Is anyone safe in Nigeria? And reparations - should Africa pay too?

Africa Here and NOW

Mass killings and kidnappings get closer to Abuja, the Nigerian capital. Expert, Dr CHIDI ODINKALU, tells us it's not a matter of failing security forces, it's because of COLLUSION between some senior politicians and armed groups. And DONU, talks about her own terrifying kidnapping ordeal.

Plus, Should Africans who collaborated in the trans-Atlantic slave trade also pay reparations, along with their European business partners? One of the questions for British-Ghanaian MP, BELL RIBEIRO ADDY. We also asked:

* what it's like to be a socialist in a Labour Party that has drifted to the right?

* Why the Conservatives have more senior black and brown members than Labour?

*How much interest a future Labour government might have in Africa?
