That is a major problem. That is why I had to rely on getting information from older hebrews
When I was growing up it was hard to fish information from my parents...I think it was because they did not know answers to certain questions and were to prideful to say so. I actually got some insight from one of my dad's friends at my sisters wedding. He told me that my parents generation which included himself were the first generation of our people that were heavily influenced by the white man's education and were basically made to forget or not care about things prior to colonialism. That is this the reason why I am glad I talked to the old heads before they died. I needed a translator and they spoke an older dialect that my parents did not grow up on which was odd.
That neglect was actually trained into them by Esau. My dad's friend was telling me how they immersed into British education to such an extent that they only knew the history of what was taught in their system. If you notice, most of the history that you will get from your parents is only in their lifetime. They cannot tell you shyt about our people being victims in the slave trade or Nri. I got that information from the old heads before I had access to the internet. So, I knew back in '99 about Nri and the slave trade, that was why when I got access to the information later, I was not surprised by it.
