Trabalho E Rotinas Uma Feitoria No Rio Benim 1 NO LADO AFRICANO DO TRÁFICO: TRABALHO E ROTINAS UMA FEITORIA NO RIO BENIM 1 Marcus J. M. de Carvalho 2 Em 1837, a marinha inglesa apreendeu dois navios negreiros no rio Benim, algo em nada surpreendente, não fosse a documentação encontrada neles, pegos realmente de surpresa por uma escuna de guerra, que entrou rio adentro, desafiando as altíssimas ondas da barra que a impelia para o naufrágio, a rasura do rio para os pesados barcos de guerra e, simplesmente, começou a atirar em um dos dois navios sem nenhum aviso prévio. Foi um salve-se quem puder para os tripulantes dos dois navios negreiros que estavam ancorados muito perto um do outro. Tanto que o capitão de um dos navios pulou na água do jeito que estava. Foi preso completamente nu agarrado às correntes do leme do barco. O mesmo aconteceu com o gerente geral das operações da empresa de traficantes, ou o “primeiro feitor” no Benim, como diziam suas instruções, João Baptista Cézar, preso também nu, quando nadava em direção à praia. O brigue Camões escapou ileso do bombardeio, mas o Veloz não. Ficou seriamente avariado. Por sorte não havia africanos a bordo. No meio da papelada encontrada pelos ingleses nos dois navios, estava a correspondência do sujeito encarregado de tomar conta dos mais de duzentos cativos que seriam embarcados para o Brasil. Um emprego estranho para nós, mas certamente essencial para o bom funcionamento de uma firma voltada para o tráfico de escravos. Havia uma hierarquia bem definida entre os vários funcionários da feitoria que circulavam pelo estuário do rio Benim, comprando gente, negociando, lidando com a nobreza africana em diferentes níveis. As cartas tratavam ainda do abastecimento da feitoria e das muitas providências necessárias ao bom andamento dos negócios, da nobreza africana, dos outros europeus que tinham feitoria por lá. Entre os principais assuntos, obviamente, estava a própria relação entre os empregados da firma lá no rio Benim. Relação difícil, conturbada, já que a morte estava sempre a espreita. Esses assuntos foram tratados na correspondência com os donos da empresa, estabelecidos no Recife. Uma correspondência que nunca chegou lá, pois foi também apreendida. Somados a outros dados existentes sobre os traficantes envolvidos, esses papéis revelam detalhes relevantes sobre o funcionamento de uma feitoria do tráfico depois de 1831 no golfo do Benim. O objetivo deste trabalho, portanto, é contribuir para a História Social do tráfico atlântico de escravos. 1 Texto apresentado no 7º Encontro Escravidão e Liberdade no Brasil Meridional, Curitiba (UFPR), de 13 a 16 de maio de 2015.

Agradeço ao CNPq pelo apoio a esta pesquisa. 1 A ira do comandante escuna inglesa Fair Rosamond, o tal que já chegou atirando sem aviso algum, merece ser explicada. Dois dias antes, ele avistou a escuna Veloz saindo do rio Benim com cativos para levar para Pernambuco. Ao perceber a presença inglesa, o capitão da Veloz espertamente fez meia volta e reentrou no rio em direção a feitoria onde embarcara os cativos. Chegando lá, desembarcou as duas centenas de pessoas que tinha a bordo, à espera de um momento melhor para zarpar. O comandante da Fair Rosamond sabia da rasura do rio Benim, inapropriado para os pesados barcos de guerra com seus muitos canhões e demais apetrechos de guerra. Mandou então um barco armado rio adentro para tentar capturar a Veloz, que estava ancorado ao lado de outro navio negreiro, o Camões, que também esperava por sua preciosa carga humana. As tripulações de ambos os navios, e todo mundo em terra que trabalhava naquela feitoria do tráfico, estavam subordinados a uma empresa de traficantes sediada no Recife, cujo gerente era José Francisco de Azevedo Lisboa, mais conhecido por “Azevedinho” na cidade, conforme informaria o cônsul inglês em Pernambuco alguns anos mais tarde. Ao se ver confrontado pelo barco enviado da Fair Rosamond, o comandante do Veloz não se intimidou e simplesmente mandou bala com os dois canhões que trazia no convés. O barco inglês teve de recuar, levando feridos e ao menos dois marinheiros mortos. O tenente Oliver, comandante da Fair Rosamond, não perdoou esse atrevimento e atacou os negreiros que estavam ancorados próximos à povoação de Bobi (Bobim, Bobi, Boby, Boededoe, Obobi, Louboo, Boubi) que, segundo Richard Burton ficava na margem esquerda do rio Benim.3 Para ter um pretexto para apreender os dois navios negreiros, já que nenhum dos dois tinha cativos a bordo, o tenente Oliver achacou o “primeiro feitor” da feitoria, Cézar, o tal que foi preso nu, constrangendo-o a escrever para uma “rainha” local, que enviou 138 cativos a bordo do Camões. E foi com essas 138 vítimas do tráfico que o Camões seguiu para Serra Leoa. Esse estratagema foi flagrado pela Comissão Mista, que absolveu o Camões de qualquer acusação, afinal de contas, foi o oficial inglês que providenciou este embarque e não os traficantes. Mas da metade das pessoas embarcadas morreriam nessa inusitada viagem de um navio negreiro, carregado e guiado pela marinha inglesa encarregada de reprimir o tráfico. Esse caso já foi trabalhado em estudos anteriores.4 Há, todavia, alguns documentos apreendidos ainda não utilizados pela historiografia, os quais, acrescentados a outras fontes existentes sobre os traficantes atuantes em Pernambuco nessa época, nos permitem entender melhor as redes formadas pelos negociantes de escravos, bem como o cotidiano de uma feitoria do tráfico no apogeu da sua 3 Apud T.E.A Salubi, “Origins of Sapele Township”, in Peter P. Ekeh (Edit.), History of the Urhobo People of Niger Delta (Ikeja, Lagos: Urhobo Historical Society, 2007), p. 104. 4 João Pedro Marques, “Tráfico e supressão no século XIX: o caso do brigue Veloz, Africana Studia, n 5 (2002). REIS, João José; GOMES, F. S; CARVALHO, M. J. M. O Alufá Rufino: Tráfico, Escravidão e Liberdade no Atlântico Negro (c.1822 - c. 1853). São Paulo: Companhia das Letras, 2010. 2 ilegalidade.5 Isso em um dos pontos mais tradicionais do comércio de cativos no Golfo do Benim, a Guiné do portugueses quinhentistas, ou a África Ocidental, como prefere chamar a historiografia anglófona. Temos assim um nexo entre dois pontos antigos do tráfico. O rio Benim e Pernambuco. O atual rio Benim, ou o “rio Formoso ou Rio de Benim”, como o chamavam os traficantes na documentação aqui utilizada, era o caminho direto para o antigo e poderoso reino do Benim e Oeri (Oere, Warri, Iweri, Ode Itsekiri), outra grande cidades do tráfico, então sob a suserania do Benim. O porto da cidade do Benim era Gotto (ou Ughoton, Gwato). Essa era uma área integrada à rede luso-hispano-atlântica do tráfico antes existência das capitanias hereditárias no Brasil. Havia um caminho fluvial de Gotto tanto para a região dos lagos, onde podia alcançar Lagos e os outros portos do tráfico do Golfo de Benim, como para Bonny, no golfo de Biafra. Cativos vendidos no mercado da cidade do Benim, portanto, chegavam tanto ao golfo do Benim como ao golfo de Biafra. Por estar no interior, a cinquenta kms de Gotto, seu porto fluvial, a cidade do Benim praticamente está ausente dos censos sobre o tráfico para as Américas. Mas ela ocupava um importante lugar no fluxo de cativos do interior da atual Nigéria para os portos do litoral. A suserania do Obá inclusive era muito extensiva nessa época, quando reinava Osemwede, cujo reinado durou de 1816 a 1848.6 Segundo Anene, apesar da decadência em relação aos séculos anteriores, foi nessa época que o reino do Benim atingiu sua maior extensão territorial no XIX.7 Do outro lado desse nexo, Pernambuco, onde o tráfico se consolidou muito cedo. Foram para lá mais da metade dos quase vinte mil cativos enviados da África para o Brasil no século XVI e 41 por cento dos 238 mil que entraram entre 1601 e 1630. Pode-se dizer até, que o tráfico para o Brasil começou ali, na velha capitania de Duarte Coelho. Depois da invasão holandesa, em 1630, Pernambuco foi diminuindo sua participação relativa no comércio atlântico de escravos, mas permaneceu recebendo gente até a abolição do tráfico na década de 1850. Pernambuco teve essa característica pouco compartilhada nas Américas, tráfico atlântico intenso do XVI ao XIX. Aliás, foi lá também a última apreensão de uma navio negreiro com cativos a bordo no Brasil, em 1855. Em termos de volume de desembarques de gente da Áfria, Pernambuco foi o terceiro ponto do Brasil, atrás da Bahia e Rio de Janeiro e quarto das Américas, logo depois da Jamaica e na frente do Haiti e de Cuba.8 5 As páginas seguintes são baseadas na documentação referente aos navios Veloz e Camões encontrada na caixa: FO 315/69 National Archives, Londres, Inglaterra. 6 Foi ele que, junto ao Olugun Ajan (ou Obá Osinlokun) de Onim (Lagos), enviou ao Brasil um representante, Manuel Alves Lima, em 1824, o que fez deles os primeiros chefes de Estado a reconhecerem a Independência.

  • Effect of Accommodation Pressure on Housing Affordability in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria
    FUTY Journal of the Environment Vol. 11 No. 1 November, 2017 Effect of Accommodation Pressure on Housing Affordability in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria Enisan, G. Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria Correspondence mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This study analyzed the effect of accommodation pressure on housing affordability in Ikeja, Lagos State. Data used for this study were obtained from both primary and secondary source. 10 wards were covered for this research and a total number of 180 questionnaires were administered in the study area using the housing stock of each ward. These questionnaires were used to obtain information on level of housing satisfaction and perception of housing affordability and effect of accommodation pressure from respondents in the study area. The study was sub-divided into four sectors to ensure accurate description of the area. Descriptive statistics were used to present independent variables in the data set. Frequency distribution was used to assess the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents and related data to determine the nature of housing affordability among various respondents in the study area. The study revealed that income, household size, occupation, education, housing finance and family expenses are the key determinants to secure convenient, satisfactory and affordable housing in the study area. The government’s inability to tackle these factors in an appropriate manner has rendered many people inability to live in satisfactory, convenient and affordable apartments. However, it is important that the government get involved in the provision of mortgage facilities as one of the recommendations in solving housing problem in Nigeria.

Whereas workers in the informal sectors constitute over 80% of non-agricultural employment, 60% of the urban employment and over 90% of new jobs in Nigeria, they are often subjected to arbitrary and excessive taxation, downright extortion, arbitrary arrests and imprisonment while their basic needs for social security is ignored. Informal workers constitute the bulk of the poor and marginalized people in Nigeria. FIWON was inaugurated June 18, 2010 in Abuja in the course of its 1st National Conference in Abuja with over 34 self - employed workers’ organizations in attendance. Today, there are over 120 organizations from 15 states of the Nigerian federation. FIWON’s overall goal is to transform the working and living conditions of informal workers to an acceptable standard that guarantees their basic human rights as citizens and workers. FIWON builds leadership capacities of informal workers for resisting rights violation and for representation in decision making public institutions. It has a Cooperative and Thrift arm that provide soft loans for members while it collaborates with public and private institutions for vocational and entrepreneurial training of members. “The Poor Also Must Live!” Market Demolition, Gentrification and the Quest for Survival in Lagos State.
