Just borrowing a leaf from fools like you who also evade points when you get stuck.

America maintains a standing military presence in Japan and Germany today. Infact America has stockpiles of nuclear weapons in Germany as we speak right now. How has that affected them as a nation?

Sorry native americans have gambling rights (considering gambling is illegal in the US).

Indians have one of the highest rates of poverty and diabetes in the nation.  Plus they continue to fight for land and water rights till this day.

gambling revenues for reservations are chicken change compared to what they have lost.  Native americans are an example of when occupation goes wrong.

you must be retard-ed

so gambling rights somehow make up for the genocide and the fact that americans essentially stole their land from them?

what kind of revisionism whitewashing weed are you on? or it doesn matter because america was a 'developing' nation at the time ?

based on your absurd writeups, gerany and japan's economic status today is solely the result of their occupation by america

even then, germany and japan are a LOUSY analogy in this context

nigeria's colonisation by a foreign power has nothing in common with the occupation of a defeated country by the victor, /bolstering of a nation against an ideological enemy


anyway, some people 'benefitted' from colonisation - latter day house nuccas

maybe thats what you're shooting for

I completely beg to disagree. White females have the highest rates of osteoporosis, blacks have the highest obesity and teen pregnancy rates . . . is that an issue with "occupation" and "oppression" too? You can trot out any myriad of statistics to back up a pointless claim.

gambling revenues are not the only thing native americans have gained . . . i'm sure native americans in Mexico or Cuba would rather be in America today.

they are only a "lousy analogy" because they make nonsense of your bellicose claims. Arabs occupied north africa and are still there till today. I never hear a peep from any of u fools. You also worried about the genocide of the blacks/copts in Egypt for example? You worried about the genocide in Darfur too?

Nah its just easier to cry about the native american genocide . . . i can bet those folks are thanking God they were "occuppied" by Americans and not arabs. They'd be extinct by now.

Native Americans in the Americas all have the same issues today, land and mineral rights. Occupation paid off in certain places but it certainly didn't pay off for Native Americans who were almost wiped off. Native Americans in the US are obviously living better than say an indian in bolivia but that isn't exactly difficult to achieve.

good point about the nubians in Egypt though. dog eat dog world

they would be there as immigrants - not as a defeated people

but do whites not have the upper hand thanks to centuries of subjugation? Japan prior to WWII developed into a naval power without occupation.

I dont agree with you on the colonialism part fully . . . i believe the major problem with colonialism was that we ended up with artificial nations. The Japs developed fully without occupation, they have bounced back even stronger with a US military presence. It might interest you to note that South Korea also has a large US military presence (since the Korean war) and has developed into one of the strongest world economies today.

Is colonialism 100% good? NO!

But is it far far better than what we currently have? YES!

We claim we dont like to be occupied by the US . . . can you pls tell me why we continue filling the DVlottery every year? Why are majority of those bawling anti-american sentiments safely ensconced in that same US they hate? Cant they go back to Nigeria?

wiser people than our resident house nigge-r said it best - the worst thing that happened to africa was the arrival of the white man, after that - his departure

Japan prior to WWII developed into a naval power without occupation.  Occupation isn't needed for developed.

soon he will be implying that singapore's success is also due to white influence

this is actually a different sort of racism - japanese have alwasy been industrious. its an extremely small mind that wil try to attribute their tech savvy etal solely to occupation by america

please explain to me as a smart guy exactly how a military occupation by the us contributes to economic development

china was never occupied by the us - neither was india -


korea and  japan are they are where they are because of their work ethic - not because of any miltry occupation

is it the us military that buys all those electronics /cars/ nintendo games?

That is exactly the point! A US occupation of Nigeria for example shld not be a hindrance to our development . . . if we ever had any intention of developing in the first place.

Id'ot, the point is that contrary to your argument, a US occupation does not necessarily result in the stagnation of a nation. Japan grew into an economic powerhouse that, most importantly, lives peacefully with its neighbours.

china was never occupied by the us - neither was india -

China and India? What a twit. China and India's per capita income is abysmal. They only enjoy such economic clout because of their enormous populations.

well places like Somalia and Tanazania have experienced Arab conquest or invasion.  Somalia at some point was controlled by Omans.  Northern Africans have been arabized over time. An example would be berbers or the tuaregs in Niger Republics (blacks that think they are Arab)

i believe the major problem with colonialism was that we ended up with artificial nations.

Yeah, i think your argument should be did we get independence too early?  Africans should have been trained as administrators rather than europeans just jumping ship.

what was the purpose of colonialism? just  means of acquiring africa's resources

you don't need to train  your conquered subjects as administrators in order to do that.

there's a lot of romanticism of the colonial days now. the fact is that natives were second class citizens with very few opportunities. yes the country worked , but it only worked as far as getting the resources out was concerned. the europeans did not create any of that infrastructure out of altruism, it was simply a support framework for their occupation.

its scary the way even naija youths are beginnning to think strictly along religious lines and less of logic,
i don't care who rules the country in as much as i can get regular light, fuel and a conducive economy and environment,
What our leaders have done is far worse than any colonial masters can do or will ever do to us,
and for all those who stay abroad and scream about naija, i think its better they come back home stay, have 1st hand experience before making their comments,

It was mixture in places like Tanzania and somalia but pretty much a takeover in places like morocco and libya. Arabs dominate those countries.

I read in a book that for every 10 pounds the british made in Nigeria, about 9 pounds were sent back to britian.  That doesn't bode well for the natives.

Are you jokin or are u just pretending not to know anything about history and current affairs . . .

For your information Arabs colonised North Africa in the following places . . .

- Egypt . . . and it is still colonised till today . . .

- A significant part of North Africa. . .

- Present day Sudan . . .


Please never ever let those that respect you and know the truth see this things you are posting cus they might end up being embarrased of what you are saying . . .


oyb:

When Greco-Romans left "African" North Africa . . . Arabs came in but instead of leaving North Africa. . . they end up Arabising North Africa so much so that most naive people now even think North Africa is part of the so called Middle - Eastern Arab land . . .

Hence when the European colonisers of Ancient Egypt left . . . Arab colonisers just took their place . . .


Arabs were colonisers in North Africa . . . and would always be . . .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit:

Mr Oyb . . . its obvious u choose to be naive about history . . .

Do you realise that a significant numbers of Black Africans have an history that shows that they migrated from somewhere . . . at different points in time.

- Guess what direction they were reported to have started the migration from  . . . YES YOU GEUSSED RIGHT, MOSTLY THE PLACES NOW OCCUPIED BY SO CALLED ARABS. . .

- Do you even know that Yorubas as a people have been reported to have a connection to the North Africa in terms of migration.

- Geuss the people that are currently in the place your ancestors were reported to have migrated from  . . .YES ARABS.

- Yet at the end of the day . . .you still choose to be a servant of the Arab Moon God . . . how pitiful.
