They migrated from the East and West at different periods of time
The way all these internet videos are framed you might think traditional folk religion is the most popular religion among Yoruba people, distantly followed by Christianity and then followed by Islam.
In actuality, Islam and Christianity are the most popular religions among Yoruba and are roughly evenly-practiced whereas only a small fraction practice Yoruba folk religion.
The old oral history matches the date of the first migrants to Nigeria from the East settling between 2000BC and 1000BC
Many of the female ancestors came from Mesopotamia, as they were Cush and Canaanite supporters of kinfolk Nimrod.
Many went West to Arabia but were driven out by Arabs.
They went to Nubia but it was too crowded with Egypt there so they went westward to Nigeria dropping colonies in Central Africa along the way.
Old oral history told to the Muslims around 1100AD to 1600AD
Just got my DNA results back and found out that I'm over 37% Yoruba!! I'm so excited!!
where the ppl at that made that story up about the hen the chain and seashell lol
I come from Yoruba tribe I would like to find out more about my people's
I am not Yoruba but my grandmother comes from the Fon tribe. Their language and culture is a mixture of Ewe and Yoruba.
Fairy Tale, with no dates. This has no bases.
You dishonesty conflated the history of Dahomey with that of the Yoruba.
A pity, because until that point, this was pleasantly accurate.
Obviously you didn't think you were creating a video for Yoruba audiences, and I had seen this video countless times, but my curiosity was peaked.
I have to hand it to you, you put a whole load of effort into misinformation.
The Yoruba were not intermediaries between other Yorubas and Hausas, selling people for slaves. Dahomey devastated the Yoruba population.
By the time Yorubas reluctantly joined the trade, millions of Yoruba had already been stolen across the Atlantic, lucrative profits was not a motivating factor, it was survival.
Yorubas are not "a tribe", the word is racist hold over from when Europeans believed Sub Saharan Africans were one ethnic group, consisting of fragmented "tribes". The word tribe is offensive. The Yoruba are an ethnic group, consisting of clans.
Proudly Yorùbá from Porto Novo, Bénin republic 🇧🇯.
One love🇳🇬🇧🇯🇬🇼 for all the Yoruba across west Africa and outside Africa…

This is awesome
Romans 9:4-5 (KJV) 4 Who are Israelites; to whom [pertaineth] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises; 5 Whose [are] the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ [came], who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
This is so false and wrong about the Yoruba people as there are no Gods in Yoruba land
Your stories about yoruba is not correct I'm yoruba from nigeria
Yorubas Are Not A Tribe. Yorubas Are One Of The Largest Ethnic Groups In Nigeria And Arguably The Most Educated Ethnic Group In Nigeria. Thanks For Sharing The Vedio Though.
I'm pretty sure they worked iron before copper and bronze.
European Narratives of activities. They will always find a way to paint new pictures that show them as good.
I think saying that palm oil "annoyingly" contributed to the slave trade is somewhat of an understatement.
The yorubas are very very funny they are yet to review the truth. Even in the bible no one as ever fall from heaven. Izoduwa was a banished Prince from Benin
It’s pronounced Yo-Ru-ba
Hm
That my paternal lineage
There’re so many misinformation especially about the creation and Oduduwa’s history.
