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

They did not forcefully carry our people. They use our people to carry our people. It is the chiefs and merchants that sold their own people to the white, people were selling their stubborn children. Our own people were the ones kidnapping their own kinsmen to sell to slavery to the white men.

The white slave merchants have their own contact men who are influential among the people, it is those contacts that arrange the slaves for them, they buy from parents, they have people who help them to kidnap just to ensure that anytime their white merchants arrives, there are slaves to carry away.

Even the babalawo you are talking about might have sold his children too.

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.

Lol... Such utterances though.

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.

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.

Think about what you just posted relating to post you made recently, I'm quoting it below. I was expecting more, but it's quite disappointing. To you it may be a joke but this is cyber bullying.

Nigerians, not the government, are the problem of Nigeria,” Architect Harry, says, after he carried out a social experiment in Abuja.
