Why does Modern-day Slavery & Dispossession still exist today in the Middle East and North Africa?
If you wish to go to Dubai or Abu Dhabi, ask yourself a very simple question.
Why do I want to travel to the United Arab Emirates?
I want to appeal to everyone of us here. I wish our young ones particularly ladies between 18 and 35 will listen.
If you want to go and buy clothes, shoes and other things to bring home to sell in Nigeria to make money, ask yourself some other questions.
How much is my flight ticket to go and return? How many days do I plan to stay?
Where will I lodge?
How will I feed myself for the 5-10 days, I am staying there?
Do I have the money required for food and accommodation?
Apart from all these expenses, you need at least $2000 to buy the goods you want to buy there and bring to Nigeria to sell.
Altogether, your total cost including flight tickets and accommodation could be AT LEAST $3000 to $5000.
If you DO NOT have a minimum of $3000 for the trip, I advise you NOT to embark on the journey.
If you allow yourself to be taken to DUBAI by anyone or a so called Agency, you may end up regretting the day you were born.
Nigerian girls in particular (and African ladies in general) now eat oyinbo and Arab SHIT. Yoruba’s call shit “Igbe”.
The Agency will calculate for you all the money they spent bringing you and lodging/feeding you in Dubai. You will eat shit for years and will never be able to pay your debt and regain your freedom. Your passport is seized for years.
Going into prostitution and fucking 30 different men a day, in your mouth, anus and vagina, is even much better than opening your mouth for one white or Arab to shit regularly in your mouth and use your tongue to lick the remaining shit in the oyinbo’s anus, until the anus is clean.
Rich Arabs no longer use water or toilet roll to wash their anus when they shit, they look for black girls to come around and suck/lick all the shit off their anus, with their tongues.
I warn you. If you don’t have your own money to go to Dubai and return, please DO NOT travel to Dubai. If you allow any “Agency” to take you there promising you some non existent jobs, you are as good as dead. You will eat shit, lick shit and suck shit until you die. The “Agency” has thugs and criminals working for them, and they will force you to do just anything.
Please WARN all the desperate girls around you. Those ladies in Dubai today who tell you they are working are most likely into prostitution or SHIT eating and licking.
For just $250, they will lie to you to come through their agency and you go there and get stuck like thousands of girls.
I warn you again. Parents, warn your girls.
A stitch in time saves nine!!!

Today, slavery takes many forms, from prison labor to sex trafficking and forced marriage to forced and bonded labor. Most of us indirectly support and benefit from slavery without our knowledge.

In 1619 twenty Africans were brought to the English colony of Jamestown, Virginia. Historians are undecided if the legal practice of slavery began there, since at least some of them had the status of indentured servant. According to John K. Thornton, Europeans usually bought enslaved people who were captured in endemic warfare between African states. Some Africans had made a business out of capturing Africans from neighbouring ethnic groups or war captives and selling them.
Slavery has historically been widespread in Africa, and still continues today in some countries. Systems of servitude and slavery were common in parts of Africa, as they were in much of the ancient world. Britain abolished slavery throughout its empire by the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 (with the notable exception of India), the French colonies re-abolished it in 1848 and the U.S. abolished slavery in 1865 with the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Just one month after writing this letter, Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which announced that at the beginning of 1863, he would use his war powers to free all slaves in states still in rebellion as they came under Union control. Some historians assert that as many as 17 million people were sold into slavery on the coast of the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, and North Africa, and approximately 5 million African slaves were transported by Muslim slave traders via Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Sahara desert to other parts of the world.
Among the last states to abolish slavery were Saudi Arabia and Yemen, which abolished slavery in 1962 under pressure from Britain; Oman in 1970; and Mauritania in 1905, 1981, becoming the last country in the world to abolish slavery, when a presidential decree abolished the practice. However, no criminal laws were passed to enforce the ban.
Slavery in the Muslim world first developed out of the slavery practices of pre- Islamic Arabia… Arab or Islamic slave trade lasted much longer than Atlantic or European slave trade: “It began in the middle of the seventh century and survives today.

Does slavery still exist today in the Middle East? Unfortunately, yes. But not in the same way you might think. People from certain countries come over to the middle east to work jobs like maids, waiters/waitresses, or cleaners, but mostly maids and cleaners. What happens in some cases is that when they are assigned to a household – the head of the household takes away their passports and forces them to work under poor circumstances. Sexual slavery by prostitutes by pimps exists all over the world, including the US. Wage-slavery of clothing manufacturing workers exists all over the world, too (“sweatshops”), and slavery of children (e.g. brick-making) in India is horrible. The trafficking of persons is the fastest growing and most profitable criminal activity after drugs. Today slavery typically involves women and children being sold into involuntary servitude by the means of violence and deprivation. According to this definition, research from the Walk Free Foundation based on its Global Slavery Index 2016 estimated that there were about 40.3 million slaves around the world in 2016. Of these 45.8 million, it is estimated that around 10 million of these contemporary slaves are children. Slavery was widespread throughout the ancient world, more common than not, and the Middle East was no exception. All the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations used slaves, taken for all the reasons in the question, debt, war, profit and the like.

Modern-day Slavery is very alive and the people who are powerful enough to stop it are the biggest beneficiaries.

Humans beings are selfish animals. Modern forms of slavery can include debt bondage, where a person is forced to work for free to pay off a debt, child slavery, forced marriage, domestic servitude and forced labour, where victims are made to work through violence and intimidation.

We can also blame the people too. Slavery in Libya is part and parcel of the thriving illicit migrant trade to Europe, with horror stories regularly reported of packed-to-the-brim boats – the naval equivalent of rickshaws – being forcibly capsized by cutthroat smugglers who care nothing of life but only of money.

Contemporary slavery as it has been rebranded to recently is alive and profitable to the very people at the top (presidents, military, multi-billion companies…) They are the people fuelling this modern version of slavery or neo-slavery by using institutional bondage and unclear laws to bypass the system that is supposed to protect people in the first place.
