Lifestone: Spoken by someone who relies solely on Western styled references and books. Allow me to introduce you to an abandoned yet still relevant and, valid account of history, and that is oral accounts of tradition. Our uneducated in Western tradition elders constitute a vast repository of history and heritage. If you spent less time on the internet, and in Oyinbo libraries and dedicated more to listening and asking our village elders questions, perhaps you would be able to decipher fact from fiction. |

Ojady:You made some serious historical assertions that must be supported by references. If you are relying on oral traditions as you claimed, then tell us specifically from whom you heard it from for its acceptability and credibility.. I was interested in further knowledge Whatever, your fable makes interesting reading. |

Lifestone: My dear, I perceive you are a scholar and I want to assume, like I am, you were not constituted in a science laboratory. You have progenitors - an ancestral descent from both sides of your paternal and maternal bearings, please seek them out and ask them questions. If they have become too westernized to provide connecting answers, remember Knowledge is free and boundless, you re also welcome to venture on excursive trips to the villages of ancient Umuahia, Okigwe, Dahomey, Oyo, old Benin and seek the elders who keep oral accounts. And so while an evil genius is not meant to disclose their sources, I will be magnanimous and refer you to one of my specific oral sources. Visit Epe, and ask for an old man by the name JagboJagbo (I hope he is still alive) - a real life /true African Shaman/babalawo. I lived with his daughters 22 years ago during my GCE odyssey to those parts of Lagos (story for another day) and ask him about the origins of magun or how law and order was maintained without guns and Policemen in pre- colonial Africa. I want to stress here, a true African scholar may build his foundation on books but he cannot rely on books alone. This is solely on the premise that History has not always been written by those who were the actual actors of the event but by those who had the resources to not only mainstream their perspective but also control the narrative. And so in response, to your desperate need for references, pls look up anything on African/Nigerian history by Obaro Ikime. The ones I particularly refer to are: 1. Groundwork of Nigerian History 2. European conquest and African resistance 3. Peoples and kingdoms of West Africa in the pre-colonial period (I first read these in the Unilag Library; circa 20 years ago, sorry I cannot give you page numbers and I no longer have my copies but I am sure you will find sth online) For online references: 4. https://everyevery.ng/magun-for-rapists/ 5. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/politics/rape-of-africans-by-europeans-an-ongoing-colonial-habit/138496 6. http://www.reflectionsafricanjewelryllc.com/african-blog/african-waistbeads Allow me to clarify, I do not just wake up and "arm chair theorize" or fibulate...No Sir... I did my work, with its limitations (my being a woman being one of them and facing that which directly relates to me being my scope of study) perhaps your being a man (I assume) can expand further for us to learn more about our African heritage... As a digress, Thank you @ Mr Lifestone for rekindling my suspended passion for learning and research 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ojady:I will try and follow up on the links you referenced and I appreciate you for seeing my interest in the unwritten African History. No doubt this is a critical source, but the problem I have with oral history is the fact that it changes from generation to generation and most time some parts are completely lost. For instance I have asked my parents about my family history and have been told so many things which I am presently trying to corroborate with others sources before I can take it as the truth. You are right I am a scholar. 2 Likes |

Lifestone: Goodluck Sir, but please, brace yourself... Attimes in search of history, we find out some mind blowing and unpalatable truth, this is perhaps why some oral renditions of past events are modestly explained (omitting critical facts like incest, epillepsy etc) or exaggerated to cover up certain hard truths...but still, when we attempt to unravel adequately cover our history, we can better understand why people act the way they doour today in order for tomorrow to be |

Ojady:Very interesting madam, i find it hilarious that the so-called hexed beads were effective against town folks but failed to ward of the foreign invaders which came to take, take, take amd take more women as they pleased. Im surr the physical evidence of the failure of so called charms is a factor that has led blacks to throw away their culture rapidly in favor of thay of their oppressors. After all, it proved that the God the whites claimed to serve was evidently morr powerful than they could ever imagine. 1 Like |
