What “self-destruction”?

Were they using nuclear weapons or exchanging intercontinental ballistic missiles?

The British saved nobody. They came to loot our resources.

They employed the same tactics then that they do TODAY.

If they want to target you, they arm and support your neighbour and rival to disturb you, so you come begging them for “protection”, and then they take over and seize your land, and claim you signed it over to them.

They were funding and arming Dahomey etc against Oyo etc, forcing the Alaafin to seek treaties with them.

The very same thing happened in Congo recently where the Congolese signed deals with the US to enable them benefit greatly from Congolese minerals in exchange for US military overseeing peace efforts, being the major supplier of weapons to rebel forces etc.

Same ol’ Same ol’…

And because you don’t study your history, you fall prey to their same tricks generation after generation.

One day you’ll wake up.
the ibadan on their own,launched a campaign of conquest on eastern yorubaland,assisting the nupe raiders to enslave the eastern yorubas.

the the okun appealled to the british for help,likewise the yoruba elders appealled to the british to help rein in ibadan.

the british were called in simple

likewise the igbo elders appealled to the british to help rein in the aro.no one compelled the ibadans or aros to enslave their people.they did it on their own whim

Just like they intervened in Benin and the Aba massacres.

I feel sorry for you though.
my point is, the majority tribes are somewhat sellout

note: the Benin expedition was carried out by mostly foot soldiers comprised of Yoruba and Hausa infantry.

in other words,the majority tribes contrary to the posters disposition actually are comfortable in their cities names being named after British lords cos they became good ally's of the British

They saved who from warfare. How many innocent people did they murder with the Gatlin gun as they sought to forcibly take control of Kingdoms they did not own whilst they revered and protected theirs?
They abolished slavery? After benefiting immensely from it while members of the house of Lords still maintained plantations with slaves after abolition.

How many subsequent destructive wars did they cultivate in Africa when they carved out territories without consulting inhabitants?

Seems you recently got to know the meaning of the word internecine and can't wait to use it in the most subservient manner. Everyone with cheap data can now come online to yap like they lost their ability to reason.
There's documented evidence that shows that the British were called in by the Yoruba elders themselves to intervene in the 16 years Yoruba civil war which was destroying Yoruba people and increased exponentially the number of Yorubas sold as slaves .the war was purely and totally instigated by Ibadan colonial ambition and the eastern Yoruba desire to free itself from Ibadan stranglehold,it had nothing to do with the British but it was the Brit that eventually settled it.

This was also the case with the aro of iboland

This is pure documented facts

And they ended up enslaving/killing millions and shipping them to America to endure the most sub-human form of treatment then proceeded to murder thousands as they fought to exercise control through the Royal Niger Company

The slavery still exists in a different form going by the statement you made. smh
they saved them from internecine warfares in the late 19th century which is after the they abolished slavery which the major tribes were big participants in

Kushites:
The Alafin of Oyo NEVER signed a treaty handing over a SINGLE INCH of Yorubaland to the British.

Not ONE INCH.

Don’t come in here and invent your own history, you British agent.

Alaafin of Oyo did sign treaties with the British, but these were often under duress or framed as "protection" treaties.

These treaties did not represent a free or voluntary "handing over" of Yorubaland, but rather part of Britain’s systematic colonisation strategy across Nigeria.

That “letter” you posted was written under duress by the Alaafin. The British were the ones arming Dahomey to fight him, so he had no choice but to sign “protection treaties” which the British twisted into colonial takeover.
anyhow you frame it,the oyo alafin signed it and never opposed the outcome

the igbos fought the British, eko fought the British, sokoto did (emir was beheaded) , benin were in alliance with Portuguese for 300 years, efiks were in bed with the Portuguese /dutch/british, ijebu fought the British too. Many of the bigger and smaller tribes appealed to the British for help . E.g oyo empire who was facing attacks from the Dahomey in the west, ekiti in the east and ilorin/sokoto in the north 😩. Stop generalizing
Eko did not fight the British, only ijebu did,igbos did not fight the British, only the anioma and aro did,all the coastal tribes traded with the Europeans including ijebu so it makes no difference .

The igbos appealled to the British for help to save them from the aro( their own people), the Yorubas appealled to the British to save them from themselves.

That is what I mean.

No minority except the efiks ever appealled to the British, so they owe no allegiance to the British

PoliticsAfrican Civilisation Was Never Great! We Must Admit by okpouman(op):
Enough of deceiving ourselves

The IFE, Mali, NRI, Benin civilisation were never Great.
It is high time we admit this fact.

The Egyptian civilisation has no relevance to core subsaharan African peoples as there's no subsaharan peoples that can prove that it was connected to it or that properly remembers it.except Ethiopia and Soudan

No African civilisation was great because they lacked these 3 things.

Native writing capacity
Technology
Military might

No African civilisation could rival any foreign society in literacy,technological prowess and military Power.

This is evident in African encounter with Arabs, Whites.

Arab Slavery began when Arab invaders levied the Christian kingdom of Ethiopia for SLAVES in exchange for peace.The Ethiopian civilisation was far weaker than the Arab invaders they had to submit to the Arab demands.

When whites encountered West African blacks,they killed blacks at will,and any black that as much as hurts a whiteman,his whole village will be massacred.there are several examples of it.eg the Calabar massacre. There were several under reported massacres that whites carried out.what actually prevented them getting foothold in West Africa was not the African kingdoms but disease- malaria.

The whites had guns- military might.

One thing you can't take away from the black civilisations is that they mastered their environment excellently which today's blacks aren't doing.
The Sahara desert also prevented cultural and technological exchange which would have enabled the black civilisations to acquire skills and knowledge for technology and military power.

They had great arts which is a testimony to their environmental mastery.

Most of Europe only became something in the last 300 years.England conquered the world only in the last 300years for much of their history they were not outstanding,they could hardly sail ships.

African knowledge was proudly native for most of its history, if they had more foreign knowledge exchange Africa would have turn out different.

AFRICA still hasn't changed much in 2025 in relation to the world,it still lacks technological and military might.

Until blackmen give priority to this remaining two technology and military has they've relatively done well in writing and reading.

The babyboomer generation failed in that aspect,it's time for millenials to understand and do the right thing and stop following these stupid old men to destruction of the BLACK race,the GENERATION before this babyboomer generation of destroyers were far better,this babyboomer generation are not role models it's time millenials and gen z understand this and do the right thing.

Africa will continue to be the doormat of the WORLD if they don't embrace technology and military might as state policy not on individual bases.Technology and military are twin universal spiritual systems.

State policy of religionism, trade,foreign investment ,creativity will only keep Africa has the slave territory it has always been.( that is what Africans have always practiced,the results? Being the doormat of the world.

The world rests on technology and military power.

Africa has a matter of priority and urgency make technological prowess and military power state policy the younger generation especially of Nigeria must know this.

Women empowerment ,japa,religious fervency,NGO ,music ,movies,population boom, foreign investment will take the BLACK race nowhere,as it is Nigeria will never be a great country because all these listed are Nigerias state policy.

I can't come up with anything outside religion that a Nigerian man has built, that has been done wholely without the input of a whiteman.

Maybe you attend different school that the basic economic principle you learned is different from what Prof. Soludo and Ngozi Okonjo Iweala learnt.

It is a shame for many like you to use the viewpoint of a market women to judge economic progress of a country where we have the real economist who has given nod to the progress made so far.

Why did many of you turned a blind eyes to the mess the government inherited. The national debt, the way and mean the FX backlog and the oil money spent in advance.

How best anyone could have manage the economy with these factors?

How would government have sustained subsidy with those cumulative negatives.?

It is only a dull mind that would criticize the government in economic decisions taken so far.
Mess of a government brought in by TINUBU and supported by TINUBU to death.
