This book is a high profile reference book on the ordeal and ugly situations that befell the African continent; its people; its economy and why it was impossible for the continent to achieve much in the areas of scientific fit, natural development and social backwardness when is to be compared to other continents of the world. African people are never lazy folks as it was erroneously believed and propagated by some nationalities from other places of the world. If history was to be believed, African continent was one of the first places of the world where civilization and technology started even when others from other regions of the world were still looking for what to hold to support their walking exercise. Africa was one of the first fast growing Continent of the world in the acquisition of science and other human related knowledge, the study of solar system and other planets from its God given bank of knowledge. Universities of Timbuktu and Cairo is in a better position to attest to this fact from their records. The turn around of events that choked-up the people of the early generations of the continent began during the escalation of slave trade era. The relationship between an African person and their kings (Obas), the Chiefs and the Nobles on one hand and the down-trodden people that constituted the larger population of the community on the other created an un-level ground that benefited the former than the later. The advantage of absolute respect that the former was enjoying from the lower class was now being used on them when the trade was booming. African culture is a culture that gives absolute respect and honor to the elders and the well-to-do personalities among its community. When the hunting for slaves was at its peak in the West Coast of Africa for example, this class of well-to-do people were the intermediaries between the Oyinbos (white men) and the African slave traders who were then living at cities along the coast. It now became apparent that those African citizens that were bold enough to challenge the authority of the high class group openly will automatically become victim at the return of the Oyinbos (White slave merchants). Traces of the kind of this set of stubborn Africans are up till today found in large numbers either in America, the Caribbean Islands, Europe of elsewhere in the globe where the touch of slavery wind is found. The book is in no doubt a reference book to those who may want to learn or research into the past history of events that were associated with the slave trading of the entire world during this era and the kind of global war that was waged against this terrible man-made and dangerous trade that almost exterminated and decimated a whole continent the way holocaust, suname or tornado would clear-off any object that is on its path. People learn through the mistakes that others made so as to enable them to have a change of strategic planning on how to re-build themselves should in case such situation repeats itself. The calamities of human wastes and destructions that the Africans experienced during these heinous days of slavery era were sufficient enough to lead us to the direction of rapid development of our cities, schools, trades and industries and the development of our natural resources that were being intentionally destroyed and un-harnessed during this silent killing disease era. But unfortunately, the big stick that is continuously agitating our wounds and which disallowed those wounds to heal on time is still a monstrous problem throughout the nations of the land. By gradual process, slavery is now turning its color to some much more horrible designs and if care is not taken, its course of flow will be much more wider than the time of slave trade. Our leaders in Africa must now change direction and find solutions to our problems. They should seek consultations with their brothers and sisters in the universe for a way forward.
