so why did she dump this fellow for the other one?

most african, or nigerian cultures you mean.


they're just used by elements who want the general public to stay out of their business, that's all.

maps plz.

hard keeping up with nigerian topography.

is anambra replacing cross river as per oil?

now, i know CR is beside cameroon while anambra is to the east of river niger.

but maps are still needed to get the general picture.

maclatunji: This thread is just hilarious. OAM4J's analysis is up there. Let me just add:

1. Nobody with Mukina2's job can please everybody, that includes Seun as well.

2. She really does make an effort to make it interesting for Nairalanders (so give her some credit).

3. Most Nairalanders love controversial topics and will leave the most "cerebral" topics to die a sad and ignominious death even with front page exposure.

4. Nairaland has new moderators in some hitherto passive sections that have ideas that will mature over time, I am sure that will be reflected on front page soon.

5. If your favourite topic has appeared in its appropriate section and has gotten decent viewership and feedback, you might want to be content with that. Front page brings the good, the bad and the terrible to a thread if you know what I mean.

6. Some of us that complain so much can become our own "Mukina2", there is a diaries section in Nairaland. If your posts are interesting enough I am sure people will flock there by themselves after a few visits. Otherwise, setup your own blog, Facebook page/group or website. It is a free world.

7. Mukina2, do some more research and seek continuous improvement in your work.

8. Have a nice day or whatever is left of it.

asss kisser.

which kind long epistle be this, and on top what?

are you people being paid or something?

Ptolomeus: What you say is correct.
Of all the "waves" of Africans shipped to America, the Yoruba were possibly the last. Soon after, slavery was abolished almost tod America. This factor was helpful to many Yoruba could return to their land. In the case of other ethnic groups, only the offspring was the first African slaves. That fact led to many preferred to stay in America.
We are dealing with an extremely delicate and sensitive issue.
My respects to all

the "last" shipped by the english, not the portuguese.

the portuguese were shipping slaves from west africa long before britain shipped them to north america.

Ptolomeus: Dear friend:
It is my understanding that possibly one of the most decimated (depleted) Yoruba kingdoms was that of Keto (Ketu). Some reports indicate that almost was destroyed in its entirety. You (or another brother) some information about it?

a lot of towns and villages were depleted.

ketu wasnt the only one.

What's with all these threads anyway.

If the child is a billionaire nko?

@ topic.


Wont you ignore the result, pretend it never happened, and attack anyone who suggests otherwise.

Abeg make i hear word.

I think women have more perseverance than men, generally speaking and of course there are exceptions to the rule.


But i dont think women have higher IQs than men. They have more intuition maybe.

And if they dont like their daughters marrying non-fulani, why the matter come pain okija juju pass?

Thanks for that referee analysis.

Somebody like michelin is simply too dense to understand such basic concepts.

Lets see how fast gimbus will get banned.


You never halla.

Right after i just commented on this very matter too.

The slaves were sometimes given food and water during their trek to the coast. These were purchased from towns or villages along the slave routes. And neither does this mean they didnt experience what you described.

As per specially concocted wells and stuff like that- these would have been at the place of shipment, not before.


And, the brutality of the slavers would determine the condition and treatment of the slaves prior to arrival.

I'm not assuming anything -i' m telling you the actual accounts from the horses' mouths. Pardon the expression.

Sounds like a love tangle imo.

What usually makes seun or mukina go gaga over somebody's post is if you try to sweet talk seun.

So i'm guessing something like that must have happened somewhere-we do not know the full details. Even when people toast mukina nobody dey vex over it- na only when seun is in danger of being hit on by some female, that's when they go into high alert mode.

Antivirus is currently roaming around the forum shouting " notice me" and no one is batting an eyelid.

Btw whatever happened to deleting posts abi that one no dey again?

Why were they hired to begin with and are there other jobs waiting for them now.

Those are places where the general public arent allowed to go.

Because other elements in a society need to meet there and safeguard the privacy.

chipmunkey: It is virtually impossible to march them across several hundreds of kilometers shackled together without food and water.It is virtually impossible to march them across several hundreds of kilometers shackled together without food and water.

and why would you assume they had no food or water?

these were purchased along the way if the slavers so desired.

^^like i said, you're wrong.


you dont know of the history doesnt mean its not there.

if it wasnt possible to march thousands of kilometers then how did people travel in ancient times?

and btw- my posts arent referring to the previous argument about igbo slaves in lagos.

^there's no need to get nasty, jeez.

if you dont understand my posts then waka pass.


if you're not aware dahomey enslaved yorubas then just say so.

dayokanu: You have to note that Slave trade can be done in places where they have a recognised settlement not ppl just wandering in the bush

there were slave routes along the way.

slavers knew their routes- ordinary people didnt.

The SW and bini had empires, Calabar too had a settlement which was recognised and ppl can trade with

lagos, calabar, ilorin, etc were simply points at which slaves were gathered at the slave markets after being brought in from elsewhere.


the history of slavery in lagos is actually quite sad and not something people would like to know of.

in calabar, read of some slaves around the region who were brought to the slave market and after being freed or bought [cant remember which], couldnt recall where they were from, or their villages no longer existed, and so they stayed put in the area.

But i`m not sure how the hausa/fulani`s came into the equation because they did their trade across the Sahara

fulanis traded directly or indirectly with coastal europeans.

come though- hasnt all this been discussed previously on nl?

^^nothing you said contradicts what i typed.

^^they rebelled more after the collapse of oyo, and started attacking yoruba towns.


i think the fulani also shipped them some slaves.

fulani and/or some of those tribes around the northern areas.

if you slept with your wife at so and so time, and a baby came out eight to nine months later, then i think you should know it was your s.perm which resulted in that baby.


however, if you're one of those cat and mouse relationships which resemble tom and jerry, then your fears may be justified and the dna test can be your gospel.




say maybe you and your wife patronized a baby farm or she had someone helping you perform your husbandly duty at the same time you did your own.

dahomey captured slaves from yorubaland, with a large number from ogun.

but also further north to the oyo areas.

the slave trade contributed to the rise and growth of many of the most prominent ijaw towns.

the northerners shipped them slaves to trade with the europeans.

they [ijaws] in turn produced salt, etc for shipping north.

palm oil trading was introduced by the europeans to replace the revenue lost from abolition of the slave trade.

i believe the ijaws were middlemen for the slavers.

so, they'd be acting mainly as the purchasing agents buying the slaves to resell them in the coastal areas.

slave relics would be found at the points of shipment abroad in that case.

So it is safe to say only slaves not very far from the cöast made it across the Atlantiç.

not very correct.

some nigerian slaves, for example, were marched from their villages in the hinterland, down to dahomey where they were either internally enslaved, killed or shipped abroad.

the northern fulani also captured slaves to sell to the europeans.
