It wasnt Frederick William Koko Mingi VIII alone who ate 40 white men.
The abducted white men were ceremoniously eaten by the Nembe warriors.
The British war ships sacked Koko Mingi and he ran to the hinterlands where he died years later.

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. grin

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 grin

TunezMediaTV:
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.

This is to the "Delta state environmental protection agency" in particular and all other related bodies. Please for the sake of the generation yet unborn, lands owners and investors or would be investor(s) in the twin towns of ORUWHORUN and ARAGBA in Udu LGA of delta state, We call on all relevant authorities to check the activities of sand dredgers, whose operations are causing serious havoc and untold environmental hardship to residents and visitors alike. A visit to some of their numerous sites in the company of my business partners while searching for lands to locate/site our factory leaves everyone in the team/entourage awed and speechless, seeing the vast level of wanton destruction and environmental degradation perpetuated by just some few elements who are supposed to be sons of the soil and their collaborators.
An on-the-site findings reveals that they (dredgers) neither carried out any form of Enviromental Impact Assesment EIA nor care about the effect of their activities on the surrounding houses, some of which are at the verge of collapsing. Also none of them (dredging operator or businessmen) have any form of landed property or investment within the vicinity of their nefarious operation.
As a Nigerian and a deltan, I believe it is everyone's responsibility to watch out for our neighbors, neighborhood and the Enviroment. Hence my using this wonderful forum. I promised some of the residents I spoke with that I will revisit the sites and also help them pass their plea to the relevant authorities through wherever legal means possible. Please Nairalander help repost this until justice is done. Thanks
