        The British and Americans called Libya an anarchical state under Ghadaffi and said they were bringing democracy. Is this the democracy? Were there slave markets under Ghadaffi? Are the Libyans better off for his loss? He who caused this must solve it

        Anger? His economic policies are encouraging Nigerians to try to escape the country. Then they are caught and "sold as goats"

        Until the black skin is devalue and humiliated enough that it becomes an indictment on our dignity and mockery of self achievements irrespective , we’ll not come together to solve our problems. Maybe racism is not all that bad!#slavery2017

        Hw can black Africans be reduced to commodities in a market place? Where are the regional blocks and what are they doing about it? It is heart breaking to see that happen in the day and era.
