- In Nigeria stands a statue of an African slave trader revered by the nation. There are no plans to call for this statue to fall in the near future. A square in Lagos is named after her. Her name was Efunroye Tinubu.

You should never attempt to either erase nor to rewrite true and factual historical accounts. We live and learn. Leave it be, when it’s factually true. Period. Thank you Simon.
We learn nothing from lies!

Tell uncomfortable truths and you'll be erased.

You or we shouldn't, but some will and for false reasons...
@@raypurchase801 which video was that please?
You won't hear this on the BBC or in most universities.
Most universities? I'd be interested in hearing which are the honourable exceptions.
I will be covering this when I do Black History Moment (they do not warrant more than a one hour tutorial). I always counteract the Lies and propaganda that the College give as lesson material, with factual evidence. Last Year they tried saying a Black man invented the light bulb (28 years after Edison's patent) and a Black man invented Traffic lights (168 years after we installed them outside of the Houses of Parliament, and 23 years after an American - White - policeman invented the first electric/automated ones). I also teach the probability that Mary Seacole was more likely to be a brothel madam than a 'private' nurse for officers.

Well done as usual Simon. Keep on exposing the appalling and quite frankly racist hypocrisy wherever you find it. You're a fundamentally honest man with a wealth of knowledge and a lone voice with a great ability to laugh in these dark times.
It is incredible how ignorant many people are when it comes to the history and the prevalence of slavery.

But I think that's the point. We are not suggesting that other countries, particularly in Africa should erase their history. But pointing out that all these activists are not making a fuss about African slavers but are only concerned with British slavers. I think we all agree that by todays standards slavery was abhorrent but it's happened, infact it's still happening but with different victims, but by destroying history it's not going to alter the fact it's occurred. Plus people like Colston spent a large part of their wealth to improve the lives of others.
Long live Simon Webb. There's none other online like him.
It's all about division, they use lies to achieve this .

You are right, it has ALWAYS been that old trick of 'divide and rule'.
The statue of Nelson Mandela needs to be taken down, it has no place in our culture.
He also bombed civilians.
@David Field The fact the BBC condones such behaviour, by not condemning it, tells us all we need to know. The people who protected Savile were upholding a long and filthy BBC tradition.
Get your friends together and go take it down if it offends you do much.

That’s a racist standard.
@David Field depends where you are.Good that you feel good in your skin, but if your only quality it that you miss melanin, then you have to make some changes.
A joke, Joe?
Ima Dogsass....I think I’m with you here. I’m listening to his video with unease. I understand entirely the idea that blacks were worse than whites when it comes to the slave trade, but the airy attitude of ‘ that makes it all better, then’ is troubling.
The woman mentioned in this video sounds like a complete horror. It’s always awful when women do this sort of stuff, somehow.
It’s not about black and white - it’s about good and evil.
I'd say she's probably of her time, you can't judge the past with the standards of today, which is what the woke are doing right now.
I wonder if this mercantile-savvy Woman will feature in the 'Black History Month' syllabus?
Very good question!
Of course not it doesn't fit the narrative .

@Jack Smith 🇰🇵☦️🥔 How ironic that the nation of Islam (wherever that is) is talking about slavery when their own "prophet" bought, sold, owned and traded in slavery and in fact slavery is seen as being okay for Muslims to be involved in for the last 1400 years and is still going on today but it's never talked about because we dare not offend the "religion of peace".
Now African Americans know who they can get their reparations from.
Cause I did my family tree and we never owned a slave. In fact we collectively lost 5 men and a leg fighting to free slaves. Two branches of family lost absolutely everything as a result. We just crept back into the middle class in my parents’ generation. You want reparations? Me too! Or maybe just some gratitude.
Imagine if a white Englishman migrated to Nigeria and threw a can of red paint on Tinubu's statue demanding it's removal. He'd be jailed at the very least. A Nigerian migrant does the same to Colston's statue and it's thrown in the harbour and a statue of the vandal erected in its place
Nigerian migrants have better things to do.
@@lindasmith7229
If that were so, then Nigerian migrants would do better things in Nigeria.
Seems as though the educated black man living in England, and thoroughly enjoying the Western way of life, loves to have a massive dig at British society at every opportunity, yet EXPECTS and demands his hypocritical views are heard, and that we should appreciate them.

Yes l saw one man agreeing that the picture of the Queen be removed in the college.His parents were from Jamaica well if he doesnt like it he can always move to the land of his forefathers .makes me mad .
I understand slavery still continues in Africa to this day.
Yes but they won't talk about that. In fact they won't talk about any black on black crime whatsoever. Just ask BLM's very own Sasha Johnson, but she won't tell you about it either
@Any One the numbers talk for themselves
@Bob Holly based on what you make this assumption? Please share your data or your experience
@Any One even if your numbers are correct, you have to factor in the population. US and Africa had a lower population in 19 century so it could be a larger share of population could be enslaved. Now in Africa it could be 1-2 billion people, so 10 million slaves are 1% of population. In US black people are more than 1%, if we ignore European emigration in 20 century, we can assume that the same proportion of black slaves existed prior to 1860.
@@Kannot2023 There are very many people in Africa who are slaves. The conditions they endure and the reasons why they are enslaved might be varied, but they are slaves.
The use of disputed statistics to make comparisons is pointless as the numbers today indicate that slavery continued in Africa.
Slavery in Africa predates the Arab Slave Trade which predates the Atlantic Slave Trade, and so the point can be made that most African slaves were enslaved in Africa by Africans.
The areas where they are now held tells us that some of the Africans who own slaves are black Africans and others are of Arab or Berber descent.
I had the discussion with left-leaning friend and his only response was, 'Well two wrongs don't make a right'. Well at least he got one thing right. They don't.
Keep up the good work Simon. I was born in central Ghana. The heartland of the Ashanti kingdom which was a large and regionally strong slave trading "nation". But today they prefer to blame everything on the "white man". Pathetic.
She sounds like a strong, independent, successful business owner and entrepreneurial black woman. The perfect icon for gender and racial equality and a fantastic example to use in those school history classes, homework assignments, TV documentaries and black history month, certainly good enough to rub shoulders with the likes of Mary Seacole and the guy that invented the light bulb..... What's that? She was a slave trader...? Tinubu who....?

Great presentation Simon
Why on earth is there a black history month in UK schools.... don't understand how it is relevant...what exactly do they teach???
I left the UK 45 years ago .
It always suprises me how the trans atlatinc slave trade is the one thing that comes to mind when you mention slavery,it's like all the other previous
forms of slavery and those after that seems to be ignored or just down toned because they don't want to talk about other cultures or nations taking and using none colored slaves.
Quite.
It has become THE slave trade, not A slave trade.
The word "slave" comes from the word "Slavic" , due to all the white people sold into slavery by the Islamic empire. We are F****d my friend. They have took our guns, took our rights to travel, took our rights to free speech, forcing vaccines in people..... We need to wake up.

Ignorance & hypocrisy are complementary & self-reinforcing traits.
That same ignorance and hypocrisy seems to be running rampant in both the US and UK at the moment. Nobody mentions that not long after the US was founded, the Slave Trade Act of 1794 was passed, prohibiting "American ships from engaging the international slave trade." There were a string of other laws, starting in 1800, and stretching to 1820, passed as well. They intended on trying to abolish it that soon, but this is ignored by today's ignorant activists.
In reality, the activists actions aren't about slavery nor race at all. They were created to sow division in the US and UK, where shock therapy, and disaster capitalism, are rearing their ugly heads again. They have to tear it down to "build back better."
I believe -- it was a long time ago, when I was a boy and had then no interest in history -- but in my primary school history lessons gave a balanced view. If my memory has not let me down, I am sure as a child I learned that slavery existed long before Britain and other countries became involved, and long after Britain withdrew from the Slave Trade it continued.
The quotation here is telling. The Nigerian lady who supplied the slaves: 'I would rather drown the slaves than be forced to sell them at a discount'.
It always puzzled me that in the TV series and novels Roots the author traced not only his ancestors back to landing in America but back to the tribal village to find any sign of family still there. What he didn't do was trace those responsible in Africa for his ancestor becoming a slave. I wonder why not? Would they not be the ones to seek 'reparations' from?
I think your memory is probably very accurate. I loved history as a primary school pupil and although I am now 63 can remember some lessons vividly. It was not all British-centric: I can remember the stories of Alexander the Great and Marco Polo as well as learning about the Romans. I loved the tales of Alfred the Great and then the change brought to England by the Norman Conquest. It gave me an idea about our culture, history and place in the world. It gave me a sense of how our country emerged into the country it is (or was in the 1960s). I felt a sense of belonging. In present day Britain, our children are taught to be ashamed of our history and are disconnected from the past. This shame and disconnect is then reinforced by TV, modern history books and university courses. We must try to pass on our knowledge and love of our history to our children and grandchildren to counteract the propaganda being forced on our young.
Keep bringing the truth to the fore, it is fascinating to hear the truth for a change. We have been brainwashed about history far too long.
The slave trade atrocities in Africa were not confined to just Nigeria. Ghana has a black past. The slaves that were hunted and gathered up were sold to slavers. They were pushed through a hole in a wall onto the slave ships.............by Ghanaians.
When I was in Africa, I actually saw the the deportation place myself.
@harry flashman interesting comment, I spent 5 years in Mozambique. Much of that time in the northern provinces. In quelimane there is a river which leads out to the ocean The slaves that were caught by local hunters were sold to Portuguse slavers, and then sailed down the river to the ocean. If they saw a British warship, they knew that they would have the ship taken if it had slaves on board, so they would put them over the side, still in chains and drowned them all. This meant sharks would come up river to feast, that shark is called the Zambezi. I’ve actually seen those sharks in that river, and been in that river myself, which is another story!
@harry flashman I went there in 1987 for a 5 month contract, but stayed 5 years. I enjoyed my time there, in a harsh but beautiful country. I thought that the Mozambique people were beaten down. They had a war going on, mixed in with hunger, greed , sunshine and poverty.
@harry flashman when I was there, all I used to think about was coming home, so I drive on flat smooth roads and drink water out of a tap. What a let down.

Oh! This topic is a wake up call. Well done. History is always being re-written by people who want to promote themselves. I suppose it's the between factual history, and legends.
The transatlantic slave trade would NEVER have been as "successful" as it was without the connivance of the slaves own countrymen in the supply of candidates to the waiting European, Braziluan and American ships on the coast of Africa
Pls dont forget the Arabs who started the whole thing and had black and white slaves
@@sakabula1285 The Turks too under the Ottoman Empire.
When I was at Louisiana State University I worked as a museum technician at the natural history museum there. My boss was an archaeologist who invited me on a field trip to various historic and archaeological sites in Louisiana and Mississippi. One of the places we went was a reconstructed french fort and trading post from the early 18th Century. (The site of the original was destroyed by the Red River.) He informed us that the fort was built with Apache slaves purchased from the Caddo, a nearby tribe that were known to be merchants. They traded in a number of things, (at a prehistoric Caddo site obsidian sourced to the valley of Mexico was found,) but one of the items they sold were slaves.
It would seem its only white European history that's being destroyed but we have to ask why and what is coming after that.
She is possibly a front runner along with the saintly Mary as a candidate to appear on the new 50 pound note.
Or we could perhaps have David Olusoga himself, the very famous 'man on the telly'.
Thank you Simon for showing the hypocrisy of these shallow minded people lt really is disgusting. l enjoy your endeavor to open people's eyes..

David Olusoga needs to come clean and stop being a hypocrite. He has lost all credibility in my eyes as a historian as he does nut present a balanced view of the past.
NEVER DID, ALL THOSE HOUSES HE FILMED IN, HAD A VERY INTERESTING HISTORY, BUT OF COURSE, THAT SHIT STIRRER WAS ONLY INTERESTED IN ANY CONNECTION TO SLAVERY. NO MATTER HOW TENUOUS.
Another interesting, factual bit of slavery history uncovered . I suspect there are many other similar African & other non-European Slave Traders who are venerated & commemorated in Africa & elsewhere with statues, place names & street names etc Their stories might make an exciting round the world adventure book....& Hollywood film. Simon ??
Why should we tear down statues and monuments of people like Lee and Davis (Ameican Southeast), and why should American statues of our presidents and Columbus come down if Africa still praises the practice of slavery? Why should it matter to the western world to change if the source of the issue has no plan to change?
Edit: spelling errors
Or the fact that slavery still exists today!
How can we learn from history if it is rewritten to suit a particular eras agenda?

Kemi Badenoch has spoken about her, when our statues were being toppled. What we could do for Black History Month later this year is topple the Cecil Rhodes statue in Oxford and put Madam Efunroye Tinubu in pride of place.

Thank you sir for posting a very informative article, its such a shame that people do not read history from both sides if they did then they might understand. There is no country in the world that doesn't have blood on it's hands.
always worth reminding that Colston was a trader, not a slaver. He lived for 84 years, traded for about 60 and for just 12 of these was part of the Royal African Company - which did buy & sell slaves as a small part of it's dealings (all slaves were bought from local chiefs or Arab slaver traders). But, NO evidence was found by Bristol Uni that he joined any of those ventures. He headed the company for just 1 year, then sold up and left and we don't know why. So as he had not invested in those ventures, you could draw the conclusion that he didn't agree with them. We do know he made his money from trading wine & fruit from Iberian peninsular, selling cloth & financing. The statue was in recognition that he then bestowed his wealth on Bristol. But lets not let the facts get in the way of the agenda. If the city of Bristol decide they wish to be disassociated with Colston, then his endowments to be city should be returned to his descendants.
Very interesting video. Thank you
And slavery is alive and "well " in Africa to this day

Always a pleasure watching your video,s. Yes many people choose to ignore the fact that if there was no black slave traders , there would have been no slave trade.....
Rubbish. U do not have to buy a product , U have a choice.
The colonizers are worse . They tied up slaves, packed them on a ship like sardines, if they fell ill they were thrown in the sea. Poor salty diets were fed to slaves. Brought to Caribbean, forced to work in hot sun, unpaid.
Slaves never returned to Africa, never saw relatives and friends again. No contact period. Sad
They did not receive a decent burial. Buried on plantations. Forced to speak English, names were changed to English. Religion was changed
Which is worse? Africans sold but did not enslave?
.U have a choice if a product is bring sold.
Despite this cruelty, colonizers were compensated to end slavery. Descendants are millionaires.
Blacks are poor and face discrimination daily
Be honest, is this justice?
.where are my ancestors buried? Which country in Caribbean?
If there wasn't an established and lucrative slave trade in sub-Sahara Africa prior to when Europeans started traversing its coastline there would be no BLM and race grifters today. The numbers of sub-Saharans in the Americas, Caribbean and Europe would be similar to that of Asia today.
If only... World would be a much better place if the Africans in question would've refused to trade slaves with foreigners. But then again man is nothing if not predictable and the almighty dollar (money) won out.

Well done!!! Exposure of the true history should be brought to light more often….
An example of this type of “candy coating” of history that always bugged me here in The United States of America is the original 1970s TV miniseries ROOTS by Alex H. It a was televised version of his book of the same name where he, a black historian, dramatized his search for his ancestors origin.
In the book his great-great…grandfather Kunta Kintay (sic) was abducted by a costal tribe of black men then sold to Dutch slave shippers. However, in the TV miniseries it was Dutch men who who took Kunta. This and quite a few other details were changed in order to make no black men culpable.
As we, who study history, know many black costal tribes were capturing their own kind and selling them for hundreds of years.
Keep telling the truth till the masses learn it.
This cheered me up no end!
Bloody countries being allowed to decide on what statues they want! Oh...hang on...
This little video should be shown in all our junior schools
I am glad to see your post. I too see the anomaly of a thousand years of black and muslim slavery as compared to the Western Civilization history of defeating the Black and Muslim slave trade. A strange thing to think that the very people who enslaved more people than even the Roman Empire would convince others that others were the slavers than themselves.
Of course this statue is standing still. It’s a statue.
One of the two organizers of the Portland Autonomous Zone - “It’s not really about race, it’s about tearing the old structures down so that we can implement communism”.
“Our movement is fundamentally a communist movement”.

Why is it that some people never learn? Wanting to resurrect communism is as stupid as wanting to resurrect the Black Death.
Really? If it's real perhaps these guys should ask to some people from East Europe how"beautiful" was living in the"workers' paradise"!
Spot on again, l myself have studied this story, well done for bringing it to a wider audience.
The funny thing with history is when you try to erase it you usually end up making it repeat itself.. It is important to remember history so history does not repeat itself..
Well imagine my shock at this.
Lefties will ignore that.
Olusoga is just another race grifter. He'd be unheard of here if he weren't black and he'd be anonymous in Nigeria too. Notice that he only ever seems to talk about race and slavery (and even that, narrowly and selectively). He's seemingly against everything a responsible and credible historian should be for, recording and teaching history, truthfully, honestly, accurately and fairly, without bias, warts and all. To erase history is to erase people, and ideas. It's also an insult to the people who suffered and who still suffer to this day in developing countries, to try and erase history, or pretend slavery didn't exist in African culture.
Simon, you are a treasure. Your truth sharing brings sanity to these wonky times. Crack on! You’re doing a great service.
Thankyou Simon really interesting information
the UK had near zero cooperation & open hostility from other countries (except the French - who were bribed).
Abysmal ignorance and hypocrisy is the hallmark of these people.
Educating the local people of the history and horrors associated to Efunroye Tinubu would have the statue torn down in no time. Good job Simon...Let's inform and educate and get all the statues taken from their current locations and display them in museums with plaques explaining why.
This is why schools do not have history lessons anymore.
