Egboyoung Offeong is recorded in the history books as an African slave trader who wrote a letter indicating that he provided a European slave trader with between 450 and 460 African slaves for iron bars, cloth, powder, salt, mugs, and more….

This advice came from an old Soul who cares about the young…
We suffer so much that we implore God to (already) come. Please come!
These leaders will answer to Heaven and us for all of their crimes and wrongs.

Please take a look at what came and burn this letter sent by Egboyoung Offeong!
It is not okay for others to just kill (genocide) and burn people’s homes.
We searched for the Truth in order to discover Africa’s blessings so come along.

There was a planet (Earth) in which apes never saw the king in Kong.
It was a place unlike any other, humans weren’t (really) welcome.
America will not believe in Asia nor South America so here is Africa’s song.

These leaders will answer to our Creator for all of their unethical logs.
We suffer so much that we implore God to (already) come. Please come!
We searched for the Truth in order to discover Africa’s blessings so come along.

The world’s problem wasn’t hate but pride, o despicable tongues!
Please burn that letter since Europe has been guilty of it for so long.
America will not believe in Asia nor South America so here is Africa’s song.
