The US and Britain still carry the stigma for their part in the slave trade from Africa, even after over 200 years, Britain is still being asked to apologise for their sins.
Yet this disgraceful practice in Nigeria is still taking place in the 21st century, while the world stands back and watches.
Isn't it time for UN sanctions to be put into force against Nigeria, and this evil practice brought to an end?

I don't see the connection between this and the global slave trade.
This is small groups of criminals exploiting others much as pimps and traffikers do all over the world.
What Britons should always be prepared to acknowledge (not apologise for that's just silly) is that major parts of the UK infrastructure and our prosperity today and over the past 200 years, were established in part with the blood, sweat and tears of slaves who had their lives stolen in a systematic process designed to enrich this country.
It led to the development and enrichment of our banking, insurance, food processing and manufacturing industries from which we have all benefited one way or another - not to mention large parts of our architectural heritage in cities that include London, Liverpool, Birmingham and Bristol.
That's a long way from this small scale, grubby enterprise in Nigeria.

I also fail to see the connection between this situation and the slave trade.
Un sanctions against Nigeria would do the same as they do everywhere else in the world - very little to help the people who are actually suffering.
Maybe we could send in some troops - we seem keen enough to send them in everywhere else in the world.
