USA Africa Dialogue Series - Should Ghana Apologize And Pay Reparation To Nigeria?

Black Africans have gone through unimaginable 'perscusions' from generation to generation since time immemorial, but the worst of some of these heinous crimes of 'man inhumanity to man' against us was the Arabs and Europeans Slave Trade, of the last 500 years, (in which more than ten millions Africans either lost their lives and identities). When I say black Africans, it includes our brothers and sisters in Diaspora, either in Caribbean, American and Latin America. After all, Peter Touch, one of Jamaica's reggae artistes of the blessed memory, sang in one of his songs thus: 'Don't think of where you come from, as long as you are a black man or woman, you're an African.' However, it always pains me when after suffering all these persecutions at the hands of our detractors for generations, we Africans, out of ignorance turned against each others and inflicts unnecessary pains against ourselves. Rwandans genocide in the 1994 is still fresh in our memories, couple with unnecessary incessant wars all over Africa, that is costing millions of lives every year. The most painful aspect of all these destructive actions black Africans are inflicting on each others was that; the Jewish, (another race who was victims of persecutions about seventy years ago), have come together and speaks with one voice to fight for their rights amongst the committee of nations, but black Africans are yet to find a common ground to speak in one voice and work together for our total emancipation and progress.
