In the first episode of Africa With Ade Adepitan (BBC Two), it’s the turn of the Paralympic athlete, TV presenter and all-round good egg to bear witness to this tiny speck of land that symbolises the greatest inhumanity. “Bye-bye Africa for ever,” the guide explains as Adepitan passes through the “door of no return” at the House of Slaves Museum, memorialising the final exit point for 10 million African slaves. There’s another kind of slavery now.”Next, Nigeria, the most populated country in Africa, and to Lagos, where Adepitan was born. Adepitan does ask him about the pastor’s private jet and notorious wealth, which he defends on the grounds that it is a necessity. Ducking both an invitation to join the church or probe further, Adepitan moves on swiftly.
