Beaf:


Why don't you buy an apology machine. Something that will say "sorry" each time you walk past or look at it.

back2back:

you are missed the point.

It was evil and wrong to enslave africans in that massive ways.

It was a trade that was supported by the WEST and their church for wealth creation!

It was this slave machinery that kicked started the economy.

African deserves apologies for those wrongs: It is to acknowledge the evil and not try to hide or sweep it under the carpet.

But I guess with people like you, it is clear why no progress.

Even JEWS received apologies for the evil of german people to them.

these MEND are coward.

Lagos is not capital of Nigerian anymore.

Let me them go after Abuja and may be Kano or Sokoto.

You will see how the Hausa will wipe-them-out like bunch of irritating flies.

nuzo:

Keep waiting for his apologies.

The message he delivered is more important to us than apologies

. . . . "Take full responsibilty of your future. No more excuses"

Edoji:

Obama apologised to Europe during his trip to France in April 2009. He sounded apologetic to the Muslim world in his speech in Cairo, Egypt. But during his trip to Ghana he stated that Africa should take responsibility for their multifarious problems.
Obama did not have the courage to admit and take full responsibility for the role of America in the ruination of the continent.

Idiot. . . . . .Think next time before you post!

Africa only needs apoligies from the bastard African politicians who have raped her and left her people in misery, not from an American who is not to blame for the continents suffering,

Edoji:

My detractors on this trade entirely misses the point. They fails to appreciate that one set of truth does not render another set of truth irrellevant.

That President Obama spoke some home truths to African leaders does not belie the fact that he failed to admit the dubious role America has played that contributed to the ills of the African continent.

Even a white British, Richard Dowden in his article 'Fine words, but will Africa Listen' (here http://www.elombah.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1134:fine-words-but-will-africa-listen-richard-dowden&catid=36:omoba&Itemid=59) said

"There are, on reflection, things that Obama might also have mentioned, for example America's $31bn in subsidies for US farmers which squeeze some African farmers out of the market. And Obama, always careful to say he is American but of African parentage, leapt from colonial times to the present without mention of the US role in supporting dictators during the Cold War, an apology many Africans would like to hear".

He added:
"Obama made no mention of the US's own economic interests in Africa which have frequently overruled the democratic, good governance agenda which he spelled out on Saturday".

I have written other articles that was prescient on Obama's speech last Saturday approvingly here(http://www.elombah.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=517:barack-obama-and-the-corruption-of-african-leaders&catid=25:politics&Itemid=37)

But that does not belie the truthfullness of what I said above.

Blame yourself and not others.

discussion is about american slavery of africans.

Yuno:

quote: back2back
Young lady please read a history book. The transatlantic slave trade was only possible on the scale it was because African kingdoms participated and made profit from the sale of other Africans. European whites didnt have the ability to access the interior of tropical west africa on their own during the times when the slave trade was at its strongest (18th century) and it was only by using slaves supplied from Africans or by using African scouts that Europeans were able to get hold of millions of black people to ship into slavery.

If anyone deserves an apology for that it is African Americans, Carribeans and Latin Americans not the descendants of the people who sold their ancestors into slavery.
