Next up...all the various "European" coffees and chocolates...

Just like Swiss Chocolate is actually African Chocolate.

[BoiKoll]

That's what they do. Stealing and claiming to be theirs.

Happy Africans have put a stop to this

[jeffreywilliams]

I never knew this. The whole time Italians were taking credit for something that they were getting from Africa but stake claim to it. Im glad you brought this up

[RMrm]

They steal everything down to the leather. Shame!

[michaelholbrook]

OMG! So much of the rich history of Africa and its nations has been stolen and the credit given to imposters. I had no idea that's why Italian leather started being called genuine leather. The dirt that is done on a daily basis to keep black people from being credited with their inventions, their creations, is shocking.

Ferragamo comes to mind. I noticed the change from Italian leather to genuine but did not know why. More of the same. Let's support Nigerian designers.

[wadek]

I certainly didn't know, but I'm certainly not surprised

[rosiehellraiser]

Tell me, what products of African or blacks doesn't the Europeans take credit for.

[life]

Alot of italian brands are having their leather goods made in Ethiopia, not just Nigeria

[ultra]

Smh..and my people in Africa starving.

[BlackBootzProductionz]

Just like all the minerals they need for their cell phones electric cars etc etc etc etc, they never want to give black people credit for it.

[blackisone]

Nigeria should make their own leather products and stop supplying raw materials.

[AnnaYAH]

This brother has been producing some truths about these people and they're upset. Im glad his content is going viral and we need to NIT support them folks.

[marquisgilmore]

I was today years old when I found out something new.

[jondo]

studying the economic history of people, places, and products is a lifeskill.

"GENUINE, NIGERIAN LEATHER "

[Lamin_G]

The only *news* here is that it has taken this long for people to realize that _"Italian leather isn't Italian after all."_ The question is, why is Nigeria exporting leather to Italy and elsewhere when it could be investing in its leather industry [shoes, belts, seats, clothes, etc.]?

Why we dont sell our own leather wake up Black people 😢
