Story of how Nigeria was sold for £856,000 by the British

15, 2021 5:54 PM In the early 1800s, the region now known as Lagos was a major port for slave trade. However, there was mounting pressure on the British from missionary groups to stop it. There was also a spike in the demand for palm oil at the time as a machine lubricant following the industrial revolution. This meant that the British began battling other European powers to end slave trade. The British wanted monopoly access to the palm oil and other industrial raw materials from the Niger Delta region. However, slaves continued to be exported to the Carribbean Islands and America by the Europeans. This caused a growing shortage of labour on the mainland which hampered agricultural productivity. Britain therefore passed anti-slavery navy squadron. The navy squadron began intercepting slave ships and returning captives to shore. Despite the efforts by the British to end slave trade, it continued to grow. It was simply too lucrative for the local rulers and the Portuguese slaves.

Bitcoin Whales Accumulate 60,000 Bitcoins In A Day. What Happens Now?

Bitcoin whales have resumed accumulating coins in what has turned out to be the biggest Bitcoin accumulation event in 2021. A number of Bitcoin whales addresses that currently hold a number of 100 to 10,000 bitcoins in their wallet accumulated over 60,000 bitcoins in a single day. Lately, Bitcoin has been sluggish in the market due to a high number of sell-offs and not enough people buying back in the coin. But over the past six weeks, the whale wallets have accumulated over 100k bitcoins. With over 60% of these Bitcoins being bought in just one day. This accumulation event sent the coin price shooting up. This helped Bitcoin to break the $35,000 price point which it had been struggling to break since the crash from $64k began.
