Great work again

[@slimpickens01]

Same strategy we see today happened upon us decades and centuries before. They come in divide and conquer. Pitting one ethnic group against the others and we are so entrenched in tribalism that we fail to see the damage that is happening before our eyes. I hope that by the time we realize this and come together as a people the land is still valuable and the culture is intact otherwise one day we will realize we are in a foreign land occupied by foreigners who played us to the point we have to go through them to survive!
I am enjoying your content, keep up the good work brother

Lagos had 20 guns before the bombardment but no record of what happened to them after the bombing

Balogun Ladunji Oshodi Tapa was never sold into slavery nor captured by the Ijebu. Go get your story right.
