The Railway Built By The British Was For Resource Extraction And Expansion by BigBashiru: 3:35pm On Jun 14, 2021
I have often read on this forum how when the British were in Nigeria, how they "built railways for us and the railways were working".

I would like to make it clear that it is the conqueror that writes the history books not the conquered. So they could write whatever they wanted in there. But the circumstantial evidence is there for all to see. There is train in Onne/ Port Harcourt axis where oil is - same as in Lagos close to the sea port for loading ships back to europe.

Which commuter train did they build such as the recently completed lagos - ibadan one with passenger waiting lounges etc? NONE!

These British people are really thieves and seasoned liars sha. And for those that said colonization was such a long time ago, no it isnt - it was in force even in 1880 up to 1920 and until 1960. It lasted more than 100 years.

For those of us thinking of going to UK, Europe etc, please go its your right!
