Could African Slavery Have Been Evitable? by babasolution: 11:30pm On Mar 21
They say the present is key to the past,going by the situation in Nigeria, with the processes and culture of the majority tribes, their desires and attitudes.

I think SLAVERY cudnt have been evitable, I saw a thread were a guy probably a majority tribe man working in south Korea carrying cement up the third floor.

He makes millions doing it n he thinks it's OK.
It's an example of the deep disposition of these majority tribe folks to slavery.

They will give up anything to slave for a white skin man,they cannot build their own country .

I hold a theory that the majority tribes in Nigeria are well suited and adept for slavery.

It cudnt have been avoided

I am trying to figure out the logic in your statement, people going out to hustle has nothing to do with slavery, people must migrate to put food on their table, there's still tonnes of people at home who will keep putting pressure on the government for change....

Why can't a south Korea migrate to come carry cement in NIG, why must it be majority tribes blacks in Nigeria doing it all over the world

Slavery was an economic policy of that time. Before machines and industrialization, The way to become rich is to have people work your farm
There were many poor people so you can use them to till your land, with warfare and taking slaves during inter community wars, they started using the labor to farm and do other domestic work

There is no way you will be rich and not have slaves in those times who will work for you and expand your farms.

With the increased profits from having many people work for free, it became more commonplace, there is no civilization that you wont have some form of slave labor.

Industrialization and human right laws have reduced it significantly in recent decades

When slavery was abolished, it was replaced with Education in order to keep the business running.

Education is indirectly another form of slavery. The teachers/lecturers only teach their students to be hardworking when the current situation across the world required brainworking. A best student with no connection go stay for house so tey

Education has always been in existence. In the middle ages, Formal education was for elites and Aristocrats. You have to travel to sit with known scholars to learn from them

Making education available to everyone is recent.
How is education another form of slavery? Education is actually the opposite of Slavery. Slave owners usually deny their slaves opportunities to get educated. The less educated you are the more you can be controlled

Effective Brainwork requires knowledge. Possibly knowledge already worked on by other people you learn it and improve on it. You don't have to reinvent the wheel or discover Hydrogen and Geometry when someone has already done that part, documented it and taught in classes
Education is how knowledge from one generation gets passed to the other orally and especially through documentation and writing it down

I am not talking about the likes of Greeks education, I am talking about the current education system which was deliberately plan to enslave people.

The likes of Roosevelt was part of those who introduced education in America when slavery was abolished. There is a documentary about it online.

Moreover, when you consider reasonable number of the richest people in the world, they are not that too educated. If they are not passing through the system of education, yet making it, then something could be wrong with the education system

Take Nigeria politicians or African leaders for example, how many of them are educated yet they always find their way through to the helm of power.

The purpose of education is not to make you a leader or become rich. There are people who have been leaders and became rich before education became prominent

Which of the richest people are not too educated? and which of the leaders are not too educated? You dont have to be a Professor in a field to be educated

Why are you answering a kid with poor degree of understanding

How can you equate education to slavery? Just because you didn't find a job on graduation.

Education is light and it pulls one out of slavery

, we were destined to be slaves with our mentality and submission to degrading jobs and treatment.

Assuming Wole Soyinka is the most educated Nigeria. He is neither rich nor a leader. Will you ask "What was the purpose of his education" or it was a waste since he is neither a political leader nor wealthy?

The purpose of education is to be enlightened. How do you know the Geography of the world you are living without education, How do you know basic Geometry, Maths and even how to communicate in proper language. You learn Economics

Formal education is gathering peoples research and experiences for the past centuries on one particular subject and compress it into modules for you to learn.

What you learn by JS3 alone, without education and exposure you will never learn it on your own in 5 lifetimes. Pythagoras theorem, BODMAS etc that we learned in Primary school took many people decades to figure out. Yet an smart 8yr old can solve it because he was taught and not having to go through the experience of 200BC all over

A boy who has never left his village can know all the countries, people and culture of the world by education without having to travel because some people have done that in the past and documented it for it to learn
