CHANGED GIIS NAME.

When I camo to Chicago, Illinois
May s, 1914 changed my name and
registered IA the Unted States by
my new name in Bt. Louis, Mo.
.Juae s. 1917 to Eight as q soldier
for Uncle Sam, but wab LUCKY and
sorry that I wasn't drafetd In the
army to fight tho Germans.
changed my name beeuase l thought
the Germans w5uld think that i was
n white man, IL / were to ,use the
English name which my father inner
itei from white Missionary, Oh the
battlefield in Europe. Therefore you
cannot blame me for this reason, that
l like my African r,ama better than
white mans name.
Madarika means Don't play with
tho Sevir' in Yoruba language. II
my grandfather was Yoruba chef
and was born by Yoruba parents
without any drop oE white MANS
blood In his veins, then have the
right ut Abeokuta and Lagos to .cafl
myself Prince among the Yoruba
royal nobility In Nigeria and all parts
OF Africa But II Marcus Garvey
and Bruce Grit arc advertising me
in the Negro World that I am not
an African Prince to ruin my good
reputation In America, will knock
tho Black Star Elmo into pieces with
my supernatural power and influence
in Africa.
The native Kings and Chiefs will
help mo to hand Marcus Garvey over
to tho Federal Government for his
conspiracy and threatening speeches
against the African rulers. The de
hpctSunx, and rpah<yflLon l.,
Africa, Europe and America will also
help me to Investigate the schemes
Of this Black Star Lne Steamship
Corporation In America.
l don't have to carry any creden
tiab in my pockets to show the
American people that / am OIL African
Prince. because Jesus Christ did not
bring ANY credentials into this world
from heaven to prove to the Pontius
PIlate and the Jews In Jerusalem
that he was the Son Of God and Heir
to the Throne. That Is why the Jews
did not believe that Jesus Christ was
the Son Of God. -.
The good reputation which my
father left for me in Nigeria Is
enough credential for me in Africa.
My grandfather auso left good record
OF his bravery for me at Abeolsuta,
Nigeria, West Africa. just came
to America to receive al education
and will soon return to my home In
Lagos, West Africa. Then If any
native King or Grief in Nigeria
desires to see mp credentials I will
take him to my grandfather's palace
at Abeekuta and show him the
poisonoua swords and ancient war
weapo'@: t,at he used in those days
to save the EsEa and Ijemo people
from the opp o3!ca Of the Ashantees
and Dahomeans.
But / haven't got any time at
present to write my ancestors biog'
raphy for Marcus Garvey and Bruce
Grit, because they are known in
America as grandsons Of white folks
slaves and now getting too big for
their shoes. II these two Negroes
can't respect tho members of the
African Royal Nobility in America,
the Universal Negro Improvement
Assoc alton and the Black Star Line
will not be able to have any succeeds
in Africa.
When Christopher Columbus die.
covered America in 1892. he did not
write credentials for the Indian Chiefs
that he met in this country. When
Great Britain a'sc sent her warships
to the West Coast Of Africa during
tho reign Of Queen Elizabeth In 1882
she couldn't write credentials. for the
African Chiefs in Gold Coast and
Nigeria because the native Chiefs Ia
these days were powerful with their
black magic and tried to turn the
white people into frogs in the
interior. -.. ,,.
