[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] The Yorubas are a well-known group in Nigeria and Benin Republic--with dual religious affiliations to Islam and Christianity. But they fought many wars among themselves and bartered off their many prisoners of war to shipping slavers waiting on the West African coast. The exiled prisoners of war ended up as slaves in places like Brazil and Cuba. In so doing, the Yoruba broke a cardinal rule of human self-regard. Prisoners of war should not be sold off to outsiders from overseas but either set free or used as labour in the victorious group's lands. Even when the British abolished slave trading in 1806 they had to stop the wicked trade by blocking smuggler ships from transporting captives to the Americas. These British patrol ships docked many of those recaptives in their Freetown colony. Ajayi Crowther was one of those. Yet the Yorubas do not seem to have understood their self-inflicted wounds as crimes. They have never asked for the return of their people sold off to Brazil, Cuba and other parts--where they are abused and suffer racial and economic discrimination. They naively expect Brazil and Cuba to treat their kith and kin better. Annual festivals in Oshogbo are not enough, the Yorubas must clean up their act. [/QB][/QUOTE]
