Christistruth00: It is well known History that the Portuguese undermined African Rulers and Kingdoms that stood against the Slave Trade and supported their Rivals for power
Why do you think Oba Akitoye was chased off the the Throne of Lagos ?
It was because he restricted the Portuguese Slave Traders in Lagos and was ready to abolish the Slave Trade
At least that one happened in Nigeria so you cannot say you haven't heard the History
Even Oba Oluwole of Lagos that was blown to bits with Gunpowder Prince Kosoko was suspected to have a hand in it and Kosoko was backed by the Portuguese because he was the biggest Slave Trader in Lagos and their ally.
The fact is you either join and control the trade or you are killed off or enslaved yourself with all your family members. Then they find a willing puppet.
limitless777: You are absolutely on point. Just a few are ready to acknowledge this FACT. The black skin is a mystery in failure and horror. Take a look at how the bad, crude, and evil rulers of the country are being hailed by their very victims in millions. Just imagine that. Is there any African country better off?
Is everything ok with you? Wigwe do something na the whole black skin be your problem. Abi another big problem de for your head wey you not wan face?
How did he make this money? Probably from dead Nigerians whose families did not know they left an inheritance. That is one place the government must reform and audit annually. Also publish these details so the deceased relatives are aware.
See the former king of Oman. Does this one look like an Arab looks like today? He was the KING. He looks like an Ethiopian. If the old Arabs did not marry Turkish and Slaves from the Caucasus mountains all their kingships and rulers will be very black, even blacker than Nigerians. They will look like Sudanese. Even up to Iran.
HardMirror: they should make sure they call out our evil ancestors too and the arabs. That is all I am asking. Not ll this trick to collect money they will squander
Which evil ancestors? Which Arabs? Those black Arabs you see are the real Arabs I hope you know? Most of the slaves traded by the Arabs were sterilized so they couldn’t breed and the Arabs also enslaved other races that’s why you see them looking biracial. See a real Palestinian here. He’s not a descendant of slaves. Slavery is as old as time but no one on earth turned it into a racial and generational mass crime scene until Europe. You can even see most of those Arab kings the old ones are dark skinned but have been marrying White women for generations.
HardMirror: the problem I have with people like you is, you want to talk about the evil of the whites. How about the Africans killing each other? How about arabs. The problem is how it is made to look like whites invented slavery or were the only ones doing it. Why not demand justice for the thousands of souls African kings have used to do human sacrifices?
Whit people also kill each other, so do Arabs. I don’t see that justifying slavery of the kind meted on Africa at an industrial scale. You obviously don’t have the background or knowledge to discuss the transatlantic slave trade.
Which ever country left their country with empty ships filled with guns to come and raid Africa or people and natural resources must pay compensation to Africa and the enslaved who were enslaved for 400yrs. Never in the history of the world, had the world witnessed such evil on such scale. Stick to your level of understanding and the limitations of your education.
Kemi if you have to sell your soul to speak up against the right thing then you are in the wrong place. You have no right to speak on this, you are not Nigerian or African and neither are you a descendant of the enslaved.
HardMirror: the image you put up is not about slavery it is about conquering their lands. Those kings resisted. It is normal back then for empires to fight to capture more land.
Do you know that African empires were also conquering each other? There is no big deal in that. If you want to talk, why not tell me about the African kings other African kings killed too or captured.
They resisted and European society also conquered each other. That’s not a justification for carrying arms, entering a continent and enslaving it’s people.
DiamondsAreFore: I'll agree with u 100% that there are racist Christians. But Christ Himself was not racist.
I would like you to comment on this hadith and tell me where the source of the racism in the hadith comes from. Is it from the person who is regarded as the most important Muslim in the history of the world? Can you produce any Biblical verse of Christ saying anything as offensive as this?
Just imagine! What a Hadith! Is this one in the Quran? So you mean black people read this and it doesn’t make them do double take?
I like Arabs. They don’t fail to remind black Muslims that they are not one. But black Muslim keep forcing themselves on them. This one, if they give him money under religion to terrorize his own people he will do it for free sef. Now he is coming online to cry. He thought if he wear Muslim cap and marry one Almajiri that he has now become more Muslim than Arabs. He follow Arab traditional religion leave and insult his own to make mockery of himself.
jaxxy: A discovery doesn't mean people weren't not living there, it mean it was unknown to most of the world until it was made known by the discoverer.
Obviously humans lived almost everywhere on earth but some places were unknown and not on any ancient maps.
Thats why you don't see anybody coming to say we discovered Egypt or Israel or babylon. Those were already historically known locations.
Ok, I will come a discover your house very soon. When I take it over you can come and give this explanation
How can you discover a place where people already inhabited.
I still don’t know how that narration was forced on us.
A white discovered River Niger, meaning every Nigerian as at that time did not see the huge River Niger until the white man came.
The river was even called Niger in very ancient maps before slavery. Which is why I don’t have a problem with the country’s name. That must have been the rivers name, given by Africans. Africans were even called Niger after the river which some ignorants change it to racial slur. But America is named after a slave trader of the indegenous people. Those ones didn’t survive as long as Africans. Which is why they found their way to Africa.
Don’t mind that one, as I am now I am going to discover his village and claim it.
MaxInDHouse: So after the independence it's now 66 years that Nigeria got our independence abeg back then our people will run into hiding when they see the white man ship on the shore but today let America come with their ship and tell our people "we are taking you their as slaves" millions will die while struggling to enter the white man ship. WHY? Because they're please to go and work under the white man than under their own black rulers!😀
Of course people like you will enter. They are already instructing you how to kill yourself and you have no problem with it. What is slavery compared to death?
jaxxy: Slave trade is quite different from the colonial invasion/rule even tho related. The trade still happened.
Also Africa was not the only colony or country invaded by the west but how come they were the only ones forced to trade the brothers who they had already made many their slaves anyways?
Slave trade is not different from colonial rule. It is an extension of it. That is why we had to fight for independence also known as freedom. You are just arguing a moot point.
jaxxy: ure right ur King's kidnapped their brothers and handed them over to the Portuguese.
The same kings that were killed for resisting like the ones below. It was so bad that colonialists had to build forts to protect their kidnapping and themselves from Africans attacking to release their kin. Your logic and reasoning doesn’t make sense. A thief comes to steal with gun but claims his victim planned it, invited him and handed over to him all his valuables for mirror and biscuit.
OriOko88: Youre not making sense. Nigeria built those infrastructures you mentioned,as a country but were helped built by the oyinbos. Your fore fathers didn't discover oil before the White came, and nothing like education then too. The first storey building in badagry was built by oyinbos not ur fore fathers. Go sit down somewhere jor
Guy you are so enslaved. My forefathers built all the infrastructure in Nigeria, while still paying royalties to enslavers. The first story building in Badagry was built by Oyinbo or they used Nigerians to build a structure they lived in? Show me one structure they built which we are using till today despite being in Nigeria over 100yrs and compare it with what Nigerians built in 60yrs. They were in charge of all exports in Nigeria including slaves, yet were unable to turn Nigeria to heaven. Where is the evidence of all that money for over 100yrs in Nigeria? And so what if they discovered oil, till today, how has the oil benefitted Nigerians. Are we not still exporting it for kobo to them?
By the way, this black man was responsible for electricity. His invention was stolen by Thomas Edison and them and patented. EEru Oyinbo..
2mch: Yes, my forefathers built all the roads in my region. No White man built anything that lasted in SW except missionary schools. Which then use bread steal Nigeria resources. For your village, how many mansion Oyinbo build for you and your forefathers despite occupying your country for over 100yrs? Even Nigeria is not up to 100years and far more developed than how your White gods left it now.
jaxxy: The emboldened which u mentioned is the differentiator from thos backward and in darkness worshipping river and thunder so I'm happy u mentioned that part.
2ndly I said there was collision and that simply means the crime was by both sides agreeing to commit a crime and not that the white man was a saint. Both were criminals. I only told u to take accountability not looking at the white man's fault only or else u are playing to the victims mentality.
There was no collusion. No one authorized anyone to come to their country with guns and kidnap people into live long and ancestral servitude. You can’t claim collusion when only you have a deadly weapon. You lose all argument of innocence and collusion when you brandish a weapon as a negotiating tool.
OriOko88: Abeg. Go sit down. Ur fathers built tared road before the whites came?? Who gave ur fore fathers asphalt technology? Abegii. Don't be a clown. Your fathers in Yoruba land were living in huts with fire wood as light in the 17th century.
Oyinbo were living in plywood and also using firewood so what is this one talking about. Who built Lagos Ibadan expressway and other major roads and infrastructures in Nigeria? It’s actually Nigerians . Most of the roads, hospitals and schools you see today were built by Nigerians. Awo introduced universal education, free before Oyinbo. Yet you are saying they left Nigeria as heaven. When most people could not even afford the school they left. When politicians like Penkelemesi died, people had to donate money or adopt his kids so they attend school before Awo introduced free education.
Only roads in Lagos and roads leading to port na him concern Oyinbo. And let me tell you, there was segregation even in Lagos but we fought it and destroyed it. Anyway, you don’t have the ability to actually look around you!
OriOko88: Abeg mk I hear word. Who helped u built the roads. Did u fore fathers build any paved road before the whites came to Nigeria?? The first paved roads, railways and electricity were built by the white missionaries
Were your fore fathers using electricity before the Europeans came?? Be grateful to them for once
Yes, my forefathers built all the roads in my region. No White man built anything that lasted in SW except missionary schools. Which then use bread steal Nigeria resources. For your village, how many mansion Oyinbo build for you and your forefathers despite occupying your country for over 100yrs? Even Nigeria is not up to 100years and far more developed than how your White gods left it now.
