@ovienzowoba: A BOOK FROM 1903 IS NOT BREAKING NEWS A 123-year-old colonial book has suddenly become "breaking news." Some now claim universities hid it. Others believe a single student's experience proves an entire institution concealed history. This video is not about defending Henry Ling Roth, nor is it about denying uncomfortable parts of Benin's past. It is about something far more important: how we evaluate evidence, how narratives are constructed, and why no civilisation deserves to be reduced to its darkest chapters. Read widely. Compare sources. Question everything, including the books you agree with. History deserves curiosity, not confirmation bias. #History #AfricanHistory #BeninKingdom #Historiography #CriticalThinking #PrimarySources #ColonialHistory #HenryLingRoth #HistoricalMethod #PanAfrican #Africa #EvidenceMatters #QuestionEverything #HistoryMatters

What Roth labeled human sacrifice in the book was probably public execution

This is what I always said. Sacrifice was not uniquely to the great Benin It was practice. In a lot of Kingdom at that time, and I don't know why they crying today. was practice in America , Europe and Asia and a lot of country in Africa, I don’t understand why some of this TikTok historian are using it like a weapon.

@Izondance & Music I hope you see how intellectuals debate history? No insult, no attack. If we have to be posting pages of Ijaw history, all of you on social media will hide your faces in shame. What is news about human sacrifice? Thanks a million Mr Melanated. You always set the bar so high for these pseudo historians. ”History needs readers and not followers.” Izon Dance & Music na Paulinus Okpere follower.😁
