    Emotional outburst does not win cases in any court of law, and if you disagree with what Obiri Boahen had said, why labeling him a bush man, and what is the meaning to that? By the way, bush and humans, which came first?

    Here are the facts:
    Africans were brought to Europe as slaves long before the transatlantic slave trade. The practice goes back to antiquity, but it happened in several distinct periods:

    Obiri Boahen is a blockhead who doesn't use his brain. Nobody is saying that slavery started with or by the West, slavery existed long before the time of Jesus Christ - long before Jesus was born, across major parts of the gl ...

    @Pellicles, please forgive Seidu. Insults are the only way he can contribute to an educated argument he doesn't even understand. His GHC 5 data will expire soon so he has to use it.

    Seidu, you're very stupid. What is wrong about what the man said. Didn't he acknowledge TransAtlantic slave trade was an atrocity, but called for a holistic narrative?

    Exactly! As for Nana Addo, he is a 3rd Class Morron and so the least said about him the better. However, Mahama is a History major and so his ignorance about slavery in Africa is unpardonable. Mahama is simply dishonest feign ...

    You are poorly educated. The Arab trade vastly outnumbered the transatlantic trade. It was also far cosylier in lives as they demanded eunuchs and the death toll was horrific.

    Obiri Boahen should have also talked about this too! Now, read it for yourself. History is what happened and recorded.Our greedy,arrogant and pompous chuef were just as vile and despicable. Why do we have to exclude them?
