  • Thank you for posting, but, I noticed in the hosting of this editor, she mentioned the Afrikans did not know of "mami wata" until the Europeans introduced "mermaids" to them, In my opinion, this is another way of European culture, claiming something that is not their own......destructive and dominearing people......This worship is from Afrika, as all the other ways of life and religion, plagiarized by Europeans.

  • @mahagonysoul1 This is bullsh**t! Mami wata has been known and worshiped in some parts of Africa before the Europeans ever dreamt of visiting Africa, and that's why the Europeans Brainwashed the Africans to Worship their White God and not what they were used to worshiping. SO, Please the poster of this Video Simply RE:Edit cause this will make you look like you actually dont kbnow what you are talking about!

    God Bless!

  • The exhibit was fantastic and moving. It is worthwhile to get the book that Prof. Drewal did. A very respectful person, a friend.
