Investigating Cannibalism in Restaurants [Part 1]

  • In 2014, news media around the world began reporting about a hotel in Onitsha, Anambra State in Nigeria, saying police had shut the hotel down after it was discovered that the restaurant was serving human flesh.
    This video began production in June of 2020 as what I thought would be a fun little short video debunking claims about the ludicrous notion that cannibalism restaurants actually existed. What I stumbled upon turned this into a fun short video with a short turnaround to improve my upload frequency into the single craziest story I think I've ever uncovered.
    What you'll find in this film you're watching today is a story about how rumors or a cannibalism restaurant were potentially used as cover for government corruption leading all the way to the highest office in the Nigerian government. It's a story of hostile business rivalries where a potentially corrupt politician who ran as Vice President of Nigeria in 2019 used his significant influence to sabotage and destroy a business rival. A politician who was the former governor of the state, accused of embezzling millions of government funds into his family's private business, was impeached, and used his influence to reinstate him in his government position while the people of Nigeria adore him, completely clueless to the character of the man he really might be.
    This video was an enormous undertaking and I genuinely put everything I had into it. If you at all feel like I deserve a tip, I would welcome the support with gratitude (think of it like purchasing a ticket for admission haha)

    VERY SPECIAL NOTE
    I owe an eternal debt of gratitude to my wonderful friends on this RUclips platform.
    Right at the very end of making this, after everything I had already gone through to make it, right before I finished it, my computer had a catastrophic meltdown and refused to boot. I spent days trying to get it to turn on so I could finish this video finally, and since I had lost my job back in June, hope was quickly fading that I'd be able to not only finish this video, but even continue making videos at all for you here.
    In a moment I will never forget as long as I live, my friend Nexpo texted me asking for my Paypal. After I reluctantly told him, he dropped an enormous amount of money into my account. It turns out he and all my friends had banded together and raised funds among themselves as well as fans on Discord to put together a donation pool and bought me a new PC so I could continue doing something I love and believe in so much.
    Thank you my friends. I will never forget this, as long as I live. I'd like to list the donors personally here and thank them in public for this unbelievable kindness they showed me:

    MamaMax

    Donors who wished to remain anonymous, and even though I don't know who you are, I'm eternally grateful.
    I love you guys so much, and I hope I'm in a position to help someone if this becomes more survivable, because I genuinely cannot articulate the gratitude I feel for what you guys did for me. You already had a friend in me, but I hope I can be just as supportive to you all as you are to me, now and forever.

      @@beautydraugr part of investigative journalism is uncovering possible avenues and asking the right questions. Part of creating content for RUclips that keeps people engaged is dangling that carrot and delivering on the drama (this is basic human psychology; people come back for this). The key in YOUR accusation is the word, “veiled.” He not only got much further along putting the facts together (where outlets even at the caliber of BBC failed), he didn’t just give it a clean wrap - and he could’ve safely done that. Do we KNOW that a certain self-given title means the owner is a pagan priest, let alone for an ancient sect notorious for cannibalism? Of course not, but to present the possibility - the brief twist in the story you consider, “veiled,” accusation - is totally fair game and actually GOOD journalism. Next time you’re watching any true crime or mystery documentary, note how many different possibilities they list off just for thorough exploration - half of which we know off of the bat probably aren’t true. The fact is, this situation is probably more complex and more nuanced than we can even imagine from our corners of the world. What’s your end game in attacking the *best*, most succinct coverage on this particular rabbithole? What could’ve been done better, in your opinion, and what qualifies you to determine this? Those aren’t loaded questions, I’m genuinely curious, based on this comment and your other root comment on the video.

      While we can say he did a little research, he still leaned into the bogus story and said since things he can't back up. He knew he should've dug deeper but just kinda let it be. I don't know if it's because if he did push the whole intrigue fell apart but that's kinda feeding into the problem. Just because it's not as macabre or interesting, it didn't stop being the truth.

    Obi is being held before a panel after being petitioned by Bonaventure Mokwe for ties to SARS. On January 19th of 2013, there were roughly 35 bodies found floating down the Ezu river. This started being investigated due to protest from Nigerians about police brutality and impunity. I'm sure you know this already or maybe won't see this comment, but this video was really interesting and it goes really deep. Also, incredible production value.

    I was about to comment that The Independent was one of the best British newspapers, certainly my preferred newspaper, until the print edition was shut down and the staff gutted. Now it's little better than the Daily Mail's website or the gossip section of Buzzfeed. It's no surprise that they would run with an unverified story, but when you said the BBC and any number of other reliable sources ran with the story as well, my heart sank. The constant need for new content and clicks is really putting a strain on understaffed outlets and this is the outcome - one man's reputation trashed after his livelihood was stolen, and no consequences for the powerful man who put the story out there in the first place, because as Terry Pratchett said, a lie can run around the world before the truth can put its boots on. A salacious lie is always more interesting than a relatively humdrum truth, so which one are you going to repeat? Thank you for putting so much time and effort into researching the truth behind this story.

    While I was working in Torrance with the disabled we ate at a small mom and pop restaurant. They were so nice to my clients and asked us to return the next week. When we returned a week later the male owner was extremely rude as he fed the clients we brought that day. A month or so later we found out in the newspaper that the male owner “Pop” had killed “Mom”, stored the body in the walk in, and proceeded to cut her up and feed her to customers the same day we ate there......

    This reminds me of that old tale.
    (Note: this the version I remember, and details may differ from other variations)
    The one one where an ill woman is afraid of death. She wants to find a where no one dies. She comes up with idea if she finds a village with no graves; it would mean no resident will have died there.
    So, she asks her son to find a village with no graves.
    He begins his search, and checks every village he comes across during his journey, asking,
    “Where does your village keep their graves?”
    After many month of searching, it would seem he has checked every village, and no such village exists. The son begins his journey home.
    A few days into his journey he comes upon a tiny village. He decides to stop there to rest.
    Upon entering the town, he realizes. It is one, it would seem, that he had missed. With hope rekindled, he heads to the inn of the village.
    He asks the inn-keeper, “Where does your village keep their graves?”
    The keeper replies, “I am afraid we have no place, for we have no graves.”
    Euphoric, the son makes the journey home, resolving to make two trips. One to bring his mother, and one to bring their belongings; so that she may arrive quickly before her affliction acquaints her with the icy embrace of death.
    He succeeds in bringing his mother to the town and promises to return with their things.
    When he does, he cannot find his mother. The son elects to go tavern, believing food and drink will banish any fog that may be obstructing his mind.
    He served with a meat he has never seen before. The son stops the tavern-keeper and asks, “Have you seen my mother; where is she?”
    The tavern-keeper gestures to the foreign meat, “That is a piece of her thigh.”
    Fear seizes his heart and lungs.
    The son would then learn that when someone in the village fell ill; they would be killed, and their remains eaten.
    That was the true reason the village had no graves.
    The son left, encumbered by heavy grief but propelled by horror, under the shadow of black night.

    Dear... your content is interesting, but the presentation could be better, tbh.
    The disgusting background sound effect, swelling up in volume, starting at 8:52 in this video... the "music", that is constantly too loud and distracting in comparison to your text... not sticking to the story, but interrupting yourself almost 10 minutes into it to talk about your research process and explain, why you're doing something different now etc. - that just prevents me from getting immersed. I found it very hard to ge through the video, and it's not because of you or your content.
    I came here from Nexpo and ReignBot, both of which I like a lot. Nexpo has a very monotonous, almost robotic voice, but he as well as ReignBot use far less obnoxious effects and make sure not to take the audience out of the story, once it has started.
    Please look into this. I want you to succeed and I believe you can. Don't let these details ruin your videos.
    All the best!
