Hey, I'm over here in the U.S. and I can say that the charm in the water may have been strong, but it did not really work 😄 because many of us (not enough sadly) did not forget totally who we are. It is in our African American stories and foods and our basic character. I think of the story of the Igbo Landing in Georgia. Ever heard of it? Yeah, those were Igbos who revolted on the ship, drowned the crew, and then basically drowned themselves rather than subject to the slavery. True story, look it up

I Also saw the other point of no return in Akaw Ibom and Bonny island and this one was taken care of in a better way than the rest .Very sad journey indeed ,Caribbean sister here !

I'm AA, and just want to say thank for sharing.

That makes sense, that they would have drugged the water, which made us docile🤔 Man they didn't teach us any of this in school. Thank you all for exposing the truth, we in American need to know our history.

🇺🇸 although it’s possible that they drugged it, it seems more likely that they built it over some kind of oil or mineral deposit. Which could explain the long lasting effects. It’s also possible that there was dysentery or typhoid in the stagnant water.

Very enlightening and very sad indeed. The effect of this on blacks many generations on in the Carribeans and North America is very sad indeed. Only God knows the horrors that occured on the ships and bodies thrown into the ocean. Some people are so wicked. I say this as a Nigerian born, raised and living in the UK.

I received my DNA last week and I’m Nigerian. My family would have gone through here. This is painful 😓

if you check the history you will find out the same Tinubu's family traded slaves before she fought to abolish it ,......but Tinubu's family got rich from this slave trade during the era and due to her trading with the Europeans she was made and now Tinubu seems to be one of the major key player in everything in Lagos and still enslaves the economy. foodforthought

This was so interesting to watch. Thank you for your efforts. My view is that overstanding slavery and its psychological impacts has the huge potential to change African relationships across the globe for the positive. We still haven’t collectively come to an understanding about slavery. Too many times slavery is seen by African’s solely as a historic event with no current psychological influence. Look closely and the mindsets present at the time become visible. Jah live

All over the sub-sahara God unite us all with the dark skin, but black people never see each other as one. African unity will be more greater than all of our forefathers past achievements. The unattainable task.

I'm disgusted at how the minister of culture and tourism have not put effort to reinstate this historical site. Look at the roofs of the houses and people are living in the site.

the biggest mystery to me is why nobody in this world talks about islamic slavery. This was way much bigger than european slavery and extremely cruel.

Am British bro with various ancestral heritage. I learned a lot about the Translantic slave trade, roman empire along with their slavery etc. But only was taught so little about the Saudi Arabian slave trade. Ive taught myself a lot on history. Kenya and surrounding countries suffered slavery from around 900AD until the early 1900's. The Arabs cut the manhood off the men and transported them all over the Middke East put into labour, and women were sold as set slaves. Yet so many Arabs dare judge the West as if their own Ancestors did nothing of the sort. 1 of my friends from Kenya over in Qatar often was challenged. Arabs trying to convince her to hate British etc. I told my friend Arabs are 1 of the oldest profiters of slavery and 1 of the worst in history. Not to mention so much of East Africa suffered for almost 1000 years of slavery to the Saudi Arabians but also they replaced the native language of Egypt to Arabic. They didn't stop slavery by their own voluntary choice. But cos back in the early 1900's the British government declared war on them to abolish slavery in the area. I learned for UK at least slavery ended cos devout Christians had a serious problem with what the government itself was doing. Whist it was also illegal in the UK but the corrupt didn't mind cos they were too rich etc to care. I personally honour such people for applying their faith and stopping at nothing until they convinced the government to abolish such barbaric systems. I believe Almighty God made humans free and equal, and this include man and woman are equal. God makes no mistakes and made no mistake when He gave human beings such variety of colour etc. Its something, which should be cherish and loved in all its beautiful. Same goes for everything else on this planet we all call home.

They definitely were in collaboration ( both sides are guilty)....pls for experiment try the well water on a cow or goat and see what happens ...some of our forefathers were greedy

In my opinion, no one is innocent in this case except the slaves themselves. But in psychology this is classic manipulation. Our Kings then even though they were greedy didn't know better. These colonial masters were educated they were advanced, and they still did that... Damn this is a scourge on humanity, a stain that might never be erased...

There were slave castles up and down the coast of east & west Africa!! millions of Africans saw there fellow Africans being sold off and saw how bad there fellow Africans were being treated by white foreigners In the castles before the slaves (my ancestors) were force on to those ships. Nobody Cared. I’m glade that a lot of Africans across the continent are learning about their country/tribal role in slavery! because many are still oblivious to what was done to my people. White People had help with this!

Am ANGRY watching dis. D producer asked a q dat d vid didn't fully show; I had d same q. I usually wonder, how did d foreigners get to enslave Africans? So dey freely bartered their own people? I need to know more/ d truth!

You guys should go and sit down. This is not the route all slaves went through. Calabar was the slave route in the east so not all slavery happened in Yoruba land which was even minor compared to the east. Everything you Yorubas want to turn it to your story . The Igbos and other southern states also had their experience. Which the popular Igbo landing is part of.

Export of humans to the Americas and the Caribbean. Humans. Humans. Africans. Humans. Enslaved humans

The Africans still not quite accepting responsibility for their part in capturing and selling their brothers.

It's the Ocean water that makes them hallucinates

If you dig deep into your research, Africans slaved Africans first. Africans sold their own their slaves. Portuguese were the first to buy slaves. United Kingdom, the British, The Arab countries, South America and North America and Europe bought slaves.

What a load of horse dung!

Shut you’re ignorant ass tf up, there’s more too the story then meets the eye.

It was a prophecy of the bible, to be enslaved. "Deuteronomy 28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you." Whites colonized meaning they took control of Africa. All the Africans in the world is there, right? Why would they bargain with their property (Africans) to sell other Africans? It don't make sense! Whites can take whoever they want, because Africa is for the taking. Africans sold, HEBREWS because whites didn't know who they were because they looked similar to Africans. Don't forget the prophecy of Deuteronomy. In ships right? And why it came to be that Africans sold us to our enemies. And the confusion of this story is that the victor (Whites) told and recorded history the way they wanted it to read. And we bought it because the bible had to be confused by science.
