Ever wondered how history can shape our understanding of the world in ways that don't always sit right with us? Join me, Amachree Isoboye your neighborhood word trader, as I share a heartfelt journey back to my primary school geography class where my fascination with Nigeria's majestic River Niger and River Benue began. Through personal stories, including my grandfather's fishing expeditions along the Niger, I'll transport you to the riverbanks and reveal their historical and economic importance.
This episode also challenges the historical narrative that credits Mungo Park with the discovery of the River Niger. Is it fair to say he "discovered" a river already known to the native inhabitants? My research into Mungo Park's life will make you question the way history is taught and who gets the credit. If you're passionate about uncovering the true stories behind geographical landmarks or questioning established historical accounts, this episode is a must-listen.
