You may not like what Gowon said but here are some irrefutable facts about the above two entities towards the sub-Saharan people.

1. Forceful depopulation of the continent.
2. Destruction of the culture and religion of the people.
3. Genocide and holocaust in the continent
4. Introduction of alien vices such as rape within the populace
5. Creation of antagonistic groupings within their creations ( countries ) as an order of control.
6. Instigating wars and terror within their created countries.
7. Meddling in the affairs of the people without invitation.
8. Unbridled negative propaganda on the continent; HIV, hunger, wars, corruption you name it.
9. Control of the resource of the continent through armed support of "elected" clients.
10. Murder and depose of leaders not favorable to their "cause".
11. Institutionalization of segregation along racial, ethnic and religious lines.
These acts fundamentally re-shaped who we are and are still affecting the way we live our lives.
