Whit people also kill each other, so do Arabs. I don’t see that justifying slavery of the kind meted on Africa at an industrial scale. You obviously don’t have the background or knowledge to discuss the transatlantic slave trade.

Which ever country left their country with empty ships filled with guns to come and raid Africa or people and natural resources must pay compensation to Africa and the enslaved who were enslaved for 400yrs. Never in the history of the world, had the world witnessed such evil on such scale. Stick to your level of understanding and the limitations of your education.

If you understand what happened from the beginning you would never have said this

Over 300 Wars were fought against the slave Traders

The Dahomey Coast was under the Yoruba Popos before the Portuguese whom they had previously traded with started demanding to have a say in the kingdoms Govt
The Yoruba Popos and others around said never that cannot happen , you cannot dictate to us


Do you know what the Portuguese slave traders did they gave the Dahomey Rulers who were a very small kingdom at the time but who were ready to do their bidding European Firearms, Military Training , Mercenaries and Military advisors to help them to fight against and to defeat the African Tribes that put the slave Traders in their place on top of that Dahomey were now raiding those same Tribes that said no to the Portuguese for slaves on an industrial scale previously unknown and previously unnecessary so as to supply slaves to their Portuguese benefactors and backers

The Kingdom of Dahomey was built almost entirely on the back of Slavery

The Dahomey king who rose to power and insisted he wanted nothing to do with the slave Trade , the Portuguese helped his half brother to murder him within 3 years and they helped his brother to take over the Throne so they could continue with their lucrative slave trade


In Lagos the Portuguese helped Kosoko to chase his uncle Oba Akintoye who wanted to end the slave Trade off the Throne and out of Town

And that was how Europeans the Portuguese especially operated all along the Coast of West Africa even in Guinea Bissau , once any ruler didn't want to do Business with them that Rulers own was finished , they would pump his Rivals for the Throne with Military equipment, Military Training,Funds until the African Ruler opposing them was killed, forced to change his mind or ran away

The other side was that because the Portuguese had now made the slave trading Tribes so powerful other Tribes who didn't want to get involved were now forced to defend themselves from the slavers from frequent slave raids with Firearms and who sold those Firearms it was the same Portuguese that had created the problem in the first place and what did the Portuguese want in return for those Firearms ? More Slaves !!

Brazil their colony was built almost entirely by slave labour !!

HardMirror:
they should make sure they call out our evil ancestors too and the arabs. That is all I am asking. Not ll this trick to collect money they will squander

HardMirror:
White people did not invent slavery. They participated and owe Africa nothing. Go and hold your ancestors accountable for being useless and unable to develop when the rest of the world was developing. Africa is busy looking for free handouts again instead of developing.

Yes I support Trump and grateful for a leader like him not the cowards we have here in Africa that cannot do anything that benefits us.

DO YOU THINK THE WORLD STARTED THE DAY YOU GREW TALL?

IF WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHO CONTRIBUTED TO MODERN CIVILISATION, BLACK AFRICA IS NUMBER 1 ON EARTH.

BY AN ABSOLUTE MARGIN.

OKAY?

MATHEMATICS WAS INVENTED BY BLACK AFRICANS.

THE LEBOMBO BONE, THE WORLD'S OLDEST MATHEMATICAL OBJECT, DISCOVERED IN THE CONGO, AND CARBON-DATED TO 25,000 BCE, SHOWED EVIDENCE OF MULTIPLICATION, DIVISION, AND EVEN PRIME NUMBERS.

IRON SMELTING, THE TECHNOLOGY OF EXTRACTING METAL FROM ORE USING SPECIFIC HEATING PRINCIPLES, IS THE VERY FOUNDATIONAL BASIS FOR THE MODERN WORLD AND INDUSTRY.

THE OLDEST SMELTING SITE ON EARTH WAS DISCOVERED IN LEJJA, NSUKKA NIGERIA, AND CARBON-DATED TO 2650 BCE.

WITHOUT IT, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE THAT PHONE TO TYPE WHAT YOU JUST DID.

THERE WOULD BE NO CARS, PLANES, TRAINS, COMPUTERS OR FRIDGES.

THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD BE LIVING IN CAVES.

IN THE STONE AGE.

MODERN WORLD?

THE VERY BASIS FOR MODERN COMPUTING IS THE BINARY MATHEMATICS OF THE YORUBAS.

IN IFA, 256 DEFINES THE FULL RANGE OF POSSIBILITIES, IN A HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED SYSTEM OF LOGIC, PROBABILITY AND PATTERN.

SAME AS IS IN MODERN COMPUTING - PROOF THAT AFRICA'S BINARY LOGIC PREDATES THE MODERN CODE, AND IS THE ROOT OF IT.

IFA BINARY MATHEMATICS IS ACTUALLY EMPLOYED IN MODERN APPLICATIONS LIKE WHATSAPP.

TODAY, THE VERY EXISTENCE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS DUE TO BLACK AFRICANS AND THEIR DESCENDANTS, AS SHOWN IN THE INCREDIBLE VIDEO BELOW TITLED "THE BLACKS WHO BUILT AI".

abeg. Spare me. You are the ignorant person here. Make research on slavery by arabs then come back and tell me about your so called transatlantic slavery which is all you know

lawani:
The Portuguese didn't really deal with the Popo. They dealt with the Oyo Ajase (Porto Novo) was a military post of the Oyo and the Aare ona Kakanfo was stationed there. The Portuguese could only exist in that area at the behest of the Oyo. The Dahomey paid tribute to the Oyo and they had their capital razed down on the few occasions they didn't pay. The guns the Portuguese brought were useless against Oyo calvary and the Oyo never used guns until the nineteenth century. They ignored guns. There was a time the chief negotiator between the Dahomeians and the Alaafin was a Portuguese working for the King of Dahomey. Dahomey later became independent of Oyo around the same time Ilorin and Abeokuta became independent and it was not because of Portuguese help but because Oyo declined. Oyo declined and Ijaiye was set up as a bulwark against Dahomey incursions. Dahomey never grew bigger than being able to raid Abeokuta and it's environs for slaves before they fell under the French in the 1890s. They were never under the Portuguese

Christistruth00:
The Popo were the first wave of Yoruba on the Dahomey Coast the Ajase were the second Wave and how they got there had more to do with Alaafin's Oyo Army trying to save the Popo and the Eguns from the Dahomey slave Raids that were on the verge of shipping all Popoand Eguns off to Brazil

It was a resue mission that took the Oyo to Ajase and even all the way to Ghana

lawani:
I believe you have a point. The Popo have been there since time immemorial while the Oyo were originally a Northern people. However Portuguese records don't show the Dahomey to have been prominent at the onset. They only talk about the Benin and the Oyo.

HardMirror:
you are contradicting yourself. There is nothing that makes transatlantic slavery more evil than other slavery. Infact the kind of slavery some tribes practiced is worse where thousands of people are captured for the sole purpose of using them for human sacrifices. You guys just finding any and every excuse to make slavery about white people instead of calling out every race equally

HardMirror:
that is because they are smart, they protect their interest. You too go and protect your interests. It is people like you that will tell us Iranian leaders are saints.

It is well known History that the Portuguese undermined African Rulers and Kingdoms that stood against the Slave Trade and supported their Rivals for power

The Portuguese don't deny it

Why do you think Oba Akitoye was chased off the the Throne of Lagos ?

It was because he restricted the Portuguese Slave Traders in Lagos and was ready to abolish the Slave Trade

At least that one happened in Nigeria so you cannot say you haven't heard the History

Even Oba Oluwole of Lagos that was blown to bits with Gunpowder Prince Kosoko was suspected to have a hand in it and Kosoko was backed by the Portuguese because he was the biggest Slave Trader in Lagos and their ally.

Akitoye and slavery bawo? Slavery was abolished by the British in 1808 and by the time of Akitoye in the 1840s to 1860s the British were firmly in control of the Atlantic.
Akitoye was helped by the British to reclaim your throne. Wetin concern Portuguese in all these matter?

2mch:
The fact is you either join and control the trade or you are killed off or enslaved yourself with all your family members. Then they find a willing puppet.

black people tell lies too much. So there was no slavery before white people came. Is that what you are saying? 😂 Slavery that you people were happily doing. It was so bad that hundreds of slaves get captured to be sacrificed to God's at once. You all want to make it about white people so bad.

cr7lomo:
Africans invented nothing...stop using fake YouTube videos to deceive urself ... no be only mathematics...na encyclopedia

bjdon:
If any compensation is to be paid, it should be paid blacks in Brazil, the Carribeian and Black Americans that are desendents of slaves. African nations DO NOT deserve any compensation as their ancient kingdoms were complicit in the trade.

YOU ARE IN THE DAYS OF AI.

YOU CAN GO ON CHATGPT NOW AND CONFIRM.

I DARE YOU NOW. GO ON CHATGPT AND ASK "WHERE WAS MATHEMATICS INVENTED?"

ANSWER: Africa South of the Sahara. LEBOMBO BONE. 25,000 BCE. CONGO.

ASK ABOUT THE OLDEST IRON SMELTING SITE ON EARTH.

ANSWER: LEJJA NIGERIA. 2650 BCE.

THAT IS JUST A TINY FRACTION OF WHAT YOU WILL LEARN.

YOU MIGHT EVEN LEARN ABOUT THE 250 PYRAMIDS IN YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR, SUDAN, BUILT WITH ADVANCED MATHEMATICAL PRINCIPLES AND GEOMETRY, THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE ANY BUILDING IN EUROPE OR AMERICA.

YOU MIGHT LEARN ABOUT THE BENIN EARTHWORKS AND RAMPART SYSTEM, INCLUDED IN THE 1974 GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS AS "THE WORLD'S LARGEST MAN-MADE STRUCTURE BUILT PRIOR TO THE MECHANICAL ERA", AND WHICH AT ITS PEAK, WAS 4 TIMES LONGER THAN THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.

YOU MIGHT LEARN THAT 16TH CENTURY BENIN CITY WAS DESCRIBED BY VISITING PORTUGESE AND DUTCH TRADERS AS BEING AMONG THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND BEST PLANNED CITIES IN THE WORLD, BUILT WITH ADVANCED FRACTAL MATHEMATICS, UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE AIDED BY SUNKEN IMPLUVIUMS, AND PALM-OIL STREETLIGHTS 300 YEARS BEFORE LONDON.

YOU MIGHT EVEN LEARN THAT AFRICANS WERE THE FIRST SETTLERS AND KINGS OF EVERY LAND ON EARTH, FROM EUROPE TO CHINA.

OH THERE'S A LOT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AFRICA'S GLORIOUS HISTORY OF HIGH CIVILISATION.

lawani:
The ice age drove people out of the temperate regions and in those places are structures that predate the ice age built by the indigenes in that era who would have been white people. The Northern hemisphere was resettled by dark skinned people after the ice receded and the white people in those places now are the descendants of those dark skinned people. All human beings are the same. I as a Yoruba carry Neanderthal genes of over twenty thousand years ago apart from recent European DNA that came recently. Neanderthals were Europeans and were white people. I have white ancestors but no group can live in west Africa for generations and remain fair skinned. Every human being have ancestors from all over and it is only that we belong to specific ethnicities.
