A Nigerian man who lives in the United Kingdom posted this on Facebook. He is using reverse colonial tactics to denounce colonialists who claimed they discovered places in Africa.
READ HIS FULL POST BELOW:
On the 24th day of the 10th month in the year 2021. A black African man from Igbo Naton in West Africa, called Mazi Uba Acho discovered a Lake in Leicester East Midlands of England. This newly discovered Lake by Uba Acho shall be called Iyi Ojemba. Just as Mungo Park discovered river Niger in Nigeria. A river Ogbaru, Anam and Onitsha people and ancestors had been fishing in and swimming in long before the great great grand father of Mungo Park was born. But hey! Mungo Park travelled over six thousand miles from Scotland in 1795 and discovered it.
Just as David Livingstone travelled thousands of miles in 1855 to discover Zambezi river in Zambia and Zimbabwe also discovered a waterfall which he named Victoria-falls. Of course all the people, tribes and communities in Zimbabwe and Zambia, who have been hunting, farming, rearing their herds in that area for centuries were all blind they couldn’t see such water bodies. Until a Scotish man came from Britain to discover it. And up till today these are still in our African school curriculum, still being taught our children. And you wonder why we have adults and leaders who take no pride in being African. And what you have no pride in, you can’t value, what you don’t value, you can’t cherish, what you don’t cherish, you can’t preserve nor develop.
So today, I Mazi Uba Acho have discovered this Lake and named it Iyi Ojemba. Put it on record, teach it to your children.
