Nigeria: Jonathan Champions Blacks' Emancipation in Trinidad and Tobago

3 August 2012

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday urged black citizens of Trinidad and Tobago to dump slave mentality and play critical and leading roles in the world of commerce, economics, science and technology, saying slavery should produce leaders.

That is even still a challenge to us today which is why we are still struggling to govern our states in Africa", he stated.
