Christmas photograph of the staffs of African Oil Nuts Company and Miller Brothers at Badagry in 1923. Mr & Mrs Benxendale of Miller Brothers are seated on the bench on the far right hand side.

The African Oil Nuts Company Limited was Established in 1916 with a Head Office at Central House, Kingsway, London and branches in Lagos, Kano, Zaria, Badagry, Opobo, Eket, Egwanga, Aba, Udi and Port Harcourt.

It was purchased by Lever Bros Ltd, and subsequently vested in the Niger Company on September 24, 1960.

Women dancing during the Yemọja Festival, Abeokuta, c.1961

In Brazil she is called Yemanjá, or Mãe da Água and in Cuba - Yemayá or Madre del Agua.

Yemọja is one of over 400 Orishá believed to be the patroness of motherhood, childbirth, the womb or fertility, giver of life, and all things relating to femininity.

An infographic depicting the nine Muses of Greek mythology. The Muses are a group of divine sisters who govern various aspects of creativity and intellectual pursuits. Originally, the ancient Greeks recognized three Muses: Melete, Mneme, and Aoide, overseeing meditation, memory, and song, respectively. However, over time, the Muses expanded into a group of nine, each with her distinct domain. Calliope presides over epic poetry and eloquence, Clio over history, Euterpe over music and lyric poetry, Thalia over comedy, and Melpomene over tragedy. Terpsichore leads in dance and choral song, Erato in love poetry, Polyhymnia in sacred poetry, hymns, and eloquence, while Urania's influence extends to astronomy and celestial navigation. The codification of the nine Muses took place during the early centuries of the first millennium BCE. Hesiod, a Greek poet who lived around the 8th century BCE, is often credited with formalizing the concept of the nine Muses in his epic poem "Theogony." In this work, Hesiod introduced the names and domains of each Muse, solidifying their roles in inspiring various forms of art, literature, and intellectual pursuits.📢Find more maps and infographics on The World History Encyclopedia!

shocked


It's sad because it feels as though our ancestors had no history but were just jumping from one tree to another. However, how much interest has our government paid in our history? How many archaeological research have they sponsored?

Such a shame how these "leaders" have no vision or even try to make us proud of ancestry!

You should also note that African states lacked adequate sophistication, this lack of sophistication is partially responsible for absence of historical records among many ethnicities in Africa....
