ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- Dr Catel discusses what the various nations and peoples in Nigeria were up to during the transatlantic slavery era. In this Episode we revisit nations such as Oyo Empire, Benin Kingdom, Kanem-Borno, Hausa Kingdoms, Kororofa and more.
BNH is going to be like a crash course (or an edutainment series) on Nigerian history using animation and clever commentary in order to educate and entertain. Along the way it will also touch on other parts of West African history.

I did a DNA test and found out im 45 % Nigerian. I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. Im here to learn more about my Nigerian People
Me too! I’m 24% (it’s my largest African portion) and I traced most of my ancestry to be Igbo (as the majority of slaves in Virginia and surrounding states were Igbo). I have plenty of genetic matches (30 Igbos) and relatives still living in Imo and Anambra States and I’m in contact with them. Proud to be mainly of Igbo descent!
I’m 63% Nigerian born in Jamaica...
why i cringe reading this lol
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
@@miriczs23 me too lol
I just found out i'm 57% Nigerian. i am now on a mission to learn as much as i can.
Cool, which ethnic group? I got Yorúbá 40%
@@wolf-bearchief3705 How fid you find out which ethnic group you are?
My DNA says I’m 63% Nigerian but i was born in Jamaica and I’m also studying and researching Nigerian history,thank you 👍🏾
a lot of Caribbean countrys were owned by British most people in it come from Africas ivory coast.
ur most likely to be igbo
@@danielkumi1656 Just curious… Why’d you say that?
@@foreverclemy if u look up the red africans of Jamaica u will see what i am saying , most of the african people that were from nigeria that were brought to Jamaica were igbo and edo , but most likely igbo
@@danielkumi1656 and by some degree Yoruba
I found out im 26% Nigerian! I was born in Georgia!
yea u should be from the igbo tribe in Nigeria
I don’t even know where you get these informations from but with the coherence and sound delivery,you affirm the facts. Really engaging!
Bibliography is in the description
Jacob Stringfellow You sounds very disrespectful to a man who dedicated himself to this history.. I’m sure he is not hiding the facts Muslim were slaves traders. He is specifically covering a time period..
Thank you ... really appreciate your time and effort. Well done. 👍🏿
You look and sound like a Yoruba dude, but you're murdering the names and pronunciations 😂. Still, great and educative videos though 👍
I am just discovering this channel after 4 years?! kudos bro.
From America: You provide so much detail with your videos. You should also write books. I’d love to read more from one or two coherent sources than the piecemeal way I’ve been learning thus far.
@@jacobstringfellow9718 LMAO. Where did he lie though? Homie take a chill pill. In your mind you know more. In reality though.
@@jacobstringfellow9718
Im from the U.S. 🇺🇸 I have so much resentment toward America. For centuries they have tried to hide where my ancestors was taken from. Negro Americans are waking up. I just recently learned that there was an area in Africa called Negro land.

Dominant blood from my DNA is Nigeriam with 37%. I'm claiming from Texas and as a descendant of slavery.
You're not a slave, we shall rise and claim our place in this world
Yes my grandparents migrated from Texas to California. I often wonder why 🇺🇸called our ancestors Negros. I saw old colonial newspaper advertising igbos for sale.

Hi! Great video, thank you!!
So much respect for the Nri Kingdom ✊🏿
more like the Edo kingdom who refused to sell slaves
@@agberodongetinternet8651 Respects to both of them, but the Nri Kingdom not only didn’t sell slaves but ABOLISHED slavery in its Kingdom. It gave all runaway slaves FREEDOM in the land .
The Benin / Edo Kingdom permitted slavery and it’s rulers owned slaves.
Whilst it didn’t sell them often initially they did begin to sell slaves to Europeans more in the latter years of the Kingdom
@@agberodongetinternet8651 Who’s competing with your Benin Kingdom? SMH
@@sjappiyah4071 Though most kingdoms in Africa and the rest of the world owned slaves a remarkable figure in the benin/edo kingdom was Oba Esigie who in 1530, passed a law against the export of slaves or slave trade, though unfortunately they had slaves which was more on servitude basis, selling slaves was also seen as a taboo, I read an article about it recently.
Very interesting history. Thank you for giving us a peek into Pre-Colonial Africa.
I just found out I'm 48% Nigerian my DNA
Well in that area ..
48% Bruhh you probably should have known that without taking a dna test doesn’t that mean that you’re parent is Nigerian you’re almost half Nigerian that means one of your parents are like fully Nigerian
@@stephenlastname852 Well thanks for the insight.
@@stephenlastname852 not true. us black americans don’t know where we came from due to slavery. i asked my mom and all she could tell me was she knew her great grand parent was a slave. i’m 35% 🇳🇬
@@dznArro welcome to the Nigerian community 😄
Great video you need more viewers
I totally agree, there should be a way to promote his page
Thanks. Really interesting. I would like to learn more about the Origins of the Ibos/Igbos.
Igbo not ibo, is the white people that call that ibo but the real one is igbo
outstanding ... a big round of applause from me ... WELL DONE!!
Great work bro.....I love your videos, I’ll share your page 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Please do! Thank you so much
The Transatlantic slave trade started circa 1434 by the Portuguese called Alonzo Gonzalves and never 1526. Please research this further.
Proudly benin, the land of igodomiegodo
Presentation is excellent
Thanks a lot
Bruh. I like to believe that the reflection of the light ring in his glasses are his pupils. It makes the whole thing much more interesting. Yoruba for life
Bro you're a legend
I so much like dz....nice one Catel
Am new here , I love your content
Thanks for subbing
Good video.
Lies
Best channel ever!
Great video and narration as always
I loved this.. just subscribed, good job👍
Thank you.
GREETING From, ONE Nigeria, l love your historical history of Nigeria, because the time has come to restore the lost tribe of Loin of judah,
Very interesting
Thank you for this history for us in the Diaspora.
Nice 1
Lies
So what was the Activity of the Ibibio People and their defence system during this Time?
They are more of slave traders which the igbos told them to stop because many them was kidnapping igbo people and after that the join force to fight the portuguese and chase them out read about aro and ibibbo, Calabar confederation.
Islam been having wars since the start of time....why I would never understand.....don't even get me started about the hausa and their military...
Its not islam, they are mohammedans. They actually conquered hausas but according to this brother Uthman Dan Fodio the biggest dealer of slaves in Africa was a reformer. Lmao@ how he has people believing his bs
@@jacobstringfellow9718 i believe islam /mohammedans played a huge part in the transatlantic slave trade....i dont get the logic of killing/selling your own people only to just empower the Oyinbo's lol and now our physical strength means nothing cuz they have bombs!
@@jacobstringfellow9718 mate...Servitude is what i believe was done 200 years before the Europeans(with pay and status) NOT SLAVERY (which is not a choice)...and u are still making my point about islam/arabs.....there is never any peace or common sense approach
What was the effect of the Fulanis on oyo decline
There was no such thing as olu of warri but ode of itsekiri. It is the itsekiri that had interaction with the Portuguese. Mostly in the riverine area.
The Bini did interact with Portuguese what he said about Dom Domingo is true , but you are correct Itsekiri were more frontward with Portuguese for reasons I don’t know , I do know that there are Portuguese phrases within the Itsekiri language though.
You have failed to link how the Europeans introduced ammunition into the trade. How did sugar plantation began in Sao Tome Island by the Portuguese using slaves that led to revolution that made them ran to the Caribbeans where they started large scale plantations which led to higher slaves labour demands.

Great job. Have you done anything on the Igbo Women's Revolt. When Igbo women joined to fight the British. It was an incredible story. Thanks and keep up the good work
@@mikejones4359 now I get the point. Bornu is the oldest ethnic group ever live in Ghana and Nigeria. 1st Akan tribe was also call Borno but spelt in Ghana Bono before the Great Ashanti and Nfantis n other 9 ethnic groups to form the Akan. Bono is the mother of 12 tribes in Akan. These tells me that Wadugu or Ghana, the Bornos play Integra Role of their structure.
How come you didn't mention Uthman Dan Fodio was the biggest slave dealer in Africa? You never mentioned Islamic enslaving when they were the main slave raiders. Read the books written by eyewitnesses and not scholars or professors who only have theories. For some reason you are trying to hide mohammedans involvement in slavery.
@@jacobstringfellow9718 bro I couldn’t agree more. I think he’s biased. And he never explained who was selling who in this video
I am surprised I am an Afonja WELL Keep it up
It’s funny when black ppl talk about slavery like it was cash and carry but I ask one question. Could the Nigerian nations say NO and the slave cargo ship would leave?
Yes they could in theory, but where they prepared to deal with the ramifications of refusal? No. Those that did were massacred
@@khaliddontplay818 Not even remotely true. They sold their people cause they wanted gunpowder and currency. Tribalism has always been, and seemingly always will be apart of Africa. Even in 1936, the un-colonized part of Africa Ethiopia still had slavery and cannibalism until the Fascist Dictator Mussolini harshly civilized them and brought modern architecture. You think a culture that still rapes and pillages deep into the 19th century was forced into selling their own people?
Intriguing
Lies
I found out im 36% nigeria I love to learn what tribe I am
Proud to be yoruba
The Igala kingdom would have been an important player during this era but whatever good video nonetheless
Terrible video, filled with lies
I just come across this video
Thank you for this lesson. I'm African American who traced my DNA to a city called Lokoja in Nigeria. Did Lokoja have a connection to Wari as a major slave trading base in this part of Nigeria?
yes u most likely igala in lokoja nigeria the were transported too
Love from india❤️💜💖🇮🇳
How do u know all this stuff
❤
Good work, in principle, Ronu Spirit. But, regarding ‘Warri’, there is no ‘Warri kingdom’, really. There are at least 2 other peoples in Warri, and they do not recognise the Itsekiri king and do not defer to him. In fact, the Itsekiri, whose king you call the king of Warri, are a minority group in Warri. Their king was not called the Olu of Warri until Awolowo declared him thus in some effectively worthless Western region gazette (perhaps as reward to the Itsekiri for supporting the Action Group (Awolowo’s political party)). Until this move by Awolowo, the Itsekiri homeland was actually outside Warri town - in a place called ode-Itsekiri. The Itsekiri king actually had his throne in that Itsekiri homeland, which was in reality a settlement mostly floating on water (outside Warri town). True, the Itsekiris did well for themselves re Bini and Portuguese affiliations, but Warri was never and isn’t a kingdom - and the notion that there’s an Olu of Warri is a fiction and a fallacy. A million gazettes won’t change this. Apart from the itsekiris, no one cares about their Olu in Warri.
It’s not your fault that you have peddled this falsehood. You are not from Warri. But please now note that your position on Warri is incorrect.
Uhrobo, isoko, itsekiri etc we all migrated from the kingdom of benin.
Hello...how can 1 contact you?
No mention of Kalabari a.k.a New Calabar and Bonny area??? I'm shocked that was were ships were docked and slaves were put on boats and ships and also trade of cannons and other weapons took place there the Portuguese and later the English all settled there in Buguma, the king of Kalabari was the first African king to be officially recognised by the British crown I can go on and on and on
Please, give more educational history.
Wish they had a list of the tribes that were taken from Nigeria.
The largest tribes taken were the igbo and Yoruba along with some Fulanis to North America
@@Callherchi I heard there was some ibibio anaang efik urhobo and edo people also.
tommie russell yeah but they were minorities since their tribes were smaller than the ones I mentioned
@@Callherchi are you Nigerian my bro
tommie russell yes
I heard Ijaws were heavily involved in slavery at calabar/bonny
That is a lie, it was the king of dahomey and the fulani under the leadership of the sultan of sokoto.
Heavily
@@jacobstringfellow9718 the Fulani's sold slaves, the Ijaws n the calabars also sold slaves
Calabar? Definitely untrue
@@udob4939 calabar sold slaves too
Why the Sun Glasses
My nephew makes youtube videos. I know about that circular lamp he is using. The lamps make lighting smooth but it is super bright
This is biblical y'all sold the original
Hebrews the original Hebrews was sold
Yoruba was created by the British and other slave hunters circa 1808 as Yarriba and later Yoruba. Yoruba formerly Yarriba is a conglomeration of Dahomey, Fulani, Oyo slave hunters and some Negro Kingdom like Egba. Abeokuta was established in 1830 from a brutal slave raids of Oyos,Dahomians and fulanis and you can research this.

If you want to he taken seriously dress seriously!
My ancestors were slave traders....
Are you Nigerian? If so what tribe?
You didn't do any justice to the Kwurarafa kingdom, or maybe you didn't feel you needed to read more on what they did. And you were absolutely wrong on paying homage to the kanem of Borno. Igala didn't pay homage for Borno, instead they migrated southward where they encountered the Benin, Igbo and Yoruba people and in the process, they created a very strong kingdom there.
Oh SWEETHEART I didnt understand anything you said
My DNA is 27%
