That's why they were called The Great Britain!! conqueror of many island and countries in the world. Towards the advent of Industrial Revolution the Europeans countries need massive resources and cheap labour to start developing their countries. So, they thought they couldn't be the only one living on this planet. They started embarking on a different exploration voyage around the world to discovered so many island and countries, meeting the natives. Most of these journey were successfully finance by their monarchical system of government something black people will failed to do because we don't like investing on something we would not see immediate result. During this period, explorer jobs was like HOT cake job just like working in an oil company this days. Many whites were willing to take the job to travel on a very long distance on a ship for years on the Atlantic ocean looking for colonies because of the huge amount pay they will got and the total respect they will earn. They had with them so many men of different fields and profession such as doctors, mathematician, engineers, map readers and interpreter, soldiers, nurses, captains, naval officers, cooks, e.t.c. Although, during these their voyage on Atlantic ocean, hundreds of these men died before reaching the chores of Africa due to unfavorable weather condition at sea not only that some contacted disease immediately they land on African soil for the first time but does not discouraged them from discovering many nation and achieving their aims and objective to colonized Africa, shipped so many African people and it's resources for approximately more than 400 years. This European white people are just too adventurous and fully well determined to enslaved more than half of the world.
After discovering the importance and riches gaining from stealing African resources and enslaving African countries, this moved many rich whites especially from the royal families and some well to do people among them to began the slave trade business and this gave colonization of Africa more widely, recognition, popularity, support to finance more exploration of many undiscovered countries just to shipped in millions of Africa to Europe and America. The white can't do all these alone so they need some natives to help them with language interpretations for easy business transactions, deals, to sign treaties and agreement with traditional African Kings. They had taken and selected some blacks men for that job after their first successfully voyage on African soil.
This trans Atlantic Slave trade exit between 15th century to 19th century. The majority of those who were enslaved and transported in the transatlantic slave trade were people from Central and west Africa that had been sold by other West Africans to Western European slave traders while others had been captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids. Europeans gathered and imprisoned the enslaved at forts on the African coast and then brought them to the America and Europe. What also made the European slave traders to be successful in their business was that Africans Kings of the majority tribes were waging war against the minority tribes over supremacy. victims of war were sold to slavery, some corrupt and greedy African wealthy people formed alliance with the European slave traders in exchange of goodies to raid other Africans minority tribes just to sold them as slaves. Although, we still had few African Kings who fought and fought to fight the European slave traders from enslaving them but unfortunately, they were defeated due to European sophisticated military weapons even as at that time. So definitely, all of them including the King himself and his entire family be will sold to slavery. Such as we have in Nigeria King Jaja of Opobo and some Kings in Western/Eastern Africa countries.
Any African King who tried to resist against the European slave traders were forcefully removed from the throne by forming a rebellion with others African tribes who had seen favour of the whites
I hope I have done little justice to your curiosity.

Its eu:ropean terrorism and savagery you're trying your best to sugarcoat by writing all this nonsense and ignorant jargons... If you're a Nigerian then you're the perfect slave with extreme slave mentality...

They will soon join the league of other failed black nations as usual.


Black people need to sit down in sober reflection and ask themselves why they cannot govern their own black nations and lead their people to a communal progress devoid of tribal, ethnic and religious marginalization that breeds corruption, inequality, distrust, genocide, ethnic and religious tensions.



Until black people find solution to this, all black nations will continue to dance backwards while the rest of the world progresses.



Individual success is not equal to national success. That you have few or a handful of rich people who became rich by looting public funds, romancing with corrupt politicians to cury government favors, cutting corners and engaging in shady deals to amass dirty wealth does not make your nation a success.



A successful nation give every citizen the opportunity to succeed and prosper at their own pace without shortchanging their destinies

Sheriman:

Since they have free us as a black country, what has any African country achieve? Especially this Nigeria we are all living. What our Nigerian corrupt politicians is doing to us in this country is more of even worse than what colonial master did then.

codemaniacs:


it has nothing to do with been "the most adventurous and the most ambitious" but savagery and terrorism.... don't ever in your life call terrorism and savagery as adventure and ambition.. Just because they are m:uslims does not mean they are terrorists and savages....

you said "I wonder how a nation of less than 70m people where able to conquer and colonize half of this world."..

the answer is simple using yourself and your family as example, Do you own w:eapons? Do any of your family members own w:eapons?

If your answer is no then it means you're a peaceful person and your family is a peaceful family...

Now imagine a group of savages and terrorists that you call "adventurous and ambitious" invading your peaceful house and your peaceful family in order to steal, kill, rape and pillage you and your family and take over your lands and your wealth and tell me if you and your family members will win such a battle

MALIGNANTGuest:

...you mean a prostitute being bestowed with a national hero award...
What an exemplary model for the upcoming girls.
It tells us how FOOLISH the nation has been.
Now we can understand why they have been under perpetual rule by the British.

Just imagine someone like BUHARI bestowing National award on TIWA.

JOemmy:




But some of our black african tribes like the fuanis are also guilty of this same thing their own is even far worse cause they leave the people they conquer more devastated than they earlier met them.

codemaniacs:


the bri:tish leave the people more devastated than they earlier met them. If not for the hardwork and peaceful nature of our ancestors in southern Nigeria, southern Nigerians will be in poverty because the bri:tish created Nigeria in a way where Northern and Southern Nigeria will engage in endless wars...

I intentionally did not mention the fu:lanis...

the N:igerian police force before it was created , was a group of rag-tag northern Nigerians ( history portrays them as H:ausas but in my opinion they were mostly f:ulanis ) formed by the bri:tish to carry out guerilla attacks on tribes that were fighting against the b:ritish by burning down villages, killing, raping e.t.c..

In summary,
the f:ulanis were trained by the br:itish to attack tribes in southern Nigeria who fighting against the british....



In full text,
southern Nigerians were always prepared to attack the Bri:tish if the Brit:ish attacked them. And southern Nigerians of that era empowered each other. When the Brit:ish left Nigeria there was no University in Nigeria.

before the br:itish left Nigeria, the Br:itish did not build one university, our number of primary and secondary schools were very low, br:itish did not build smooth roads all over Nigeria , no housing estates, no plans for clean water for communities, majority of the private companies where owned by the br:itish and they only gave Nigerians clerical work which is what the education system they gave us is meant to produce office assistants.

All the developments you see in Nigeria today from Abuja to lagos to calabar to Akwa-ibom to oyo to Enugu e.t.c are all built by Nigerians, our parents, our grand parents e.t.c the br:itish left Nigeria to rot. Everything you had and have the privilege of enjoying in Nigeria was and is through the hardwork of parents, grand parents, and other Nigerians.

This headline of yours is actually controversial. You should have said Queen Elizabeth and not just Queen. It's like claiming she's the queen of the world, which she kinda is but not really

Supported, Nigeria needs to have peace along ethnic lines. This British contraption is not healthy. Foolish Nigerians defending British company with AK47.

Maxymilliano:
Yep. They all want independence but when they need money etc then it falls on the British and Chinese Government again.

hatchy:
Oya now you people have become a Republic, don't go and loot all the money in government o. That was the case of Nigeria and other black government countries. Soon as the white man hands over power to him, nepotism, corruption, political thuggery, sit tight, ethnicity and religious sentiments enters and destroy them....
Not that the whites are not corrupt but they have conscience while the black man's sold his own to the devil.
Buhari is a typical example.

Blacks are incapable of ruling themselves. Period!

Reflect7:


Shut up your stinking lips there, slaveboy.

Why have Barbados' neighbours like Jamaica and Trinidad etc not destroyed their economies since they declared independence decades ago?

Instead they've gone from strength to strength.

Did CNN not show you the answer to that one?

Dumbass Nigerian slave. JUST SHUT UP where it concerns black nations because you are completely clueless and brainwashed. All you slaves in Nigeria know is how to bleach your skins and worship whites. You're worthless to the world black community, and a disgrace and embarrassment, with your slave mentality.

By the way, the whites you worship looted Nigeria 1000 times worse than Nigerian leaders ever did. That was why your first power station (Kainji Dam) was built only as late as 1964, AFTER INDEPENDENCE, and commissioned by the Balewa govt. The whites ruled you for 100 years prior, exporting your resources, and did not build one power station, or one university, or one expressway. Today you count these things in their hundreds courtesy of black rule over a much shorter period of 50-60 years.

You are an absolute disgrace to humanity to hate and diminish yourself while adoring your racist white enslaver and oppressor.

Have you finished foaming in the mouth??

I don't have anything to tell you because we're not in same class.

Go and eat Mama thank you.
