He will be kidnapped within a week of arrival. Trust me. Though he looks like them.
PrettyCrystal:
An African American man from Abia state has said that he's visiting Nigeria next year 2018 after being based in the United States all his life. David Love who is a US citizen, said his ancestors were captured/shipped to America for slavery and worked on a plantation so that he might return to his homeland one day as his relatives have provided him with traditional attire for him to dress like an Igbo man in the US.

Below is what he shared on Facebook;

I am African American but my ancestor was captured and shipped to North America for enslavement. It was here that my ancestor survived on a slave plantation in Virginia so that I might one day return to my homeland. I am descended from the Igbos of Umuahia and my clan is within Umuopara.

My DNA has been connected my distant cousin Obie Uwadineke who is from Umunwanwa. Mazi Ikem C. Eronini has provided me with the clothing so that I can dress as an Igbo man. I am returning 2018 to visit.

That is the question we should be asking. What they do there is to attach a White Spouse to any African American who is gifted, talented or "outstanding" or an "achiever" in any endeavour: music, sports, or professions.

I guess, his quest for his identity & roots came after his marriage(s).

Who does this "attaching?"

Paranoia no good o undecided

I encounter a lot of people who have DNA traced their root to Igboland and I teach them about the culture and tradition. I also tell them Igboland is not secure at the moment, but we will secure it in time for our people to come home and pay homage.

Our lost sons and daughters who were uprooted from their homeland due to slave trade could be worth over ten trillion dollars to the Igbo economy.

I guess it sounds like a conspiracy theory. The "attaching" is done by their 'network'. cool
Check out the first three Presidents of a certain, West African francophone country after "Independence". Their wives were Europeans, so that African policies will favour Europe more.

When we were sending out our best for studies abroad, many of them returned with "attachments" to man commanding heights of our government. That is how we became re-colonized through the bedroom!

I hope we can see how the 'network' maintains their hold on Black American males and females.

Go change your profile picture and no dey support suspected cultists. undecided

Nigeria is very safe and cool. All Afro Americans are welcome. They have enjoyed America enough, they need to come back home and give room for others to go too. During slave trade, we were taken by force. Nowadays, we are forcing ourselves to be taken. In the past we were killed because we didn't want to go, nowadays we die because we want to go there by all means available.





Stay there dey decieve yourself.

Which root? What do you know about igbo tradition?
not all slaves were forcefully abducted, some parents sold their stubborn kids, some sold because of poverty, some were sold because they became christians, some committed heinous crimes punitively sold, so what is his root supposed to say? the best he can get is an "Oru" tag another discrimination tag of igbos, he is excited in yankee very soon reality will dawn on him.

I beg I no wan laugh today..... cheesy

Tha Logic is true of all sense . I tale it you got offended by my choice of word *Miopic *and you are lashing out. Even in SS1 Or economics 101 Demand attracts supply . Of there is demand for my balls there would be supply for it.
U said something in the lines of why did they not use the money they got to buy white slaves Answer :There was no demand for white slaves in Africa then.
Now even after the end of slave trade . Africans still faught wars and took captive but there was no demand for them hence there was no market for them . .It's this same Logic the police in the UK and US apply to arrest kerb crawlers . I have given examples of at least 4 logics.

Did you say there was no demand for white slaves?
The Arabs taken by France were they blacks?
Chinese taken by the Japs were they blacks?
Jews taken by the Germans were they blacks?
West indies taken by the Europeans turned Americans were they blacks?
The slovaks taken by England, were they blacks?

You see how flawed your logic is.

Since you think it is a matter of demand and supply, why didn't your ancestors buy white slaves? Why did they remain docile to be the merchandise?
There was supply of white slaves, why was there no demand for them in Africa since you think its all about demand and supply?

You rational sense is not at work here,
the Logic here was depicting the Lawas of demmand and Supply, thats if you did any Economics ins chool.
You already shot yourself in the foot, cos going by your own assumption **There where Supply of white Slaves* But was there a demmand of white slaves in Nigeria and other parts of Africa?

In summary, if you have uncountable Goods and there are no demmand, there wont be a market for such goods.

Its exhausting trying to figure out someone with very little knowledge, take my advise, don't tell anyone again that your father was traded because of demand and supply, outside the fact you lack the facts to back it up, it sounds s!lly.

There was supply of white slaves as well as black slaves, conversely, there was global demand for both, your father not buying the white slaves was borne out of fundamental laziness, docility and ignorance plaging Africans till date not demand and supply.

I took you round all the continents to prove that, if you lack the ability to buttress your claims, I cant help you, by the way, goods of ostentation does not follow the demand and supply curve, having cheap education doesn't make you a genius, not everyone wasted time studying eco 101 with deplorable free education in a Nigerian university that has no footprint on the global stage.

If you don't know the answer to this question you just asked, it is obvious you know nothing about slavery and the so called cheap economics you studied.
Im sure you don't know what goods of Ostentation are that is why you couldn't disconnect slaves from demand and supply neither have you studied the medieval Egyptian slave trade extensively.
Anyways, im no longer in the mood for free classes.
Most of you are empty ingrates.
