The origin stories Dr Catel choses to share in these videos are LEGENDS (or in some cases pure MYTH) and it's therefore possible that they contain falsehoods or are untrue. This is because there are no written records of the true origins. Various different origin stories were transmitted orally by different peoples and Dr Catel is simply choosing to share the ones that he finds most interesting.

This is a really excellent video! Pretty unbiased and a clear summary of the history of the respective regions. Keep doing this man! I think more people (Nigerians and non-Nigerians) need to know about our history.

On my fathers side my grandpa was Igbo and my grandma was Nupe. My grandma was called kakamanudu. Thanks for this information

Dear KZbinr. The nupe people were not created by Tsoede. Tsoede rule over 19 nupe and then further tried to bring the other dialects together. Also the present nupe people are from the kush kingdom otherwise Nube or Nubian. The Arabs Ibn Khaldun and the rest couldnt pronounce the 'P' just as they call PAPA ''baba'. Nupe people are actually the Nubian who left Egypt and the Sudan scattered around the Nile river. That is why elements of pyramids can still be found in ancient nupe towns like PATIGI, KUTIGI, LAFIAGI etc Nupe culture can be traced down to 900bc. There actual records and citations to prove this. Thanks. And i love what you do by the way

Respect for this series✊🏿

Maaan! Sooo educational I would sit under your teaching ability for years.

Although African history is often rich with informative materials that give the reader insight into the way the people lived before the Europeans set foot on the continent. It is refreshing when natives share their history from their perspective and color it with words and nuances that are only peculiar to them. This effort here is no different except for the fact that the presenter butchered a lot of the pronunciations that if you weren't familiar with the locations he was referring to, you'd be lost and confused.

I am impressed! God bless your efforts

I also love that the Nri kingdom made slavery illegal from the beginning .
