Africa Vs The West In The Court Of Reparations

INTRODUCTION

The return of the National Theatre-Sponsored television epic, (1) 'Roots' on the, Nigerian Television screen, in 1992 was anything but a coincidence. The timing oft the return clearly shows how far television can be used to whip up national sentiments in support of the crusade for reparations for the 'injustices' done Africa and Africans during the over four hundred years of slavery and slave trade. , , No doubt, 'Roots' is a moving recapture of those terrible days. No one in his i , I right frame of mind will refuse to condemn the obnoxious trade in human beings no , I matter the reasons for it. I respect the brains behind the adaptation of Alex Haley'st bestseller to a moving television epic. More importantly, I admire the courage of late t Chief M. K. O. Abiola for almost single handedly standing up to the intimidation and! t I manipulation in demanding for reparation for what he and his alies perceive as , I 'injustice and rape of Africa's resources, human .and material'.
