AFRICAN CULTURE What the British found when they arrived in Nigeria. “All or southern Nigeria was a land of oppression, terror & fiendish cruelty, of slave raids, slavery, juju, human sacrifice & cannibalism”. They called it the city of blood. Hundreds of people were tortured to death regularly in Juju rituals. These blood stained orgies went on for centuries & were only halted in 1897 when the British captured the city. The British stopped innocent Africans from being tortured, sacrificed & killed. One man who entered the city in the British expedition gave this description: “Altars covered with stream of dried human blood, the stench of which was awful, huge pits, forty to fifty feet deep, were found filled with human bodies, dead & dying & few wretched captives were rescued alive by the British. Sacrificial trees on which were the corpses of the latest victims everywhere, on each path, were newly sacrificed corpses. On the principal sacrificial tree, facing the main gate of the King's compound, there were two crucifled bodies”. And they call us Savages 🤨 Learn your own history.
