Malcolm X And His Visit To Nigeria In The 1960s With Pic by keentola(m): 12:35pm On Oct 08, 2019 |
Malcolm X , originally born
Malcolm Little, was a notorious
African-American hooligan who
later became a world known
human right activist and Islamic
leader.
Malcolm X visited Nigeria on two
occasions, one in 1959 and the
other in 1964. His first visit to
Nigeria in 1959 was to arrange a
tour for Elijah Muhammad, the
leader of ‘ Nation of Islam‘, a black
Muslim organization in America.
Malcolm X’s second visit to
Nigeria was in 1964. During this
visit, he rendered a beautiful and
brilliant speech at the Trenchard
Hall in University of Ibadan . Also,
at a reception held at the
Students’ Union hall for Malcolm X
by the Muslim Students’ Society,
the Yoruba name ‘ Omowale‘ which
literally means ‘the child has come
home’ was bestowed upon him. At
a press conference Malcolm
addressed when he arrived in New
York, he said the reception given
to him by students in Nigeria was
one of the highest honours he had
ever received in his life. 2 Likes

Malcolm X was very happy and
proud of the black race throughout
his stay in Nigeria. In a letter he
wrote after leaving Lagos for
Accra, he said, “ I arrived in Accra
yesterday from Lagos, Nigeria. The
natural beauty and wealth of
Nigeria and its people are
indescribable. It is full of
Americans and other whites who
are well aware of its untapped
natural resources. The same
whites, who spit in the faces of
blacks in America and sic their
police dogs upon us to keep us
from “integrating” with them, are
seen throughout Africa, bowing,
grinning and smiling in an effort to
“integrate” with the Africans —
they want to “integrate” into
Africa’s wealth and beauty. This is
ironical.” He furthered “I spoke at
Ibadan University in Nigeria, Friday
night, and gave the true picture of
our plight in America, and of the
necessity of the independent
African nations helping us bring
our case before the United
Nations. The reception of the
students was tremendous. They
made me an honorary member of
the “Muslim Students Society of
Nigeria,” and renamed me
“Omowale,” which means “the
child has come home” in the
Yoruba language. ” https://oldnaija.com/2017/05/31/malcolm-xs-visit-to-nigeria-in-1959-and-1964/ 1 Like

POINT OF CORRECTION,
MALCOLM X WAS NEVER A
GANG STAR AND NEVER WAS
HE NOTORIOUS. HE WAS A
PETTY THIEF WITH TWO OF
HIS FRIENDS, LIKE MOST
BLACK YOUTHS OF THE
DEPRESSION PERIOD IN USA,
HE DODGED CONSCRIPTION
INTO THE WORLD WAR A
COMPULSORY DUTY FOR
PEOPLE OF HIS AGE THAT
TIME BECAUSE HE DID NOT
BELIEVE IN SUPPORTING THE
WHITE MAN. HE DID SOME
RUNS IN PEDDLING DRUGS
AND GAMBLING. IN ALL HE
NEVER KILLED ANYBODY NOR
WAS HE WANTED FOR SERIOUS
CRIME OR OFFENCES. HE AND
SHORTY HIS FRIEND WERE
JAILED FOR NON VIOLENT
BURGLARY CASE MAINLY
BECAUSE THEY WERE BLACKS,
THE WHITE MEMBERS OF THE
TEAM WERE ABSOLVED OF THE
CRIME DUE TO COLOUR
DIFFERENCE. FROM THE
PRISON HE BECAME A MUSLIM
AND AFTER BEING GRANTED
BAIL., HE JOINED ‘NATION OF
ISLAM’ OF WHICH HE ROSE TO
PROMINENCE BECAUSE OF HIS
ORATORY SKILL AND HARD
LINE STAND AGAINST WHITE
SUPREMACY LAWS AND
ACTIVITIES. HE LEFT NATION
OF ISLAM DUE TO WHAT HE
BELIEVED WAS ANTI ISLAMIC
BEHAVIOR OF MOHAMMED
ELIJAH THE MOVEMENT’S
LEADERS TO FOUND HIS OWN
PRESSURE GROUP. HE
TRAVELED TO AFRICA
(INCLUDING NIGERIA), ASIA
EUROPE AND MANY COUNTIES
IN THE WORLD TO GARNER
SUPPORT FOR EQUALITY OF
ALL RACES IN USA WHICH THE
WHITE SUPREMACY GROUPS
LIKE KU KLUX KLAN (KKK),
THE JEWS AND OTHERS
BENEFITING FROM USA RACIAL
SEGREGATION. THEY ALL
WANTED TO ELIMINATE HIM
FOR HIS RISING PERSONAE
AND SEEMINGLY ABILITY TO
SUCCEED IN HIS QUEST. THUS
THE FBI AND CIA IN
CONJUNCTION WITH SOME
DISGRUNTLE MEMBERS OF
NATION OF ISLAM MADE
SEVERAL ASSASSINATION
ATTEMPTS AGAINST HIM. HE
WAS WAS FINALLY MURDERED
AT AUDUBON BALLROOM
WHILE DELIVERING A SPEECH
TO HIS GROUP ORGANIZATION
OF AFRICAN AND AMERICAN
UNION (OAAU) BY SOME
MEMBERS OF NATION OF
ISLAM SPONSORED BY FBI
AND CIA. HE IS MORE
INFLUENTIAL TO SPEEDY
ABOLITION OF SEGREGATION
AND RACISM IN USA THAN
MARTIN LUTHER KING BUT
OUT OF DELIBERATE
MISINFORMATION AND
ATTEMPT TO OBLITERATE HIS
NAME AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO
USA GROWTH AND
DEVELOPMENT IS HISTORY
WAS BEING DOWNPLAYED AND
SYSTEMATICALLY CORRUPTED.
THANK GOD TODAY, THERE IS
RENAISSANCE OF PROMOTION
AND CELEBRATION OF
ALHADJI MALIK SHABBASH
(MALCOLM-X LITTLE) IN THE
USA AND WORLD OVER!. HE
WAS THE MAIN INFLUENCE ON
OUR OWN FELA ANIKULAPO
