The youth cross Mediterranean waters in deplorable vessels to get there; the presidents fly private jets to go and beg for loans, causing “traffic jam” at the economic masters’ airports. ILLUSTRATION | JOHN NYAGAH | NMG
During the slave trade, bad African chiefs would raid neighbouring territories and capture prisoners to sell to the slavers. How despicable! But the worse chiefs would just sell their own people to the slavers.
Anyway, when slavery became unsustainable, the colonisers came and occupied the entire countries, making the Africans slave from home and the products of their sweat shipped off abroad. The chiefs and kings also became losers. Previously it was only the subjects who had fallen victims, many dying on the long arduous journey to slavery.
