The Clean River With A Sad History 

Who is watching in 2024

The last slave ship in the 1800s that tried to bring slaves into America after it was illegal to bring slaves from Africa was headed by Captain Latham. The British war ship that patrolled the illegal Atlantic Slave Trade chased and captured the ship but before they did the crew of Captain Latham tossed all the shackled slaves into the Atlantic Ocean to get rid of the evidence of transporting slaves illegally. A memorial was placed on the ocean bed for my people who were all tossed overboard holding hands in a circle. RIP to my ancestors who did not make it from Nigeria to America, I weep for you.

May all their innocent souls rest in peace.

I can only imagine the pain and suffering those our forefathers went through😞 those people must pay! 😡 All those years of suffering! That’s why I don’t pity them when they are scammed

As an Igbo girl and my maternal home Akwa Ibom, my heart weeps and bleeds for everything my ancestors went through and for the mass suicide. May their souls rest in peace

🥺🥺😞😭😢 seeing this make me very very sad n tears flows,our ancestors really suffered

Thank you so much for your videos and for adding the subtitles. I used to have a hard time understanding through your heavy accent. Now I can understand perfectly. Thank you again.

This place is a historical place. It should be protected. This can be a huge economic attraction, especially for the black diaspora. And most important for our people not to ever forget.

I think federal government should locate you or even ministry of education, so you can lead students of history subject in various secondary school, during excursion

This is my state. It’s sad that the government don’t make this place known. There’s really a lot to learn about my state and a lot to study just like you said. It’s actually a lovely place for tourists. Thanks for making this video because I myself didn’t know things like this happened. 😂

I’m Afro-Romanian living in America now. This was very powerful. Thank you for showing me. I’m an activist and my specialty is with Race and Ethnicity. I’ve studied these things my whole life, but seeing it is a whole new level. I went to the Smithsonian museum in Washington DC, USA, and I SAW Harriet Tubman’s clothes, SAW the tools they used as well as what was used on them. I saw a portable crib for field slave moms. It was never as real for me as that moment. I’ve wanted to visit Gore and other locations. I drove by a plantation visiting relatives down the the American South, and for the first time in my life, as I live in the Northeast, I saw the sheer size of the plantation my people worked on. I personally am adopted from Romania, so technically they wouldn’t be my biological ancestors most likely, but I still consider them my ancestors. Peace and Rest in Power. PS I can’t wait for the day when black people decide to rise up and fight back! They are LITERALLY killing us! We should start killing them back. In the United States, anti-black racism is very unique compared to other countries. I believe we are headed for another American Civil War , and when it starts I’ll be ready. We need a return of the Black Panthers, an American black power group that fought back when attacked. They also created school lunch programs, voting registration help, food pantries the works.

Thank you so much for sharing this, we love need & appreciate all that you do. It is so important to show the world how beautiful the motherland is & learn about all of the different cultures & people. #REALCOURAGE #KNOWLEDGEOFSELF

I love the video well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m from Akwa Ibom and I am impressed by your story 😊

You do amazing work young man! I learn so much from you! May God continue to bless you & your family. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

I kept telling people that slavery started over 400 years ago and continued until the 1800s hundreds. So less than two hundred years ago, they shipping people to the new world. I think I heard of Igbos commiting suicide in Jamaica, but many of them survived, including a young Igbo prince. His name was Anaeso, but they changed his name to Archibald Monteith. He wrote the first slave memoir in the Americas. It's a very sad, but interesting story.

Love your dedication. Well done 👏🏽

😢its mind boggling what horrors humanity has and still commits against their own brothers and sisters ...the world needs Jesus ❤️✝️❤️

My goodness ty for sharing ❤❤❤ I have heard of them in the Atlantic but the other information was very intriguing to learn again ty so much for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

We Igbos have suffered!! 😢💔💔😔 And we're still in this mess, when will all this end!

I'm so grateful to you for sharing this history. So sad. Only by the grace of God can we forgive. But surely, what one sow, one shall reap! 💔

My heart cries for every life lost!! Blessings to this land and river

This is true, i am in the Caribbean and my forefathers came to Trinidad through the slave trade. Their names, traditions and way of life was stripped and not allowed and we were given english names. Can't even trace back our ancestord unfortunately cause no records can be found.

The people In akwa ibom and the people in abia State really have a long history together,the both tribes have known there self for long,akwa ibom is beautiful place I tell you

First time watching your videos wish could get someone in Kenya who can exploit like this love your videos

Let me say you represent NIGERIA 🇳🇬 very well. Having visited twice I can't wait to experience it again soon. As an African American when I visited I felt my soul at peace like I made it back home. I visited Idanre Hill, Ikogosi Warm Springs my next visit Olumo Rock and Badagry

Wow.. majority of all the African American are from Nigeria, even most Liberia and Sierra Leone are Nigerian by ethnicity origin, they were the returnee from the US.

Nice one dear, I enjoyed the video

Nice one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for bringing out our rich naija culture abd history this is what I call patriotic and not what the western world is projecting to us as Arica still in the stone age era if there is any noe

Well done my brother

you make history so interesting

Am from the Caribbean,I for give them for my ancestors.

A similar one is in Ghana. When I went there, my phone signaled me in less than 5mins that the temperature was too hot for my phone. 200 people were kept there for 3 months or so until the ships arrived for transportation. Those people were wicked. I guess they considered us as animals

Thank you for letting me know my state better

I can't hold back my tears .

Amen Amen Amen my brother we are free indeed In JESUS Name Forever Amen 🥰🥰 Thank You more grace

A very wonderful work may God help you

Just burry me in the ocean with my ancestors that jumped from the ships because they knew death was better than bondage😢😢😢

wow to wowneche!!!

You're doing wonderful job

What can I say but to say thank you so much for this video. Apart from the Hausa and jeruba all other tribes were considered as Igbos

Akwa Ibom government should pay you for the good work you’ve done for the state, God Bless you

igbos have really suffered, but chi okike abiama is our strenght

Nice work my dear

Great works bros

Thanks dear love from UG

Nice one man ❤❤

Great job 👏

Good job

U did very nice research

Bro. Ur contents 👏

As an African, I really hate thinking about this

As an imo girl I’m hurt from the decisions my ancestors had to make rather than becoming slaves😞

I thought it was only Ghana 🇬🇭 that our forefathers went through and suffered in the hands of the British 😢
