The Shocking Truth About Nigeria’s Slave Trade History! 

Thanks Trudy. You are very correct. 👊🏽

Thanks for this Tayo🙏🙏

Where are the boats? 12 million people is a lot. what where they feed? How many people hired to capture people? Why Africans in the states never heard of Atlantic slave trade ? They say we are different and i concur. Why our ancestors never passed down stories of Africa?

@@TayoAinaFilms clearly you don't know your history

@@pheleekseh1391 How many do you want to know? Do you think African history is the only slave trades? You will only know a fraction of it which he knows.

I think they were gullible and quite foolish because they thought those items were of significant value when they were actually not. Even our own artefacts that were looted were much more valuable. Still today as you have said, we continue to sell each other out. It's quite sad.

Rulers pls

Some things Never change. Sad

History repeats itself. ,,,😭😭😭😭😭

Sounds like the present leadership of Africa

You ain’t never lie!

@Tony Brown I like you have will to do what i like. It was interesting learning about slavery from another narrative. I thought I’d learn something new.. and i did. I see a slavery exhibition for tourism in near future. I mean after the success of Ghana welcome home! 2019. Why not capitalize off of people ignorance.

It does. We rarely hear it from that perspective.

I’ve never heard it from another perspective or race sha

Met the tour guide last month when I was out there! He and the other guides were 10/10. It was super sad but necessary!

"Our ancestors"? My Ancestor was on a boat sold by theirs.

Tribes were selling conquered tribes into slavery. Just because they shared a skin color does not mean they share a culture. Europeans have fought each other more years and they share a skin color as well

I agree!!

Slavery has always existed within any civilization and culture. The Romans enslaved all other Europeans, the Dutch, English, French, Germans, Spanish etc etc. The Egyptians and Chinese as empires in Civilization all enslaved from within or outside of their people *The only difference with the Europeans enslaving African was the inhuman way that they treated the Africans by making laws and cooking up scientific lies that the African was the equivalent to a monkey, that the African was unintelligent, thr way the separated families, raped the women, used men as bulls by taking one strong male from plantation to plantation to impregnate the females. There's no precedent in all human history that can match or challenge the inhuman and barbaric ways that the European people and their government subjected to the African.......like the man said in this clip his family used go own slaves...this was common practice all across Africa but the slave was never treated like an animal and it was so easily for the Europeans as the colour of the African people made it impossible for them to escape......you must know that at this time the Irish people were also slaves but because they were white to could fun away yo the next town. The African couldn't and the Irish were treated like human beings

This is where the roots of African Americans come from which is Nigeria we were the Igbo then heeboes then Negroes then nigger now nigga

We Nigerians love you. Keep serving the Lord Jesus Christ, your citizenship is heaven ❤❤

❤ your comment. My DNA is 47.7% Nigerian. It came from both of my parents. 👍🏾

Very important video i just did. My dna, i am 93% sub subara West African. i wanted to know also. .i love this one video and one Ghana

While I understand the sentiment, I'd suggest you don't bother coming to Nigeria, you will surely not like it here.

You? Why? What stories do you have to tell? I’d love to hear. BLACK AMERICANS WAKE UP!!!THEU YRYING TO BAIT AND SWITCH US. Two different stories. Where in the USA IS YOUR FAMILY? Did you do your DNA test? I’ll wait

I’m glad u can at least admit the true history of this. It’s somewhat taught here n the States but they’re having a whole issue with the Critical Race Theory at the university level

You see the problem with this is 'Nigeria' itself. It is a man made construct which was originally set up to be a company to fund Britain. There are people living in this 'Nigeria' who don't even see themselves as Nigerian. Back in the days of these slave trading atrocities there were some ethnic groups who suffered immense loss of people but they weren't as powerful to fight back and trade their enemies to the Europeans. However, these ethnicities are now they are part of this construct called 'Nigeria' they are now expected to be held accountable for the the ethnicities that participated heavily in people trade. Blame needs to be proportioned accordingly and Nigerians need to at least get the ball rolling by apologising to their fellow Nigerians as well.

@@mikkionthebeat7005 i will admit that slavery topics are lucrative for tourism.

@@DionneEguono if you want to go on that premise, than you also have to agree that the Whole of Africa is a man made construct , with our borders drawn up by the Whyte man in Berlin in the 1800’s . The rest of Africa is not complaining about it. As Black people we should work together for the Betterment of ALL Black people. Tribalism has not helped anyone till date. Tribal wars led up to us selling each other for slavery in the past, when are we going to learn in the present that tribalism helps no one. It’s only used as a tool by the politicians, and dissidents to maintain their goal posts.

vice versa, some African Americans also make fun of Africans

they can't just treat you the way you said, tell your own side of the story

Americans always make fun of africans. Their skin tone, their accent, their hair, etc. everything that actually makes them "black" because they try so hard to dissociate from africans. Be honest! Those nigerians you're talking about are just defending themselves. In Africa, most people who are aware of your existence think you are cool, so stop this!

Yes, if it weren't for God none of us would have been alive today. God has been with us all this time. When they sold us, they did not know who they were selling. We a true children of the most High God. Oh snap, they did witchcraft on us? Tree of memory loss? hmmm.

I am African American..I live in this hell called America for umbrellas and whiskey 😢😢

No need to apologize because it had nothing to do with you. Chances are that your ancestors not only participated in the slave trade but were also victims of it by loosing family members to it. “Nigerians” didn’t sale themselves into slavery because “Nigeria” did not even exist as a state until 1914(way after slavery ended in the Americas). Nigeria itself is an amalgamation of over 250 ethnicities forced together by the British. Many “Nigerian”kingdoms and empires were at war with each other and enslaved their neighbors. A good example is the Oyo empire who enslaved their enemies, but after they collapsed became victims of the slave trade themselves. If we are being technical, Nigerians are the victims and the perpetrators of the slave trade. The same way those that were enslaved and shipped to the Americas were victims and also perpetrators of the slave trade. History isn’t simply white and black

There is no other way to describe it.

It's not ours...well not most of us.

YES IT IS I LEARN THIS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IT IS EVEN SHOWN IN THE MOVIE ROOTS HOW DO YOU THINK THEY GATHERED THESE PEOPLE AND NOT ONLY BLACK PEOPLE WERE SLAVES IT WAS IRISHMEN CHINESE DUTCH AND SOME BLACK THAT BOUGHT SLAVES

Not taught where? It was definitely taught in my middle, high, and college courses. I'm an African-American - please be specific. SOME of us are quite aware of our history.

How painful is it to realize that without African help slavery in the Americas might never have existed? Even more surprising is all the anger never confronts the modern slave trade practiced in Mauritania, Kenya, Nigeria and Burundi to name just a few today. Slavery, in fact, is as alive and well as any time in history. Maybe your history teachers had an agenda that you were unable to discern.

Many African American Know About This History.

We all come from Afrika... Mother continent of all of us.

Thank you ❤

Thank you

Thank you, ubuntu

Dna shows me to be 40 percent Nigerian, and 23 percent Congo Western Bantu peoples and several other african nations and North Africa. It warms my heart that you apologized. I accept your blessings and pray that gracious God blesses Nigeria, you and your entire family. Peace be upon you forever.

No. This needs to be taught in homes by parents. They have taught enough fake history. We have to take control and teach our own youth and stop relying on others to do that. We are the only race of people that rely on outside sources to teach our hostory. Every parent can and should require history to ONLY be taught by them. These videos are excellent sources to get started. I plan to opt my kids out of western history lessons....every time.

When I was in primary school in Lagos, in the mid 1980s they taught all of this to us. I’m surprised a lot of millennials do not know of this.

It is. No one wants to listen because they believe it's false since it's taught by the white and natives historical evidence. Maybe not this in depth, but it's taught.

We will be happy to welcome you back to our great land

This makes me so sad cse I feel like I can feel my ancestors spirit through this video. Per my grandmother stories her ancestors were captured by their own n sold.. makes me sad

@@maxemeka2080 🤣🤣🤣 “Great land” you must have never been to Africa. Place is a hot mess of a dump.

Why would anyone want to go to Africa? Why would you feel a connection to the original people that betrayed your ancestors and sold them to the whte man.

nothing any good, is back there for you

Absolutely and it can be taught to the most educated society, it's a matter of brainwashing!!!

“Slavery is not rooted in skin colour but in wicked human hearts; It’s not a black or white problem but a sin problem which sadly we have all historically shown ourselves capable of” WOW! Such a powerful and profound statement! Wonderfully said!

Amen 👏

@@cushitepeople9165 your whole argument is B.S, claiming Europeans somehow treated their slaves like animals and much worse than other races that enslaved Africans or anyone else for that matter!! This has to be the most ignorant claim I’ve ever heard!! 😂You obviously have a biased animosity/ racist outlook on yt people and it clearly shows. Most believe that white men just jumped off of boats and ran through the African country side with a cast net catching black folk… WRONG!!! 99% of black slaves were captured, retained and sold by other Blk tribes. Furthermore, these same tribes used there captives as slaves long before Europeans ever purchased a slave. These same African tribes treated there slaves in a brutal manner were many died of starvation, infection from chain bindings, beaten to death and slaughtered for no good reason. All slave owners have treated their own slaves poorly. Race has nothing to do with how slaves were treated and to think otherwise is ludicrous!! Do better research and stop with the false claims, posting bs bc it fits your own personal narratives!

True badagry beach has a strong tide .

So sad!

Notice the sea angry? Notice the sea have trends at certain times of the year. Notice the sea act up at certain temps. write down these trends and discuss them with other sea watchers. then maybe youcan master the saes. WOW, that is what the Portuguese did from 1420's to the 1490s.

They’re not slaves….

Many of our people jumped to their death. They would rather die than go with those demons.

Hard to do though realistically speaking, people get jealous envy of other people's stuff. Their woman, their power, their wealth. This world only needs God not us. Get it? This world only needs someone like Jesus, or indian Jesus Buddha, or Muhammad. Although some Muslims took Muhammad teaching astray Muhammad was still a righteous man with a meek heart. Only when we are like our Divine Creator righteous at heart can we truly enjoy life in Earth.

Stalin, Hitler, Saddam, Obama, Castro, etc... I disagree.

This is not where the Slave trade began, slaves were talked about in the Bible.

Hello brother, I agree with you. It's so sad. The more you learn about our history you will see things that we did. You will feel all kind of emotions. You will be amazed when you learn. Black People invented so many things. A black woman invented makeup. I just wanted to tell you that.👍

Sorry bro, you don't have leaders you only have politicians. There's a huge difference between politicians and leaders

My mom told me about this slave trade in Nigeria and I didn't believe her😭😭

@@chiblesstheraindowninafric9932 Now you believe

Yes! Now isn't this clearly, about corruption? Price and profits, no wonder why everyone else is against the black's, because the shittism has been stratified against the black's themselves Every since I was a child, it's like spiritually, I could sense and see things deep within my being, and as I grow older, I developed this consciousness, regarding, wrong and right It was obvious that something was really out of place, for example, from a biblical point of view, I was lead to think and believe, that poverty were the norm, personally I could not accept it, so I've always, asking questions, but couldn't get the right answers, so I started to do my own research I started with the bible, that's when I learned that Eygth, was the first civilized on earth, but to me Eygth was out, or rather up in the sky, plus many other, places, only to discover that these places is in Africa, I then went on further, and come to realized, that Africa, and African's, weren't in need, or wants of anything, simply means that everything you could think of was, and is there in Africa, then I wonder, then why, or how is it, a continent, fell victim, to country? There i came to realized, that it couldn't, without insider's for reason, wealth Therefore, religious and economical subordination were stratified, to control the wealth, so there and then, the only way, was, and still is divide and rule Even to this very moment, look at our continent, look at our music, look at the ordinary people, no one can tell me, the the gate of no return, wasn't, and still a major phycological, emotional, spiritual throma upon until this very moment, due to lack of self-esteem, African's at home, and abroad, need Leaders, politicians, in the diaspora, is still our insider's, just like in the begining of Africa trouble from day one, I could go on, and on, however, at this moment, I really need some sleep, I trust my input will be food of thoughts, it's full time to reevaluate ourselves and love each other, especially black people. One love

It was hard but the story had to be told 😅 . Thanks bro

my heart is heavy already

If you think it's hard imagine if your ancestors had actually been enslaved.

Greetings Brother hopefully we can reframe the narratives. These were not "slave trades" these criminal enterprises are deliberate attacks on sovereign citizens. High crimes with No statute of limitations! The only way to gain justice and departure from the pain and degrading stigma we must reframe the narratives and as said proper criminal liabilities. There is No statute of limitations. Peace and Blessings Glorify the Most High Continually.

My brother you are correct. My forefathers were sent to the Caribbean. And if Deutronomy 28:68 is correct so are the scriptures that speak to the fact that YAHWEH is not done with us. He promised to regather us back to our lane that he had given us. Ezekiel 20:39-41, Amos. 9:8-9, Jere 16:14, etc. Further it makes one wonder where we settled after the Babylonian war May have been west Africa -Nigeria , Ghana , etc but that wasn’t the original land given to our forefathers- it was Israel…. May the Spirit of Truth of Yahweh guide you! ❤ blessings

@@abdulsegs okay

@@TheBetslipMovie all this things the man said here I have read them in history books, find the right one bro

It is taught in books, they literally wrote it down so future generations could copy it. Check out The Gambia they have books on the slave trade and the Arab slave trade, same as Mali, Ghana etc. Maybe in the west it’s not in your class rooms but they will have books on it. Come on man

I can only IMAGINE!! Seriously traumatizing!!💯

That's why most African descendants all over the world are living in trauma. We're wish ther African governments would accept their relatives back without having to pay for citizenship. Let us come home freely.

With all this info, what do you think the amount of ancestral curses will be? Unless you cut those chains through Jesus Christ. Not the Jesus Christ from the "Slave Bible" those white suppressors used on the slaves to keep them bounded even in the spiritual realm.

@Terrill Elliott that has nothing to do with we West African descendants in America due to the fact that, the Africans in Northern African territories now known as Egypt and or Israel were sent throughout the Mediterranean...not Turtle Island "The Americas"! We are West Africans

But if he don't traumatize us. We wont learn.

Wish it is mandatory for all school curriculum in Nigeria to visit that place

Me too in 2010. This was my first excursion

My school went there in 2017 too and the first storey building in Nigeria too.

It also need to be taught in Caribbean too

@@Culture23 And the rest of the world! It is hard to credit the evil in the minds of some human beings that carry out and permit these things to happen! On the other hand there have always been people that have felt compelled to stand up against these things; always a situation of good versus evil in this world! I am a 'white' person now70 years old living in the U.K., and what I refer to as 'black' issues have come to burn within me since I became friends with someone from the Caribbean from about 7 years ago. Slavery unfortunately still continues in this world to this day. I understand one can still openly buy slaves in the markets in some countries of this world; it seems there will always be human beings exploiting other human beings in this world. Brent Collins.

To be honest, growing up and being taught about slavery in Africa, we felt the pain and still feel the pain. The fact that some Western nations are still exploiting African countries' resources both human and mineral shows the evil of slavery. One disappointing fact was that powerful Africans indeed owned weaker fellow Africans as slaves themselves because I remember being told about certain families that of slavery generation. That's what is called the 'Osus' in South Eastern part of Nigeria for example.

Strange as it sounds, many Africans don't really care about their "dark skinned folk" in America. Many black Africans just want to eat and live a jolly life. I really think that black Americans should identify as Americans because there's not really much connection with Africa except for ancestry. I think it should sink in that in Africa, their ancestors were sold for gin, trinkets and the likes by some of our ancestors... some of whom continued slave trade even after it was banned. I as a Nigerian know some families that benefited and were highly involved in the trade. The fight against racism by MLK and other visionaries was a necessary struggle and it's good that there are truly positive results from that. Descendants of black slaves in America should be firstly Americans and should be accorded equal rights. The African connection is really only ancestral and not unnecessary for those that seek closure. But black Americans are not really Africans in a social sense because they don't really understand the social order in Africa. My advise to the black American dreaming of Africa is that they may return to Africa and be part of the system here if they feel so drawn. But I rather advise them to be part of a country that gives them more opportunities to excel in their endeavor rather than fantasize about a dreamy picture of Africa that really doesn't exist.

Yep this part need to be taught for real, as a jamaican slavery is taught in school but not the betrayal, but i guess even teachers didnt know either

There’s a such a monument (the Gate of No Return) in Badagry, built by the Lagos government. There’s also been the Black Heritage Festival held every year in Badagry since 1999.

Why would they, they are no different from the slave masters and chiefs who sold slaves to the europeans, they are still selling out Nigerians till today.

Not that this knowledge makes Europeans involvement okay but I think teaching this fact, the fact that there were Africans in the Americas that owned African slaves, and the fact that 380,000 Africans were brought to the United States in total while 300,000 Irish slaves were also brought would really help race relations in the United States, if taught. These facts don't change how the Democrat south that tried to keep slavery or how the horrible Jim Crow laws created by Democrats had their own impact but it would help. I truly respect your honesty and hope the new found knowledge helps you live a better life somehow.

@@sqbrazy3283 dude you're also still ignorant if you don't know that most of the time we Africans sold ourselves to these slave buyers. If we all had supported each other and stayed as one(even though we might have servants) the way slave trades were high would have been lower

Not just slavery. Colonialism plays a huge role in why Africa is where it is today.

The transatlantic and Arab slave trade were in specific regions. Where as colonialism affected all parts of the continent.

I totally agree, we forget that our ancestors traded their fellow brothers for western goods. Its disappointing seeing the african traders holding guns and chaining the people up.

Don't generalise, it was just in some parts.

So though a DNA result says majority "Nigerian" what I currently believe to be true is that way back then our people may have existed all throughout the western region.

That’s humanity it’s not unique to Africans. Throughout history every culture has taken part in these things.

This right here is the comment of the century

All humanity had classes and slaves Africa's problem is foreigners got involved.

Slavery in Africa went on for 1000 years before Europeans arrived here. More slaves were kept in Africa than were sent to Europe or the America's. The Europeans actually arrived late into the slave trade. Many do not know the famous Captain John Smith of your Jamestown, was a slave himself. He was captured by African pirates and sold to the Arabs. He then escaped and ended up in the Jamestown Virginia. I'm from Senegal and we give tours at the slave market here. Almost the whole of Africa was involved in slave trading from Rawanda to Senegal, Nigeria to Congo.

Yes ur right

and we are the same people ,it deeper than that!! we are descendant of the 12 tribes as prophecy in scriptures..we need to WAKE UP!

Ivy Pgrv I'm also Puerto Rican with Nigerian ancestors.

You do know Puerto Rican is technically not an ethnic group, meaning Port Rich off of the coastline of Florida look at my name meaning I've been looking also.

I am still told to stop with this spiritual rubbish by my family when I talk about our original beliefs. They rather I pray to a white Jesus . . .

@@malama_ka_aina na who give us Jesus???

Why we no give them Orunmila baba ifa?

Thank you ! We need to tell our stories!

This is a very indepth and painful subject Bro, my grandfather came through there the horrible experience he experience lives in me. We must never allow the narrative to be framed By the beneficiaries of our collective demise. Our unity of mind spirit and purpose is more powerful than any hydrogen bomb. Embrace our unity and see the Amazing results. Glorify the Most High Continually!

Is so unfortunate that the so called minister of tourism office is useless! There's point of no return also in Calabar/ Akwaibom, and my eyes can't believe the state(condition) of the so called museum, everything has been abandoned and the whole buildings messed up

@@ecosubb I profoundly agree..

No wonder PDP enslaved Nigeria with their UMBRELLA and looted our common wealth. So, Umbrella has been doing the magic way back.

@@olumuyiwaojo3532 😂🤣 funny but sad

Shocking truth about how Europeans used technology against us.. We need to use our history to fuel our desire to be great and outdo Europe..

Shows it's likely for similar form of event to happen in future if there is a huge difference in technological advancement between societies. We would be left with similar choice again. Wake up people, let's work harder so the unborn generation will not be confronted with same choice.

It was umbrellas, pieces of glass, canons, gunpowder, guns for people… Yup pieces of glass…. Smh anyway I am in the Caribbean and happy so some of us ended up better off…
