                    Nothing was given.
                    There was an unfair barter,
                    the Africans should have known better.
                    It serves them right.

One Nigerian writer summed it all up thus :

".... before the white man came we had the land, they had the bible.
They gave us the bible and took our land .........." 

but the bible belongs to no one person alone !   (SMART GUYS, EH?)
