uhm Ghana only had self governance since 1957... .. South Africa had self governance since 1931.

Ghana had always had self governance.

Do you know what indirect rule was?

jl115:
yeah white people pillaged South Africa....... Guess that why its the wealthiest country in Africa....... And before you use your "but white people own all the wealth" just remember the average black South-African was richer than any other black nation even during apartheid.... Even today South-Africas Black population hold more wealth than any other so called black country.

will you stop making stupid comments

im even laughing at you

jl115:
forced?? Please bro forced by who? Themselves maybe certainly not by Ghana

Roosevelt forced them to

Go and read about the Atlantic Charter and you will never make dumb comments like this again


too many idiotic children running their stupid mouth on things they dont know.

jl115:
you have the memory of a gold fish

i dont answer dumb comments from dummies

not especially little animals

go and say this to a black South African and see the slap he will give you

jl115:
I don't get your point?? The Whites of South Africa are not the same as the ones in europe. To the Boer people Africa was/is home and they died fighting for it against British colonisers just like any other Black nation in Africa.

Apartheid was simply one African group oppressing another.... Not anything new if you look at the recent history of Africa.

The Boers wanted independence just as much as any other black nation and despised the British just as much as any Black Nation.

Even today stats show that the Afrkaner minority is the least likely to emigrate to another country than any other ethnicity in South Africa, even though economically they have the most means to do so

NairobiWalker:
You count your incoming diaspora as tourists and we still beat you. Imagine if you didn't.

who is a tourist?

you keep being dumb

you have never overtaken Ghana ever in sheer tourist numbers and neither have you ever overtook us in the revenue.

jl115:
some what true yes!!! Great that you finally acknowledge that Ghana's independence had nothing to do with Ghanaian resistance and everything to do with the British decision to decolonise its empire

It had everything to do with Ghanaian resistance

independence are not granted on silver platters

jl115:
Because the British already decided in 1945 it would decolonise its colonies.... And not because Ghana had a few riots

Britain did not decide
Roosevelt forced them to sign the agreement to allow countries who want to decide their own political future do so.

Britain signed that agreement and took the goodies that came with it but refused to allow any country go.

Those who were educated enough and had knowledge of the laws took them to court using their own laws whiles carrying out the physical fight.

jl115:
I guess it's a good thing I'm white so there goes your argument!!

that is why you talk stupidly

no wonder

you've pillage a country and come online making useless statements

mtisTheQubit:
the guy ask you a question..answer now

which guy asked me a question ?

mtisTheQubit:
Yes democracy at work... ths is so African in making

the structure of governance in all countries are different

vaxx1:
You mean when the only governance was only lead by the white minority. where the only Laws introduced by the British controlled union where upheld and strengthened and become something apartheid?

I remember my junior high school story book . sizwe banzi is dead ? that is exctally what happens in your country. you were still a stool to your white master.

he doesnt know what it means to be a true constitutional republic

jl115:
If they feared that other countries would become independent after allowing Ghana to become independent then why oh why did they already make the decision to decolonized all their colonies back in 1945??

And NO I did not forget that.... I actually had decent schooling unlike you.... Never mind the fact that South Africa was also a British union

They didn't make the decision to decolonised

They were forced to sign an agreement.

Even after they signed that agreement, they refused to grant countries the free will to determine their political path.

jl115:
Bro think logically for a moment, how is Ghana any different to the dozens of other African colonies that gained their independence at the same time??

Ghana kept it own governance and political systems

that is how Ghana was different

gallivant:
That's stupid reasoning. Countries have many other types of visas the problem in West Africa is fraud. Even refugees claim to be tourists.

exactly

that is why, if you come on a tourist VISA you become a tourist.

jl115:
riots or no riots doesn't matter, Ghana would have been decolonized regardless if you had riots or not

where in the world did you hear independence being gifted ?

jl115:
Yes they couldve had Ghana as a colony if they so wished..... They were much much much much more powerful.

their power was so diminished after the second world war.

They couldn't face being dragged on all front

jl115:
Ghana became a Republic in 1960.....South Africa became a Republic in 1961, so please explain how one year according to you is "took long to be given"

no one is discussing the status of SA political struggle

will you stop being a fool

mtisTheQubit:
no...the folks did not like the place ..fact...

no
they couldnt afford to

They resided in places were they werent paying anything for their occupation.

Places were the people were backward and with no political and government structure

vaxx1:
Then you have diahorea in your brain . what call for riot and numerous court sitting is what you called gift?

he is dumb

jl115:
It was gifted just as the independence of the rest of the African colonies including South Africa

no wonder you guys are stupid
especially for someone to think his independence was gifted.

jl115:
Did the British also fear, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Kenya ect ect because all of these countries gained independence at more or less the same time as Ghana??

Their fear was the fact that agreeing to allow Ghana become independent will lead to a flood of other nations being independent. And their fears came true because they couldn't stop it from happening.

Just incase you've forgot
all the colonies were self sufficiently dependent on their own resources.

mtisTheQubit:
seriously we dont want to compare with you... there is no need at all

exactly

yet you still can't help yourself but compare to us.

WE watch and laugh at you all throughout

because the very idea is funny.

NairobiWalker:
Looool

Get off that weed man.

just fact kiddo

mtisTheQubit:
man Ghana wasnt a settler colony...they just got bored an left..for others it was hard season...

they couldnt have even tried to settle in Ghana.

Because the paid for their occupation till the 1900s

jl115:
If the British wanted to they couldve still had colonies all over the world, never mind Ghana, the decolonisation of the British Empire was due to internal sentiment, and certainly not Ghanain resistance.

even if they wanted to, they couldnt have had Ghana as a colony beyond when Ghana became independent.

Because of how Ghanaians were educated and the strong team of lawyers that kept embarrassing the British empire whiles the popular sentiment was against further British occupation

mtisTheQubit:
there is a reason they did not want to leave east or south africa..British colonies in west Africa did not fight for their independence..they were give free of charge...fact

okay bye bye

Its good to be educated so that you wont have to be castrated because of your own lands.

Britain colonies in West Africa stopped britain in it track by using the law, from taking lands here.

the power of education

vaxx1:
You keep repeating this hogwash. . Ghana independence was won not gifted . the reason for kwame nkrumah imprisonment ...... thr British wanted but educated Ghanaian used their law against them.

it's good to be educated

will you stop making stupid noise
Everyone who enters a country on a tourist VISA is a tourist even if they are your citizens from abroad.

NairobiWalker:
In terms of what? Tourism? Kenya is the second best in subsaharan Africa.

Nigeria and Ghana consider returning diaspora as tourists.

Tanzania counts every single cent that a tourist spends in their country as income from tourism and also includes the ripple effect of tourism as part of the earnings.

Kenya meanwhile only counts the money tourists pay directly to enjoy what Kenya has to offer. That's why those three countries think they can compete with Kenya - but they're far behind.

vaxx1:
Ashanti have been trading with Sudan and Egypt for long . including mali whixh have access to weapons and European ammunition.

yeah
More than 600 years of trade

jl115:
whats this supposed to be?? Your book doesn't disprove anything I said, infact it confirms what I said as it states Ghana became a diminion in 1957 and a Republic in 1960

now that you have learnt something

dont go back making the usual stupid noise you were making before.

jl115:
The Asantes fought but a drop in the ocean of the British Empire which didn't even formally declare war on the Ashanti kingdom... .... Yet still lost.

If the British wanted to they could've sent over half a million soldiers like they did against the South African Republic and wiped the Asantes from the history books.

I know the Brits wiped out SA but they didnt do the same here and this is not a comparison with SA or any country for that matter yet you keep usurping the SA story.

Britain had a formidable army spread across West Africa and form that it gathered for most of the wars it fought.

And im talking about more than a million strong army and it only pulled those armies out during the 1900s
