“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 British 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.
British English in school, work, and offices.

¿Sabían que la tradición Yoruba, originaria de lo que hoy es Nigeria y Benín, posee una de las cosmogonías más complejas del mundo, centrada en el concepto del Àṣẹ (Ashé)?
El Àṣẹ es definido como la fuerza vital y el poder cósmico que permite que las cosas sucedan; es la energía que reside en las palabras, las plantas, las piedras y los seres vivos. Dentro de este sistema, existe una jerarquía clara: en la cúspide se encuentra Olodumare, la deidad suprema y fuente de toda existencia, quien delega el mantenimiento del mundo en los Orishas, entidades que representan fuerzas de la naturaleza y arquetipos humanos.
Un dato fundamental de esta tradición es el Sistema de Adivinación Ifá, el cual fue declarado Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 2005. Este sistema se basa en un corpus literario extremadamente vasto llamado los Odu, que contienen la sabiduría histórica y ética de la cultura. A través de herramientas como el tablero de Ifá y los 16 caracoles, el Babalawo (padre de los secretos) no predice el futuro de forma lineal, sino que ayuda al individuo a realinear su destino personal con el orden natural del universo.
