Oku people (Sierra Leone): Difference between revisions

==Culture==

The Oku people have a distinctive culture that has strong similarities with the [[Yoruba people]]. The Aku often have Arabic first and last names, although some Oku people later adopted the names of prominent benefactors such as Savage or other European surnames to gain admission into the missionary schools. It is not uncommon for some elder members of the Oku community to speak the Yoruba language in addition to the Oku variety of the Krio language.
