So with all the juju in Nigeria, white men still came here and successfully took our people as slaves?
Nawa oo

actually they did not take them, they bought them

Interesting thread @ op. There is one slave bank in Owhe, Isoko north. Interesting to see things like these but wish it never happened.

ednut1:
they came with weapons like guns, warships and cannon. Juju cant stop those. Juju in short is a scam. Based on hearsay and fear. If juju real babalawo for command the oyinbo back

You don't know history brother, gun alone cannot win war, they were sold by other blacks (chiefs) in exchange for something as low as mirror, comb, mug and some fake jewelry etc

. I pray you will have encountered with Chief Sunday Igboho or go and have sex with Babalawo"s wife you will know that there is (Magun )thunderbolt. You be small pikin.

And how do you know this? Let me tell you what's going on at the moment. There is a whole movement going on right now with an increasing number of people who descended from enslaved Africans wanting and looking to move back to Africa. They are moving to places like Tanzania, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal and the likes. You have Black people from America, UK, Caribbean, and beyond wanting to repatriate back to Africa. Things are bad in Nigeria I know but some other African countries are not doing too badly.

I pray you get to the white man's land. You will come to realize that the oyibos many of you worship do not want you in their countries and they will make it perfectly clear once you get there. So brace yourself because you will be exchanging one set of problems for a different set of problems.

At least Nigeria is not among the country they ever wished to be moved back to.
They listen to news u know?

Freestainworld:
Those who where shipped at the point of no returning are now better than us because they never returned to this God's forsaken land.

No they are not...they suffered immeasurably till they died. Those you are referring to are their great great grand children. I pray that you don't experience what true slavery is. You would never make this your statement.

Only if our people know that these were the children of Judah taken into captivity.

900warriorz:
The same whites that trafficked us as slaves joined the southern and northern protectorate and named it Nigeria

More reason why we should end up this contraption called NIGERIA.

Henceforth you are now appointed as the commander in chief of the armed forces of southern Nigeria

I recommend these 3 books to all Southern Nigeria warriors
*How Europe underdeveloped Africa.-Walter Rodney

*Rached of the earth-fanz fanon
*How nations fail-(forgotten)

In Summary, the point of no return is a place where slaves were shipped off to an unknown destination during the slave trade era. It is an Island in Badagry called the Gberefu Island. It is surrounded by the lagoon on one and the Atlantic on the other side. You can only access this island via a boat.

Thousands of Slaves were shipped off from this Island. It is one of the most popular slave centres in the world. I present to you the original slave route and the point of no return. It hosts a well known as the attenuation well, anyone that drinks from the water will lose their memory. The slaves were forced to drink the water before heading to the point of no return. This is probably one of the reasons why it was difficult for the slaves to fight the slave masters or escape during the trip.

Na wa o! Our great grand parents had really suffered in the wicked hands of the White. I wish I had the power to turn back the hand of time and face those slave masters and exterminate them all

Wa pon Gbagi

Welcome to Badagry...

travelwaka:
This was where slavery started in Nigeria

Slavery has been in Nigeria since unknown period, only transatlantic slave trade operated in Badagry, that different with slavery that had been in existence for long before the commencement of slave trade.

. Their is a reason for every one to in this world. In every place you find yourself, your character matters a lot. The whites are wicked,likewise the blacks. In this jungle we are now, we don't tolerate other tribe. How do you want whites people yo tolerate blacks?

Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves!!. Some even said they prefer to have been enslaved. What a pity!!

Europeans did not first come to Africa for slave trade. They couldn't have because Africa was fairly economically better than Europe until Europeans destroyed our social order upon their arrival.

Initially, Europeans came for legitimate trade in things such as gold, ivory, grain, spices, not slave trade because there was no such thing as slave trade in Africa before Europeans arrived. The said items and many others had been supplied to Europeans by Africans called MOORS who first crossed to Europe from African hinterland. For centuries, Europeans had been trying to figure out where the moors brought the items from, and from about the early 1400's Europeans (Portugal) learned how to go to sea and finally figured out that the items were bought from West Africa. Then followed Spain.

Arriving to Africa they met a very seren, humane, honest people with little military development in terms of ammunition.

The first slaves were not abducted, rather they were hired as INDENTURED labourers which was also a method of getting workforce in Europe at that time. Many were hired by the Portuguese and after serving for a couple of years did return to Africa or even chose to live in Europe. Yes, they were already black people in Europe before the Atlantic slave trade but they were not slaves as is known today.

Fast track.....

When the Europeans discovered the Americas, they found themselves in a situation where they require large workforce to farm the vast land there.

In about 1492, Christopher Columbus "discovered" America and the Spanish king and the reigning pope that sponsored his vogage began tricking large workforce (both WHITES and black) to the Americas to farm the land. Yes, white people were also slaves. It was later in about 1645 or there about that a British judge passed a judgement in court which said that whites can redeem themselves as indentured labourers after working for a master for a while but that blacks and their children will forever be slaves.............I am kind of getting ahead of myself.

Back to acquisition of slaves in Africa.....

Scarcity of workforce led them to Africa. To get the needed labourers, Europeans deviced so many tricks to lure African kings to turn over young people as work force. Nobody was bought and sold!. They weren't even a currency to buy and sell anything, so the talk of trade is out of the question.

How then did Europeans get the slaves?

The slaves were initially mainly felons and prisoners of wars and criminals who were unwanted by society. African leaders began turning over these unwanted people over to Europeans in exchange for items such as mirror, wine or things of that nature. I have a fairly accurate BBC (British) source. It reads; "rich and powerful Africans were able to demand a variety of consumer articles and in some places even gold for captives, who may have been acquired through warfare or by other means, initially without massive disruption to African societies.

However, by the mid-17th century the European demand for captives, particularly for the sugar plantations in the Americas, became so great that they could only be acquired through initiating raiding and warfare.

There is no doubt that some societies preyed on others to obtain captives in exchange for European firearms, in the belief that if they did not acquire firearms in this way to protect themselves, they would be attacked and captured by their rivals and enemies who did possess such weapons." END OF QUOTE.

No matter how many felons turned over by African kings but it wasn't enough because crime rate in Africa was very low. Europeans then began providing arms and other incentives to African kings to wage war against their neighbors. Example; if Britain were to arrive Benue State in Nigeria today, they'll provide guns to governor Ottom to solve his need against the herdsmen ravaging his state. France in turn would arm the governor of neigboring Katsina state. So, over time the whole African continent descended into ethnic wars. More wars meant more prisoners of war. And more prisoners of war meant more slaves.

Many African kings were against slave trade but they won't tell you this.

In 1526, king Alfonso, (I believe in today's Angola) revolted against slave trade in his kingdom.

In 1720, king Trudo in (Dahomey) today's Benin republic revolted against slave trade.

In 1630, Queen Nzinga in today's Angola revolted the Portuguese against slavery in her kingdom.

After the initial honest exchange of felons, the most part of what we know as slaves were gotten through trickery, coercion, war, threat, kidnapping.

Nobody was "trading" a human being in Africa before the arrival of Europeans. Through inducement by Europeans, slavery evolved and later took a life of it's own having Africans participating without even realizing what the White man did with the slaves. British Mungo Park had captured slaves along the river Niger and he said someone among the natives asked him "what do you do with the slaves in your country? Do you eat them?"

Our kings and elites were used just as most of them are still used today. Then they gave us an education to keep us blind and to have you thank them for enslaving you.

Wow... Powerful and informative... I see Africans liberating themselves from mental slavery it's only a matter of time.

The name Badagry must have been derived from BAD AGREEMENT

Sometimes my blood boil with rage when I read and hear about the cruel things the white men did to some of my ancestors, it makes me wanna do em something wicked and brutal. But I always remind myself that the generation of the white folks that committed the acts have all been wiped out by the cold hands of death.

How do you know the temperature of the hand of death, have you ever feel it?
Me, i think it's hot, lol.

Kudos!to you, sometimes I just look at some people posting rubbish I want to Japa to oversea,I want to leave this shithole country I will laugh at them it's bcuz they haven't be there before by the time they go there and see what whites are doing with blacks they will have a rethink.I know Nigeria is passing through a lot but we need to join hand and make it better we don't need to run away from our challenges if not we will come back and meet
it where we left it,we can pay the supreme price for generation to come, and our children will reap the benefits.Some people pay supreme price for the independence we are enjoying today.Any blacks found himself in whites land is like a thorn in their flesh.they hate blacks with passion and they make it clear to you,that they don't want you.



NB:For me oo I always just go there for vacation or tourism and f.uck hell out of those whites olosho.And return back to my hood no time.

Akwamkpuruamu:
If not that my grandfather was very lucky to have been recalled from Porto Novo as a slave, cos he was the last batch before the abolishment of slave trade, I would have been in the USA.

It hurts seeing myself in this British business centre

Millions of black Americans living in the ghetto and dying from gun violence daily so be careful what you wish for. I don't know if this kind of comments come from ignorance and lack of exposure or people trying to be silly for cheap NL likes.
