> lol these are Nigerian youths. What does (presumably American) slavery have to do with them? I am going to answer this question on its own, without any relation to the rest of your comment or the article. It has something to do with them, because (1) Nigeria was affected by Atlantic slave trade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade#Slave_market_regions_and_participation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade#Slave_mar... And (2) the trauma and the effects of slavery don't just affect those enslaved, but also those left behind. If outer space aliens come to Earth and take half of population with them to their planet, I expect the city not to get back on its feet for a long long time, if ever.
