Who Was Mary Ann Shadd Cary?
Abolitionist Mary Ann Shadd Cary became the first female African American newspaper editor in North America when she started the Black newspaper The Provincial Freemen. Later in life, she became the second African American woman in the United States to earn a law degree.

Early Life
Mary Ann Shadd Cary was born Mary Ann Shadd on October 9, 1823, in Wilmington, Delaware. The eldest of 13 children, Shadd Cary was born into a free African American family. Her father worked for the abolitionist newspaper called the Liberator run by famed abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison and provided help to escaped enslaved people as a member of the Underground Railroad. Shadd Cary would grow up to follow in her father's footsteps. Along with her abolitionist activities, she became the first female African American newspaper editor in North America.

Shadd Cary was educated at a Quaker school in Pennsylvania, and she later started her own school for African Americans. After the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, she went to Canada with one of her brothers. Not long after, the entire Shadd family moved there. In 1852, Shadd Cary wrote a report encouraging other African Americans to make the trek north to Canada.

Founding 'The Provincial Freemen'
It was in Canada that Shadd Cary started a newspaper called The Provincial Freemen, a weekly publication for African Americans, especially escaped enslaved people. She wrote many of the articles herself, and often returned to the United States to gather information for the paper.

In addition to creating a newspaper, Shadd Cary established a school that was open to children of all races. While living in Canada, she met Thomas F. Cary. The couple married in 1856 and had two children. He died only a few years later.

Later Years and Death
When the Civil War broke out, Shadd Cary returned to the United States to help in the war effort. In 1863, she worked as a recruiting officer for the Union Army in Indiana, and encouraged African Americans to join the fight against the Confederacy and against slavery. After the war, Cary became a pioneering spirit in a new direction, earning a law degree in 1883 from Howard University. She was the second African American woman in the United States to earn this degree.

Shadd Cary died in 1893 in Washington, D.C.

If we go by the offices both have once occupied and are still occupying, then NOI is far more qualified than that Korea woman.

Can you see obamagate, lmao, no single evidence just claims, keep it up. Lmao, Hillary mail scandals is another shooting at the dark, to see what sticks, no single evidence. but enjoy I'll not reply you anymore or else you can show evidence, indictment or a subpoena for Obamagate, all this cover-up is all bull talk. By the way, Clinton was impeached for cheating on his wife and lying about it? If they really know how to cover up as you claim, they shouldn't be able to get him on that.

I agree that my calculation or assumed distance was not spot on based on what I thought, but it does not detract from the fact that Maiduguri is still not totally bad to site a terminus there.
And again,80km is still a safe distance more better than the 50 or 60 km you said which was a lie.

The distance,though not the exactly the distance number according to the scene of attack I cited is backed by facts not assumption like yours .

Maiduguri is large ,and you can't say an attack that happened 80 km away from Maiduguri is still not a safe distance.
The point is,the terrorist can't have access to Maiduguri and before they do, it will almost be impossible due to their hit and run approach they employ in distant communities which proves that they are not strong enough to go for an attack at the state capital.

The issue here is,you don't stop people from having development around because there is insecurity in a distant place.

As bad as Abuja-Kaduna road is,construction work is still going on .
All I see the government doing is killing two birds with one stone.

Finally,I still stand by words that Vanguard new is not a trustible media outlet.

All these claims since 2016, no evidence of it. But enjoy, na you sabii where you dey get your conspiracy theories and about criminal convictions I have bubble to burst Republicans are the ones convicted the most by any measure, there is a sneak pic for you Below

I do think Trump has been played by the establishment. Everything is going against him. For the very first time he has finally lost it. They've somehow managed to rigged the next the debate and made it virtual and he's backing out. I don't really see how he is going to win anymore. I just hope I'm wrong though.

Friend22:
You are the one who is having comprehension problem.
You think government takes rash decisions like many of you do without thinking about its inherent implications.

MoreverI read it in another news website and it clearly says near Baga when the governor was moving from Mugono to Baga that's when his convoy was attacked.
The point of our difference is not the attack on the governor's convoy ,but the security of Maiduguri which I told you wasn't a problem while you were trying to use the attack on the governor's convoy as a disapproval of a terminus being sited in Maiduguri that you had to also lie about the distance.

See,let's stop this rigmaroling.
Yiu were caught lying that's the bottom line.

If Maiduguri was not safe like you claimed, the governor would have notified they FG of it, but that's not the case.

How come you who is about a thousand miles away claiming to know more about the security situation better than the residents there still beats me hollow.

And for your info,I don't take any news item form vanguard news seriously because they are known for spreading lies and propaganda.

Friend22:
You still not makmg any sense.

If the attack was inside Maiduguri it would have made your view rational, but outside it about 50km to 60 km?
Haba?!

I had to do a fact check to know if you are saying the truth but it is obvious you are lying.

The distance between Maiduguri to near Baga along Mugono road the scene of the attack is about 197km which about 3hours 22mons or 44mins drive and you're here spewing lies.

197km oh?

I know you were speaking out of your ethnic bigotry not that you really cared about those people.

Nuel4:
lol you were right. That guy is the GOAT. It's unbelievable how calm and smart he's. If he debated Biden, the whole race would have been over already

Friend22:
Stop spouting ignorance here.
He was attacked on his way to IDP camp which is a known flash point not the entire Borno.
Maiduguri which one of the terminus will be sited is not a flash point for BH attack.

Fact check#
Borno state is the biggest state in Nigeria by land mass which by extension, Sambisa alone is more than or equal in size to the 5 eastern states.


Please,I may sound harsh in my approach, but we need to keep our sentiments aside and reason like humans.
