@Yanipooh I don't know about videos, but there are books about the Yoruba and Akan diaspora (the Kromanti are from Ghana). The Akan one is by Kwasi Konadu and is called 'The Akan Diaspora in the Americas' and the Yoruba one by Toyin Falola called 'The Yoruba Diaspora in the Atlantic World'. The o...

  @Parables1 That is South America, this video is talking about the Caribbean, no one is denying Yoruba influence in any of those South American countries, but there is no evidence that any other African influence, apart from the Akan and Kongo, is stronger than that of the Igbo in the Caribbean.

  @SeventhSun That was a sketch of king Jaja of Opobo exiled by the British Empire to Barbados (or one of those islands) for resisting their influence. He died on his way back to his kingdom. In his official photo, he is dressed in full Opobo attire, but I agree with you.

  @Titoscudd The Igbo developed several scripts on their own, and if left alone would have continued to record court cases without European help. That's the kind of stuff I get excitement from. There is not much excitement about an imposed Latin script that does not even work for Igbo.
