You're the one talking about individuals and that's why you don't understand the larger picture of the era Nkrumah and Azikiwe were born. But I am speaking about that era.

Nkrumah and Azikiwe were born when power was shifting from African autonomy to European domination.

Despite how long Europeans arrived Africa but power began to shift from Africans to Europeans only between 1880 to 1935- according to African historians. That's the era Nkrumah and Azikiwe were born, in fact, they may have fought the colonial wars against Europeans in their youthful 20's or at least knew those who did and either lived to tell the story or died. Seeing that as boys was the root of their inspiration to later kick out white people out of Africa.

I've given you a book, indeed, titled after that.

musicwriter:
Unfortunately, talking about specific date haven't allowed you to understand the big picture. We're not talking about a specific date but an ERA.

Dem Sha find way commoth that girl chai! That girl could have been a bragging right for APC towards carrying the youth along, but maybe there felt obi already has the youth in his super camp😁😁

casualobserver:
you clearly dont understand politics. In politics your strength as a leader is derived from the people you lead. Just like in Ambode's case, when the people say they dont want, they dont want and if you go against them they will take you out eventually.

i dont understand kano political intrigues, but all over twitter yesterday, it was clear that the Kano politicians did not want her.

pendragonbladgo:
Some here just talk any how....

In Nigeria, since we are not whites, is it normal for a woman of 44years to be single?
She can't live with a Man. Our Black tradition and religion enjoys women to be married!

Shetty is not fit!
She can't run a family so she can't run a nation. Nigeria is not a joke at the moment, it's a real business. Jonathan did such mistake, bringing prostitutes into government... And they ended up using government matters to entertain themselves and friends

We want women like Dora and Ajiya Bunkure

adanny01:
She is unmarried and never married.

Imagine, Muslim men having a political meeting with an unmarried girl at 2am. Imagine the thoughts of the men who see her as fair game. Even the thought is a sin so many of them would not like such a meeting.

Imagine a governor having a private political meeting with her in her house. The public will think otherwise.

A lot of such sceneries won't sit well with a lot of dedicated and even nondedicated Muslims.

musicwriter:
In history, 1861 and 1888 are the same time period. I already told you that dates aren't sacrosanct as long as you have a good guess, which is why historians use ca or circa to say within or about. You can even give or take out one thousand years depending on the time reference. Astrophysicists can give or take away one million years depending, again, on the timeframe being considered!!

On your last paragraph, such insult is unnecessary. I am not a pushover on this topic but here's Nairaland where you're free to deride anybody.

Books of wars against colonialism are out there for you to get more perspectives. One popular one is called Africa under colonial domination 1880-1935. Historians put a timeline on it!! If you read the book, you'll learn about many (not popular) freedom fighters whom Nkrumah and Azikiwe rode on their wings.

musicwriter:
All the years you call "formal" or "formally" fall within 1888, which I indeed previously said is when African historians put the beginning of colonialism. So, even though from your perspectives colonialism was already in full force but the fact is that some African nations still had some control just about the time Nkrumah and Azikiwe were born.

Colonialism spread over time. All parts of Africa weren't colonized beginning same day no matter how Europeans tried. Power was lost gradually not overnight, in fact, some nations like Ethiopia, Lesotho, etc maintained some sort of independence even after others fall.

Yes, there's the problem of ethnocentricity today and that's as a result of lack of knowledge of history. History which should be prioritized in African schools is not. But that's a different discussion.

Niger is pretty much dead if president Tinubu does not recognize it by cutting ties and trades and Nigeria can die too over it because of the response from their brothers across the border. Be very careful what you ask for but you need a brain to understand any of these. Legitimacy says we have a democratically elected president, what part of their democracy allowed for coup? They have no court?

Tinubu bought 336 marcopolo buses for BRT before leaving office, Fashola added 200 Daewoo bus while in office. Get your facts right before embarrassing yourself in public.

Cristiano Ronaldo has never failed to step up whenever he’s needed most. Christano prove himself again to be the greatest player of all time after he scored a fantastic goal at 87min to qualified his side for Arab Champions Cup

Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr managed a draw against Egyptian outfit Zamalek 1-1 in their final Arab Club Champions Cup group stage fixture on Thursday (August 3).

Al Nassr came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw against Zamalek and thus have qualified for the Arab Club Champions Cup knockout stages. Zizo scored from the spot to give the Egyptian club the lead, but it was Cristiano Ronaldo in rescue for Al Nassr who scored an 87th-minute equalizer.

Exactly!
Neither president Tinubu nor AU or ECOWAS should recognize the coup plotters.

If you're interested in becoming a president, join a political party then contest!

Going thru coup is never the way..

They were there and witnessed the transition to dependency. You'll understand it once you realize that there was a period of transition from slavery to colonialism. Problem is that you're using dates as if they're sacrosanct but historians don't use dates that way.

Again, the people that set us free (many we don't even know their names) were born within that period. Nkrumah and Azikiwe would have been born just 10-15 years after African societies lost power, so they lived the impact of colonialism firsthand from beginning to the end themselves.

Colonialism didn't begin overnight. It took many years of colonial wars, some still going on till the 1930's and even later.

Most of the people are so ininformed, so Kamala Harris is not regarded as a young person, or Macron of France?
The way most of you guys demonstrate your ignorance is alarming!

musicwriter:
Because there was a transition (some years gap) from slavery to colonialism. Again, give or take a couple of years when talking history

musicwriter:
Of course, take or add a couple of years. It doesn't have to be exact. I just mentioned known names to put things in context.

By the way, African historians put colonialism as beginning somewhere from 1888.
