(US Admin 2) Excerpt: Nigeria was a British colony until 1960, during which time, he argued, The British colonial masters took our land and handed it over to Muslim rulers... They gave us [non-Muslim groups] an inferior social and political role in the colonial hierarchical system in northern Nigeria, and that is exactly where we are right now. When first published in his book The British Colonial Legacy In Northern Nigeria, this thesis earned Professor Turaki a British government ban from entering the UK. Truth hurts even hardened British authorities, but Professor Turaki was bold enough in his speech to spread around the honors: The worst kind of slavery in Africa was conducted by Arabs and Muslims, he said touching on another specialist subject. The majority of African slaves went to the Middle East and Arab countries... not to the Caribbean, the US and Latin America. He advised the audience, for further information, to look into his book, Tainted Legacy: Islam, Colonialism and Slavery in Northern Nigeria.
