What reparations will ordinary Ghanaians eventually force their Chiefs to pay to atone for yesteryears slave trade?

In the fullness of time, Ghana's thoroughly-fed-up populace, will force their nation's Chiefs, to pay reparations, for the role played by their forebears, in facilitating the slave trade, for European slave traders to profit so mightily, from, during its apogee.

Chiefs across Ghana will make those reparations, to atone for the egregious betrayal of the Black race, by their forbears - by making restitution to ordinary people across the territorial landmass of the Republic of Ghana: for facilitating the crime against humanity, which the abominable slave trade of the past, represents.

The question, dear critical-reader, is: How will that happen? Well, as wise and aspirational Africans, ordinary Ghanaians will simply demand that their government nationalises, and takes over, Stool Lands, nationwide - and redistribute them to landless Ghanaians, who wish to farm, but don't have access to land: on 100-year leases. Simple. Case closed. Sarjewah. Full stop.
