Wow..my ancestors came from Yoruba and Ewe/Dahomey to Louisiana U.S.A...my 7th Grandmother name was KOKWE' (CoinCoin) means 2nd born daughter...her siblings name were Djimbii..Choera amd Yancdose
@@OloRishaCreole504 that is very lovely that they were able to pass down the story of their lives to this current generation. Thank you for sharing that bit with us ❤️
The fact that most Nigerians and some Africans don’t accept us As African people and think their better than us is funny because we are trend setters of the world im a proud African from America ✊🏾💪🏾
That's so untrue Nigerians accepted African Americans but the issue is African Americans always feel superior to us and use derogatory term on us.but we defiantly accept African Americans
@@joyuyoke4999 well I have encountered otherwise I was even referred to as Akatta and I had to check him on it because I’m no cotton picker but Yet part of 1 of the 8th richest nations of the world . He told me you not Nigerian that’s what they told you. Sad to say but Nigerians can be very arrogant and I think that’s why a lot of us Africans from America migrate to Ghana as far as re locating back to our roots
It’s just a misunderstanding of culture and values, and again maybe the people you meet, African American are also rude but not all same as Nigerians, I am a very black skinned person and they call me blacky since I was a kid and it wasn’t a big deal, some fair skinned Nigerians are called oyibo every time as a normal thing, Akata is not an insult at all, don’t feel or ever think anyone can make you feel less or bad or not accepted, we weren’t brought up that way. What is normal to one person seems like a slur to another, it’s just understanding
I have never met any Nigerian or African that does not accept blacks anywhere as black. The fact that there is disrespect on both sides amongst some people not withstanding.
@@Goforit2nite There are Africans who refuse to accept that their ancestors were also complicit in the selling of Africans to the wicked slave traders.
Wow. I hope our tradition is upheld. Most of what we practice in Nigeria is Imported. And Nigerians are not Godly, they’re just religious. Welldone. My Bro. You’re doing very well! 💯
This is sad 😞 look at what we were trading for the souls of our ancestors for! The people in power back then did not care and the people in power don’t care now! We need to wake up as a continent and stand for something !
The concept of black people as a united group was born in the Americas-In southern Africa, where everyone was black, being black wasn’t a unifying characteristic. Africans were split into clans and nations, with differing tongues, dress, technology, and customs.
@@richlisola1 but that didnt justify it. In that case, it was mass tribalism which is evident in Africa today and it is not helping the continent. That Is the biggest way the slave trade affected Africa. Ethnic hatred. Ive also come to conclusion that since most Africans were kidnapped, us africans today likely have ancestors who are related to those who were taken. We were all affected.
When the Good Brother said at begining he toured African Americans and saw them tear up. I'm African American and i would be one to do just that. It would be beyond my control. Same time i'd be mad as all hell! I would prefer if i made it to one of those tours, i'd hope there wouldnt be any white people around. Not saying i'd do anything, 😂 i mean it would actually make ME PERSONALLY having the experience worser than my expectations would already be... Salutes to this vid and continued Rest In Peace to my Ancestors 🙏🏾
It is a shame that only 150 people had watched this before I did . African americans will watch in the numbers videos that claim that Egyptians were Black and many more will watch vids of great African Kingdoms that don't mention how they became great . but refuse to acknowledge the role Africa played in the slave trade . My people the African American suffers greatly from willful ignorance and fictional history beliefs .
People don’t like true history. They rather see theories and ideas. Which is sad. We need to do our own learning since they won’t there to teach this at school.
People are evils. I am European (Polish) and my ancestors have been enslaved, kept in and killed in conentration camps. Some have died in gas chambers, some died as a result of cruel medical experiments. I have been to Badagry as point of no return and I have been to Haiti and Jamaica at the points of arrival. Very few know, as this is not catchy story, that on their way to America, those ships were stopping in Ireland to "offload" those who died en route and "onload" Irish slaves. Shame on us human race that human trade and trafficking still takes place. Vide "slave trade" markets in Egypt and Libya. Can be found on yt. It's heartbreaking and disgraceful. We are not learning and money is still what people are prepared to disgrace themselves for. Fela Kuti on my mind.
Unequal exchange if they had 1% of Black American brain power there wouldn't have been slavery ,the Americo librarians are black American for fathers went back and stopped slavery in vast areas of west Africa.
AFRICAN Leaders, Kings, Queens and Chiefs need to aplogies for selling our people to the Arabs Muslims and Europeans. The Arabs Muslims and Christian Europeans who bought and captured Africans and enslaved them, also need apologies to the decendants of enslaved Africans in the Americans, North Africa, Middle East and India. Followed by reparation from the Middle Eastern countries, America, Britain, Portugal, France, Spain.
it was barely ever cheifs and queens. 10 million slaves were taken it is impossible they were all taken as prisoners of war or preexisting slaves under the order of royals. Hence, Africans were kidnapping each other. Tribalism is what needs to apologize
Slavery has never ended but just modernised. France is still very much into enslaving its colonies and no one is kicking against it. They help the old wicked leaders in their colonies hold onto power because they are doing the bidding in enslaving their people.
Slavery is as old as humanity. There are now more slaves worlwide then there has ever been. The word slave comes from the slavic people that were traded to the arabs.

I haven't watched your videos in a while but I'm glad you are still doing it and growing. Appreciate the videos cus I'm learning a lot from it.
Thanks so much
I watched another video featuring this tour guide "Cornerstone". He gives very detailed explanation about the history.
Cool. He’s a good tour guide

I’ve always wondered why my last was Antonio, my mom told me my ancestors were slaves from Brazil. Now it makes sense from watching this video
Are you from Lagos-island, Nigeria?
@@nmg1909 my dad is
Sad Story ,God bless you guys
Amen .. Thanks 🙏
This got me crying 😭😭..... I can't believe human beings went through all that 😭😭
What is even more sad is that we have MORE slaves today than ever. But no one cares to put an end to it.

We have to most slaves today than ever before. And it’s sad that no one cares to put and end to it. I wish there was something we can do.
So sad!
How about preserving the objects by wearing gloves.
This is really making me angry 😢.

What does that have to do with the topic at hand?
A museum of shame.
