The Saro, or Nigerian Creoles of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, were Yoruba Liberated Africans emancipated and initially resettled in Freetown, Sierra Leone by the Royal Navy, which, with the West Africa Squadron, enforced the abolition of the international slave trade after the British Parliament passed the Slave Trade Act 1807. Those freedmen who migrated back to Nigeria from Sierra Leone, over several generations starting from the 1830s, became known locally as Saro (elided form of Sierra Leone, from the Yoruba sàró). Consequently, the Saro are culturally descended from Sierra Leone Creoles, with ancestral roots to the Yoruba people of Nigeria.

  • De Saro is een relatief klein volk in Nigeria. De Saro stammen af van migranten uit Freetown, Sierra Leone die van oorsprong voornamelijk Yoruba waren. Die waren vanaf 1808 door de Britse Marine bevrijd van slavenschepen die bestemd waren voor de Nieuwe Wereld. In Freetown werden zij door de Britten aan land gelaten, waar velen zich bekeerden tot het Christendom en Engelse namen aannamen, beïnvloed door de andere migranten en bevrijde Afrikanen. Deze goed geschoolde, elitaire Creolen werden bekend als Krio's. (nl)
