Africans had heard of the devil, of course, but never expected its manifestation in human flesh and blood until the whiteman appeared in their midst. The African was caught unprepared. He could not imagine the whiteman or any man with a soul doing what the whiteman eventually did to him. In fact, the whites at first posed as friends to win our confidence and entrench themselves on our coasts as tenants to trade. Then in the dead of night, when all peace loving people are supposed to be in deep slumber they struck. They stormed over-land, assisted by local traitors, corrupted with token western materialism, chasing us almost naked from sleep through the woods, maiming some, trapping others in their nets like game animals, to kidnap, chain and drag to their God-forsaken 'New World.' And the pains. The pains we suffered in the hands of those infidel servants of the Pope of Rome for the next five hundred years." - Naiwu Osahon
