Reading history
In May 1803 a shipload of captive West Africans, upon surviving the middle passage, were landed by U.S.-paid captors in Savannah by slave ship, to be auctioned off at one of the local slave markets. The ship's enslaved passengers included a number of Igbo people from what is now Nigeria. The Igbo were known by planters and slavers of the American South for being fiercely independent and resistant to chattel slavery.[3][4] The group of 75 Igbo slaves were bought by agents of John Couper and Thomas Spalding for forced labor on their plantations in St. Simons Island for $100 each.[5]

The chained slaves were packed under the deck of a small vessel named The Schooner York[1][2] to be shipped to the island (other sources say the voyage took place aboard The Morovia[6]). During this voyage the Igbo slaves rose up in rebellion, taking control of the ship and drowning their captors in the process causing the grounding of the Morovia in Dunbar Creek at the site now locally known as Igbo Landing.[7]

The following sequence of events is unclear, as there are several versions concerning the revolt's development, some of which are considered mythological. Apparently the Africans went ashore and subsequently, under the direction of a high Igbo chief among them, walked in unison into the creek singing in the Igbo language "The Water Spirit brought us, the Water Spirit will take us home".

They thereby accepted the protection of their god Chukwu and death over the alternative of slavery.[7] Roswell King, a white overseer on the nearby Pierce Butler plantation, wrote one of the few contemporary accounts of the incident which states that as soon as the Igbo landed on St. Simons Island they took to the swamp, committing suicide by walking into Dunbar Creek.[4] A 19th-century account of the event identifies the captain by the surname Patterson and names Roswell King as the person who recovered the bodies of the drowned.

[8] A letter describing the event written by Savannah slave dealer William Mein states that the Igbo walked into the marsh, where 10 to 12 drowned, while some were "salvaged" by bounty hunters who received $10 a head from Spalding and Couper.[5] According to some sources, survivors of the Igbo rebellion were taken to Cannon's Point on St. Simons Island and Sapelo Island.[7][9]


Igbo Landing was the final scene of events which in 1803 amounted to a "major act of resistance" by the Africans. The mutiny by the Igbo people has been referred to as the first "freedom march" in the history of America.

The event has recently been incorporated into the history curriculum of coastal Georgia schools.[12]

Foreign AffairsRe: Cuba Begins Food Rationing As Country Plunges Deeper Into Economic Crisis by panafrican(m): 2:56pm On May 13, 2019
OyinbowithaTan:
Socialism perfected! Used to be the highest income and standard of living country in Latin America.

In both socialism and capitalism, hard -working people are working for the lazy ones.

In capitalism, the government makes you believe you are free and you own your house. They make you work and work to build or buy that house , but you will have to pay taxes to the government on it. The day you are out of money, the government takes away from you the very same house they said was your, and sells it at an auction.
Not only that they raise tax on everything : gas, food, services, cars, appliances etc, after taking almost 40 % of your paycheck every pay period, through the tax system to give food stamps to lazy people and fund those single moms who have eight kids with eight different men.
Then the system makes you work until the age of 65 or beyond , so that you don't have enough time benefit from your pension when you retire.
Foreign AffairsRe: Cuba Begins Food Rationing As Country Plunges Deeper Into Economic Crisis by panafrican(m):
Leave Cuba alone.
And keep in mind Africa is a wrong place for anyone who want to wage a negative campaign against that country,
and remember what Mandela once said << When we were in hell, Cuba comes to the rescue >>.

The Dutch would not have stolen South Africans' lands.
Many descendants of slave owners would be working under guards in corn fields in Europe.
There wouldn't be any EU bombing countries like Libya or Syria.
No international monetary Fund ripping off African countries.
No globalist and homosexual war machine destroying countries.
No homeless Palestinians.
No Vietnam war
No bloody African independence wars : Think about Algerian independent war, think about Angola, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Bissau Guinea.Think about the chaos in the Congo in the 1960s etc.

Nothing like that happened under Kerekou, Soglo ,and Yayi Boni .Not only that the last legislative election tells a lot about Talon' s intention.
He better remember the history of his own country. There were many presidents before him you did not stay for more than a month in power. Some were presidents for only one day.

Foreign AffairsEuropeans Are Asians by panafrican(op):
It is funny how politically motivated
'geography ' teaches lies on purpose to control people's minds.
Here are some examples::
There is no 'European continent' but there is a continent called Asia stretching from the the far East of China, Japan and Russia through the bottom of Spain , few miles away from Morocco. Let's say it Europeans are Asians.

Same thing in America. There is no such thing as North American continent.
There is a continent called America. The issue is US and Canadians citizens think they are superior to Latinos. That is why they created an artificial continent called North American continent.

Benin under fire over huge hike in election candidate fees

Adopted by parliament ...the legislation demands an eye-watering fee of 250 million CFA francs - around $450 000 - for candidates hoping to contest the 2020 presidential election.

The figure constitutes a whopping 1 500% increase from the 15 million CFA francs in the 2016 election in a move denounced by the opposition as favouring the rich and well-connected.

There is an even bigger hike for fielding a candidate list in the legislative elections, with the fee rising from 8.3 million CFA francs to 249 million.

"By brutally and clumsily excluding anyone who is young, poor or disadvantaged, the government and its allies in parliament have this time gone too far," said Nicephore Soglo, who served as president between 1991-1996.

"It is nothing less than a declaration of war," the 83-year-old told reporters at a press conference at his home in Cotonou, Benin's economic capital
