those of us who say colonization was such a long time ago obviously do not know the lasting impacts of it.

A friend told me of a village in delta state called forcado, a village rich in oil in riverine area.....

forcado is a Portuguese word for forced.

these colonizers went as far as renaming our towns to their name!

sane thing they did in south Africa - Johannesburg isn't an African name it's Dutch. they wanted to claim South Africa is New Netherlands.... or similar

Africa must resist neocolonization.

Forcados means forced or enslaved. That was where Ika slaves were bought from their Benin and Itsekiri masters for onward exportation to plantations in Americas and Europe.
