NarcissistKing:
Many of these folks are not intelligent enough to know when to capitalize on things.

Rydermaverick:
Exactly and that's giving them problems in thinking straight...when are people gonna wise up?

NarcissistKing:
They can't.

Rydermaverick:
Let's keep our hopes high for them..

engrchykae:
they are just resilient in wickedness.
When they had the guns and we had bow and arrow,they didn't remember human rights,they enslaved us.
When the Felix eboues of this world led slave revolutions in Haiti and Jamaica,the west feared that it could happen in the heart of the West,they immediately remembered human right and stopped slavery resorting to machines.
When are they going to stop neo colonialism?
When are they going to stop assassinations of good leaders and installing idiots in developing countries?

sharpwriter:
Lol... So india to you is a developed country or have it better now after British influence?

Go to the records and research, they were better before the cursed hands of the British interfered in their lives.

Also unlike Nigeria, India had a stronger foundation for a national consciousness due to the existence of a common civilization that had forged prior to its colonization.

GO RESEARCH!

One of the victory against someone like you in Africa is to make you hate yourself and your own. But note, no matter how much you love them, you will never be them or appear like them.

USA: go and get educated. The USA you see today, is it being owned by the original people of the land? Where are the American Indians? (native Americans).

When last did anyone of them become the president of the United States?

The British weren't the only colonial masters. The Europeans invaded the North American land and eliminated most of the people there and made the place their home.

There were colonies and governments before the American revolution came, afterwards the American Civil War. They are different.

You have no point using USA as a case study. It is now a land occupied by various families of Europeans but with a COMMON LANGUAGE (English). They are all same colonial masters looking for expansion and places to plunder.

Now, if trans Atlantic slave trade has been eliminated since 1808,why was there still discrimination till they fought war in the 1860's just for the sake of true freedom especially for the blacks?

Down the century and years from that 1860's a black man can't even marry a white woman until around 1967 despite the supposed "freedom".

And till now, you are not blind and deaf to see and hear in the news how some blacks are being killed disciminately for petty or no offense when compared to a Caucasian who did same thing and they are spared by the law.

My point is that the hatred still subtly exists. Australia today have been occupied by these same people and most of their aborigines killed who are dark also in complexion, but you won't also see that.

We can criticize Black Lives Matter movement but they are real and they know what they are saying.

Vietnam : very limited tribes, plus the fact that they ethnically speak the Vietnamese language at least 90% of them. Rest are foreigners and minorities. And they don't have any tribe supported by the British to Lord over others so they don't grow.

Go listen to Bob Marley Buffalo soldiers and get the lyrics. Research on how these Africans fought for survival in a Strange land and how they sustained their religion and roots by deceiving the Europeans

This is brilliance!

Yoruba for example wasn't always like this, despite the wars here, they had dignity, love for life and others, had strict laws against evil and there were little or no thefts and poverty.

Even the Benin land was called a rich country, and so many other African nations like that. If South African people didn't fight ferociously for control of their land, they would have turned the place to another Australia.

At least if I can't even speak for other blacks, I can speak for my Yoruba land.


Finally go and research on this memoir :

Seventeen years in the Yoruba country : memorials of Anna Hinderer


Anna above is the wife of a missionary who recorded her experience in Yoruba land, note that she called it Yoruba country.

But others like you and some blind ignorant ones won't see or acknowledge this, you only see what the white man have created for you and believe everything is all good,shouting one Nigeria and unity of cultures.

Jokes and jokers!

NarcissistKing:
No. We should hope they don't breed kids of same mentality.

Rydermaverick:
Swears man imagine the way they are blaming white for their misfortune..

NarcissistKing:
They're just addicted to poverty and failure. They should focus their energy and anger on the corrupt leaders that keeps coming every 4 years to decieve them. These leaders will blame the past administration throughout the whole 4 years without doing anything worthwhile.

Rydermaverick:
Exactly but na white man Dem carry for head like say na only we Dem enslave then..

NarcissistKing:


They should keep wailing.

mysticwarrior:
why you feel say that man go contact you? Because you fit be EFCC.

christistruth01:
Yoruba always had those they considered to be disrespectful White Officers removed and replaced including Governor General Glover go and reread your history again

mayorkun101:
In what year boss ?? He was Lagos governor general, that's in late 1800s. This picture should be around that time and during that time we were still being bitterly oppressed. Where the picture was taking is far from Lagos, it could be anywhere in the many rural parts of Nigeria at the time.

Rydermaverick:
Is India not more developed than Nigeria?you asked for a country "with different cultures, languages and governmental system that were merged together by the British the way it was done in Africa especially in Nigeria" and I gave you one.. you are trying to shift the topic..
This wannabe educationalist didn't even answer my question.. you keep throwing loopholes for me to exploit..sorry but you ain't getting no where..
The topic was about "the maltreatment of Africans"in case you are lost..all I needed from you was to give me an accurate answer..were Africans the only ones exploited and maltreated by the white?..

christistruth01:
The Picture was of an actor in a US movie set

Haven't you heard ?

https://www.nairaland.com/5716052/precolonial-slave-trade-igbos-picture

sharpwriter:
Answer to your question: No

And then you have no loopholes to exploit. How many facts, figures and valid explanations did you make according to history?

All you did was rant and blame your own people alone while excusing the damage of your white masters like it was nothing and like it had no impact on the psyche of Africans.

While it is true that some other continents were colonized, you classified every one under the same umbrella and factors as if the damages were uniformly measured.

Now answer me too, in which continent was the damage of colonialism, slave trade and inhumane treatment most felt?

SmartGadgetz:
It's true.
But anyhow it is, people are getting wiser each day.
Like I said before those global influencing instruments I mentioned above are unstoppable forces that will always explode their bubbles.

Kennyking1234:
I love your idealogy, sir. Your thoughts are too complex for the modern-day African to understand.

Rydermaverick:
So you are saying Nigeria is more developed than India?
Secondly the south Asia was also affected..they were all affected by Colonial masters..
Haven't answered my question:"were Africans the only ones maltreated by Colonial masters

sunnx:
Please teach me on how to scam them too

sharpwriter:
Many things are enough to hate whites oga. This is just a speck, a child's play compared to their atrocities.

I did a research on this one, it is a picture of an actor but of course portraying the past. Those blacks their are Azande people of Congo DR.

That the picture is fiction doesn't negate the fact that the pictures and worse ones were true.

See what King Leopold 2 of Belgium did to these same Congo dr people. It was said that he executed 8 million Congolese. But the link I found here shows that the death toll ranges from 1 to 15 million.

Millions not thousands, no be moimoi. And to think that children, teenagers were punished through amputation of their hands for failing to meet work and gathering targets on rubber plantation is the height of criminality, barbarism and evil.

Today, they don't take you by force again, you go willingly to them, after all, wisdom is greater than power. There are models on ground already by which this place remains under developed; one of it is by buying your leaders.

They buy your evil selfish leaders, this place remains under-developed, they enjoy the money looted to their banks, they gain via common wealth, their land remains beautiful while here is sh! t hole, you see the place beautiful, you run there willingly for better life.

You bear children there and won't come back to the sh! t hole , they lose their identities like the slaves of old that were forcefully taken. Culture gone, language also gone totally or potency reduced. Same thing, different model.

But a greater one is by religion (don't get me wrong, I still claim Christianity) but I can see through the guile.

The religion (Abrahamic) takes away your inherited powers and spiritual strength from you, you become weak to fight your enemies and our own evil leaders. After all, forgive your enemies because vengeance is of the Lord, however not in present day Israel or ancient Israel anyway

See what is happening to Yorubas and Igbos. It's because of decline in inherited and cultural spiritual powers, a disengagement from the roots. Most men weak, not manly again.

Yorubas a tribe of great warriors and great things are now being called cowards, we accept the bvllsh! t of corrupt selfish leaders, we can't confront them, corruption overran the lands and became more powerful by giving power to evil leaders.

Fulanis that ibadan warriors defeated in 1840 are now on rampage on the Land etc.

But would this happen in the days of our fathers, not even in late 1800's

Even the Agbekoya farmers of 1958 faced the government squarely and bravely and were triumphant till they used wisdom to capture their leader (wisdom na power ).

But what am I saying, the major bvllsh!ts on our land even with foreign diseases and crimes got here because of the whites and their GREED.

It's easy to say wave it off, but you can't know the meaning of what happened to those slaves until you witness an example. They are humans and they had families before they were separated from them forever, tortured, thrown in the sea, put in human crates, mouth padlocked, whipped, executed, raped etc.

Cc: kettykin I just want you to see this.

sharpwriter:
Very funny. It is clear that I'm done with India and I got you explanations above. Don't put words in my mouth.

No one said Nigeria is more developed than there. Nigerians go there while Indians also come here to work as well. And even then, not many Nigerians will jump at an offer to be on the next available flight to India! Never!

And the answer to your question was my first sentence, so go back and read, open your eyes to see well.

I didn't run away from that and I gave you explanations why you can't judge Africans just because they were colonized like others who are seemingly progressing.

I also asked you a question in my former post, do well to answer it also.

FantasyHub:
What the F... is happening to yorubas and Igbos ?

Everyone is 'enjoying' d benefits of the decisions their fathers took in d past.

Igbo man's father rejected the white man and his indirect rule from the word go. Ur father accepted the white man and his indirect rule from the word go.

If u r not proud of ur father's decisions in d past, discuss it but don't ever try to interweave Igbos and yorubas in this context.
Every book I read said the white man's indirect rule failed WOEFULLY in Igboland.
Igbo man saw the mischief and wickedness in britain from day one.

Rydermaverick:
Asia was also affected by colonialism..stop making it seem like we are different..or blame that for the backwardness in Africa..

Ifeoluwav:
The Africans love their white masters so much that they can't let go. It is mostly futile explaining their true nature to them even with proof. This is also as a result of centuries of miseducattions, manipulations and lies. Until the Africans read their history.

sharpwriter:
At what rate? At the rate at which Africa was battered or what? Last I checked, British imperialism never politically took hold in mainland China, so it is different.

They gained little territory especially for trade sake and the opium sale (an addictive drug). Many Chinese heroes fought against this.

In Japan, Caucasians had no ground there, Japanese themselves were colonizers with their rule not similar to the ground and number of years British gained in Africa with inhumane Wickedness.

Koreans were not fully British properties, they only gained extraterritorial rights from 1883 to 1910. Koreans were more of Japanese subjects, but did this majorly affect their culture and language?

Last I checked Koreans still speak Korea as official language and weren't ferried away in ships with crates like bottles like in the slave trade.

So how is it not different from the one in Africa?

What of Singapore and Malaysia, you want to equate theirs to the kinda sufferings Africans suffered?

With all the slave trades, have you ever seen a free country or island in other continents chiefly occupied by Asians or other colonized races like we have Africans in the caribbean (Haiti, Jamaica, Dominica rep and co) ?

It points to the fact that Africans suffered the most casualty in slavery and colonialism and they fought back to claim some of the strange lands they found themselves in.

Just point to a similar island or territory occupied chiefly by Asians (Indians or Chinese or whatever) who revolted to make their own government in a strange land.

It is only the blacks that have it due to the high population of black slaves seized and numbers of years spent in slavery before they summoned courage to revolt.

And you're telling the world that experiences of Africans aren't different from that of the Asians.

I have asked a second question now (in the 8th paragraph ) , and I would also like answers to the former one and this.
