Check this out:

"All of us" (America)
"Wunna" (Barbados)
"Ulyuh" (Trinidad)
"Ahyoh" (Virgin Islands)
"Unnu" (Jamaica)
"Ahbe" (Nevis/Guyana) Usually rural, more likely Indo Guyanese
"Yinna" (Bahamas)
"Ahwe" (St. Kitts) Also urban (Afro Guyanese)

Think you are mixing up "all of us" with "all of you". 

"ahbe" (IndoGY) "ahwe" (AfroGY) means "all of us".  "Ahyo" means "all of you".  Colloquial American will be "y'all" or "yawl" for " all of you".

"Unnu" comes from a Igbo word meaning "you" or "all of you".  Wunna and I suspect Yinna is from the same root.

Ahwe pon tap!!  Tell him deh!

He seh he nah know wuh belna is.  He reminds me of another poster who play stupidy too.
