On this DAY, the Black power convener, Stokely Carmichael was born. Stokely, a Pan-Africanist and voice behind Black power who changed his name to Kwame Toure in honor and admittance to those he got inspiration from, that is the Revolutionary, first president of Ghana, the father of Pan-Africanism, Kwame Nkruma and also another Revolutionary, first president of Guinea, Sekou Toure. This happened after the Black panther movement in America compromised supporting a fraction of the white wing supremacists. His famous quote:
A man is born free. You may enslave a man after he is born free, and that is in fact what this country does. It enslaves black people after they're born, so that the only acts that white people can do is to stop denying black people their freedom; that is, they must stop denying freedom. They never give it to anyone. Till this day, little or nothing has been done to undilutedly change this narrative.

THE UNTOLD STORY OF ISAAC BORO

Before Ojukwu, there was a young Isaac Jasper Boro. Before the Republic of Biafra, there was the Niger Delta Republic.

Major Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro (September 10, 1938 – May 9, 1968) was a freedom fighter, up until after his arrest, March 7, 1966.

Boro was an undergraduate student of Chemistry and student union president at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, but he left school to lead an armed protest against the exploitation of oil and gas resources in the Niger Delta areas which benefited mainly the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Eastern region with the capital at Enugu.
Boro believed that the people of the area deserved a larger share of the proceeds of the oil wealth because nothing was given to the Niger Delta people. He formed the Niger Delta Volunteer Force, an armed militia with members consisting mainly of his fellow Ijaw ethnic group, declared the Niger Delta Republic on February 23, 1966, and fought Nigeria's federal forces for 12 days but were eventually defeated. Boro and his comrades were then jailed by the Aguiyi-Ironsi Federal Military Government for treason.

Before he declared the Niger Delta Republic, Boro's father, a learned educationist, had offered his son sponsorship abroad to further his education rather than take up arms against the government. The senior Boro feared that the action would ruin the family but Boro rejected his father’s offer. He explained that: "The Ijaws were going into perpetual bo***ge; if we do not strike now, not only our families but also the entire Ijaws would be infernally chained.” On his declaration of the secession of the Niger Delta Republic on February 23, 1966, Boro exclaimed: "Today is a great day, not only in your lives but also in the history of the Niger Delta. Perhaps, it will be the greatest day in a very long time. This is not because we are going to bring the heavens down, but because we are going to demonstrate to the world what and how we feel about oppression. "Remember your 70-year-old grandmother who still farms before she eats; remember also your poverty-stricken people; remember, too, your petroleum which is being pumped out daily from your veins; and then fight for your freedom. "Before today, we were branded robbers, bandits, terrorists, or gangsters, but after today, we shall be heroes of our land." However, Boro went on to fight for Nigeria against Biafra during the Civil War but was killed under mysterious circumstances in active service on May 9, 1968, at Ogu (near Okrika) in Rivers State. He was 29.

Over the years, we as a people have failed the true heroes past, many are still in love with their oppressors, they find it difficult to see a son of nobody become somebody. The "Not Too Young To Run" scampish initiative by the Nigerian political elites was unwillingly sold to us, but amazingly, the youths of today are the ones kicking against their likes, the competent, and willing ONES.

Ghana was the first country to gain independence in Africa.

On 6 March 1957, the Gold Coast (now known as Ghana) gained independence from Britain. Ghana became a member of the Commonwealth of Nations and was led to independence by Kwame Nkrumah who transformed the country into a republic, with himself as president

Happy independence day Ghana, shout out to Kwame Nkrumah the true Liberationist. Thank you Ghana for taking the bold step to attaining independence, and thanks for fronting the black race to seek liberation on this day.

This is the unpopular story of the first slave traders in Africa. Holistically, plz check how Islamic religion came to Africa🤐

The Sub-saharan Slave trade that took place was an act by Arabic slave traders before European slave traders took their turn. From the Greek to the Roman empire, Europe has always been into slavery, enslaving themselves for Land acquisition & search of labor. At some point, Rome invaded a part of Africa, Tunisia, formally known as Carthage.

In the course of the Mesopotamia slave trade & Persia slave trade, the ultimate slave trade boom in Africa, I.e the Arab slave trade, started from the Islamization of Egypt & the taking over of Algeria from the Berbers, hence Algeria was Islamized. Arab slave trade continued & came into Sub-Saharan & Central Africa.

Arabs created the path for the Europeans after over 100 years of the Arab slave trade in Africa. Until there's room for repatriation as applicable in all forms of slavery, both Europeans & Arabians are guilty of this
