The effects of the brutal enslavement and eventual colonization of Africa is still being felt till today. Majority of black African countries still struggle to govern themselves because they are relying on governance infrastructure set up to benefit the colonizers instead of coming up with a style of governance suitable to them!

Story...

It will take them 1000years to come up with style of Government that will suit them.

Why is that all non black ex -colonies are doing well except black African nations.

kingthreat:


Your fellow black men who kidnapped his own people to be sold as slaves in an unknown land are way worse.

Abeg tell the fools.

The worst part is that most of them do not go to their villages becos of one bad kinsman waiting for them, but they rather blame the white man, even when their worst enemy is in their household.

Really

you need to think beyond that. I understood what the user wrote but it is wrong to write that way.

I have experienced where a Nigerian or an Anglophone or even a francophone would see a lusophone and talk down on the person, saying Portuguese no get mouth or Portugal na backward country or English is spoken worldwide so keep quiet.

When you speak in that way, it shows that you as a negroid praising one master over another and how can you feel proud about that... instead of you to condemn it completely and you are saying such nonsense.

To me ,you have a very low self esteem and you need to decolonize the mind..

Sorry, I don't deal with this type of situation with emotion but with facts so that I can be able to differentiate between things and not stereotype. This's a question of choosing between good, better, best or bad, worse, worst. It doesn't mean you're supporting someone.

I used to be like you but one day I took a step back and gave Africa the benefit of doubt. England is cold and depressing. Africa is warm and nice. England, France and Germany have never truly left Africa alone because of the nice whether which they hope to covet one day and also because of resources. 75000 namibians were slain; its traumatizing - and the west also induced poverty into those countries....

Africa is the fastest growing continent in the world today.

We are a strong people and the best race.

Black men didn't just wake up one morning and began kidnapping fellow blacks to give to the white man. When white people came to Africa, they created the trade. Christopher Columbus himself said he kidnapped about 5 people in Guinea Conakry around 1483 and took them to Europe. This was even before his vogage to the Americas.

What began as small kidnapping by whites later took on a life of it's own and had blacks blindly participating in it. White people didn't just enslave people in Africa. They also enslaved people in India, in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, etc. They committed a global crime. But before leaving they gave us an education which makes you take blame for their crime!!.

The bad ones did slavery, the good ones abolished it. Because of slavery, the United States fought a civil war that took hundreds of thousands of lives. Now the world has moved on. But still in your country, your people are kidnapping their own for money, rituals and drug experimentation. Sooner we realize that we are our own problem, the better.

When will Biafra ask for forgiveness for the Genocide against the Non Igbo Easterners and Midwesterners

Biafra soldiers didn't massacre midwesterners. Mid westerners then was Igbo people (Aniomas Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika, Oshimiri, etc who were pushing to be seperated from Midwest region to join their Igbo brothers and sisters), Benin, Ijaws, Tshekiris, etc (present Delta and Edo states). rather the rest of the midwesterners massacred the Igbo people in the region just because they are Igbo.

People ran to some part of Edo State for safety and were told to go and meet their brothers. The lucky ones left back to Ahaba and Anioma land while the unlucky ones were killed there.

Please get your facts right.

When biafra soldiers were trying to leave their domain, they faced resistance from Nigeria soldiers.... they didn't massacre innocent civilians.

The records are everywhere and from interviews of Biafra heroes

... as I was saying in a previous thread (which appears to have been deleted), Christians perpetrated some of the worst genocides and acts of terrorism this world has ever seen. This admission is merely the tip of the iceberg. We should stop (the relatively new trend of) ascribing terrorism to Islam. Humans can be nasty, and that's the problem we should address.

(I'm Christian BTW)

Is this the new way you muslims lie now on Nairaland. After telling lies as trained at your islamic centers. You will end it with "I'm Christian".

Sledgehammer fall on your head there, cheap antichrist.

That's becos we are not interested in the benefit that Education brings, we are only intrested in the ego and hype that we are Educated not the gains.

We should blame ourselves not the Education system.

Some Nigerian Engineers a doing some of the work locally that was usually done by expatriate especially in the oil and gas sector.

There is quite some improvement but not yet there.

Lies.

Slavery has existed in Africa for hundreds of years before the whites came to Africa.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa

Their are several other links.

The system that existed in Africa wasn't a business but a type of master servant agreement to serve for a while, not a perpetual servitude. There were many reasons for that. Maybe to settle a debt or apprenticeship. Some are still being done today!.

I was talking about slavery as a "trade". Tell me how the trade in human beings worked in Africa before the arrival of Arabs and Europeans. You don't even know Europeans enslaved themselves across Europe before coming to Africa. Example; in Europe it's known that serfs (slaves) worked under a landlord and had no chance of freeing themselves forever. In fact, European societies were divided along the line of free people VS slaves i.e you could only be a free person or a slave for life. When slavery ended in Europe, they took their serfdom perception of slavery to the rest of the world.

Again, tell me about slavery as a "trade" in Africa before the arrival of Arabs and Europeans.

Go and read about Africa culture and caste systems.

Secondly my emphasis was on slavery in Africa before whites came.

The apologies and returning artifacts are fake. It is a spiritual exercise meant to ward off their coming judgement, they know the times we are living in and what is coming. But nothing will stop what is coming

Exactly, so the initial input was correct.

Bottom line, Europeans did mega damage to us because we've been useless from day one and still.

Now this doesn't absolve them of the evil atrocities they committed globally.

Some African countries never participated in slavery but still experienced European brutality...

Do you get it now?

Finally whether you love them or not, they'll only look out for their's!
