    I am from edo state in Nigeria. Years ago when I started seeing names of places in Japan like osaka okada edo. I started to wonder how are they naming their places in Japan the same way we named our towns in edo state. They worship their gods exactly the way we worship our gods in Benin. Years later from studies in Chicago I found out that the people from edo state migrated from edo state and settled in what is called present day japan-osaka. You posted a video about also a tribe from Nigeria speak the Chinese languages. Those people are still in Nigeria today speaking their native Chinese dialects. Without knowing it’s called mandarin in far away countries called china. I have seen Chinese people in Chicago with straight afro hair like myself and same black men built. I am no longer surprised that the truth is coming out with the help of internet. Keep posting more videos thanks

      If you want to see things like that then Everyone is African, but What I can see did happen is the Edo People Hitched a Ride with Chinese Ships over to Asia and Married into southeast Asian Royalty, Becuase they were Given that position, DUE TO THEM BEING SO DIFFERENT, South east Ancient Asians were Very much like that It helped them Build more Infrastructure Nationally and Legally due to Cultural differences and Understanding, The Kmerian Kingdom also Proposed to a 14 year old Indian Merchant Aswell, No Royal Lines, No Special Reputations, He Was Culturally different, Young enough to Re-assimilated and possibly also the same age as their Princess and so her father Proposed to him, That's how things Worked in Asia back then

The are the rulers of Babylon and took the children of Isreal as slaves! The river Choba is where Ezekiel saw the endtime vision, his name is Ezike(Eze-Ike)they are close kins with the Egyptians(Jibiti) There chief priest is called ON in the book but called Ooni in Nigeria. The Nigerians are the original Egyptians and also Isrealites that’s why the Portuguese first attacked them and looted them before the transatlantic slave trade.

    Very good video. Here is more proof to what you are saying.
    Haplogroup DE is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It is defined by the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutations, or UEPs, M1(YAP), M145(P205), M203, P144, P153, P165, P167, P183.[7] DE is unique because it is distributed in several geographically distinct clusters. An immediate subclade, haplogroup D (also known as D-CTS3946), is mainly found in East Asia, parts of Central Asia, and the Andaman Islands, but also sporadically in West Africa and West Asia. The other immediate subclade, haplogroup E, is common in Africa, and to a lesser extent the Middle East and southern Europe.
    Thank you for you research and keep up the good work. I always knew this stuff and God is just revealing everything now to manking. All life started from the African continent.

      Kanaka Maoli like all Māori have an anatomical species trait called the Rocker Jaw as did their ancestors and the ancestors of the Ainu and Sub Saharan Mauri. Not mongoloid negroid nor caucazoid. Australian aboriginals are indigenous south East Asians also and are genetically related to Indigenous Hindu and peoples of the Amazon. This man in ancient times could be found on every continent because the Māori also went to Antarctica by means of sea voyages as great navigators of ancient. It is them with ancient weaving draped in their feathers on all the megaliths and monuments by legend.

      do research the tuber did not clearly do much....
      Proto-Japonic, the common ancestor of the Japanese and Ryukyuan languages, is thought to have been brought to Japan by settlers coming from the Korean peninsula
      The Japanese, in addition to mastering the reading and writing of Chinese, also adapted Chinese as the basis of their own language. Prior to this time, Japanese was only a spoken language. Then the Japanese began using Chinese characters to transliterate their own spoken tongue.
      The Chinese language is the oldest written language in the world with at least six thousand years of history. Chinese character inscriptions have been found in turtle shells dating back to the Shang dynasty1 (1766-1123 BC) proving the written language has existed for more than 3,000 years.

    Also, the ancient design of Benin city can still be seen in modern day city plan of Benin- the city centre revolves around the Oba's (king) palace, with a ring road in front, then streets veer off this.

    The black people were traders from India. They introduced Hinduism into South East Asia. India Princes had Hindu Temples built in Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Some say this was as far back as the 1st Century AD to about 1400 AD when Buddhism, Islam and Christianity infiltrated S.E. Asia.
    Trading boats plied the East Coast of Africa as far South as Madagascar. Arab dows, Indian traders and Indonesian outriggers crossed the Indian Ocean trading also with Africa, Egypt, Persia, Arabia and Israel. Certainly Africans sailed these seas. The Aboriginal people of Australia arrived in Australia from Africa about 65,000 years ago. Some say 42,000 while others claim 128,000 years ago. They crossed oceans by sea. The Wallace line in Indonesia identifies a stretch of ocean that animals could not cross. The only way was by sea, and they came from Africa, as shown by their DNA. The Australian Aboriginal DNA exists in isolated tribes on islands in the Andaman Sea, and was found in natives in Tierra del Fuego South America.

I was born and raised in Nigerian Benin City i was 9 when i left my home and traveled abroad to Italy and Sweden with my family, growing up in foreign countries and being exposed to racism and other races discriminating Africans calling us primitive, savages, uncivilized and so on and so forth. Growing up I had an inner desire to know more about Africa's Greatness and it's advance civilization starting all the way from ancient Egypt in the land of Kemet and spreading all over the African continent.
    As a Nigerian while watching this video all i could feel was pure Joy, I was truly astonished and VERY PROUD of the accomplishments of my Nigerian ancestors and the genuine roles they played in history worldwide, building, creating and civilizing various races paving a way for them to truly understand the full meaning of being and living as human being on Earth. But it seems that the world has forgot the people that helped them become who they are today.
    As a Pan-Africanist the first principle of Pan-Africanism is that all Africans are 1 family so to all My Africans worldwide our time is now it's time for us to wake up UNITE as 1 family work together look after, protect one another from outside invaders, thieves and manipulators that have kept destroying our ADVANCED CIVILIZATIONS, they kept us from knowing our history from knowing our Greatness all because they are envious and jealous of US THE AFRICANS ,THE BLACK HEADED PEOPLE ,THE BLACK RACE all is being revealed through the power of the internet.
    Our Destiny as Sovereign Rulers of this world can be delayed but it can never be denied it's time for both the youth and elders to join forces work together uplift 1 another be BRAVE, STRONG, STAND TALL, FIRM and FEAR NOT, FIGHT and take back your home which is AFRICA.
    Thank you Brother for what you and your team are doing it's absolutely remarkable. I already subscribed 2 your channel and dropped INFINITE Likes I truly believe that I didn't stumble upon this video but it called out to me. Much Love and support from Italy 🤩😍 🖤✊🏿BLACK POWER.

There is nothing like 'Edo' in the etymology of the African people commonly linked to that name. What is true is the ancient name IDU founded by the Igbo ancestors of humans. A corruption of IDU by european (Portugese, Germans and French and British) enslavers/colonizers resulted in the entrenched "Edo" land/people. The Portuguese in particular inspired the name "Benin" to refer to IDU land and again, a corruption of "Ille Ibinu", a name given by the rejected invading Oba to refer to the area of his domain and domicilation.
    Additionally, the modern ruling class in "Edo" are descendants of the invading Yoruba people who originally met stiff and stout resistance from the Ogiso, IDU ruling family culminating in the famous "IDU/Oba War" in the 5th century AD.
    It is not incidental that the majority of the common names between Japan and modern Nigeria you cited are Igbo in origin followed by Yoruba and Bini.
    Lastly, the bronze casting technology prominent in the documentary, was originated by Igbo IDU people who later passed the art to Yoruba and later, "Bini' people. The late British anthropologist, Thurstan Shaw published a book on Igbo bronze casting technology called "Igboukwu: Volumes 1 & 2. You may like to do a quick research to connect with a yawning vacuum in this work
    And by the way, the socalled 'Bini' or "Edo" people are no more than the descendants of crossbreeding between Igbo-IDU and invading Yoruba people Southwestern Nigeria in late ancient world.
    It is part of deliberatesuppression and denial of Igbo origin and civilization of mankind perpetrated by Igbo Greek, Roman, and Portuguese and British conquerors that this work glossed over the contribution and role of Igbo-IDU in not just the true history of ancient Japan, but indeed, entire Asia, Europe, North America and Australia.
    You will do well to do a sequel on this and more broadly, the true origin, history and civilization of today's the Igbo people of british imposed nigeria.

      Interesting. Can you explain the existence of the Edo language? It is very different from Igbo and Yoruba. Are you saying that the Yorubas crossbred with Igbos, and their descendants invented an entirely new language? Why would that happen? In such situations the language of the invaders generally replaces that of the conquered group, in this case the Igbos, and the dominant language in Edo region would be Yoruba. So please explain the presence of the Edo language there. Where did that come from? Why is it so different etymologically from both Igbo and Yoruba?

    Great work and information to share! ❤ Does this pertain to the Esan people of Benin City-Edo Nigeria? I have done my DNA ancestry ("Living DNA") and my ancestors are Esan Nigerians. And what's so ironic is that I do have a Japanese bloodline too ("23andme")! I love this! Do you know that I showed my friend who is Edo this video and he never knew! He was so fascinated by this information. I kind of always suspected this because whenever I came across some Chinese or Japanese names with Chi, it looked so close to Igbo names!

I feel so close to Nigeria, one of my best friend from Edo state (Benin City) and we’ve talked about “Edo” and other similar words too. Our ways of thinking and customs are so similar, reverence to ancestors, respect for elders, native religious belief systems (animism) and daily greetings compared to more dominating western civilization. I now study Ifa and finding very ancient uncial connections must have existed in Africa and east Asia. Also to add, the original “native” Jomon people’s DNA study, their haplogroup D only other places found in Andaman Islands and Tibet. They are ancient black races of Asia.

    'Edo ri isia agbon' is an Edo (Benin, Nigeria) phrase roughly meaning 'Edo-Benin is the Center of the World'. I can't prove this, but this video and other historic and archaeological findings seem to point to it. Problem is, the Benin palace will beloathe to open it's gates to conniving research especially after their roughish and humiliating invasion by the Europeans. I sincerely believe that more historic facts such as the video portends, can be unearthed through respectful collaborative efforts by all.

Every time I meet someone from Japan, I can’t help myself trying to show them that their names are very much alike with names from the Benin culture!

    Hmmm idk about that “Edomites” part. If she’s going to use the Bible to establish identity. She should also recall that “Edom” comes from Esau who was named “red” not because of skin color OR clothes color, but because he was covered in red goat like hair. Thats why Jacob’s mother had to put goat hair on Jacob because Esau (the father of the nation of edom)
    , was covered in Red goat like (STRAIGHT) hair. Their father was blind so he could not see the color red BUT he could feel the texture of hair even if he was blind. Also a removed book which NO BOOKS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED (2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ”All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.“ ‭), 2 esdras 6:9 says “Esau is the end of the world and Jacob is the beginning of the next”. I find often time when reading “non-inspired” books, that they were removed to hide things that didnt follow along with their agenda. If it didnt say what they wanted it to say, or if it gave too much understanding about certain things they removed it calling it “not inspired”. Which they have no authority to do because again 2 Timothy 3:16. But they did so because THEY HAVE THE POWER AS HEADS OF OF THIS CURRENT WORLD TO DO SO. If you know that ESAU aka EDOM will rule this current world, and Jacob will rule the one that comes after its destruction Armageddon, there’s no way you’d come to the conclusion that Edom has anything to do with black people. Because no where on this earth is there a Black person ruling and reigning independently from the influence of 🧑🏻‍🦰👱🏻‍♂️👨🏻….. and we all know who rules the current world right now. “my people perish for lack of knowledge”. First we were “Hamites”, now its being genetically proven that Africans in west Africa have Abrahamic DNA (look for videos on Igbo j .ews on YT), so now the narrative is changing to say “oh yes they are from Abraham, but they are not from the line of Jacob”, and therefore are not permitted the same privileges (you know what i mean. The “dont you dare offend”)of being regarded as Jacob’s seed. My bible and history paints a different picture but, go ham 💫

One can easily imagine Zulu presence in those ancient migrations. Also, ''the ancestors of the Zulu migrated from western Africa into southeastern Africa during the Bantu migrations from 2000 BC until the 15th century'', according to mainstream scholarship, so we can't exclude a distant connection to the Edo people.

Having watched a good amount of Japanese and Korean content, growing up, I've noticed many similarities in physical features, and some japanese words that I could attribute to Haiti. As I learn more about West African peoples and their histories, the similarities to East Asians that I've picked up on make total sense!
