Family 🌲
William Vivour (1830- 1890) grandfather of 🇳🇬Justice Akinwunmi Rhodes-Vivour (1910 - 1987) who was the Older brother of World War 2 Vet Airman Bankole Vivour (1920 - 1944) & father of Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour (1951 - ) who is d father of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour 1983 -
He had can say "my family fought for freedom (fought the Nazis)" and it be true.

Anyway I just find being able to trace your family over 200 years is an interesting curiosity of mine.
I thot Vivour was some fancy English name, nope..... its from SURVIVOR, As William Vivour was the son of returned Yorùbá slaves in Sierra Leone.
Although I have 'weird' issues with Yorùbá with fancy names from Lagos... all dem Brazilian quarters people/Saros (they elitists AF) but I'm let this one off for the greater good.

Not his dad, but same Rhodes-Vivour, I'm guessing uncle.

Quick search of her name... She's a Rent-A-Mob for the government.
She even threatened to get protesters to shut down the US embassy one time. She's a BUHARIST
This was her mobilizied protest against France...

In Nov 1949, British Police Commissioner ordered his men to open fire on protesting Nigerian miners in Enugu. 21 people were killed. The Findings of d commission (Pic2) is interesting, characterising a protest as a political agitation justifies d use of violence. #EndSARS
Someone here once said learning Nigerian history is expensive 😭😭
Side Note: The more I learn about Nigeria's history the more I think Kwasi Kwarteng's Ghosts of Empire book is 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾.

Especially concerning West Africa & Nigeria.

The Craziest African Dictator you possibly never heard of...
Jean-Bedel Boskassa of the Central African Republic and of course he was backed by the French for their natural resources.
8mins long & this video still doesn't cover how crazy he was..

They'll back the lunatics amongst us if it guarantees access to resources and sadly we have no shortage of greedy power hungry self centred lunatics (2/4).
If this was done in a movie you'll be like "C'mon this is OTT BS" 3/4

Oyaks is back with another banger
"#COVID19 compliant churches, #COVID-19 compliant churches will mean people with coronavirus can't come there"
The conspiracy never ends 🙄
Should people with Corona Virus be going into large gatherings? 🤷🏾‍♂️ 1/4
It's probably true that government officials had meetings with religious organisations b4 the lockdown bcos Govts understand how people can be about church or mosque closures or large gatherings to stop the spread. That's all Oyaks needs to confirm his conspiracy. 2/4
Goal: Portary everyone else as shady and yourself as the sole source of truth. 3/4
