Augustus Merriman-Labor

Augustus Boyle Chamberlayne Merriman-Labor, who later took the name Ohlohr Maigi (28 November 1877 – 1919), was a Sierra Leonean barrister, writer and munitions worker.

A Sierra Leonean Creole, he was left in the care of his maternal grandfather John Merriman after his mother accepted a job as headmistress in the Gambia.

In 1898, he attracted literary attention with an anonymous essay on the Hut Tax War, The Last Military Expedition in Sierra Leone, which he arranged to be published in Liverpool.

[4] He wrote on his disappointing experiences in Britain for the Sierra Leone Weekly News, before undertaking a 10,000-mile lecture tour across Africa entitled "Five Years with the White Man".

[4] That year he also published Britons Through Negro Spectacles, in which the narrator spends a day accompanying a newly arrived African friend around London.
