Are the Ijaw people really cannibals? The Myths: Dehumanizing Imagery Used by Colonial Traders To justify the complete destruction of prosperous independent kingdoms like Nembe, British administrators and corporate agents relied heavily on carefully crafted psychological warfare and racial myths designed to alienate the Ijaw people from the British public and the international community. #Weaponizing the "#Cannibal" Label: Following the Akassa Raid, British colonial media and corporate reports went into overdrive.

The Myth of the "Uncivilized Creek-Man": Colonial diaries and reports systematically ignored the compl...
