Britain did nit benefit half of the resources from the USA it stole from from Africa....

America had nothing to pillage from like the UK did from Africa or India....note also that America did nit experience same brutality meted to it like the UK did to Africa and India!




America & UK are one and the same. The US Declaration of indepedence of 1776 was actually signed by men of British descent and at least 90% of every US President is directly descended from a British King.

Experts argue that the War of Independence was actually more of a civil war. Even the American National Anthem is written to the tune of an old British drinking song.

Key places in America are also named after British Monarchs,..i.e Georgia,(King George II), Maryland (Queen Mary) Virginia (Elizabeth I, known as the Virgin Queen), North & South Carolina (Named after King Charles I)

Are you aware that Africa was not the only colony? The UAE got her Independence in 1971. 11 years after Nigeria. Can you compare them with Nigeria?

Yes, the US is feeling Superior and can never imagine being a member of the Commonwealth, as being a member of the common wealth makes them inferior. Besides, they US fought very hard for independence

They are part of it , they are making us poor on purpose
Aside that i blame our leaders for this uselessness


How are they making you poor?. And don't come with "they stole our natural resources" gibberish or we're still subject to neo-colonialism.

Your nationalists already fought for your independence. Years have passed and you're still blaming them instead of your leaders?. Look at countries like South Africa that got independence way after us, and see how developed they are.

If you ask me, the fight of our nationalists wasn't worth it.

I'm going to take time out of a busy Saturday to educate you mo-rons.

The people who got off the Mayflower and settled in Jamestown were from where? England. America, at least in its earliest incarnation was derivatively British. One could argue they're cousins. One understands America's sentiments.

One more thing. America's industrial revolution was driven by British folks who crossed the Atlantic carrying with them the blueprints of machines that were powering British industries. Basically industrial espionage. These folks then settled in America.

My question is why should YOU an African give a shit about the British monarchy?
Please learn to be civil and never call my attention again with an unwarranted insult.
A good number of Americans have sure have British ancestry, mostly from the Pilgrims who arrived in the 1600s. There is a sizable Irish, German and Spanish ancestry. However, the population that arrived from England do so due to the fall out of favor with the British crown and later in the 1780s, the War of Independence was fought to remove British colonialists from much of the East Coast.

Now I wasn't even talking about giving a shit about the Crown in the first place. I don't know where you read that from my post. I was emphasizing the futility of dwelling on the wrong side of the colonial past or playing the victim card and pouring blames for issues that can largely still be traced back to you. But rather progress as a nation so that you no longer live in so poor a condition that you try to find how to blame others better than you.

It might interest you to know that most of the British who left for America were castaways and poor people. However, America of today is much more powerful than England.

I'm in pain because it takes only a fool to love the killers of his people and fighting those who doesn't have issues with him .

Your forefathers will be turning in their graves.

Which forefathers, American was made by it's forefathers they laid the foundation on which the Americans now are building on..
Guess our forefathers were more interested in marrying wives and having countless sons..

The War of Independence was not a Civil war. The British colonialists signed what is referred to as the Paris treaty and redrew the boundaries of British North America, holding the part which is Canada today.

There's is a parable in my dialect that says Serving a master doesn't determine or deprive someone of success in life not even a wicked master.

One point though, the ancestors of the founding fathers of USA are English and Irish etc. Nigerians don't have Eglish ancestors. The fight has always been white vs black. Whites are always with fellow whites. That is why European immigrants after slavery were even preffered to own free land as soon as they step on US soil whilst blacks that have been there for centuries were prevented. Please it is beyond "mere colonialism and independence" but I appreciate your point.

Colonized my foot, the white people that are in present day America are of British origin, it's still the same people. If you trace Biden's ancestry you'll see that he is linked to the British. The white in America are not natives, they were largely British immigrants who invaded the red Indians who are the true Americans.

When Alafin of oyo or yaradua die how many Country fly their flag on half mast? Inferiority complex just de worry most of Una.

And how many people know alafin of oyo and Yaradua in the world.

This is the most respected monarch in the world and at point in time was a queen of many nations Nigeria include (1960 to 1963)

What people like Uju fail to realize is that had it not been for colonialism, life might still be nasty, short and brutish due to extreme barbaric practices like cannibalism, trashing of twins and other multiple births right into the dustin!

And Uju herself, she is not perfect. Only one person a divorcee and lesb.

Exactly. The US Independence struggle was even a violent one. However, the US have gone beyond the past to become close ally. That's progress. Living a sorry pitiable life in the past helps no one.

Third-world countries that have made giant developmental strides are no more bitter about colonialism. The ones shouting colonialism up and down are the ones who have refused to change their destinies. They blame colonialism for their underdevelopment, forgetting that other countries that suffered the brunt of colonialism have become first-world countries.

Yes, she became the queen of Nigeria and many other Nations by force, her people invaded Nigeria and killed many innocent people, some of which might be your ancestors. Her people invaded and forced their queen on you and today, you worship their queen because you are ignorant of what really happened in the past. Nobody voluntarily accepted her as queen, she was forced on other countries by her people. The bloody history of colonialism is there, come on bro can't you think?


You see, you just confirmed my statement, see how you belittled your own monarch and placed another man's monarch above yours, just a simply advice for you, the value you give to yourself is the value others will give you, if you think your own monarch isn't good enough to be celebrated then that is how it'll be. Centuries ago nobody knew that the British empire even existed, but they keep selling themselves positively, telling you that they are greater than you and today you've become a slave psychological and the painful part is that you don't even know you have a slave mentality, it's now a way of life for you.

I'm not even Yoruba, but I'll choose to celebrate any African monarch over a foreign monarch.

Bless you brother. This is something every African should understand. Funnily, it is mostly the backward people (Africans in this instance) that usually blame others for their woes. Come on, the USA was once a British colony and where are they today? Why are they not blaming the UK? The answer is simple, successful people don’t usually whine or blame others for what they ought to have done differently, they take their destinies into their own hands to actualize their dreams. Also talking about the Nigerian civil war, the late queen shouldn’t be held responsible for a war foolishly started and fueled by the fathers of the wailers who are now whining today. They (mostly Igbo officers) unjustly assassinated other people’s leaders and a series of events followed which later snowballed into a war which they eventually lost and their children have been crying foul ever since. When will an African ever accept responsibility and blame himself for his actions and inactions
