This is still an unresolved argument. Who brought Christianity to Nigeria? The same set of people that bought our forefathers as slaves and tied them with chains or another set of people. This needs to be clarified because slave traders and oppressors cannot be the same people who brought the so called Salvation in Christ. You cannot serve both God and Lucifer at the same time because you cannot be a Catholic Priest and a Sango Priest at the same time.

I cannot talk about everywhere but in Benin Empire, early Portuguese that came to Benin didn't want slaves. They wanted spices. They brought Christianity.

But even traders of all sorts came with vicars/missionaries. Although with time the Catholic Church declared that blacks were closer to animals than humans. It gave slave traders the moral and religious backing to deal in slaves. I bet corruption in high places played a role there.

I hope you know these are pictures from movies, and that the movies weren't even about Igbo slaves.

This picture is from the 1950s. Nothing precolonial about it. Also (given the Era) it is unlikely that her parents were 'captives'.

I wish Africans who sold their fellow Africans to the Europeans, can rise up from the dead and see all this pic.

Where are the blood monies the made from selling themselves?

The houses, the built with the money, are the still standing?

Slave trade is not even a thing of the past; it is still going on.

Every people (continent) have their own shot coming, but Black mans own overshadows its good deeds.

Father God, the creator, if there is a way, we blacks wronged you, please pity and forgive us; we the current generation cant bear all this misery.

Point of correction, there was slave trade in every Region including The Yoruba, calabar and The hausa's. During that era there were no exceptions.











quote author=Frankdoz8 post=87122647]In period of slavery, any conspiracy, resistance or rebellion against the slave masters is punishable by death. Estimated half a million Igbo's died of their rebellious resistance as Igbo man does not easily submit to slavery. Olauda equano was a popular slave Igbo novelist who eventually bought his freedom and later settle in England. He became the best selling author in england after publishing his book on slavery, in his write up, he captures the slavery in Igbo land.[/quote]
