Nigeria is a typical example of how Christians and ethnic minorities are systematically cleansed from the northern parts of the country but the journalists, media houses and social media outlets such as this would rather sweep it under the carpet because it is not politically correct to admit that it is happening in our country. The funny thing is that the so called liberals are the first ones to preach tolerance only when it suits them. They cannot tolerate worldviews that are contrary to theirs, they would either ban you or restrict you from bringing your points to light.
It is indeed sad

OLAADEGBU:


I doubt it that the liberal left and the mainstream media will protest for the causes of the persecuted Christians and minorities in Iraq. This is proof that liberals and Obama together with Muslims would be happy that this fact does not come to light. Hypocrites.
It is really disturbing that situations like this still takes place today like in the bible days and many centuries after it. Public display of offenders like hard criminals just because they profess Christ and then they are publicly killed. Pls where did dis take place and wats the story. May God help we that have the privilege to profess Christ without public abuse use it to fulfil the expansion of the kingdom. Amen

Culture / Re: Comparing Slave Numbers from Bight of Benin and Bight of Biafra from 1400 - 1865 by blueskies(f): 9:02pm On Jan 26, 2017
Funjosh:

Yea, dats wat I tried to ask but nobody has been able to answer. I think someone mentioned from the other thread that it cud av been as a result of the shallow nature of the ocean in the bight of benin that prevented ships from sailing thru it or something




if i may get your point and question, something must have been the reason while Yoruba slaves were not been exported at the time other part of Africa are been shipped to the new world, does it mean the Yoruba were well organized and strong and could resist the slave masters

bigfrancis21:


From my research, primarily the Kingdom of Oyo wars and the fall of the Oyo kingdom is one reason for this. The Oyo wars provided the bulk of Yoruba slaves, primarily war captives or sometimes entire villages were ransacked and everyone sold, at the time slavery was fast winding down. Yoruba land did not participate in slavery until this time, as you can see from the table that exports from the Lagos ports were 0 from 1400 until 1751, same for Badagri and Epe ports until 1726 we begin to see exports from both ports. As for numbers, my guess would be that the late entrance of Nago slaves into slavery, coupled with the fact that slavery had already been abolished may not have allowed enough time for Yoruba slaves to be exported in larger numbers compared to Akan, Congolese, Angolan, Igbo slaves etc. those for which trading had begun since the 1400s.
Ok, so the occurence of war in Oyo kingdom, was one of the major instruments that gave rise to slave trade in yoruba land as at then, It means were it not for the Oyo wars, there wudnt av been any slave trade among the yorubas. Why is this so when slaves were taken from other parts of nigeria and africa even without war? And why did slave trade happen in later years among the yorubas as compared to others that started way early.
I'v always had an interest in history and wud b glad to learn some from here smiley

I wud like to ask a question. What was the reason behind the late and smaller numbers of yoruba slaves captured and transported to the new world as compared to others?

Its not a bad thing if u loose a debate, u can alwys come back some other tym, but repeating wat u'v said a thousand tyms and posting pictures over and over again doesn't prove anything. It jst proves how weak and unintelligent u guys are in cognitive and factual point debate. Your oponents av actually beaten u guys hands-down with proves and real points like dey'v done in similar topics. The rest u guys are doin is makin empty and unintelligent noise, well I know u'r trying to 'protect' ur people lyk ur username says but you can alwys come back nxt tym ok, dats if u av real solid points and facts like d oponents alwys have.

Literature / Re: Soyinka Threatens To Exit Nigeria by blueskies(f): 10:54am On Dec 06, 2016
middlebelter:
It is very clear that many of the young men and women making comments here do not have a good knowledge of the man, Prof. Wole Soyinka, some of them were either to young to know when he won the nobel price or were not yet born and unfortunately their fathers did not tell them his story.
The man Soyinka hates injustice, you can't take it away from him. A man in his 80s is certainly a grand father and should be respected.
Prof should see all the negative comments about his person as one of the downside of social media. It does not imply that Nigerians does not appreciate his person and contribution.
Most of the young men on social media rattling our Prof should kindly desist from it. South Africans will never disparage Mandela or Desmond Tutu they way we are doing to Wole Soyinka.
. Many of them dnt think deep and ar full of unreasonable sentiments, dey jst luk for any opportunity to criticise one who is more xposed and enlightened without takin out time to reason along with wat may av made him say such. I think he was tryin to protect d gud interest of some pple and tackle injustice. He has made positive impacts, if dey want to criticise notable pple, dey shd do so to those destroyin d image and morals of our youths and d country's future
