Well I'm Igbo and often when people ask where I'm from and I say Nigeria, they go, "really? You look more Jamaican".
In my head I'm like, "No shit Sherlock where do you think Jamaicans descend from!??" 🙄
Lol ppl
Yeah bro!, if you want I will take you to Igbo land, we are great people.
k2datrack i am from jamaica
k2datrack Sp many people have told me I look Jamaican or Haitian🤦🏾♀️😭😭
U should see how the island ppl treat African Americans, they act like we aren't even Africans.. They compare our looks and our ways to the max!! While other nationalities watch and laugh in public!!
I’m Yoruba born and raised in Lagos. Majored international relations & history And I can say for a fact that you did your research. Thanks for being a beacon of light to those trying to make their way back to their source. Peace and blessings brother
But the Yoruba and the Igbo were the largest ethnic groups carted away in the transatlantic slave trade.

@@abiolaboldnessayoola2336 The Yoruba put more black slaves into captivity than the English.
White people also was slave in barbary slave trade and arabs enslaved White and blacks in arab slave trade

I am Angolan and proudly Mbundu(mother) and Bakongo(Father) and married to a very intelligent, beautiful strong Bakongo women with Ethiopian mixture (from her father side), I will keep pointing more people in my region to you channel as it is simply amazing and inspiring, not to mention a great source of knowledge and knowledge is the true freedom.
Interesting history concerning the African slave trade. I was aware of it, but didn’t realize there were so many African tribes which were taken as captives/slaves. Thank you for this video, this is history that needs to be remembered.
It’s because Africa (West Africa especially) was actually separated by tribes. The Europeans grouped a lot of them together and called them Nigeria, Ghana etc.
I thought they were complicit in the selling of slaves, Thomas Sowell.
@robertg9052 the vast majority were not complicit.
You have used the right phrase of words taken from Africa because we were indeed taken and stolen from Africa and branded and just so many things and you use the right

“A product of survival” underrated quote
@bradfordtechno1
That's exactly what I think. EVERY Black child descended from Africans caught up in the Transatlantic slave trade should be taught how strong and exceptional their bodies and minds are, as well as how deep their survival drive is. We're still here. We are the direct descendants of those strong enough and willed enough to live through that horrible journey. Millions died. We didn't.

Very well done young man! Just awesome! Thank you! Keep up the great work you are doing for us.
This was incredibly interesting and informative. Thank you so much.
I'm from the Congo "bakongo" few years ago my grandfather told us of his uncle and his uncles friend who traveled to do business in the neighboring town and never came back. They asked everyone in that neighboring town but they all said that they left few days ago, slave trade was very common during those times so the whole family feared that they've been taken. They never stopped searching for them and up until now my grandfather who's in his early 90s still asks us his grandkids to continue spreading this message hoping that one day he'll hear some good news.
Before you grand daddy transitions, you need to talk to him as much as possible and record his words. Once he is gone, the knowledge is gone. Then you have to pass it on to your generations. The BaKongo was a major population in AA culture.

Well sweetie this is the age of social media. Start a CZcams channel and/or a social media page with their pictures and tell their story for them. Have people to share the information and send out prayers. Sharing your story could help bring them home. My prayers go out for them and your families. I wish you all the best!! Prayers from A.D.O.S in the U.S.
Take an African Ancentry test. Tell them your story. They may be able to help get him all the way home with the help of tv. I am sending you all love and positive energy as he finds his way home. 💗💫✊🏾🌬
I've been telling people this for years. Its simple logic. Abyssinians travelled across the continent, tribes were in disagreement etc so not all slaves that were captured originate from West Africa, it's just simple logic. I love when other people mention this. There's alot more that went on.
I can related to your story. I am from the Kongo, Luba-Katanga(we all come from Kongo Kingdom). My mom told me a story that her grandfather had a brother that went on business in a neighboring village and never returned. He said he knew he was sold as slave, till the day he transitioned he was grieving his brother.
My great grandfather and mother used to record our history, think those audio tapes are with one of my uncles.
My name is Babatunde Omokoku .
My Dad is Nigerian 🇳🇬 from Yoruba Tribe .
My Mom is Trini 🇹🇹 .
Babatunde, I am Debola, a Yoruba man like you. Bawo ni? E Ku Ogun Odun
Your name Babatunde means, your ancestor lives in you and you are given birth to reincarnate one of your paternal ancestors. Omokoku means this child will not die.
You have a rich name and I'm proud of your dad for so naming you. Us Yorubas attach 1000% importance to names and we never joke with it.
All my 3 lovely children have rich Yoruba names, given both by myself, after 8 days of deep reflection and also from my parents too....they have English names, but will never identify with them...those holds absolutely no meaning to me or them. Ensure you learn more about your root...the Yorubas are a special breed of people and most likely the first men in creation. One love brother.

he did no research, everything he said is full of flaws and lies. he speaks like a European. he actually is calling negros stupid and beast akin to cattle. think about what he said about the aro. he lied and said the aro sold the Igbo. if he did research he would know the aro are Igbo. the aro are the priest of the Igbo. 2nd the aro just like igbo didn't have weapons. so what he is saying doesn't make sense. the aro walked up to a large tribe of their own people and said today I have sold 400 of you and noone did anything, a father let his son just go into slavery and the people sold just followed Europeans as cattle would. does this make sense to you. use your brain when you do research and listen for the lies. noone own people sold them, it was not a slave trade but a slave raid mostly carried out by mohamedans and tribes to the north like the ashanti. a raid capture march to prison(you know them as slave castles) seasoned, primed. then shipped to the colonies in the Americas. have you ever read a slave for sale sign. this is john. he is good with horses. this is mary she is a good cook. how did Europeans know what slaves could do if they just captured them or bought them and shipped them here. the prisons were for training negros what they would be doing when they got here. but don't pay any attention to what I say I have no college degree and im an old drunk who don't know anything

@Y.H.A A yes, and it's doubly a universal law when certain people groups oppress so many other people groups. For example, the U.S. has a history of oppressing Native Americans, Asians, Blacks, and it dropped the bomb on Japan (Hiroshima), stole California from the Mexicans (paid a cheap price for it); don't think these people groups will not turn on the caucasoids when the time is right.

I am a naturalized Canadian originally from Nigeria. When I first moved to Canada there were not to many blacks in the province where I leaved. I could be in a store and be the only black person there. I remember visiting the US almost 10 years after I’d been living in Canada and seeing black people in Detroit. You should have seen me beaming from ear to ear. Just happy to see them. Some were probably freaked out at me. I felt like screaming ‘THESE ARE MY PEOPLE.’
If you're black nobody from Detroit was freaked out by your presence. Black people are use to seeing other black people in a city like Detroit. Canada is not America and I believe the black population there is no more than 2 to 3 percent. and Though America has never been more than 13 percent black,. Detroit is a city that has a high concentration of black folks. So it would seem like there are more than a 12 to 13 percentage of blacks there and that we all live in Detroit, MI in the States, which isn't true. Where you land does have an impact on your perception.
@@massagemodality366 I think they meant that they freaked people out by smiling randomly, not being black

@B45 respectfully, you may wanna rethink this one. When you live in a place where people gawk at you for how different you are everyday, to see a familiar face who's different like you is more comforting than you could ever know. It's not like OP is saying they were incapable of feeling love and empathy for all people, but that it was a relief to no longer be a spectacle among other people. To feel normal in any aspect is a blessing that isn't understood until you lose it.

Thanks my brother. I am a Nigeria of the Igbo tribe and a History Buff. This is an outstanding narrative. The only suggestions are ...... Dahomey, Benin, Mali, Songhai, and Yoruba Empires where great participants in the Slavery Trade hence ought to be on top 3. The Long Juju Of Aro Chukwu, the Igbo tribe, surfaced at the tail end of the trade hence short lived. The Fulanis had limited access to the Atlantic Ocean thus their Slave trading activities were mainly with the Arabs via the Sahara Deserts. A Great summary of a Research work. A+

@Osas👌 The Ancestors did what they did. I believe I know why... Don't get upset. We need to stay strong for the Battle of the Boston Tea party 🎉. File for Reparations 🔥
@Osas👌 Since the Queen died. More countries are calling for Independence and Artifact's returned to countries. Diamonds that were stolen. King of Belgium has returned the stolen Masks back to Congo. Removed King Leopold statue's from the towns. President of South Africa is ready to battle for his country. We all must take a stand. Regardless of tribes, language culture and traditions. 🌑⚫🤎🖤. ✊
This is the first time I learned about the details of slave trade . Good job and informative.
Thank you for your share, blessings.

Great video! I’m from Angola 🇦🇴, I’m both Ambundu (Mbundu) & BaKongo (Mukongo)... I lived in the USA 🇺🇸 for about 23 years and I’m now back in Luanda (since 2008). I’ve been saying this for many years, but people wouldn’t believe me... It’s true, Ambundu & BaKongo is everywhere in Brazil and USA. True and also very sad.
inovArtesMediaLda inovArtes They didnt believe that they were from the Bakongo? That is weird. That is a generational self hate. You are lucky to come from a country full of black people because you were allowed to preserve your culture whites in America seek to diminiah in culture from black Americans or make a profit from it.
Yaa Moremi Queen yeah but can't put all the blame on them though being a minority can be hard if you're not strong you will lose your identity. That is one of the reason that it's in the benefit of every black people not born in Africa to go visit the continent to help strengthen their identities
I am in also from Angola living in Angola, can we meet up to discuss some of this history?
Sure no problem... Hit me up on Messenger / Patrice Ngangula De Lemos
Thank you for making this video
Thanks for everything. I love history especially African history.
The Haitian Creole is from the Fond, Igbo, Wolof, and the Congolese language.
Tga Dega Garrencha ❤️
Are you saying that’s where our ancestors came from if so that’s true . Also add the Congo , and bara tribe of Madagascar. Basically we in Haiti are a mixture of various African regions. As far as the creole language , while certain regions in Haiti speak creole a little more “ raw “ than others who speak it closer to French idk it’s definitely a broken French more than anything , one thing that’s funny though everywhere creole is spoken even African countries etc we can somewhat understand each other.
dave lopes yes I’m Haitian I know this lol. Creole is a mixture of all the languages around us at the time , some words are Taino , some are a broken French , Portuguese , Spanish even English it’s a mixture some words might be from different African tribes.
Creole isn't from Igbo at all. I'm st lucian and we speak Creole
@@connormurphy683. I'm from st lucia and we speak Creole. It's similar to Haitian creole
Hello, Caucasian male here and a long time student of African ethnography. Your video is interesting, informative, and exceptionally well made. Very well done.
But slightly one sided, the sad story is so much bigger.
Hi CM, Have you read up on migration of the Celtic or Germanic Tribes or isn't that woke enough for you?
@@mirola73 I totally agree. Only when we understand just how we got here fully, then we will be able to move forward. It is a start though and a god start I might add.
@@johnwright9192 Why would we care? Theres enough information about short white history to last two lifetimes over. All we hear about is WHITE HISTORY.
Mind Your Business, Enough Of Caucasians Interference
You are alight, thanx for your personal genesis, I soak up , the 3-D in the presentation.🇬🇾
Great Education, and Great insight as well
Black people are Kings and Queens... the most interesting and best looking race in the world. Love your black skin.... I love mine.
Adrian NiKo that's amazing because we don't want you to date us!
Me to
Adrian NiKo OK and that’s your choice. But that is no reason to put down someone’s looks just because you don’t find them attractive it is more to the content of their character and they’re fighting spirit that you should be concerned with but I can see that you are a racist piece o but that is no reason to put down someone’s looks just because you don’t find them attractive it is more to the content of their character and fighting spirit
Sean Taylor Well said!!!! Adrian NiKo is clearly tiny minded so I don't think he'll comprehend what you said.
Adrian NiKo nobody cares about your opinion

Hi 😊 My wife is Nigerian Igbo. I'm African American are you African American also?
How do you learn this?
@@mosesmoses9017 yes I’m African American…
@@yayayaya7733 thanks for responding I am now curious to know if whether or not I am Nigerian as well
Where did you find this information please help!
Your work is tremendous. Imagery is so powerful. The display of artwork and the music in the background impeccable.In addition the display of the manner of dress the true mark of any people's humanity. It penetrates the conscious as well as the subconscious mind.You explain the vastness and diversity and the beauty of African culture.You explain how the colonial powers were able to exploit this diversity to suit their own needs. The good,the bad and the ugly. Truthfulness in its purest form.A continent of such highly intelligent people capable of forming vast empires and kingdoms. A continent at constant conflicts with itself. Constant warfare. In essence no different than displayed throughout European and Asian history.I am glad that the narrator has the foresight to find out his maternal and paternal ancestry and then do diligent research to share with the rest of the world. Instilling in himself a greater sense of self, confidence and respect and accomplishment. And in turn embrace others who look like him without fear and trepidation at a subconscious and conscious level. As an African American am I just beginning to understand the profound psychological damage done to our people once they stepped upon America's shores.But there is hope for our people to repair the damage. It is going to be a long and painful process of trial and error. We cannot expect our people to be of sound mind and body simply through American mainstream institutions.After school the children of Muslims go to the mosque every day of the week. Same with the children of the Jewish people. They go to the synagogue. Where do our children go after school? Where do our children go on Sunday besides church. We must require our children,wherever they can congregate during their free time and immerse them in our history en masse at an early age as possible. Starting with tools such as these type of videos. Such images alone become part of the subconscious mind.Something that I observed while visiting Japan for three straight summers in the mid to late 1960s.Its ancient ceremonies and history incorporated into everyday life and activities even in the most subtle of ways. Things that Japanese children are exposed to at an early age. We must not allow our children to create in their minds solely the image of the "perp walk" and nothing else.
Very educational. I learned a lot from all this.
I am Fulani from Nigeria 🇳🇬. Very rich content, and highly educational. 👊🏽

I'm Fulani from Northern Nigeria. Thank you for creating this video.
Thank you for this precious piece of history.
Thanks for making this video.
As a white man, I am fascinated to learn history of African people without only hearing about colonialism. There is so much diversity and richness to uncover, from before and after European people terrorised them. We are never taught even the names of the biggest ethnic groups in Africa, and I had to teach myself where the countries all are.
Thank you for giving such detailed history to us for free! It is what makes the internet a miracle, and I am very grateful!
As a black man, it's said that the true history of the slave trade is NEVER taught. You know...the part where black Africans, sold millions of other black Africans to the European slave traders. The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade would not have been possible without that aspect of it.
We need to teach REAL history to people. And that goes for EVERYBODY. We need to teach what really happened throughout history, and stop trying to distort it, change it, or omit it, in order to not offend people, or tell people what they want to hear.
@@Ispeakthetruthify Exactly pal.It was a triangular trade. Unfortunately all the chiefs of Africa had as worthy currency at the time where other enslaved Africans.
@@Ispeakthetruthify the trades amongst African natives already existed and totally different system. The natives served as servants and status could change by marrying non servants, buying, appeal through court or free children etc. it was never by choice and usually by survival. The middlemen were also subjected to deceit. No one was without capture and middlemen from history several rebellious attempts against the Europeans. You may want to dig in deeper and look up historians like Walter Rodney and read sins of fathers James pope Hennessy. You need additional resources to stand on what you said.
To help you out direct quote from Walter Rodney "“A racist streak is never far from the surface in bourgeois presentations on the problems of development, because non-European people are equated with backwardness and stagnation, while progress in uniquely European. It would be simple to ignore such a misconception if it were merely held by the bigoted oppressors, but the racist historical experience has implanted the same negative self-evaluation in the minds of many Africans, and especially in the minds of the imitative African petty bourgeoisie.” I will forever quote this historian as well as author. He was assassinated...should assassins you ask you know. There were authors as well forced to change the narrative and Blame slave trade on African chiefs such as James pope Hennessy-"sins of our fathers. Yes a known fact historians were told to focus on the native Africans being the main contributors of the slave trade. It's very irresponsible for you not to state your source when there's plenty throughout history. The irony of who you're responding to with this info is beyond me.
You are not welcome here whitey. This is a safe space for black folk not colonizers like you
@@Ispeakthetruthify you mean the native Africans hamites sold the israelites to the European
I took the African Ancestry test for my mother’s side. We are from the Temne people in Sierra Leone. I finally know where my ancestors are from.
You can get a citizenship all u need to do travel there and show your results that's it go in Sierra Leone
Awesome. But the temne’s are actually from guinea. But because they are aggressive people by nature they were chased out of guinea and majority of them settled in Sierra Leone. I know this because I am half Sierra Leonean from my father side. Also, you are probably Sherbro Temne as they never got the chance to enter the main land. I am sherbro mende from bonthe.
Please tell me how to do this please..
Kushe ✋🏿
Meaning you related to the Gullah people of South Carolina who are believed to have come from Sierra Leone and still speak the same language as Sierra Leone krio
I'm amazed at finding out more, I believe Africa is full of untold history. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the research!
