Great history video

[@homerplessy2057]

Great and brilliant display of culture. I clicked "dislike" for the following reasons: 1: The narrator's use of contemptuous words to describe a genuine and brilliant culture; such words as "primitive", "strange", "backwards," etc. 2) The British did not deserve such welcome as they obviously held the people in contempt.

It was in 1956 in the end of the colonial era ( the end of the colonial era but it still the colonial era ) ...

They travelled to the Durbar not the Queen. The Queen visited that Durbar. The Emirs from all the Hausa states ride to greet the Sultan of Sokoto. The others come from Kwararafa confederacy. They are all warrior tribes and this ceremony is centuries old. I'm from one of those clans. We where under Indirect rule and not fully colonised. That charge is called charging the devil. It is done yearly.

Do you think the king of England would receive such an enthusiastic welcome today? Thank you for your post.

[@idomalion6167]

@@oceejekwam6829 King Charles has visited the Kano Durbar in the past. The ceremony would be slightly different due to certain changes to the modern procession. The British Monarchy is still respected.
