groovy Leaders - Nnamdi Azikiwe and Patrick heat contentBoth Nnamdi Azikiwe and Patrick Henry though they lived more than two hundred eld apart from each other, were leaders of their own cartridge holder. They both lived through unbearable, and inhumane conditions. Nnamdi Azikiwe through slavery in Nigeria, and Patrick Henry through the unbearable things that Great Britain had placed upon the colonists. The conditions in both of their times might have been similar, simply certainly not equal. The Africans were under much worse conditions than the colonists. They had to deal with the segregation of all the slew around them. Separate benches, and even different restrooms for the Nigerians and the whitened men. The ex-servicemen didnt get the same privileged that the white men did. They were denied many things. political freedom, economic security and social emancipation. They had to give up all that was theirs so that others could rule over them. The Nigerians were denied their basic human right that all people get. They were treated as if they of another kind like an animal or beast. Slavery was one of the worst things that the Nigerians had to live through. Working for others, and barely earning what would be just enough for their families, if they even got that, because some didnt get any notes if they were stolen, so that other Nigerians could get money. They were sold, traded and tossed around as if they were not people. They were squeeze to live under humiliating conditions. The conditions were unbearable to what the average person in America might be able to handle in this daylight and age. The Nigerians were torn from one of the most basic rights that we have here in America today. The right to freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. Through these conditions it is unnatural to live life, so that is why they needed their freedom. The Americans were treated in a similar way. They were coerce to live under laws that today would seem to be the craz iest ideas, and they seems like they could neer actually happen to anybody, but they did a very long time ago. They were taxed major amounts. They paid taxes on almost every item. There was completely tax on the items that they purchased from Great Britain, However they got all their items from Great Britain because in that respect was no other place that they could get these items, so they paid taxes on everything.
