The Ancient And Modern Era Of Benin Kingdom 48

in history •  7 years ago 

As he was being taken to Calabar, Oba Ovonramwen lamented. I appeal to almighty and the spirit of the departed Oba's of Benin to judge between me and the Binis who ill-advice and old me into the hands of the British troops in search of their own liberty and benefit.
Oh, Benin merciless and wicked. Farewell, farewell. It is not worthy that oba ovonrawem never approved the killings of the white men at Ugbine that led to his deportation.
Some overzealous chiefs led by Ologbesere his inlaw did the havoc.

so far we have heard and read that politics in the African continent, which controls white people so that many victims fall, it turns out this, otherwise there is also a white man slaughtered by black people, or something else that is very stinging heart when we hear or read, sadly the world today

Thanks a lot for this contribution.
