The overwhelming majority of enslaved Africans taken to various parts of the world had gloomy fates, while some were able to position themselves to have a tolerable or decent existence at least compared to other enslaved individuals. There existed even in a smaller group that was lucky enough to have been adopted by Royals of other nations offering them a life of comfort.

In this article, I’m going to be discussing about some of the African Slaves Who Became Royals of Foreign Nations, the lives of these enslaved Africans who were either taken care of by royal family members of foreign nations or became a part of the royal family themselves.

This article is not anyway intended to celebrate that enslaved Africans were accepted and embraced by the nobility of other nations but it’s simply a work documenting the journey of a small group of Africans that managed to survive and thrive in the highest positions of human civilization, with this in mind let’s begin.
So here is 5 African Slaves Who Became Royals of Foreign Nations

Omoba Aina

The first African on our list of African Slaves Who Became Royals of Foreign Nations is Omoba Aina also more properly known as Sara Forbes Bonetta. Omoba Aina was a Yoruba princess who was later orphaned due to warfare in her region.

The Fon people of Dahomey had been at war with their former Yoruba overlords for quite some time and during the life of princess Omoba, Dahomey gained the advantage over some Yoruba kingdoms.

In 1848 the Dahomey army invaded her region and kill her parents and put the young princess in Chains. The Dahomey ruler King Ghezo at the time had Omoba as a slave in his court but was planning on executing her.

The British during his time in an attempt to repackage their image and position themselves suggested the so-called legitimate trade which was supposed to be an alternative to the chaos of the present slave trade of the time. This was largely motivated by Britain’s desire to have more influence on local matters and expand imperial rule rather than any moral ambition.

Before she was executed Captain Frederick Forbes of the Royal Navy intervened, convincing King Ghezo to instead give her to Queen Victoria of England. Captain Forbes then renamed her Sarah Forbes Bonetta after his naval ship.

In England Omoba Aina met the queen who was impressed by her exceptional intelligence as she excelled in her education, over time Queen Victoria grew very fond of Omoba Aina and raised her as her goddaughter allowing her access to Windsor Castle regularly.

Sabac el Cher

The next African on our list of African Slaves Who Became Royals of Foreign Nations is Sabac el Cher was a young Nubian from Kordofan Sudan. His parents died during a rebellion in Nubia and he was then enslaved and taken to Cairo, Egypt where he received a traditional Egyptian education. Sabac was brought to Germany in 1843 by Prince Albert of Prussia who received him as a gift from the Egyptian viceroy Mehmet Ali while on his travels to North Africa. In Germany he was named Sabac el Cher which means good morning, he was given this name because that was the only Arabic word the Prussian Prince knew.

Sabac fared pretty well under the tutelage of Prussian royalty staying in the palace he grew to embrace Prussian life and culture, he later went on to marry a local woman and had a son named Gustav who became a respected soldier and an imperial bandmaster. Upon the death of Prince Sabac was elevated to the position of administrator of the palace where he served until his death.

Anton Wilhelm Amo is said to have come from the Nzema people of Western Ghana. At a very young age, he was reportedly taken to Amsterdam by the Dutch West India Company.

Posted by Daniel. on Mar 10, 2021 I would really appreciate it if you guys read through. I’m actually in my early twenties, not that I’m too old for marriage anyway. One of my top clients who I’m trying to polish out a business with, went ahead to arrange a mini impromptu by fire by force relationship for me and his brother. Like betrothing someone to someone else without their full consent. It was a man’s arrangement cause, I was surprised how they all came to that agreement. I tried breaking up with him the first time, and he told his brothers about it. Guilt almost finished me cause, I was blamed for the excuse I brought up. His uncle who is in charge of the contract brought us back together again. The main issue now is that I want to break up with the guy once and for all but, I don’t want to hurt him and I still have to save the contract at hand. The guy is very much attached to me already, and I won’t fake it, I’m equally beginning to feel butterflies in my stomach. I want to go about it in a very simple way. So that at the end, we all go our separate ways happy. I told him my own part of the story and my reasons for not wanting to be in a relationship with him. I’m not ready for any relationship now, and I don’t like him. Most importantly, I don’t want to chop his money while deceiving him. He is still not accepting reality but, I’m sure with time, he’ll move on. PS: His uncle isn’t aware of this yet and I begged him not to tell anyone. Any Idea Is Highly Welcomed, Serious And Mature Minds Please. Thank You.

AgricultureRe: Fisherman Breaks The Brown Trout Record For 55 Years, Caught Biggest Fish Ever by Emptoluwani: 4:23pm On Mar 10, 2021
AmeLonRo:
Last Wednesday Robbie Dockter was catching fish in the river Marias in Montana. He thought something snackled his lure. He knew that he had crouched into something big when it started moving upriver.
“I thought I had a brown about ten pounds finally, but then she rolled into my lamp and we realized it was big and bigger than any previous” Dockter told the Independent Record.
Dockter and his daughter fishing with him on the end of the day landed a Montana record of brown trout with a weight of 32.43 pounds, a 28.5-inch circle of 37 cm in length, and a state record of 55 years of age.
E.H. Peck Bacon’s old record in Wade Lake caught in 1966 was 29 pounds.
Dockter, known for the large truth, fished an ultralight fishing rod and a 4-pound test on a stretch of river. When it began upstream, Dockter told the Record that the brown trout “had done whatever it wanted.”
He fought the fish 15 minutes before he finally managed to lead the fish downstream. The net was handed to his daughter Sierra and he scooped it up.
The docker (person employed in a port to load and unload ships) reminded Sierra that the 25-pound salmon that he had caught in Tiber Reservoir might be larger.
The fish weighed on their scale 32 pounds back to the truck. In the meantime, Sierra went online and found that the state record was 29 pounds.
“I called my wife and said I just caught the government record and she didn’t believe me,” Dockter told the record.
The following day, they met a game guard who authentically saw the breed trout at Christiaens Meat & Grocery in Valier weighed in a certified scale.
“It’s a truly humbling experience and I think it demonstrates the existence of monsters, and it is evidence that you never know and that it only takes one cast,” Dockter said to the Record. “Fishing is so cool this way.”

NnadiClinton:
SAYS EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL WILL NOT STOP THE RECOVERY OF IMO COMMONWEALTH



An Imolite, Mr Paul Ihunanya Ezeafurukwe, has disclosed Imo state’s government resolve to recover the looted common wealth of the state, from the immediate past administration of Rochas Okorocha.

“EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL WILL NOT STOP THE RECOVERY OF IMO COMMONWEALTH

One thing Okorocha and his men should quit doing is to recklessly remind Imolites of their situation and how much more they looted our commonwealth during Okorocha’s unproductive 8 years in office just to emotionally blackmail Imolites thereby currying sympathy and pitch them against Gov. Hope Uzodimma and his recovery moves.



It has become obvious even to Okorocha and his men that until they return what they stole from the state, they won’t enjoy the goodwill they crave for and this has left them in a state of dilemma. They’re equally aware that Gov. Hope Uzodimma is more than serious in the quest to recover all and he is not giving in to their distractions. Hence, they want to arm twist him with the people.



Rochas Okorocha and his hallelujah boys are the biggest clowns if they still think Imolites are interested in their circus of play or still living in their tall dreams of being the puppeteer and Imolites puppets after what they did to us during the ill-fated administration. Anything Okorocha sparks off anger and retribution and if not for the legal and mature approach of the governor towards this issue, Okorocha would’ve been clamped down by angry Imolites. His free movement in and out of Imo state is as a result of the diplomatic approach deployed by Gov Hope Uzodimma to recover our commonwealth. Outside that, Imolites in their numbers would have mobbed Rochas and his urchins ( I guess we have not forgotten the Uche Onyeaguocha and his airport saga)



Let us reinstate our resolve and state it clearly to Okorocha and his boys parading all sorts of images and crooked piece of writing that no amount of emotional blackmail can turn the people against Gov. Hope Uzodimma or his quest to recover back what belongs to the people. Rather than wasting their time on childish comical conspiracies, they should count all that belongs to state and start returning them immediately.



Imolites should disregard the wailings of the wailers as it is mischievous and another ploy to get their attentions off the recovery of their commonwealth but continue to trust and believe that Gov. Hope Uzodimma means well for all and sundry and his style of recovery is not vindictive or an act of witch-hunt but one done through due process and for the benefit of all.
PoliticsRe: Fg To Reduce Fuel Price Below N100 Per Litre - Daily Advent by Emptoluwani: 4:14pm On Mar 10, 2021
Jakasibo:
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Ita Enang has revealed that the federal government is planning to reduce fuel price to N100 per litre.

According to Enang, the federal government has also concluded plans to hold a national conference on integrating artisanal/modular petroleum refinery operations to improve the capacity of the products and bring down prices of petroleum products.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Ita Enang, disclosed this at a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja.

In collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, the Presidency will hold the conference on March 16 and 17.

Mr. Enang noted that the summit’s outcome would help to crash the country’s prices of petroleum products. According to him, the conference will mobilise all Nigerian assets, including technologists, engineers, and other relevant disciplines, including those producing petroleum products at the creeks.

“As the cost of crude goes higher, the price of refined petroleum products goes higher, but if we refine these petroleum products in Nigeria, the cost will be very low.

The intendment of the conference is to mobilise these resources so that we can bring the prices of refined petroleum products down to below N100 per litre.”

PoliticsRe: Sheikh Gumi: Bandits Feel Everyone Is Against Them by Emptoluwani: 1:56pm On Mar 10, 2021
kennyify88:
Controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad
Gumi, on Wednesday suggested ways the
Federal Government can resolve the
challenge of banditry in the North.
Gumi said the Federal Government should
adopt the non-kinetic approach in tackling
banditry and insecurity in the Northern part
of the country.
In an exclusive interview with DAILY POST,
the cleric explained that the use of kinetic
force was responsible for the current
insecurity issue in the North.
He stressed that bandits feel, “everybody is
against them,” hence they are vicious and
aggressively fighting for survival.
According to Gumi: “Honestly speaking,
there has to be a synergy of armed forces
acting towards tackling insecurity. They
should adopt the non-kinetic approach
which should be about 80 percent because
these people are ordinary Nigerians.
“Government should meet and dialogue
with them because they are ready to listen.
If the Government can apply the non-kinetic
approach, it would have taken care of about
90 percent of the problem. So the 10
percent is where the kinetic comes into play.
“The use of kinetic force is what led to what
we are having now. They think it’s an ethnic
cleansing where everybody is against them,
and they are fighting for survival, very
vicious and aggressive.”
States like Niger, Zamfara, Kebbi, Katsina and
Kaduna have witnessed the sting of banditry
lately.
Several students and residents have been
abducted and a few killed during their
operations in these states.
Despite their abduction, the students have
been released.

Gray123:
New cases fell as much as 25% in the week ended Feb. 7 and 23% in the week ended Feb. 21, before plateauing last week, according to a Reuters analysis of U.S. state and county reports.
The country logged an average of over 68,000 new cases per day for the week ended Feb. 28, with deaths averaging at 2,055 per day. (Open tmsnrt.rs/2WTOZDR in an external browser to see a related graphic with state-by-state details.)
“I remain deeply concerned about a potential shift in the trajectory of the pandemic. The latest CDC data continue to suggest that recent declines in cases have leveled off at a very high number,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Walensky said she was alarmed by some local governments rolling back restrictions on masks and social distancing just as more infectious variants of the virus are spreading. “We stand to completely lose the hard-earned ground we have gained,” she said.
Twenty-nine out of 50 states reported more new infections last week compared to the previous seven days, whereas only seven states in the prior week reported weekly increases, according to the Reuters analysis.
New York had the highest number of new cases per 100,000 residents last week, followed by New Jersey and South Carolina.
As of Sunday, 15% of the U.S. population has received at least one dose of a vaccine and 7.5% has received two doses, according to the CDC. The country administered an average of 1.6 million shots per day last week.
Deaths linked to COVID-19 rose 5.5% in the week ended Feb. 28 to 14,387. Cumulatively, over 513,000 people have died from the virus in the United States, or one in every 636 residents.
The average number of COVID-19 patients in U.S. hospitals fell 15% to 52,000 last week, the lowest since early November, according to a Reuters tally.

okeyglm:
In less than two weeks after four police officers on duty were killed by unknown gunmen along the Idungdung checkpoint in Calabar Municipality Area Council, police have confirmed the killing of another two in Obubra by suspected Indegenous People of Biafra (IPOB), members.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer(PPRO), Irene Igbo, two rifles were also taken by the criminals while one of the officers was lying critically injured at an undisclosed medical facility.
Ugbo said base on the information gathered, the killers were shouting IPOB slogans when they approached the checkpoint before they open fire on their men.
She said they made attempt to burn down Nko Police station but were repelled by the police operatives on duty.
Unconfirmed reports said that the military checkpoint along the Obubra highway was also attacked by the suspected IPOB members,killing one of the soldiers at the checkpoint .
Some sections of the media had reported that six policemen were gunned down by the criminals, but police authority said only two of their personnel were killed during the attack.
Security situation seems to have taken another dimension in Cross River State with the continuous killings and taking the riffles of police officers on duties.
The PPRO said the Police Commissioner, Sikiru Akande had deployed mobile police officers to comb the affected areas, assuring that investigation is ongoing and will be made public once it’s completed.
