“A #Yoruba man travels to #Brazil and encounters a #religion built from traditions that people back home in #Nigeria had learned to distrust.
The experience forces a question: how did Yoruba religion survive the Atlantic but become estranged from the people it came from?
…
“Both #religions were foreign. #Islam arrived earlier, through North African trade and political expansion, and captured my grandparents’ generation. That made them chief imams. #Christianity came through organized missionary infrastructure and later Pentecostal revivalism. That made my parents pastors. What this meant for me was a near-total estrangement from any #indigenous Yoruba #religiousSystem; despite growing up in a Yoruba-majority state in Nigeria, speaking the language fluently and understanding most of its social codes.”https://rpublc.com/story/2026/05/24/culture-and-society/reclamation-across-the-atlantic

Have you ever wondered why most Nigerians can't speak correct English despite being a former British colony? It is simple. Before the British came, Nigerians already had their own native languages (e.g., Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Bini). When English was introduced, it was mainly used in schools and offices—not at the market, within families, or with neighbors and friends. While many Nigerians can write English perfectly, they often prefer or default to other linguistic layers in daily conversation.
The everyday Nigerian linguistic pattern looks like this:
Mother tongue at home.
Pidgin English with friends.
Standard English in school, work, and offices.

En Benín, Nigeria y el sur de Níger, el silencio era roto tradicionalmente por las campanas para propósitos prácticos y religiosos. Las campanas de cabeza dedicadas a Oshun, orisha de la belleza, el amor, la diplomacia y el río homónimo, se caracterizan por la aleación con hasta un 90% de cobre. Se asocian con un culto del Reino de Benín, pudiendo haber sido forjadas siglo XV.🏛️Galería de Arte de la Universidad de Yale #yoruba

"Oranyan, founder of the city of Oyo, died in Ile-Ife, the cradle of Yoruba civilization. His son, the deified king Shango, unable to bring back his remains, decided to bring back at least his spirit by organizing a special ceremony in Oyo which would become that of the Egun."
