RE: History of Slavery & Slave Trade In Nigeria
As terrible as slavery and slave trade was the most annoying part was that blacks were the ones selling their kinsmen to the whites. A lot of kings and chiefs of that time became rich from selling guys from conquered territories to slavery. At some point, they started selling their subjects, the people they were supposed to protect and lord over. May it not be well with those bastards in their graves!

It was that bad.
The chiefs became prominent, rich and famous by selling their own kindred.
The worst was that the primitive kings never considered the consequences. It felt so bad reading about those evil days.
Greed has always been inherent in humans. And when greed and power are found in the same place, problems will abound. Just like today where the 1% steal what's meant for the others without fear, same as then when those stupid kings sold their kindred for wealth.
