You need to revise this video.

[@seismicvertigo345]

Damn, sooo much information! You definitely put that "we sold ourselves" claim in perspective, something I hadn't been able to do Good job brother!

[@thebeatnumber]

Clearly you haven't watched other videos on this channel, especially the ones which address the roles played by African kings in capturing and selling slaves to European slave ships.

[@Kalydosos]

@@thebeatnumber True there were also Kings who opposed them.

[@rsbobeenie]

@@Kalydosos what kings?

[@Kalydosos]

@@rsbobeenie Ghana far north/west Mali smaller Kingdoms in todays DRC just like some people opposed the invasion of Iraq. Some people supported it I think you know where I'm coming from.

[@thejamericanexperience2757]

@@Kalydosos Not enough though. Slave trading with Europeans was widespread in West Africa. Many Africans didn't want it to end because it was big business.

[@ballisticmind]

Loved the way you narrate it.

[@matbat2909]

As an European myself, I am shocked about how little of this gets taught in schools. Slave trade is just an uncomfortable side-fact, but no further information on the how, when and where.. No more information than absolutely necessary that is. Even worse, my guess is that the north American school system probably teaches less than that.

Just found your channel😇I'm going to use your channel to teach people about NIGERIA 🇳🇬 Thank you for telling our HISTORY 🇳🇬❤💋

Could someone please update Wiki - Category:Nigerian royalty....... With all our known Nigerian women's history & Nigerian princesses..... before the first quarter of Nigerian Women International Day, because we work four times as hard to record our history. Love Nigeria.

[@tohwasworld3297]

Thank you for studying and teaching the truth bro

[@greatmindwisdom7116]

Sir, I'm interested in Africa history, please recommend what courses to study so I can be enlighten on African history. Please sir respond

[@ronuspirit]

In terms of courses to study, I'm not too sure tbh. Depends on where you are located but there are a number of books that are very useful on African history. The ones we use is in the description of our video but a quick google search should provide much more available sources.

[@jonathanviera1589]

I’m curious who were the Portuguese fighting in that animation, their armor looked kinda like the Benin armor but as far as I know they never fought each other.

Wow you are good in history

[@shockhouser3171]

Wow did the pope really agree with them

[@BKL63PRODUCTIONS]

If you check it out the Portuguese supported the Pope in the war against the Muslim Turks, This is why he granted them the bull or license.

[@sordidC]

Yes he agreed of course

[@nathatos]

Portugal was a country dominated by Muslim (Moroccan) Moors for a long time (al-Andalus), Portugal believed that its mission should be to defeat Islam worldwide and faced the Ottoman Empire, Morocco, Persia, Oman, Arabs, etc. The aim was to facilitate the conversion of non-Christian peoples (and therefore he asked the Pope to obtain the exchange of slave labor for conversion and consequently the individual's salvation.

Tough one

[@collinhenry9996]

This is how my ancestors been through. My mother from Jamaica was told by her grandmother that her father grandmother was not born in Jamaica, she from Africa in the Kongo Kingdom. I was born and rise here in North America (Canada) which the educational system and media do not mention anything positive about Africa and teach that African sell each other to white people. Oh according to my DNA I am Tikar, Bubi and Yoruba in my ancestry which I proud of it.

Religion is a funny thing.. There was a church above the slave dungeons in Elmina Cape coast v Ghana .. The church of England even had their own branding iron that they would use.

[@boyblackhardtruth5967]

THE BENIN Population is not majorly accounted for today because, lots of them were stolen into slavery and others ran into their Yoruba brotherhood/children land to become Yoruba- even Ibo in Onitsha - and The Country Benin- to Haiti- THE BENIN WERE THE FORCE TO RECKON WITH- THIS WE KNOW.

[@stephenlastname852]

Yea but not Benin today he’s talking about the Benin city that’s in Nigeria

[@unpopularpinion5459]

I would also like to see history that doesn't talk about slavery

[@nmagain24]

Why??

[@khaliddontplay818]

Go through his other videos

[@faithyayi]

then click on history videos without the terms "slave" or "slavery"

[@unpopularpinion5459]

Not what I meant. I want to see history of pre colonised Nigeria. I never once stated I had a problem with slave history

[@samgarvey5669]

Unpopular Pinion all his videos before this one kn the playlist of Nigerian history are about west Africa before slavery

[@MusaMills1]

Bartholomew De Las Casas was Spanish. Nice episode.

[@Afrocanuk]

@ 2:39 - It was really a mistake that Christopher Columbus called the native people in the Americas "Indians." They were really descendants of the Inuit people in Northern Canada.

[@hallvardlundehervig5508]

They are not descendants of the Inuits, they derive from a different migration wave into the Americas from Alaska/East Asia

[@collinhenry9996]

Black Live Matter thank you for teaching us where we come from which is Africa not here in the wilderness of North and South America.

[@tristabenton9266]

Are u sure they were kidnapped. Feel like u are watering this down.

[@nmagain24]

@Jensenbaby you need to get a lot more specific than just saying "Africans" they have never all been the same.

[@khaliddontplay818]

Regardless once its clear, at any point, they no longer wish to embark on the journey and are kept against their will then it is kidnap.

[@michaeldaniels5353]

They were sold... They were yall captives and Tall sold em to Europeans...

[@chipp8246]

And now they call me Trinidadian...😥

[@trueablecrimes]

Ouch... lol

[@hiddenhist]

I think the description of what happened in the Congo is a bit... oversimplified, to say the least.

[@seismicvertigo345]

The thing is that the series is on the history of Nigeria, and its surrounding West Africa, so yes.

[@klip8726]

HiddenHistory no one cares about congo

[@hiddenhist]

Seismic Vertigo when I say oversimplified, I mean nearly incorrect. I understand that this series isn’t about the Congo, but the spread of misinformation is still not a good thing lmao

[@ronuspirit]

@HiddenHistory would you mind specifying the part you're concerned about? So I can make an effort to address it. Thanks

[@seismicvertigo345]

@@ronuspirit Hidden History isn't actually trying to help here, they just want to be a back seat youtuber; that's why they said "nearly" incorrect, like what does that even mean? XD

With all do respect brother, It was a African that navigated Columbus ships here to the Americas, we were here long before the so called Indian, and there were other European sailors that came here before Columbus and gave descriptions of the various tribes here, some described some of the tribes with tightly curled hair and very dark skin, stating they looked like the Africans,.... suggested reading "Unexpected Faces In America, When Rocks Cry Out, The First Americans Were Africans, and America B.C...….I really enjoy your commentary on Nigerian history, I'm 31.4 percent Nigerian, it would be great to have commentary on other African Nations, the way you're doing it is easy to comprehend, love the illustrations, and thanks for doing this, peace

[@hallvardlundehervig5508]

Nonsense

[@yolandaliggins9000]

I also did research, and you were right... The first African in American was of West African descent, but in America we were made to be ashamed of Africa so I suppose black people just fell out of the sky in America... How old is America, maybe 300 yrs, Africa is how old 300,000 yrs old... I am born,in America and my " DNA" is 95% West African 48% Nigerian( Ghana, Senegal, Mali, Cameroon Congo,,Benin/Togo...( traces)... Thank you brother, for truth because so many lies have been told in America, because the black mans history were ripped away, and replaced with fairy tales. Natives also had slaves in the America's and still will not allow the African in the tribal( they were property)... America is not on the " DNA" chart, because it is not a ethnicity, but a melting pot of cultures. African is where life started, even the Bible tells you that. There is no mention of America since man put it together from other countries seeking freedom., I am glad that as a African American women, we seek truth and forsake the made up continuous lies... Please forgive those in America Who still suffer from slavery and brainwashing, If they would simply " Add" the truth is before them.. If they would simply read... Egypt, Red Sea, Nile, etc... Africa!! In the " Beginning" God said.., he didn't say as man ventured out... " ALL" life came from Africa. Proud woman of. African descent!!! And I don't believe bullshit' from those of the slave trade like me, because you know nothing because White Men wouldn't allow it, now you are a scholar!! Stop looking stupid.. Oh by the way my white friends know the first black man was african, but to keep black men in American in line, they made up history( and that's what it was ( His- story)
