The search for black slaves One of the main attractions of the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Phoenicians to the Central Sudan has been the supply of slaves (Lange 2004:277). In ancient Egypt, slaves were used to serve kings and the kings' family members. Slaves were used to work on farmlands, and during the predynastic periods, kings were buried alongside their slaves10 (Cavendish 1977:21; Caldwell & Gyles 1966:141; Schwantes 1969:6; Spronk 1986:87, 91, 93; Turner 1993:15). Lange (2004:278) notes that black slaves were highly valuable because of their seemingly extra strength and dexterity at work, and that this provided the rudimentary reason why slave trade dominated the trans-Saharan commercial activities. Egypt was the main supplier of black African slaves however, due to the high demand and an insufficient supply of black slaves, Egypt depended on the regions across the Upper Nile, Darfur and West Africa to supply slaves to them (Lange 2004:279). Nigeria was heavily involved in both domestic and Trans-Atlantic slave trade since 1500 (Omolewa 2008:98),11 and slave trade might have been practiced in Nigeria long before 1500 CE. Nigeria's deep involvement in slave trade could have caused the Phoenicians and the Egyptians to buy Nigerian slaves in Nigeria or in the Darfur region, or even in Egypt. However, information concerning Nigeria's involvement in slave trade before the advent of Christianity is rare or completely unavailable. Yet there are stories. Egyptians, the Greeks and the Phoenicians to the Central Sudan has been the supply of slaves. All these are Black kingdoms and they started slavery. Also groups of these Blacks ganged up with the British and instituted colonialism upon the rest of pagan Africa and also Saracens which are Hebrews. All Hebrews were scattered and enslaved. What I son of David consider slavery is whenever you are subjected to another who is an unbeliever. Hebrews were robbed of identity, language, culture, their God and a land of their own. Yavadas in India where originate Hebrews or Yudeans are still oppressed as a low caste. They are killed if they are found successful in any field. This is the same treatment experienced by Hebrew descendants everywhere on Earth. It proves there exists a world order that hates the Kingdom of God.
