Reno Omokri, formal aide to the ex president Goodluck Jonathan, is on it again as he says Mungo park didn’t discover River Niger.
History has it that Mungo Park was a Scottish explorer of West Africa.
After an exploration of the upper Niger River around 1796, he wrote a popular and influential travel book titled Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa in which he theorized the Niger and Congo merged to become the same river.
Reacting to this the controversial activist took to his verified twitter handle to assert that Mungo Park never discovered River Niger.
Omokri stated that if Mungo Park really discovered River Niger, ‘then how about the blacks that showed him the river.’
He wrote:
‘Mungo Park did NOT discover the River Niger. You can’t discover a river that people were already living in and fishing in and swimming in. If Mungo Park discoverer the River Niger, then what do we say about the Black man who showed him where it is?’
