Popular Nigerian author and former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has made historical argument on why Mungo Park did not discover River Niger.
He made this intellectual argument in a recent tweet he shared on his Twitter page yesterday, June 28.
According to the Amazon Best Selling Author, “you cannot discover a river that people were already living in and fishing in and swimming in.”
His post was in deed food for thought as he left a mind bugling question, “if Mungo Park discovered River Niger, then what do we say about the Black man who showed him where it is?”.
In his words; “Mungo Park did NOT discover the River Niger. You cannot discover a river that people were already living in and fishing in and swimming in. If Mungo Park discovered River Niger, then what do we say about the Black man who showed him where it is?”
