What does Bepo mean by the term "new slavery"?
The forced labour system in Nigerian schools
The economic challenges of the working class brought on by bad governance
The exploitation of teachers by private school owners
The voluntary migration to foreign countries to join their workforce
Explanation
According to Bepo, "new slavery" is when "Africans themselves, especially Nigerians, in japa fit, voluntarily and desperately [walk] into the workforce of who seemed to be the yester masters". This means that we Africans, who are migrating, are voluntarily engaging in a new kind of slavery. This can be found on page 47 of the novel.
