Niiko: Bantu Dance

[Finesse]

Somalis who love niiko need to love the origins of niiko and the people who brought it to Somalia. Don't hate and mistreat the people and appropriate their dance/culture.
I am talking to Reer Mogadishu specifically since Niiko isn't really celebrated or performed in other areas in Somalia.

 

[Finesse]

Personally, I think the dance should not be done in public since it is sexually provocative. You'll see variations of this dance performed in all Bantu nations, which is most of Africa.

I am talking about the niiko dance, its origins is from the Bantu people not ethnic Somalis.

Yes in my honest opinion I believe it did not originate with the Bantus because many cultures shake their ass it is normal. Don't act like Somalis are free of filthy customs. yaa ukhti even Arabs perform Niiko.

 

[madaxweyne]

so all bantus did in africa was shake their booty
also i heard they brought a similar dance to the arabs aswell
something called maaliyah or something cant quite remember it

That might be correct , but do you have proof that niiko originated with the Bantus from Southern Somalia. I'll wait for proof akhi. I'm merely asking you guys proof nothing more...

100%. This is their dance that Somalis have also taken on (you can ask your parents). It's a cultural exchange. They are a part of Somalia and these diaspora kids disrespecting and abusing them make me sick. That first vid is too funny.

Niiko is the best Somali dance because it comes from bantus (superior race)

My motto is if you won't do it in a masjid, don't do it all.

Let's kill the popularity of niiko.

The same way some caucasians fought side by side with blacks during civil rights

I will stand side by side with my bantu brothers and fight for their rights.
Viva Madowweyne (I’m a Somali ally)

 

[CaliTedesse]

Can I have the proof written proof that niiko originated with the Bantus?

Not the same dynamic. It is more like White Americans being oppressed in Mexico when they got the opportunity to go back to richer America. Southeast African countries are better off than Somalia.

It likely did, only Somalis do it. It is more common in the South of Somalia than the North where it is more recent. None of the other Cushites do this.
