african lie station why are you removing comments a lie fears all criticism while the truth fears no discernment. whats that make you pimp.

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

OMG, I'm Nigerian and I was reading this book called 'No, No Boy', it's written by a Japanese author. When I was reading the book, I noticed A LOT of the names sounded like names from my tribe. The more I researched and spoke to HONEST Japanese, because there was one Japanese lady that was trying to make me look stupid like I didn't know what I was talking about. Anyway, the more I've spoken to Japanese people, the more I realized that there are PLENTY of similarities between the Japanese and Africa. I believe a tribe came to Japan from Africa during the last ice age. I'm really, really glad to see this video. THANK YOU!!!!

Some skeptics say the walls didn't exist. Go to Benin, you will see parts of the remnants of the wall. Ive seen them during my school days in Benin city. . Most was destroyed by the British during the Benin invasion. 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. Its really interesting to see that our ancestors were better town planners than today's generation, where theres little planning and houses are built in a haphazard manner

I schooled in Benin City, Edo state, Nigeria and that's how we greet elders: 'Domor sir'' ...more research needs to be done on this connection between Nigeria/Africa and Japan, China and other Asian countries

This makes a lot of sense. I am from Jamaica. 51% Nigerian, but my DNA also picked up Paleo Siberian - which would've been the same people who became the Jomon/Ainu people of Japan. I also have Austronesian, Native American and South East Asian. A part from the Native American that I could easily trace back, because my grandmother is known to be of Taino descent, the rest of non-African ethnicities weren't adding up to me. Now this puts everything into perspective, and my DNA results can confirm this study as well. I am seeing a connection. I also study Japanese language and history and have observed and questioned all these things mentioned in the video, and I thought I was tripping when I speculated. I think the Japanese people need to be educated about this because the most they tell them about their far history is that they don't know where the Jomon people came from, but they were possibly Jewish or of some Eurasian decent. These findings would also point to Native Americans and Siberians who crossed over to the Americas actually belonging to this same group that came from Nigeria. This is why Native Americans are inherently black and also share similar physical traits as Japanese people.

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.

I live in Germany but I'm from Kenya. I studied Linguistics at university years ago. During my student days I also took Japanese language lessons for 3 years. From the beginning I was struck by similarities between Japanese and two Kenyan languages, Swahili and especially Kikuyu. Both are Bantu languages. Bantu is one of the African language groups. I haven't personally noted any similarities between Japanese and Luhya, the Kenyan language mentioned in the video, but Luhya is also a Bantu language. Then again, I don't speak any Luhya. The similarities with the Kikuyu language of Kenya may or may not be coincidences, but the link to Benin and Nigeria are unmistakeable. Like the video points out, it's no mere coincidence. Japanese people living in Kenya, as we observed in those days, spoke Swahili just like Kenyans so much so that, if you had closed your eyes, you'd have thought a Kenyan was speaking. There were Europeans and Americans in Kenya who had learnt Swahili very well, but they always spoke it with a heavy European or American accent. When the Japanese heard us Kenyans speaking their language, lo and behold, they said that unlike Americans living in Japan we spoke Japanese just like the Japanese - without an accent! Because of my backgound in Linguistics, I can confirm that African language and Asian languages are very similar both phonetically (in terms of pronunciation) and syntactically (in terms of grammar). For example, both Japanese and Luo (my mother tongue) are what are known as pitch accents, whereas English and German, the two European languages I speak, are stress accents.

Thank you so much for this incredible, insightful video! I'm of Haitian descent, and my DNA is primarily made up of West African (& Central if it includes the former kingdom of Kongo) ethnicities. It's amazing how much of our ancestral cultures we've been able to maintain through song and dance; thus, I like to research where we've obtained (or retained) certain aspects of our culture-which is regionally diverse within itself. 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!

I am an African myself. But, let's say that it doesn't work that way. Respect is deserved ! And also, let's keep in mind that our Representation in the eyes of Other Peoples in the world has been fabricated, twisted, falsified by the West following Slavery and Colonization of our Ancestors. That's to say we cannot hold grudge against our Sons and Daughters from Asia. Instead of asking for Respect, we must educate ourselves by making a bit of research so we can have something to share with our kids, family, friends and neighbours in order to raise their Level of Consciousness and Confidence. Because History is a Powerful tool to change mind and raise the level of Conscience. We definitely have work to do instead of requesting Respect. Even if Other Peoples discover the True History of Black People, that won't change much in the way we are viewed by Others. That Respect we crave and cry out for, we shall deserve it through the image of ourselves we project to the Outside World. In other words, one way or another, we will have to put our act together. We cannot go on like that and expect anything is going to change for Us. History and Society just doesn't work like that.

I have always asked myself if there was any correlation b/n the Japanese Edo and Nigeria's. now it's clear.👍

I’ve spent considerable time in Asia, particularly China and Japan. A lot of Africans , mostly Nigerians resided in Tokyo and also Guangzhou , China. Any Asian that interacts with Nigerian culture daily is most definitely going to recognize the similarities in culture and language and I have a feeling the governments are aware of it. Honestly, if China and Japan openly endorse and recognize Africa as a source of their heritage and culture it could really make a massive difference and shift in the racial climate and respect towards Africans and disempower European influence. Also, when I was in Japan I met a lot of Japanese business people that would often travel to Africa. These people are not dumb, they recognize the similarities in culture and I get the feeling that they themselves identify the similarities.

Amazing video and great research! When I was studying the Azande people of the DRC I came across a lot of place names and names of rulers from Africa with place names etc. from Indonesia and all over that region. Why aren't they teaching us real history in school in the UK? Summary of this video: The video explores a hypothetical scenario based on historical facts, where a young Nigerian named Osazuwa travels to Tokyo, Japan for university. When he arrives, he surprises his Japanese friends by revealing his Edo ethnic group from Nigeria, which leads to astonishing connections between the Edo people of Benin Empire and ancient Japan. The Benin people were a powerful kingdom in Nigeria, known for their massive walls and sophisticated culture. The video suggests that there are linguistic, cultural, and even genetic connections between the Edo people and ancient Japan. It delves into the striking similarities in names, cultural practices, and even DNA evidence linking Nigeria and Japan. The video also explores the possibility of Edo people from Benin settling in Japan during the Edo period, leading to a blending of cultures and genetic influence. It touches upon the linguistic connections between African and Asian languages, as well as the potential influence of Edo people in various regions of Asia. Overall, the video presents compelling evidence and connections that suggest a deep and significant historical relationship between the Edo people of Benin Empire in Nigeria and ancient Japan during the Edo period.

I appreciate your research. I've always known there was an affinity between Japan and Africa - ever since i was a child in Oklahoma City, OK - my Dad was a book collector and he had a series of books called the Afro-Asian Encyclopedia - It was in black and white, but showed so many similarities between Africa and Japan - including the fact that both cultures believe everything has a spirit inside. I also knew that Japan tried to warn Africa about the invasion of the caucasoids - the beginning of slavery, and when they would not listen, the Japanese returned to Japan and closed their borders to caucasoids for nearly 400 years - from the 1500s to the late 1800s, when they threatened to blow Japan up with canons if they didn't allow them to come ashore (around 1867 after the Civil War). Perhaps the greatest proponents of Afro/Asian Ancestry was the great researcher and scholar Runoko Rashidi - a dear friend, who used to lecture in the US and throughout Africa about the wonderful traditions we have in common. I've always admired Japanese culture and worked with a Japanese firm in New York City for a few years, and was pleased to find there were some strong positive energies between me and my coworkers - who are now also my friends. The fact that Japan relates to African American Jazz and music is also an indication to the possibilities of genetic afiliations. I also remember, as a kid, when Walt Disney had the Mickey Mouse Club on TV - they did a tribute to Japan: "Where are prettiest flowers made? Made in Japan!" - I have never forgotten that song, even though at the time I was not aware of all the wonderful and beautiful things our Japanese brothers and sisters made. There was still so much prejudice against Japanese post WWII. Thanks so much for this wonderful film. Also, I remember I had a dear friend from Sierra Leone, West Africa whose name was Miatta - also the name of a famous model of a car by Toyoto - The Miatta. I am planning to take a trip to Japan to see in person why there is such a strong affinity on my part to things and people Japanese. So Arigato and Asante Sana for making this wonderful video.

The route to Africa may be pretty long here, and this would hardly surprise anyone, except for the fact how rich history is, how the world interconnected. The ancient peoples weren't sedentary, like today, and those on the islands in particular, they navigated great distances on regular bases. This is what gives rise to great kingdoms, even though it also happens on the mainland, these two always meet to create these great nations or civilizations. Even if they don't fully integrate, or not initially, they trade, utilizing the strengths of one another. In terms of demographics, this pattern of history favors the largest land mass in the area, whatever the race, it displaces that of the sea people. Considering that the southern Asia and the Pacific Islands were populated by black Africans who closely interacted with Africa, they would have dealt with the kingdom of benin even if they traded on the east coast, just because Benin was the center of power and trade, even though they didn't incorporate the area, there's no reason for that, the relevant power was trade, and it knew no limits, the issue was optimization of it, and for that you had to create a center of power, and go from there. The tribe of Moses that you mentioned weren't some backward beduins, they are described as leaders in terms of civilization, superior to Egypt and Mesopotamia, where Moses went to complete his education, and he did. He married there, and his wife is described as a black African. It might have been another one, nevertheless, even if a multiracial society, the African connection is there at least in terms of upper classes or royalty, that actively cultivated such connections for the obvious reasons of knowledge, power and trade. Human history is easily covered by sands, few things seem to last, and this is very deceptive, creating this false notion of history that it was set in stone. Human history is nothing like that, there were thousands of Marco Polos, they just never got famous. We also know that trade between sub-saharan Africa and Middle East was extensive in the ancient times. It went primarily through Egypt and the black nation of Kush, but little else was known about the nations the Kushites traded with. They were more like the middle men who have developed exclusive partnership with Egypt, relying on other nations for procuring the goods and running the actual economy. We also know that the Midianites bypassed them to some extent through the sea trade, and Solomon even built a port in Midian, to have a more direct route to Africa, with a consent of Egypt. As a result the markets were flooded with gold and previously exotic luxury products, and a lot of people weren't happy, also unsustainable in other respects, it didn't last. No doubt, the markets pursued other venues, going east, looking for opportunities, and a remote, uncontested and rich a place like Japan would have been the most likely place to call home for out-of-work class of warriors and traders of leading sub-saharan African nations of the time.

Very interesting info. There is indeed a Kenyan connection. Someone from Kenya actually posted that he was told the Edo warriors passed through East Africa & Kenya on their way to the coast to sail to Japan, rather than sailing direct from the West African Atlantic coast, which would have been a longer journey presumably. Thus there would have likely recruited Kenyans to accompany them in their expeditions, possibly due to their knowledge of the Indian Ocean sea tides, directions etc. This of course does not preclude the possibility of ancient Kenyans having journeyed there on their own as well, since there was a major sailing tradition on the East African coast throughout ancient times.
