https://DiasporaEngager.com/extPage/CulturalIssues The Jews have seized on the holocaust saga and have made capital gain out of it. But Africa is afraid of its slave trade past and appears in a hurry to forget and move on. How does Africa benefit from that experience? The diaspora is not being well featured in African discourse. Yet they yearn to return in their millions to their roots. That is the focus of Badagry Diaspora Festival, to re-ignite a forum for them to look back to Africa with pride. We have a lot to gain by courting them back to Africa. Africa’s capital wealth resides in these Africa’s Historic Diaspora and African leaders are not doing anything to tap into it. Africa is doing nothing to sharpen this kinship with these Africans in the diaspora; these African Historic Diaspora (descendants of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade) are in-between the cultural essence of their host land and the homeland; they know their root is deep https://www.diasporaengager.com/Africa
