Do You Know About The Berlin Conference? by Observant: 11:36am On Mar 04, 2016 |
The Berlin Conference regulated European colonization and trade in Africa during the New Imperialism period. Called for by Otto von Bismarck, the first chancellor of Germany, its outcome, the General Act of the Berlin Conference, is often seen as the formalization of the “Scramble for Africa.” The European powers literally divided Africa up between themselves, often creating quite artificial states that lacked any cultural or linguistic or ethnic coherence. Most of the European powers, although they justified their acquisition of African colonies in terms of civilizing, ended up exploiting them. When de-colonization took place in the mid-to-late twentieth century—often reluctantly, following armed freedom struggles—the economies left behind were ill designed to cope with independence, being mono-crops designed for European markets, not products for local people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Conference So at least you know your country was not created with you or your ideologies to life at heart. WAKE UP AND FIGHT FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A COUNTRY THAT IDENTIFIES WITH THE IDEOLOGIES, CULTURE, RELIGION AND THE WAY OF LIFE OF YOUR PEOPLE BEFORE THESE EUROPEAN CRIMINALS CREATED EVIL CONTRAPTIONS IN AFRICA FOR THE INHABITATION OF THE DEVIL AND HIS MISCREANT.... BE IT BIAFRA, ODUDUWA OR AREWA. you can keep lying to yourself but events like the AGATU and MILE 12 will keep repeating itself, i pray it doesn't consume us all before we can use our brain. |
