U should remember that the whites too where colonized. The whites there are Dutch, descendants of Dutch settlers, they were colonized by the British. They were at the same level with their fellow black citizens at the time of British colonization. The British killed thousands of white South Africans and put many in concentration camps around South Africa where thousands died too, it was brutal for the Dutch settlers and black people too, but they fought for independence and got it and manage to develop. So there is nothing special about it, they got their in independence like any other African country. The whites there were never colonizer, they were simply Dutch settlers who left Europe to settle in Africa.

If this is true, then you have actually educated me. However, the bone of contention is that "the Blacks and Whites" in South Africa were not forced to stay together. They had common enemy, fought them and agreed to stay together. Can we truly say that for different tribes and ethnicity in Nigeria?
Do Nigerians (the North, South, East, West etc) truly agreed to stay together? If no, don't you think that could be what is making the difference between South Africa and Nigeria?

They dominate the economy only because of the legacy of apartheid, everything can be taken with just a strike of the pen by the black government, but it will affect he economy and it is illegal to forcefully do that in their constitution.

Do you agree that the Whites being the dominant race in the South Africa economy which negates what obtains in other African countries helps their economy and by extension, country?

South Africa is a first world country despite brutal colonization. So what's ur point?

South Africa is a first world country? I am hearing that for the first time. Even at that, the whites dominate South Africa economy. Have u thought about that?

There is no single sense in it. Every country in Africa was created by colonialism, Kanu should stop acting like Nigeria case is different. Please tell me which Biafra existed except the one of 1967 to 1970?

Have u wondered why the 'every country in Africa' doesn't measure up to what could be regarded as a country in the committee of nations?

The way we were before the whiteman came; had the white man not come, I would have no relationship with Sokoto, non whatsoever. The whiteman is not God, only God can create a nation, Lord Luguard is not God, only God can create a nation. I can tell you the day Nigeria was created even till the exact second and hour, but you can’t tell me when Biafra was created. It came as a result of organic interaction of cultures and value systems and traditions fussed into one to make Biafra a possibility, that is how nations emerge. By the collision of commonalities

This is thought-provoking and a masterpiece. Every Nigerian should give this a thought.
