The picture below shows the numerous artifacts taken from Benin kingdom in February 1897. The Britain launched a decisive war using 1200 naval soldiers and 5000 colonial troops. The massacre lasted 10 days and Benin was burned to the ground. It was in response to the Benin king’s men killing seven officials from a British convoy, including its leader Captain James Phillips, which had demanded control over the palm oil and rubber trade.

Wait...


I've always read That Oba Ovoramwen N'ogbaisi died while in exile...I thought it was from natural causes or something..so he was actually executed?

You can tell the man had a lot of character by just looking at that face..even in the face of imminent danger and humiliation you could see alot of charisma and defiance on that face.

Caucasians of British decent plundered and destroyed territories without remorse.

What Caucasians did to Africans, Red Indians and Aborigines will still be felt even in 1000 years from now. Unfortunately, such barbarian's greed for wealth and blood is unquenchable.

They have equally succeeded in making sure that Africans forget their own history. Didn't Obasanjo ban study of history in Nigerian schools? We hardly learn from bitter lessons in Africa.

Nope even our forefathers are scared to tell the real story. To get more information read Max Siollun book "WHAT BRITISH DID TO NIGERIA". He also wrote other books on Nigeria history.

Reminds me of how Ragnar and his Northmen invaded England and looted every golden Chalice and took Athelstan the monk.

I wanted to say that if those guys came now, we would have resisted them but I remembered they're still taking our Oil and solid minerals.

Exactly, even the gas pipeline project to Europe is a clear example but we are all quiet about it. Tell me where Nigeria could get $13 billion to finance such a project

Taking your oil? Your government get royalties and taxes from oil. You guys make it looks like free oil. Go and get license and drill your own oil.

Africans are naturally low, that's why they try to pull each other down. If not, they would have come together and fought the British invaders but no... They would rather sell their kins men for a piece of shiny glass

Africans have done greater evil on Africans than any Caucasian could have ever done in a million years. Caucasians have more empathy and conscience that any race of people. If the black ever had the advantage of technology over everyone else, wickedness would have been hundred folds. So, give the Caucasians a break.
