die)
    Hika (evil) – Ika (evil)
    Edjo (cobra) – Ejo (snakes)
    Horiwo (head) – Oriwo (head)
    AK (male) – Ako (male)
    Mu (water) – Mu (drink water)
    Do (river) – Odo (river)
    Aru (mouth) – Arun (mouth) (Ilaje dialect)
    Ash (invocation) – Ase (invocation)
    Po (many) – Po (many/cheap)
    Budo (dwelling place) – Bu do (dwelling place)

    These linguistic resemblances further support the notion that Yoruba words bear similarities to ancient Egyptian words and provide further support for the historical and cultural connections between the Yoruba people and ancient Egypt.

    Scholars have also noted that certain Yoruba subgroups from the eastern region, such as the Itsekiri, Ilaje, Ijebu, and Onoara, exhibit a closer linguistic connection to Egypt than the groups from Oyo or Ife. These eastern blocs can be seen as phonetic variations of the more fluid Yoruba language spoken in Oyo.

    For instance, Bolaji Idowu suggests that the word "Oritese" originated from the Itsekiri-Owo axis within the eastern Yoruba kingdom. This word "Oritese" closely resembles the Egyptian term "Horise," both of which referred to significant water deities before evolving into celestial or heavenly divinities. Furthermore, both words share the same etymological origins, as "Hori" or "Ori" means "head" in both Yoruba and Egyptian cultures.

    The abundance of these linguistic similarities cannot be dismissed as mere coincidence, indicating a historical connection between the Yoruba and Egyptians.

    Exploring Artistic Legacies: A Comparative Study of Yoruba and Ancient Egyptian Creativity

    The Yoruba people are renowned for their rich artistic heritage, which encompasses various forms of visual and performing arts. Their artistic creativity is deeply rooted in their cultural and spiritual beliefs, serving as a means of expression, communication, and preservation of their history and traditions. When comparing the artistic standards of the Yoruba with ancient Egypt, both civilizations demonstrate remarkable achievements in the field of art.

    One notable aspect of Yoruba artistic creativity is their mastery of sculpting and carving. The Yoruba are renowned for their intricate woodcarvings, stone sculptures, and bronze castings. These artworks often depict human figures, deities, and mythical creatures, displaying a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Yoruba sculptures are characterized by their realistic and expressive features, capturing the essence of the subject matter.

    Similarly, ancient Egypt holds a significant place in the history of art, particularly for its monumental sculptures and elaborate tomb paintings. Egyptian art emphasized formalism and idealized representations, often portraying pharaohs, gods, and goddesses. The sculptures, such as the iconic Great Sphinx and colossal statues of pharaohs, exemplify the Egyptians' skill in stone carving and their ability to create grand and awe-inspiring artworks.

    In terms of artistic standards, both the Yoruba and ancient Egyptians demonstrate a high level of technical expertise and a sophisticated understanding of aesthetics. Both civilizations valued the representation of the human form, striving for accuracy and symbolism in their artistic creations. Moreover, both cultures employed art as a means of expressing religious beliefs, with sculptures and paintings serving as conduits for spiritual worship and storytelling.

    While there are similarities in artistic standards, it is important to note some distinctive characteristics of Yoruba art. The Yoruba place great importance on the spiritual and ritual significance of their artworks. Sculptures and masks are often used in religious ceremonies and festivals to connect with deities and ancestors. Additionally, Yoruba art is renowned for its use of vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and symbolism, which reflect the cosmology and mythology of the Yoruba worldview.

    On the other hand, ancient Egyptian art, while also imbued with religious symbolism, was more focused on permanence and the afterlife. Egyptian tomb paintings, hieroglyphic inscriptions, and elaborate burial rituals served to ensure the deceased's journey to the afterlife and eternal preservation.

    Indeed, the artistic creativity of the Yoruba people is notable for its diverse forms, technical mastery, and spiritual significance. When compared to the artistic standards of ancient Egypt, both civilizations display exceptional achievements in art, particularly in sculpture and representation of the human form. While sharing similarities in technical skill and religious symbolism, the Yoruba art stands out with its emphasis on vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and cultural significance. The artistic heritage of both the Yoruba and ancient Egyptians continues to captivate and inspire people around the world, showcasing the enduring power of human creativity.

  9. We Muslims don’t worship any stone or creation of Allah. We only worship the creator Allah. There is no mistake in The Quran but there is many mistakes in the Bible that the Quran mentions correctly such as the position in society of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph). The Quran mentions he was a king and the Bible mentions he was a pharaoh. The Quran is correct and more recently the Rosetta Stone was decoded and what was found is that Yusuf was a king and not a pharaoh. Islam is The true religion with undeniable proof and evidence. We Muslims believe in Jesus but not as God and we don’t believe God has a son. Jesus peace be upon him is a prophet and Messenger Of Allah (God) and he is the messiah. He wasn’t killed as Allah saved him before they could get to him. There is also scientific and historical miracles mentioned in the Quran such as the formation of the human embryo as well as the creation of honey in bees. There are Islamic prophecies that came true and will come true and I recommend everyone to try and learn about them. I myself know of people who were ill and suffering with issues (including black magic) and got cured miraculously when the Quran was recited over them. I invite everyone to learn about Islam.

  10. Ibo practice killing of twins since the begining , if Ibo are israelite, how did Yakob survive the killing of twins, when did the killing stop?, when the white people came. "Mary Slecor" stop the killing of twin in ibo land

  11. name of Jacob rather Yakob in Yoruba "oYa- ako-bi" one that over take birth right or Oran-mi-yan, Moses "O-Mi-Se-re" water brought good … where was moses found? .. Abram .. "Abi – Are- Omo" a chiefly child. Ibo people are matriachy and Israelite are Patriachy

  12. Yorubas are NOT Hebrews.
    Linking yourself with Hebrews in any manner is delusional. It will not change the way others see you or your children.
    If you want to claim Hebrew ancestry, go ahead but don't drag Yorubas into it. We are pleased with what we are. We have no links whatsoever with Hebrews or any race in the Middle East.

  13. Hello I just found out that I’m Yoruba also, I’m from Haiti, and my ancestors name were Adefakon adike agouda these were my ancestors taken to Haiti, and according to this names they told me they where Yoruba. My mom was the first born of 13 and she told me when she was born my grand dad hid her under the Ben for 8 days. Do you know anything about that . And can you confirm the names please thank you.

  14. there's a part in this video at the 54 minute mark where he says his family name used to be Berkeley or Berkley, or can you get the spelling no that?

  15. Another ex. is the name given to mother which in their language Iya. So what is the meaning of Iya? It's mean One who give Life. I=One, Yah=God=LIFE. So they understand that Yah is the giver of Life. Their language portrait where they are from.

  16. They the Yoruba codified their Hebrew history many things like: Names given to their children with 98% have some things to do with Oluwa i.e God. cultures and traditions. Even the materials used in their metal cast is said to come from middle East.

  17. My mother was born in Mississippi she will be 90 and her name is hebrew she was name by my grandmother's sister Aunt Nilah named my mother VirdYah which means, Rose of YAH.
    Some Israelites don't know what the Hebrew names they have been given or that they was named means.

  18. Yes, great lesson. We (Yoruba’s) are definitely Israelites… We are a combination of all the tribes! The Northern Kingdom that migrated via Syria, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and settled in present day Nigeria in Ile IFe… But mostly Ephraim…
    Our culture, traditions and even language give this away…

    Some example with linguistic:

    Baba = Abba
    Oluwa = Aluah (ancient Hebrew language, where Halle-lu-Yah was derived)
    So many similarities… you can also find names like Abija in the. Bible

  19. Really nice of you to share this ahk Elder Kabeer. Also, I know even though I was born in Chicago Illinois when my son was born premature I was at home recuperating from cesarian and my sons doctor called me and asked if I wanted him circumcised on the 8 day and I prayed and said yes. And now I know why YAH lead me to do it.
    Also, twins runs in our nation and we don't have to do anything to make it happen.

  20. Could you please stop this propaganda, the yorubas are not slaves. We are not cursed but blessed. If you want to know more about we the yorubas, contact me I will tell you more about us, we are Ephraim of Israel not Juda. We are from kush in the then old Egyptian Empire.

  21. I am Yoruba. Most of you do not know that Yorubas have a very deep and extensive and well structured oral records locked into the IFA Corpus. If written, it will probably be over 100x the size of the bible and is memorized from one generation to another by IFA priests. It takes 14 years to be a priests to even memorize a small fraction of the verses. My point is that without the bible, Yorubas who have not fall for the deception of chistianity and Islam, and who are familiar with IFA verses will be conscious of their identity. But will not see themselves as Israelite because thats a madeup name they cannot connect to. We Yorubas always say these in Yoruba language. "Omo Alade ni wa" . Awa la akokobi Olodumare". Which translate as "we are children of royals and tbe first born of the Supreme Creator". We didn't get that understanding from the bible. Even what we call ourselves as humans in Yoruba, "Eniyan", if translated to English mean "the Chosen One". But those who have fall for religious deception are disconnected from these understanding. Its mostly those who understand or stick with indigenous traditions that understand all these.

  22. thank you, for waking up those who are sleeping, I have woken up and I'm glad we have you to spit the truth. My heritage is from the Caribbean, they like to party too. We where dispersed across the Caribbean so a lot of what you said connects.

  23. Fascinating video. Love seeing the cultural markers that point back to Yah's faithfulness. Amazing to see His people, scattered to the four corners being gathered from the four corners!
