  • Dr Catel briefly discusses activities of europeans during the transatlantic slavery era and how it effected the territory that became Nigeria. He also mentions notable figures such as Christopher Columbus, Bartholomew de la casas, Vasco de gama, the pope and others that were involved in the slave trade during that time, all told through engaging animations and commentary.
    BNH is going to be like a crash course (or an edutainment series) on Nigerian history, but along the way will also touch on other parts of West African history.

    As an European myself, I am shocked about how little of this gets taught in schools. Slave trade is just an uncomfortable side-fact, but no further information on the how, when and where.. No more information than absolutely necessary that is.
    Even worse, my guess is that the north American school system probably teaches less than that.

      Portugal was a country dominated by Muslim (Moroccan) Moors for a long time (al-Andalus), Portugal believed that its mission should be to defeat Islam worldwide and faced the Ottoman Empire, Morocco, Persia, Oman, Arabs, etc. The aim was to facilitate the conversion of non-Christian peoples (and therefore he asked the Pope to obtain the exchange of slave labor for conversion and consequently the individual's salvation.

      I also did research, and you were right... The first African in American was of West African descent, but in America we were made to be ashamed of Africa so I suppose black people just fell out of the sky in America... How old is America, maybe 300 yrs, Africa is how old 300,000 yrs old... I am born,in America and my " DNA" is 95% West African 48% Nigerian( Ghana, Senegal, Mali, Cameroon Congo,,Benin/Togo...( traces)... Thank you brother, for truth because so many lies have been told in America, because the black mans history were ripped away, and replaced with fairy tales. Natives also had slaves in the America's and still will not allow the African in the tribal( they were property)... America is not on the " DNA" chart, because it is not a ethnicity, but a melting pot of cultures. African is where life started, even the Bible tells you that. There is no mention of America since man put it together from other countries seeking freedom., I am glad that as a African American women, we seek truth and forsake the made up continuous lies... Please forgive those in America Who still suffer from slavery and brainwashing, If they would simply " Add" the truth is before them.. If they would simply read... Egypt, Red Sea, Nile, etc... Africa!! In the " Beginning" God said.., he didn't say as man ventured out... " ALL" life came from Africa. Proud woman of. African descent!!! And I don't believe bullshit' from those of the slave trade like me, because you know nothing because White Men wouldn't allow it, now you are a scholar!! Stop looking stupid.. Oh by the way my white friends know the first black man was african, but to keep black men in American in line, they made up history( and that's what it was ( His- story)
