Koko That Ate 40 British Men As Nembe King [PICS] by TunezMediaTV: 1:13pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
An Ijaw man, Koko was a convert to Christianity who later returned to the local traditional religion. Before becoming king, he had served as a Christian school teacher, and in 1889 this helped him in his rise to power. The leading chiefs of Nembe, including Spiff, Samuel Sambo, and Cameroon, were all Christians, and after having ordered the destruction of Juju houses a large part of their reason for choosing Koko as king in succession to King Ockiya was that he was a fellow Christian. With the settlement of European traders on the coast, Nembe had engaged in trade with them, but it was poorer than its neighbours Bonny and Calabar. By the 1890s, there was intense resentment of Royal Niger Company's treatment of the people of the Niger delta and of its aggressive actions to exclude its competitors and to monopolize trade, denying the men of Nembe the access to markets which they had long enjoyed. As king, Koko aimed to resist these pressures and tried to strengthen his hand by forming alliances with the states of Bonny and Okpoma. In January 1895, he threw caution to the winds and led more than a thousand men in a dawn raid on the Royal Niger Company's headquarters at Akassa. Arriving on 29 January with between forty and fifty canoes, equipped with heavy guns, Koko captured the base with the loss of some forty lives, including twenty-four Company employees, destroyed warehouses and machinery, and took about sixty white men hostage, as well as carrying away a large quantity of booty, including money, trade goods, ammunition and a quick-firing gun. Koko then sought to negotiate with the Company for the release of the hostages, his price being a return to free trading conditions, and on 2 February he wrote to Sir Claude MacDonald, the British consul-general, that he had no quarrel with the Queen but only with the Niger Company. Despite this, the British refused Koko's demands, and more than forty of the men were then ceremoniously eaten. http://www.tunezmediablog.com/2016/08/do-you-know-of-nigerian-king-that-ate.html?m=1 4 Likes 7 Shares

Sleekydee: It's a pitiable dismal pismal. It's regrettably lubricious that white folks, who explored the continents of the black descendants, met their their unfortunate water-low, in a cannibalistic dismay. This news is shocking and apologetic! Let me quickly say that the people of the federal republic of Nigeria are throwing their weights against this hullabaloo. I must say that Nigerian people and the microscopic few of the deltans, who witnessed the horrible calamity, are those masquerading as the avengers... they imbibe the culture of feeding as vultures in quest for their freedom, planted a rotten luck with a continuous pollution of their own vicinity. But when a crafty man buried himself, he struggle in idiocy. I am not bamboozling you with highfalutin, I am only taking an elephant stand to discredit the man-eat-man attitudes, as recorded in the deltan region. Working with the global understanding within the pool of the western education, I hereby remind the chiefs and those wearing the traditional ornaments as bangles in that region to quickly decipher that those illicit actions, from the younger folks are only ephemeral to the nation building [img]http://2.bp..com/-D8a9eowmlb4/Ufd0J_tZqcI/AAAAAAAAJ8g/NXM3knXTh1M/s1600/patrick+obahiagbon.png[/img] 194 Likes 13 Shares |

Unless this history lesson was passed down by our Nigerian ancestors, you can shove it down the toilet. If this history lesson, was told/passed down by the colonialists/slave takers, then they, as usual, have added salt and maggi to make themselves look good. 2 Likes |
