MAN BECAME GOODS THAN GOATS BEING THE GOODS

Hi friends,

Economists tell us that, wealth is all goods and services that have money value. These goods in turn are under discrete virtue of demand and supply with factories and industries constantly at work for adequate supply to the markets. Man’s zeal for fame and other prestigious motives between the 16th and 17th centuries saw the peak of indiscriminate struggle for man as a good as cited in the opening sentence of this post.

This inhuman attitude had as its base of growing interest, the rich both man/nation in Europe and North Africa particularly. The poor / downtrodden principally the negro-Africans who at the time concentrated in West Africa than other areas were these chief cheap goods.

This was the practice termed “SLAVERY AND SLVE TRADE”. The two phases of slavery trade were Trans-Atlantic/ Triangular Slave Trade across the Atlantic Ocean and Trans-Sahara/Arab Slave Trade across the Sahara desert in North Africa.

It was in this kind of trade that John Hawkins became the richest slave trader while the British efforts together with William Wilberforce abolished this practice for James Summerset to become the first freed slave.

It is with thanks to this abolition that man’s interest for power over man today has an efficient regulatory body under the UNO which is the Human Rights (charter) without any ambiguity for human understanding.
