520			_aABSTRACT The slave trade was a devastating chapter in Nigeria's history, resulting in widespread human suffering and the loss of significant human capital. The transatlantic slave trade, which lasted for centuries, disrupted social structures and led to the depopulation of certain regions, hindering the development of stable communities and the decline of local technology. After the slave trade era, a new means of impoverishing Africa was designed by countries at the Berlin conference of 1884-1885 in what was later known as colonialism. Colonialism further exacerbated Nigeria's underdevelopment by introducing political, economic, and social systems that primarily served the interests of the colonizers. British colonization, which began in the late 19th century, imposed a new set of institutions and policies that favored the extraction of resources for the benefit of the colonial powers. This approach hindered local economic development and prevented Nigeria from fully utilizing its resources for its own growth. The Royal Niger Company, a British multinational established in the late 19th century, played a significant role in Nigeria's underdevelopment. The company's primary objective was to exploit Nigeria's natural resources, particularly palm oil and rubber, for profit. This extractive approach undermined local industries and discouraged the development of a diversified and self-sustaining economy. This study employed qualitative measures to understand how the combination of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, colonialism, and multinational corporations contributed to Nigeria's underdevelopment through the erosion of indigenous institutions, loss of cultural heritage, and the exploitation of natural resources without adequate local benefits.
