It was a great moment to have our American Themneh folks in Sierra Leone. Gbafo-gbafo (welcome-welcome)
MY SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS:
1. Our American Themneh folks though an inprompt visit they should have been welcomed with our local traditional beating, dancing and singing by our local Themneh women folks. Nevertheless, the chiefdom speaker with his team were even capable for the purpose.
2. The chiefdom speaker narrowly forgot (though he started...) how they should have welcomed the strangers with anment (water) ye (and) artorla (kola nuts) ka (in) anporthi (cup) likewise how our American Themnes brothers and sisters should have been thought in a traditional way of response. I was totally not impressed on the opening conversation.
3. Gender Balance was totally frowned at by our Chiefdom Speaker. Am sure there were traditional female heads and young female folks to be included in the program. While giving his introduction, I saw women as passers-by, why were they not called upon to join that blessed moment?
4. There were few dictions and phrases of how to greet in Themneh. I was expecting them to thought few Themneh phrases to increase the confidence of their trace and trate.
Phrases like:
a. Naparee (plural-good afternoon or good evening)
b. Naderaye (plural-goodmorning)
c. Momo (thank you)
d. Orwawo (goodbye)
5. It was unfortunate on the part of the Chiefdom Speaker for failing to supplied the local Themneh names and their meanings.
Names like. Ya. Rukor Fonthi, Ya. Borthi Gbla, Ya. Norkor Kanu, Ya. Burah Commeh, Pa. Sorie Kamara, Pa. Lamina Baila, Pa. Thimu Sankoh etc.
The most unfortunate part of the rest was the names supplied were Arabic and Themneh Royal names which were poorly pronounced and wrongly supplied with the right meanings. This would have been a good traditional setting moment but was poorly done.
6. Where were our local foods (foo-foo, coconuts, hens etc.) to be welcomed these American Themnes so that they would have felt home?
7. The name SINNEH is not a royal traditional name but just a common Themneh name. It was poorly misunderstood by the Chiefdom Speaker and totally pinpointed by the translator.
8. To see and to feel is different.
To be pointing and naming fruits by not seeing and feeling them was not impressive.
* I laughed when the traditional women they met in the stream overheard the statement of the translator in English and they mentioned in Themneh L1: "Did they say when someone killed/catched fish from this stream will die...?"
What is the traditional irony behind this statement from the local women? Too doubtful to get it all wrong but all this misinformation started by the Chiefdom Speaker.
Nontheless, the navigation by our American Themneh brothers and sisters was a fantastic research. Am proud of them to have the same DNAs with us. Thanks to the organisers and hosts at Lokomasa. To God be thy glory for all of these happenings.
I'm glad to see Black Americans finding their own place of origin. Lokomasama is a pure Temne land and it is one of the largest chiefdoms in Port Loko district. Welcome home our thèmn3 people and I hope you will learn how to speak the language to show that you are temnes from 🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱. Ma Moo nu ta mapanth m'finoh nèh yor tak thens do ar kom an'fem anu-a ( Thank you all for the good step you took to find your ancestral home )
Welcome home by Temne brothers n sisters🇸🇱
very hard working people.
I'm a limba by tribe.
but i knew these people since i was a baby.
even now they bring hard working in my tong freetown.
every year I'm there. our next door neighbour's are temne . they are always cooking or doing something. the women.

Yes themne are business minded people and hard workers too

My maternal ancestry back 8 generations is from this area, Ghana, and Liberia. My father's DNA is 100% European with no African DNA. I am trying to learn more about my roots too. So happy that you shared this video. Peace and blessings
The typical temne names are as Bura, Yeanoh, ISATU, Sorie FODAY, Gbanabom, Raka, Karnataka these last three names are derived from the PORO society in part of the Northern Province of MAKENI , YONIBANA, MASINGBI MAGBURAKA etc
The work you are doing is good work, keep it up
I love this. My parents are Temne too. Sabanor Gbaing Gbaing
Sabanor Gbaing-Gbaing means (We are the true descendants/indigins/locals/citizens/owners of here...)

Greetings from Albania. 🇦🇱
To be honest the adzan made me interesting over the program 💯💯
Ayeee! Team Temne 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Search for uhuru another 💎
Glad you enjoyed
The reason they struggled with giving the meaning of Salimatu is bcos the name is not African. It has Arab origin and was Africanized tru adoption of islam. The true meaning is only known to people who understand arabic.
@Ben Yosep it's still around you just have read up on it, if you don't know anyone directly to enquire
You are all welcome
just found out my bloodline is partly from these roots. then the guy got off the bus with my middle name on his shirt. weird or what.... btw my middle name is Ellesse and thats a pretty rare name where im from
Welcome guys feel at home 🙏
But the naming process was not formally done. It should have been more beautiful the section chief did that together with the regent Paramount chief, and with a little ceremony with cultural dress code.
Welcome to you all.
I just found out that I am descended on my mother’s side from the Temne people!!
Loooool you are native of the Americas
💖💖💖💖👍
You might be my Temne brother too🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry I get so excited to see people tracing their roots.
you never know
This is my land the place I called I grew here lokomasama chiefdom ,mapitherr village four road junction,
Hotep beautiful people
I wish my friend Mohamed Kamara could see this
It’s strange the Themneh chief is speaking Krio, not Themneh.
It’s nice to hear the Muslim call to prayer.
It’s sheer superstition to believe that there’s a Muslim “devil” who comes out on Friday.
We want African Americans to be proud of their Islamic heritage first, then their African heritage.
So Baimaro means a Helper.. a chief . in Themne.
I just found out my maternal dna is temne. Can I apply for citizenship?
Email me hello@danfo.africa or uhuru@searchforuhuru.com
It’s seems like the chief himself doesn’t know the name given by the Temne people and what exactly it’s mean ., and what it’s mean. What a shame , salamatu isn’t a Temne name but araba names.
Well done, if you think that the temne just drop down from cloud to land of Sierra Leone then you're wrong. The temne are descendents from Mali empire and the Malians are 100% Islamic name given to their children that means the meansThen check out history why Salamatu because
Nor this is not as good as I thought it would be. Naming ceremony in our tradition is like this. So this is not properly done in my view
Not like this
It's pronounced Tim-NEE.
Am shocked that these brothers & sisters r being given Arabic names instead of Timne names. It's very unfortunate that their Euro-American names r being replaced with other colonial names. Very unfortunate. Amir, we can do better than this. The Chief, lyk most Africans bearing foreign names didn't knw the meanings of the Arabic names that he was dishing out. Salmat & Umar r Arabic names & NOT AFRICAN. The Timne people cudn't even pronounce the names correctly.
Only one name that related to A little Arabic (Sallimatu) all the other names a typical Temne names.
That's part of our culture already man and you can't change that for us
Haha
What's the point ?
That is great you have found your way home, lively. Please know that the word Temne are ancient yesrealite children. Many of the village names or city are of Hebrew origin. Sierra Leone means, lion mountain an the area where the house of Judah had elements. Research the various names, it proves the identity of the Afrikans. My great grand mah mah was a Mende woman brought to Antigua in the Caribbean as a servant slave. We are the children of the ancient path ways of the scripture . Shalom
No they aren’t. PSUEDO
This Uhuru tourism is pure garbage for the money. How did this dude conned his fellow AA for thousands for these crap
How much does it cost?
You won’t understand because you might lack culture and traditions in your life…

Пусть число мусульман увеличивается 🤲 среди тмне и Менде!
