In the heydays of the Atlantic Slave Trade, a large swath of West Africa was nicknamed the Slave Coast by Western slave ship captains because most of the slaves were bought or plucked from there. The village of Alinta, located in a forest in the Slave Coast, was seized and turned into a base of operations for conquest and slave trading by a ruthless chief. Obi Odima held sway until British colonization and Christianity came to the land.
