    True Life Story Of Ota Benga

    The Story Of Ota Benga’s Life:

    Ota Benga was born around 1883 in the Ituri Forest of the Congo Free State, which is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He belonged to the Mbuti people, a group of Congo pygmies known for their nomadic lifestyle.

    After returning from a hunting trip to find his village destroyed and his family killed, Benga was cap*tured and sold into slavery. In 1904, he was discovered by American businessman and explorer Samuel Phillips Verner at a sla**ve market. Verner brought Benga to the United States to be displayed at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, and later at the Bronx Zoo in New York City, where he was exhibited alongside an orangutan.

    Following protests against his inhumane treatment, Benga was released from the zoo and placed in the care of James H. Gordon, who supervised the Howard Colored Orphan Asy*lum in Brooklyn. Benga was later moved to Lynchburg, Virginia, where he received tutoring in English and worked at a tobacco factory.

    Benga longed to return to Africa, and efforts were made to facilitate his journey back. However, the outbreak of World W**ar I in 1914 halted passenger ship travel, trapping him in the United States.

    Struggling with depression and unable to return home, Ota Benga to**ok his own life on March 20, 1916, in Lynchburg, Virginia. He was approximately 33 years old.

    Benga’s story is a stark reminder of the dark aspects of colonialism and the exploitation of individuals for entertainment.

    I think Nigeria nolly wood should use this story and produce an epic movie. Mercy Johnson Okojie what do you think mummy?

    🤷 True Life Story:

    Last week, I was catching a flight from an undisclosed country, while we boarded the plane and jeered to move, suddenly an announcement from the pilot came through.
    It was said that there is a technical problem that the plane had suddenly encountered, that we will have to alight (after arranging all our back bags and handbags and fixing our seat belts) and board a new plane that will be arranged for us.

    Most of the passengers turned out furious, disappointed, and sad. They kept complaining through their murmurs.

    But something different struck me. I chose to instead appreciate the sudden and unexpected changes as a plan from God.

    Then, while in the plane and on the queue of disappointed passengers, I raised my voice and said;
    “Instead of y’all complaining and blaming the airline company, why not instead thank God that we haven’t taken off?”

    If we had been in the air and a technical problem arises, our chances of survival would have been fractionated, bifurcated, halved.

    We would have had our faith decided with no feet on the ground. We would have been closer to the angels than our loved ones on the ground. We would have been breathing with our shaky lips and fidgeting heart.

    They all immediately calmed the echoes of their disappointment and some part of the passengers chorused; “That’s true oooo, thank God”.

    We alighted, got moved by the airline buses, and a new plane was immediately arranged for us.

    In peace, we landed at our destination.

    Moral Of The Story:

    Everything happens for a reason. The delay you have in marriage, the delay you have at your place of work, the traffic that kept you away for hours, the single minute that made your bus delayed, your wait for bearing a child your delay in getting visa, every struggle you have encountered in life, they all happen for a reason.

    Instead of burying yourself in the pool of complaints, why not instead see the good sides of all these delays and appreciate God for a blessing in disguise?

    I would have probably become history today if our plane had found itself in the air. Maybe it’s just a single minute that kept me and others alive today.

    Al’hamdulilah!

    Note: This is not a fictional story, it’s a true life event that happened to me (SmilingPen), exactly a week ago. I would love to retain the name of the airline so as not to smear or tarnish their brand.

    🧝 Not Every Ghost Is A Real Ghost: 👻

    In 1994, an 87 year old man passed on in a village close to Amai, Kwale, Delta State.

    The late man’s grand son, Ubaka (26 years old and fairly educated), was given some money and asked to travel to Agbor to buy a fine casket for his grand pa’s burial.

    Ubaka left base early and arrived Agbor in good time to purchase the casket and make the return journey same day.

    He was fortunate to get an open back white coloured Nissan pickup heading for Amai.

    He, however, had to ride in the back of the pickup with the casket because two market women travelling to Amai were already seated in front with the driver.

    On their journey, they ran into a heavy rain storm close to Uronigbe and Ubaka quickly opened the casket, “laid himself nicely in the well padded interior,” covered the lid and used the folded newspaper he had with him to leave a small opening between the lid and the main body of the white casket to ensure adequate ventilation.

    The interior of the casket was very comfortable and Ubaka soon fell into a very deep sleep.

    The rain had subsided at the time the pickup van arrived at Umutu and during a brief stop, two men travelling to Amai boarded the vehicle at the back and the same happened at Obiaruku where a man and a woman travelling also to Amai entered the vehicle.

    All this while, Ubaka was enjoying his ‘lovely sleep’ inside the Casket completely unaware of the new passengers who boarded at Umutu and Obiaruku.

    The pickup van arrived Amai just after 5pm and the driver, who was now very hungry, stopped in front of a busy bukataria to have a quick bite before proceeding onto the next village.

    The sudden stoppage and reviving of the pickup’s engine woke Ubaka who then opened the lid of the casket and rose up.

    Trouble come start!

    Gobeeee🏃🏼🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽

    The passengers in the back of the pickup jumped out of the vehicle from various points and took to their heels in various directions.

    The people eating in the buka (including the mama-put and her service girls) who saw the white casket opened, and a “ghost” stepped out, ran off all over the places some with balls of eba and akpu in their hands.

    Ubaka, seeing people running ‘helter skelter’ was convinced that armed robbers were operating and decided to take-off in the direction of three of the passengers.

    When the three passengers realised that Ubaka was running towards their direction, they increased their speed and shouted “ghost! ghost! ghost!!! and, to further worsen the situation, Ubaka was dressed in white “up and down” with a pair of ‘white shoe’ to match that day.

    With the shouting of ‘ghost!!!!!!!!!!!’ other people in their homes came out to see what was going on and on seeing people running at high speed all over the places, they joined in the race for their dear life and the number just swelled.

    The driver and the two market women were the only people who knew what was going on and they had a hell of a time calming the people down and explaining that …………… he merely needed shelter,while it was raining………..
    ………
    ……
    ….
    …

    I am very sure you are still laughing; well this is how a lot of us keep running for no reason and mostly do things because someone is doing it.
