Story of how Nigeria was sold for £856,000 by the British

15, 2021 5:54 PM In the early 1800s, the region now known as Lagos was a major port for slave trade. However, there was mounting pressure on the British from missionary groups to stop it. There was also a spike in the demand for palm oil at the time as a machine lubricant following the industrial revolution. This meant that the British began battling other European powers to end slave trade. The British wanted monopoly access to the palm oil and other industrial raw materials from the Niger Delta region. However, slaves continued to be exported to the Carribbean Islands and America by the Europeans. This caused a growing shortage of labour on the mainland which hampered agricultural productivity. Britain therefore passed anti-slavery navy squadron. The navy squadron began intercepting slave ships and returning captives to shore. Despite the efforts by the British to end slave trade, it continued to grow. It was simply too lucrative for the local rulers and the Portuguese slaves.

Batman - The Dark Knight Returns

Batman The Dark Knight Returns made almost every single "Comic Book Best of" list. Consistently, it was in the top five of every comic list out there and often at number one. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns was a 1986 four-issue miniseries by Frank Miller, illustrated also by Miller and Klaus Janson, and published by DC Comics. When the comic series was collected into a single edition later that year, the story title was applied to the entire series. The Dark Knight Returns tells the story of Bruce Wayne who, at 55 years old, returns from retirement to fight crime and faces opposition from the Gotham City police and the U.S. government. The story introduces Carrie Kelley as the new Robin and culminates with a confrontation against Superman. I must admit I am not as big a fan of Batman The Dark Knight Returns as many are as I found the story too dark and grim and the art not really to my liking,
