is involved in a muti-billion dollar historical resort development project in Nigeria that will feature a memorial and museum about slavery, which would include a theme park with a slave ship replica, along with casinos, shops, a golf course and condominiums. Visitors will be able to visit a replica slave ship and walk the route their shackled ancestors walked before playing a round of golf or relaxing by a pool. The investment group behind the plan, called The Motherland Group, has said it hopes that the resort will help attract African-American tourists keen to trace their roots back to Nigeria. The resort will also house memorabilia from the glory years of the Jackson Five.
