    We have a school in Jamaica that is named after this state (Calabar). It's funny, I dreamt I visited Nigeria last night. I have very strong spiritual tie to Nigeria that honestly, I don't understand. At certain times, I feel like something literally pulling me to Nigeria. It seems like the community where I come in Jamaica was settled by the Yoruba people. Because many of the people in the community have Yoruba first names. So, I assume that my paternal ancestors were Yorubas. But what is it that kept pulling me to Nigeria? Is it something spiritual?

    My brother Tayo, I mean no disrespect, and I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure what Mary Slessor did. But, for me and because of the work I do, I am almost 100% sure that there is more to this story than meets the eye. She was not the only Scottish missionary in Calabar and it seems that she was "no angel", and was apart of the larger practice of sending European missionaries to Africa to "Civilize/Christianize" the so-called "savage/heathenistic" Africans to gain their trust and prepare the way for the colonizing of African countries and the stealing of African resources. And, these stories that are regurgitated and have not been fully scrutinized are why African people and other people around the world believe that Europeans are the Saviors of the African race.

      Long before Mary Slessor came to Calabar, the then Obong of Calabar has already made plans to abolish the killing of twins. I have the letters written by him as evidence.
      Mary Slessor is not my hero. She came on the same slave ship that the slave traders came in. I don’t consider such a person my hero.

    The Slave Trade and Slavery is a real stain on human history - and existed until very recently in Africa and the Middle East. But Museums like this will have a greater impact if they get their information strictly and coldly correct!

    However, Mary Slessor could not have been responsible for the abolition of killing of twins in Nigeria because not every tribe in Nigeria killed twins! The Yorubas were never killing twins, in fact we love twins and have special orikis for them.
    Ms. Slessor was responsible for abolition of killing of twins only in regions like south south Nigeria where twins killing was practiced. Let's be careful not parrot these tired half-truths
