Apart from speaking similar language, the Anagos, like other Yorubas have same traditions and deities such as dress codes (agbado, bubs, kembe, caps like, gobi, abeti aja) and egungun, oro, ogun, sango, etc.
The Ga's of Ghana still refer to all Yuroba speaking people as Anago having migrated from Ile Efe in Nigeria. Possibly Anago was the prominent identity before the coming of the 'white'.
The people known as anago in Benin are Yoruba from the kingdoms of Ketu and Sabè and over places in Benin republic. They speak various dialects of Yoruba and migrated from Oyo and Ilé Ifè. Contrary to what is said in this video, we consider ourselves to be Yoruba. It was the Fon people who created the name ANAGO because of our ancestors' navigational skills, unlike the Fons who can't navigate. Anan means boat in Fon. So, they say those who come from the boat lift. I'm Yoruba and I have families in Nigeria and they recognize me as their sister.
My brother,in porto novo,and its surroundings,they call themselves yoruba,I'm one of them.I'm yoruba.Nervertheless,the people of sakete,ketu,pobè and ketu are referred to as anago,and the french people prefer to use anago than Yoruba.
The main intention of the British colonialist wasn't to bring the different people together as one. It was meant to disconnect the people from a part of their ancestry and identity. There must be something they don't want yorubas of today to know. Those in Benin Republic retain the Anago identity. I am thinking the term Anago could be related to the Nagas, which really point to the ancient ancestry of the yorubas. It's a possibility. This could have helped us identify our origin. But with a term like Yoruba, it doesn't connect us with the past.
You can't expect it to be same because even in Nigeria we have different yoruba,ekiti,ondo,egba and so on with difers tonque and yet they are still yoruba
Anago people metamorphosised from Yoruba race,anago is a tongue language ketu was the first daughter of oduduwa from Ile ife who founded ketu kingdom,the scrabble and petition of Africa cause all this.
Try and find history in Britain, Portugal or French who knows more better of history. Just like original Jerusalem ikayi lama in South Africa, why did Romans changed his africa region names. Moreover the original name of the creation is SoniniNanini
This is not true. Yoruba is what they identify with in Benin republic. Google and Wikipedia establishes that. Sierra Leone is where they identify as Anago.
We were all called Anago before now. Only Oyo people were being called Yoruba before now. All others are being called different names like Ekiti, Ilesha, Ilaje, Ife, Ilaje, Akoko, Ijebu, Egba, Awori, e.t.c.
Yoruba is the tribe of Judah, Yehuda in ancient Hebrew, translated to Yoruba, the House of Judah is made up of 3 tribes of Israel, Judah which is Yoruba or Yehuda, Levi and Benjamin which are the Yoruba scattered all over
@@RBG1st My Dear, the Yoruba are speaking the undiluted Hebrew language, now i will tell you prophecy referring to Yoruba in the Bible, i am sure you are aware of the monarchical government of the Yoruba, it came way back from king David, check out this scripture speculation the priced kingdom of Yoruba as the tribe of Judah:Gen 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. That sceptre is what you see in the hands of Yoruba kings, the Word of God is telling us how to identify the tribes through what they practice and the picture of their culture
@@seismicvertigo345 Wake up, Africa is the name of an Italian general and Africa is a continent, the name was given to the continent by whites, Israelites are scattered all over Africa, to identify each tribe, you have to go to the Bible, the of House Of Judah will be identified by Royal cultural practices just exactly like the Yorubas, Genesis 49:10

As Beninese I thank you for this video.
Colonization did a lot of bad things to our cultures.

The colonial masters damaged our people

Anago people are in Ipokia too. I'm one
I love anago and yorubas.thank you.
Leave the road is yago Lona in Ijebu , definitely anago is Yoruba of some Yoruba tribes apart from Oyo
The Ga's of Ghana still refer to all Yuroba speaking people as Anago having migrated from Ile Efe in Nigeria. Possibly Anago was the prominent identity before the coming of the 'white'.

Eloquently and well articulated
@@NigeriaWeStandin Sierra Leone they are called Aku or Oku
There’s something called Yoruba ooo is a village name in oyo before is now popularly using to call
Thank God. I'm not lost oooo
Interesting

Anan and Anago are different etymologically. I do not think they are connected.
Anagos are yorubas and in benin there is yorubas from oyo, yoruba is a language
I speak anago.yoruba.egun very well
Late Rev.Samuel Ajayi Crowder was from Osoogun near Iseyin❤❤❤
All Yorubas are from lle -lfe, we are the children of Oduduwa❤❤❤

Same with Hausa. D ones in Nigeria 🇳🇬 speak English, d ones in Niger republic 🇳🇪 speak French
you got some points wrong, anago is yoruba, go there and do your findings.
You can't expect it to be same because even in Nigeria we have different yoruba,ekiti,ondo,egba and so on with difers tonque and yet they are still yoruba
Ok what do you want bring out from it. Yoruba/anaco, aku, are all one kingdom. Same goes to igbos or Hausa people or Kanuri
He is simply rehashing what the other genuine RUclipsr is saying.
Awori people were originated from ile ife, go and find out
Anago people metamorphosised from Yoruba race,anago is a tongue language ketu was the first daughter of oduduwa from Ile ife who founded ketu kingdom,the scrabble and petition of Africa cause all this.
what are you saying you forgot that the people of Benin republic where colonies by French
Only a fuul who think people who speak different dialects with similarities are not one people
Just like people in Brazil , or in Jamaica or Trinidad and Tobago
Not race but ethny
That's not true. It's the yoruba people in Nigeria are the ones saying. The anagos people are not part of them
This guy is not speaking anago
Try and find history in Britain, Portugal or French who knows more better of history. Just like original Jerusalem ikayi lama in South Africa, why did Romans changed his africa region names. Moreover the original name of the creation is SoniniNanini
This is not true. Yoruba is what they identify with in Benin republic. Google and Wikipedia establishes that. Sierra Leone is where they identify as Anago.
Yorubas claims a direct link to a creator which came down from heaven
We were all called Anago before now. Only Oyo people were being called Yoruba before now. All others are being called different names like Ekiti, Ilesha, Ilaje, Ife, Ilaje, Akoko, Ijebu, Egba, Awori, e.t.c.
