Rossikk: The EU should ask their member, Britain, what she did with all the monies earned from Nigerian exports from 1897 to 1960. If that money had been used to develop Nigeria rather than embezzled and used to develop England, Nigeria would have been as fully developed as South Africa at independence, and we wouldn't be having this conversation. So let them start with their own thievery. We are poor today because we are playing catch up, struggling to build things that should have been built 100 years ago.

Rossikk: It is not being colonised that is the issue. The issue is what did the colonialists DO in the respective nations they colonised? In SOME countries they built infrastructure, schools, and created functional institutions which went on to serve those nations after independence. In OTHERS, especially the BLACK nations, all they did was loot, loot, loot and loot. In Nigeria, despite exporting hundreds of billions in today's money worth of resources from 1897 to 1960 they only built ONE university college, not even a full fledged uni. In 63 years of rule. As for roads, power etc, they did virtually nothing. In 1960, after 63 years of British rule, we generated 270 megawatts of electricity. 95 percent of Nigerians had no access to electricity. There was no national grid. Rail. Oh they built a line from Kano to the southern ports for ONE reason, ie to evacuate our resources. At independence, we were just a bush. Today we have advanced a lot and are still advancing, thanks to African rule. The EU can take their 'concern' for our 'plight' and stick it up their round holes.

ayox2003: Hey EU,

YOu have said nothing but the truth but come-to-think-of-it, you guys created it. You enthroned IBB and made him start the SAP that killed this economy. Buhari that didnt allow your evil motives, you ousted him. Same with Muritala. If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?

You have almost destroyed the foundation of this nation that its so difficult for this country to rise! You enthroned leaders that would only yield to your commands thats why GEJ cannot build refineries. GEJ knows that $600m export of goods to the UK is done yearly and 99% is oil - the oil Britain refines! Making our trade deficit so large! So until you leave our leaders alone and stop these propaganda, we wont grow as a nation. Until you allow Buhari, who spat on IMF policies or fearless leaders like Patrice Lumumba of Congo, Allende, Thomas Sankara and Steven Biko to serve their people and their people alone, Africa shall not be free! Libyans that were not poor because they had a fearless leader, what did you do to them? Or why did NATO kill Gadaffi? Where are libyans today, whats the pride they have?

Or do you want me to talk about how u have crippled our agro-economy? Or how France supported Ojukwu because of Niger delta oil? Oh! These things have a long-term effect on the black man, they have found their ways into our present crops of leaders, making them corrupt and power-drunk!

But Africa will definitely rise again! Africa will stand tall! We will get the leaders we deserve not puppets!

CFCfan: This is classic EU hypocrisy!

They (EU) should have talked about how IMF/World Bank and agents of Western commercial banks bribed some Nigerian leaders to accept ridiculous loans, that had ridiculous interest rates

Your poverty mentality won't let you think straight for once. So because the British refused to develop

us, according to you o, we should remain dormant, right. What part of the amazon

jungle are u from

kneatswan: Buhari, ibb, abacha, abdulsalam, obj and gej are responsible 4 our problem.

eGuerrilla:

Why is it that your response to any critical appraisal is always bereft of objectivity?

Was Singapore not colonised from 1826 to 1963? Ditto Malaysia - colonised by the Portuguese from 1511 to 1641; by the Dutch - from 1641 to 1824; by the British - from 1824 to 1942; and by the Japanese between 1942 and 1945.
