Nigeria’s Slave Trade; Account Of A Descendant Of A Slave Trader
The Atlantic slave trade saw at least 10 million Africans taken against their will to the Americas to be enslaved. Many people now need ancestral dna checks/results to verify where they have been taken from.
In this video, Dami, who is a tour guide and a descendant of one of the main slave merchants in Badagry, a coastal town by the Atlantic Ocean was used as a departure point for an estimated 6 million of these enslaved Africans. Hence it is called the point of no return.
It is also known as Gberefu island, point of no return.
Nigeria was known as the slave coast for this reason, a whole lot of Africans were taken from here. It is also the reason why most Africans in diaspora can trace roots back to Nigeria.
We must now as a people, learn lessons, and apply those lessons, to ensure that slavery in any shape or form is not allowed to exist.
Thanks for watching, remember to support us by sharing this video.

Slave Coast stretched out westwards, and covered Benin, Togo and part of Volta Region in Ghana.
6 million Jews - 6 million Nigerians. Where did this figure come from?
Before slavery a country called Nigeria never existed but only Bright of Biafra and Bright of Benin with so many tribes

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.
