    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.

    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😎💅🏿.

    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.

    @ekusondebango3568 День тому

    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.

    @ekusondebango3568 День тому

    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.

    Deuteronomy 28 through and through. Our ancestors were so strong mentally, physically, and spiritually. We’re still here though. They keep trying to get rid of us but they can’t. All praise to The Most High. Thank you for the video.
