There's a place in Jamaica called ABEOKUTA named after slaves that was brought to Jamaica🇯🇲 fr Nigeria 🇳🇬

No one mentioned of the gospel part of Nigeria. I love their gospel music plus their pastors especially Apostle Michael oporko

i’m apart of the diaspora in america. and. i don’t want a sincere apology. the chiefs and families that benefited from the trans atlantic slave trade are still benefiting from us today in the world economy. none of us are free until we are all free. and a simple and sincere apology from benefiting in the participation of enslavement simply will not do. you literally put the chains on your neck and felt the weight of human greed and spiritual shame even if it was for 5 seconds. a sincere apology and reparations will not do.

The nature of slavery isn't African, European, Asian...It's human. Since always. As sad as it can be. I don't believe in "reparations", it's just hypocrisy. All of us own slaves today, just in a different way: we don't personally buy and sell them, we don't know them in person, but how do we think our cheap clothes, our phones, our daily affordable goods are made? We all partecipate in a system that needs people to work for crumbles and live without proper rights and dignity. We should care about this and change our life accordingly. Not easy at all. Btw it's helpful to realize what's been known forever, owning slaves was a common thing in Africa , less common trading them (owning was for many,trade was for the wealthiest and/or "business people") These are things that not everybody knows outside of our continent.

Cut the damn check

Most people that immigrate to America are against reparations because they no they won’t be able to come and take that’s one reason

This is Pan-Africanist bullshit propaganda that is being sold to the blacks of Ghana & Nigeria to keep the Trans-Atlantic slave trade lie alive!

She's amazing. Pls ma, can I get her WhatsApp number, because am also a shoemaker, I want to contact her on how to get the materials. Thanks.

My Queen your right the Africans chief and Kings who sold black people should pay reparations. And Nigerian government should give citizens ship to the formerly enslaved descendants.

Well done job may the Lord be with you IJN AMEN

Actually, I've been to Badagry and there are 3 former slave pens, that have been converted into museums, as the slave trade was prominent in Badagry. That body of water she pointed to is a lagoon, On the other side of the lagoon is Gberefu Island and I've walked to the point of no return.. I don't support the notion that West African nations should pay reparations because modern day West African governments didn't exist during the days of the Slave trade and they did not benefit from the slave trade, these governments didn't tax the exported people. The slave trade ended in 1808 these governments were not established until 1885. The governments that benefitted from the slave trade are Portugal, Spain, France, England, Brazil, & the United States of America. Yes, there were individual West African families that benifitted but not the governments.

Very good keep the good job i lived there in the 70

I am not a "continental" African. I AM A "SON OF THE SOIL AFRICAN"!!!!! and nothing else.

The umbrella looks rather new and colourful like it was actually locally produced with local material. Africans like those bright colours after all and that makes it impossible to have come from Dwight man in exchange for 40 "woman' beings (human beings actually).

As a descendant of Hebrews sold by Africans into slavery. Many of us would be accept fertile land to grow crops, a Diaspora minister at the government level to represent us and dual citizenship as reparations. We can get the cash payments from Europeans that human trafficked us and tortured us for centuries….

My sister....you are wonderful...

What really would have been informative is The Tribe/ Clan that ran the African slave trade between the Muslims and Europeans. -Who or what is The Present Day name of those African slave traders? How can I as a descendant of Atlantic slavery seek reparations if I don't know who is at fault as well? -I know of the Present European Banks, Countries and other businesses who made a great deal of wealth from slavery. I have always found if funny how there are no interviews or real research by Black Africans to show how they became so okay with this behaviour? Yet the material stuff was so silly😂🤣, 40 women equal 1 umbrella, to this day Africa is giving it's riches and wealth for Fool's Gold😎💅🏿. -Kenya currently has to starve their people to pay back international loans. Kenya is rich in natural resources, made no sense to take loans. Now the modern Kenyan will be paying a tax on everything including breathing air😎💅🏿.

Just imagine African Americans living in Nigeria that come across slave traders and telling them motherfuckers they want some narie or money and land or property

Just move on even black Americans sold slaves

The Story of Black Americans being sold by Nigerian Slave traders is mostly false. The Slave trade happened in reverse. When the explorers came to the Americas they were depopulating the country and sending Black Americans ( Aboriginal American/ American Indians ) to Cape Verde 🇨🇻, Puerto Rico, Europe ). Black Americans come from Noah’s eldest son SHEM and Africans come from HAM. Only less than 5% of the enslaved came to the Americas and a lot of those slaves were Black Europeans that were expelled from Europe by Oliver Cromwell, King John 11 of Portugal 🇵🇹 and King Fernand & Queen Elizabeth of Spain 🇪🇸. MOST BLACK AMERICANS ARE ABORIGINALS.. THEY ARE NOT AFRICANS. ALSO THE AMERICAN CIVILISATION IS OLDER THAN AFRICAN CIVILISATION.

Which language do they speak in Badagry?

Slave trade or human traffic

What part oF Africa you are from

Team Shorn Arwa 👊

Do the 1 minute videos as well, to keep the channel vibrant.

Is Badagry near Benin? Congratulations on the 10k views on the other video.

Zulus ddnt oppress anybody 😂😂😂 we migrated south back to our ancestors land and ran from the wicked arabs and their friends in the North 😂😂😂

so Nigerian men have been doing human trafficking from way back like they still do today 😂😂😂 they were always wicked I guess 😂😂😂

African storyteller,ive been asked to ask what is your whole name and who are your people specifically because you are all spared from any type of retaliation or anger . Thank you for being a very good sister and showing the warm heart you have . You are the very type of african that our ancestors mentioned who would love us and accept us back and would trully feel some of the pain we felt . Thank you again and you make it easier to argue against those who are anti African

That was very painful to watch. ..😥

Click bait; where are the two families? Lori iro

To my understanding. They did not kno the magnitude of the action selling the slave. Didn’t kno it will result into what we know as the terrible history of the trans Atlantic slave trade. Some tribes also were manipulated and/or forced thru threat… but still, especially if they are wealthy due to it. They should pay

But indentured servitude is different from chattel slavery. Africans never practiced chattel slavery. I think there is a level of complicity but most of the responsibility lies with the colonizers.

Very substantial

Dwelling in the past won’t allow us to forgive and move on

Now their grandkids are selling fragrance in Europe toilets

I love this.. You are so brave! I commend you for have courage to speak the truth. I want to know what happened to the African sellers? Why did they choose those particular people to sale? Were those Africans from Egypt or another state in Africa? Why did they sale their own people? Who are the decedents of the slave traders today? Please do a part 2. Thank you so much. I learned a lot.

It's ok my brother, great reply, it's almost like we could have just have put the chains on ourselves and steered the ships to America, and when we arrived we say, here we are master... But now, we have changed, we have learned how deceitful the Europeans are by nature... Now we know by God and our ancestors, we know the ways forward, and that is Pan-Africanism... One love...

The advent of the European Scramble for Africa in the early 1880s made it imperative that even Liberia may lose portions of her domain (and it did to an extent). Under threat of European encroachment on Liberian territory the position of Liberia on the Scramble for Africa was stated by the Liberian Secretary of State, Edwin J. Barclay in June 1887 as follows: “Liberia is neither a European Power, nor a signatory of the decision of Berlin Conference, she was not invited to assist in those deliberations and is therefore not bound by its decisions, and further those decisions refer to further acquisition of African territory by European Powers and not to the possession or future acquisition of an African state.(reference: U.S.N.A., Dispatches of the United States Ministers at Monrovia, vol. 10, diplomatic dispatch no. 12, enclosure: Barclay to Taylor, Monrovia, 8 June, 1887). This notwithstanding, the Liberian Government lost large portions of its territory. For example, in 1882, the British annexed the Gallinas district and in November 1885, an Anglo-Liberian Agreement delineated Liberia’s western boundary with neighbouring British Sierra Leone to disadvantage of Liberia. Other Agreements with France ceded vast previously held Liberian territory in the hinterland up to the River Niger. The Liberian settlers reared up in Western culture, and having been imbued with a modicum of modern, political organization as well as technological sciences viewed the African culture with utter disdain. They rejected African religions which they regarded as paganism, heathenism and despised African social and political institutions. There was little or no contact between the settlers and the Africans and intermarriage was strictly discouraged. In 1836, the Acting Colonial Governor, Reverend B.R. Skinner, reported that “the marriage of a colonist with any one of the neighbouring tribes was considered exceedingly disreputable, and subjected the individual to the contempt of his fellow citizen (see A. Archibald, A History of Colonization on Western Coast of Africa; Negro University Press, 1968, p.5110. In May 1879, Liberia’s vice president, Daniel B. Warner observed that “it will require on the part of the man of the least culture (make that Africans) strong moral courage to break through the strong prejudice against the intermarriage of the Colonist and Natives which prevails here among the Americo-Liberians”. In 1834, a Colonist openly suggested that Africans should be enslaved (see Repository, X, December 1834, pp316-318). The cultural differences coupled with differences over economic matters such as trade, prices, wages and encroachments on the farmlands and town-sites of the Africans by the minority settler population were the sources of friction and sometimes bloody wars between both groups. The perception of special privilege or entitlement to the land did not help matters at all. The arrogance and haughty bearing of the freed slave settlers even caused President Arthur Barclay (1904-1911) to issue the following admonition: the Americo-Liberian citizen may do and has in the past done the most harm in connection with national unification by maintain a contemptuous, ungracious, and unjust attitude towards his aboriginal brother by a want of politeness and good feeling. The indigenous Africans who outnumbered the settlers by a ratio 100 to 1 were neither given any political privileges nor did Liberia’s Independence Constitution of July 1984 recognize them as citizens. In short, the African could not hold political office nor vote in elections. Employment in the Government service was out of their reach. They were de facto subjects of the Americo-Liberian settlers on their own ( the African’s) land!!!!! The settlers feared that extending political privileges to the Africans who outnumbered them would cause the Africans to swamp them politically, and in the end take control of the Government. The settlers ironically wielded political power out of proportion to their negligible share of the total population. Obviously this caused a great deal of resentment towards the settlers that in due course something was bound to happen, no matter how long it will take. The bitter struggle for political power between the settler mulatto and dark-skinned settle population in the 1870s further pushed the need to address the complaints of the Africans (see H.A. Jones, “The Struggle for Political and Cultural Unification in Liberia, 1847-1930”, Doctoral Dissertation, Northwestern University, 1962, p.151).As the European Scramble, Partition and Pillage of Africa’s resources drew closer, the Liberian Government introduced “Native Policy” to ensure that the Africans remained loyal to it as opposed to the Europeans.

Evil. How could you sold your own people. See my ancestors are crying. Shame and Africa

THE HISTORY OF LIBERIA PART CONTINUED The hinterland was rich in such products like gold, cattle, hides, camwood and ivory and these got the attention of Liberian authorities who economic problems caused them to come of ways to scheme the Africans out of the control of their land. A series of expeditions into the hinterland were therefor commissioned for the purpose of concluding “treaties’ of “commerce” and “friendship” with the unsuspecting interior African chief of the interior (for reference see: J. Gus Liebenow, Liberia: The Evolution of Privilege, Cornell University Press, Ithaca, 1969. Pp18-19). The following expeditons occurred within this period: April -December 1858, exploration of Bassa hinterland up to the Nimba mountains was led by George Seymour; February 1868 - March 1869. Exploration into the Dey, Golah, Condo, Loma and Mandingo countries led by Benjamin J.K. Anderson. Upon his return to the coastal territory, Anderson recommended that the Liberian Government occupy the region between Monrovia and Musardu with Liberian staff and military officers( for reference see: B.J.K. Anderson, Narrative of a Journey to Musardu, the Capital of the Western Mandingoes, 1868-1869, S.W. Green, Printer, New York, 1870. Pp100-101). Please note that the recommendation was to occupy the land which is far different from ‘purchasing” it. Indeed the Liberian explorers were agents of Americo-Liberian imperialism just like H.M. Stanley and de Brazza were agents of European imperial expansion. Accepting B.J.K. Anderson’s recommendation and also to acquire more territory, the Liberian Government in 1870 sponsored another expedition as far as Polaka in Barline country. The expedition was led by William Spencer Anderson who hoisted a Liberian flag over there to signify Liberian authority over the Barline people. This exercise did not involve any treaty of amity nor was the land “purchased”. Finally, from May to December 1874, the Liberian Government commissioned the last exploration into the land of the Kpelle, Vai, Golah, Loma, and Mandingo people up to the Musardu. This exploration was led by Benjamin J.K. Anderson who drew the attention of the Liberian Government to the wealth of the hinterland in export products, food crops, and African labour ( slave labour as we shall see later!!!). B.J.K. Anderson urged the Liberian Government to “establish some show of power” IN Kpelle, Loma and Mandingo countries as he knew that these people rejected Liberian rule over them. B.J.K Anderson recommended the “building of a chain of military posts “ to facilitate the forced occupation of these lands. He then warned that “it will not be wisdom for Liberia to remain another year out of these territories commercially or politically” ( for reference see: B.J.K. Anderson, Narrative of the Expedition Dispatched to Musardu by the Liberian Government under Benjamin J.K. Anderson, Sr., Esq., in 1874, College of West African Press, Monrovia, 1912, pp27-28, 40-42). On the basis of these explorations and various alleged acquisitions of land from unsuspecting African chiefs, even before the advent of European Scramble for Africa, the Liberian Government laid claim to about 600 miles of the Atlantic littoral from the Sherbro to the San Pedro River and about 250 miles inland, even up to the River Niger. However, the Liberian Government lacked the funds, military personnel or efficient administrators to effectively “occupy’ this vast territory. This will have a serious consequence with the commencement of European Scramble for Africa.
