The statue of slave traders are being pulled down in US, Britain and Belgium.

Madam Efunroye Tinubu was also a slave traider so do you guys think her statue should be pulled down too?

Slaves in Africa had better access to justice and fundamental rights than modern day Africans.

They had rights of grievance and a sense of justice and equity that we lack as free borns.

Slaving in Africa is completely different from slaving in America.

Una too like to copy. If you hear that Americans have started setting their cars on fire because it was made with slave labor. You will start asking if we should burn our cars in Nigeria also. Una moomoo too much! grin

That means no Nigerian aristocrat up to the early 1900s will be memorialised with a statue. All our historic figures until very recent times were tainted with slavery..
