Actually, I feel pity for the dude. He's just one of millions of victims of the white man's lies. He's one of those who believe Africa's history began with colonialism.

That's not true. The colonial masters came for business while
missionaries came to spread the Gospel.

Stop spreading lies.
The same gospel they used to imprison the minds of slaves. I'm a Christian, I believe in the Bible, but I also recognize and admit to the fact that it was used as a weapon of oppression and mind control on Africans.

Mind you, in 2022, we are still dealing with ritual killings, human and animal sacrifices and kids still get chased from their villages after being labelled witches or wizards.

Why are writing in English..
Why not use the language your forefathers use??
Did our forefathers willingly opt for English abi it was forced upon them. It was a systemic process. They knew that I order to catch up with the change brought about by the enforcer, they must align with his culture, hence the adoption of English Language, clothing style, system of administration, etc.
If we weren't robbed of most of our traditional heritage including our language, we, mostly definitely, would have prioritized Our tribal language before any other.

She only help abolish the practice in one state in Nigeria out of the present 36. That means less than 1% of Nigerians were into that rubbish. Same area still victimize children till today, calling them witches and all sorts. She did not abolish the practice in Nigeria. A lot of tribes in Nigeria had and loved twins.

I met the only surviving twin saved by Mary Slessor over 100 years ago (Video)


Mary Slessor was a missionary posted from Scotland to Calabar in Nigeria by the Presbyterian Church in 1876. She also lived in Arochukwu Nigeria during her missionary work. Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins in Nigeria and she achieved this by saving a lot of twins either left in the bush to die or from their homes where their mothers hid them.
One of the twin babies Mary Slessor saved by herself before the killing of twins was finally abolished is Mgbeafor Okereke. I met her in her home in Amasu, Arochukwu, where I had an amazing interaction with her.

Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins in Calabar.....we the yoruba don't kill twins. So stop generalizing with that bullshits, as if twins were being killed all over nigeria......

You would have said the same thing if there was killing for money ritual and they stopped it.. How is killing of twins more barbaric than killing and extractibg body parts for money ritual..

Nigerians are barbaric and might have still been killing twins if they didn't stop it..

Everything the colonial masters changed positively or negatively, still have a lasting effects till date. That's why we are still unknowingly slaves to them.
anything associated with killing of twins happened in southern Nigeria and not all region ..

God help your brain. Do you know the damage these white people did to us and are still doing. Maybe Mary Slessor saved twins in your own tribe. I am Yoruba, we adore twins and even have a deity for twin children. Watch the video below. The white people you adore so much are out to exterminate you for your resources. Stop being stupid and

You folks are not really enlightened. What kind of mindset is this. They said you are black and evil and they are white as in the image of God. That's why you don't see anything good in you and you even think your God is white. Or is your Jesus nit white? Even though their religious leaders are kneeling before black gods/images in their religious dungeons. Lack or an hatred for knowledge is what most of you are suffering from.

I am equally perplexed. Most of our people are sick in the mind. The white people really damaged Africans for generations to come.

You're very correct about the tribe factor; since you travelled to the city you've stopped identifying with us. It is well though.

What you are seeing all over Africa is the effect of the damage they did. Can't you folks reason? And they have not leave Africa alone. They are behind many of the wars. They want Africans to keep fighting while they steal redources.

You forget say they colonized America?

Una just day spill trash.

Africa civilize my foot apart from Egypt where civilize again or maybe the wakanda stuff for Black panther day confuse you.

Don't be silly, you are just one of the many victims of western propaganda. It's really pathetic what centuries of brainwashing can do to a race of people, really sad embarassed.
All humans are equal, humans have been colonizing themselves since existence, The conquest of the Europeans just happen to be the latest and was documented.

Do you know that before the whites came Benin for example was way more civilized than even the most civilized European nation, with street lights, well-planned towns and cities. the whites marveled when they came to benin, got home and wrote stories of how they've discovered paradise on earth.

Do you know that Africa’s oldest known writing system dates back to over 6000 years ago. While on the other hand, Europe’s oldest writing dates back to 1400 BC, which was used by the Greeks yet largely derived from the Proto-Sinaitic, an old African script.

Have you heard about the empire of Mali and its indegenous Sankore university where people from all over the world including Europeans came to seek knowledge?

Have you heard about the empire of Songhai with its world renowned artisans, craftsmen? Do you know about the powerful Nubia kingdoms.

Before the Europeans came, Africa was doing exceptionally well with their own 100% indigenous political systems and was thriving.

Africans really need to know about their true history, not the one that was written by Europeans.

You get this wrong. It is true that some black communities were naked before coming of the white so also there are black societies that have a good and functional system before the white came. The developed blacks would have eventually taking their development to the others.
