mansakhalifa: @O0XYGEN let me help you out here since it has become quite clear to me that you can't read. Here is what @Op actually said/posted: "Does Ghana Have Any Advantage Being The First Country To Gain Independence(and she added: Over other African countries)." Nobody mentioned sub-Saharan Africa here. Not even @OP. You just managed to somehow derail this thread with your ignorance. Congratulations.
What a shameless bratt. You started your bogus argument by saying even Liberia gained independence before Ghana. After putting some sense into your hollow head you've deserted Liberia for Sudan and still making useless noise.
I will provide you with the list of African countries and their dates of "independence ". And I will proof to you why Ghana is seen as the true sub Saharan African to get independence first. Independence Timeline:
1. Liberia 26 July 1847 (American) 2. South Africa 31 May 1910 Britain 3. Egypt 28 February 1922 Britain 4. Ethiopia 5 May 1941 Italy 5. Libya 24 December 1951 Britain 6. Sudan 1 January 1956 Britain/Egypt 7. Morocco 2 March 1956 France 8. Tunisia 20 March 1956 France 9. Ghana 6 March 1957 Britain
Now let's take the countries listed above Ghana one after the other
1.Liberia
Liberia was established as the home of freed African-American slaves, so it isn’t exactly considered a colony.
2. South Africa.
The second country on the list, South Africa, was a British Colony but became independent in 1910. For South Africa, which developed the system of apartheid, having a White or minority led government often disqualifies them from such distinctions. Theyve taken the end of the apartheid in the 90s as their true independence
3.Ethiopia
Although Ethiopia is often noted for never being “colonized”, Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935-36 (Abyssinian Crisis) which ushered in Italian settlers who stayed for six years. During this time, Emperor Haile Selassie was deposed and exiled until 1941. However, Ethiopia is often considered an occupied and not colonized territory.
4.Egypt, Morrocco and Tunisia are often disqualified because they are north of the Sahara.
Now the Sudan you are ignorantly making noise about
Another significant country in this debate that is often overlooked is Sudan. It is often argued that Sudan is the true country in Sub-Saharan Africa worthy of the distinction. Albeit physically being south of the Sahara though, Sudan is often disqualified by those that have historically classified it as a North African country. Others have disqualified Sudan because of internal instability that arose after its independence.
The recent secession of South Sudan though, may make a South Sudanese claim to being the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence a more a compelling case for those that considered Sudan a North African state.
However, since South Sudan is commemorating its recent 2011 date as its official independence day, its claim may be weakened.
Even the Sudan's themselves commemorate 2011 as their official independence day and an outsider like you is making noise .
bugre5555: hello am from Tongo a village in Ghana and we have been doing some cultural festival which they show case their magic abilities to the others and at the end they say that there is no God follow this link for the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nn4X9reVOs and tell me what you think
If you don't stop your foolishness u will see. Which village in Ghana is called Tongo? Idiot
mansakhalifa: @O0XYGEN So to you Sudan is not a sub-Saharan Africa country? Says a whole lot about your level of education and awareness. Contact Wikipedia and the Library of Congress to rid you of your ignorance. You know WHAT I HATE the most about the fact that you quoted me? You were so proud and arrogant in your ignorance and I abhor ignorance especially when it is blatant. Let me educate you further,sir: Any country outside of these-Egypt,Morocco,Libya,Algeria & Tunisia-is deemed to be sub-Saharan. Why is that so? Because they lie north of the Sahara as against south(hence the prefix "sub". Got that? Glad I could play teacher to you. Meanwhile READ! READ!! READ!!! Fare 'ee well.
Read what I wrote and stop spewing trash. Before the independence of Ghana Sudan was not a sub Saharan state.It was part of Egypt!!!! Are you this dumb? And from the time England and Egypt ceded them,they've been at war with themselves until 2011 when that country was divided into two. Don't just read but try to understand it as well. Kwasia. Now go and change the fact that Ghana was the first sub Saharan country to first gain independence with these your kindergarten claims
mansakhalifa: @O0XYGEN This is something I started studying as a kid which is long before you stepped out of you diapers. Now,Liberia was never colonized but in order for the British and French who saw it as nothing more than a quasi or semi colony of the US to deal with it as an equal in the diplomatic sphere,it had to officially declare independence in the july of 1847 and its first president was Joseph Jenkins Roberts(c'mon man it is not enough to make silly comments! READ!) Secondly,Ghana was never the first to gain independence in "Sub Sahara" Africa because Sudan and SA became independent years before that and they are both Sub-saharan States. How the heck did SA become independent in the 80s?!(nigger you are so dumb you mistook the end of apartheid and white rule for SA's independence). You clearly don't know your history so next time you see a topic like this walk away and don't try to expose your sour ignorance by trying hard to sound like you know stuff. Comprehend? Olodo.
You are the dumbest dude I've ever met. Sudan was part of Egypt. Google and see if Sudan was not part of sub Sahara Africa before the independence of Ghana. You are too dumb. And you also don't know South Africans marks the end of Apartheid in the 90s as their independence day? Read and understand before you start writing trash about things you know nothing about. Mumu
mansakhalifa: @onila Ghana was not "the first to gain independence"(whatever you mean by that). It was not even the "first" in West Africa. Ever heard of Liberia? Liberia gained/declared independence in 1847 (a full 110 years before Ghana). What sort of advantage did that give them over some other West African States for instance the Ghana you mentioned? N.B. Liberia was never colonized by any power. It was more or less owned by the American Colonization Society and the Maryland Colonization Society.
Look at how you've contradicted yourself. You said Liberia was not colonized yet u r again saying they were the first to gain independence in west africa. How can a place which was not colonized gain independence? You need a lot of thinking to understand why Ghana is seen as the first country to gain independence in sub Sahara Africa not this Kindergarten analysis u r making.
mansakhalifa: @Op This should help you: Below are the first 7 African States to become independent entities. I did not include Ethiopia for very obvious reasons: 1)LIBERIA-1847 2)EGYPT-1922 3)S.A.-1931(Republic 1961) 4)LIBYA-1951(Dec 31) 5)TUNISIA-1956 6)MOROCCO-1956 7)SUDAN-1956 GHANA-1957(they clearly ain't the "first" as you can see. Very far from it) This is off the top of my head people. Feel free to agree or disagree with the list.
You are full of ignorance. Ghana was the first in the sub Sahara of Africa to gain independence. Egypt, Libya,Tunisia, Sudan ,Morocco are not sub Saharan countries. S.A got their true independence in the 1980's . Liberia was not a colony/country so how did they get independence? Which year was Liberia colonized? You better go away with your bogus analysis
Iloveafrica: Nigerian Army has been training since I was a kid but Nigeria has never had any war. Why can't they just organise a friendly match with Iran, syria or Afghanistan?

shervydman: hahaha...........they wasted their bundles too; buddy. ok, don't bother.. but, its alright.
We have free wifi in every tertiary and secondary school in Ghana but I don't see the need to waste my time on that. You can go back and check on my previous posts. I've posted them already and no Kenyan city is a match for any city in Ghana
shervydman: Kenya have nakiru ,el-doret, kishimu, mombasa talk less of Nairobi......I've got to know all these places here, u can learn from them too and vice-versa.
They deceived you with fake pictures . Even their nairobi is rounded by massive thick slums
Fyi, only 50% of Kenyan urban dwellers live in slums, with roughly the same percentage in Nairobi.
Let us not start comparing Ghanaian cities with Kenya' s cos boss, u will flee! U got no cities over there in Ghana.
What is this thing saying? Comparing slummish Kenyan cities to organized Ghanaian cities? Hahahaha The university of Ghana campus is even far developed than your slummish mombasa or whatever.
Infrastructural Development Index kenya doesn't even come near Ghana let alone to compare.
We've got no cities but we've hosted Afcon 4 times. How come? You are too ignorant so shut up there.
What cities do you guys have in kenya?
I can give you real pictures of Ghanaian cities not the ones you see on the Internet.
You are so funny. Imagine a Kenyan trying to argue with a Ghanaian. Hahahaha
TayserMahiri: Just post all of Ghana's photos even if it means going to your national archives! Once we start posting Kenyan ones you will start crying foul like your naija sisters
You sound so funny. About 90% of kenya is slummish in nature. You will be only posting pictures of your capital city so shut up. Even most of you are living in forests and caves.
