Japan is better than US?
Ethiopia is better than South Africa and Egypt?
Thailand is better than Australia and Canada?
Nepal and Bhutan are better than India and Indonesia?
Thanks for educating him. That guy only wants to talk in order to sound intelligent but the reverse is the case

Our results are different because we are completely different species , dog and lion looks the same with 4 legs , but they are different , africans and the whites are not the same type of human
TheBizGenius:
Heheheheheh. I understand why you would think like this but it's actually not true.

The real issue is that our society values and rewards different elements compared to their own. And as the business/management adage goes, "What gets rewarded gets repeated".

We value small thinking, oppressing your neighbors with small money, relationships without depth, the mysterious that we call "miracles" etc.

They value big thinking, legacy (long term) thinking, crowd funding to help others, clear processes for success, education/constant learning etc.

Our results will surely be different.

Britain and France too were never colonized, were they? Why aren't they on the list?

Those are not the only countries. Right in your neck-of-the-woods in West Africa, Liberia was never colonised and is the oldest republic on the continent.

Nice one for them. No wonder the were better countries comparable to those colonized. Ethiopia has the oldest and biggest carrier in the whole African continent - Ethiopian with many A380 in its fleet.

The unfortunate ones conquered by the western imperialists were simply exploited and treated as their fiefdom vassals with political crisis in their aftermath.
The US was colonized, no wonder the great Ethiopia is much more developed

USA, France and Britain were colonized, how is Nepal a better country than them?


Be like the logic wey Dem dey use for SE dey different from wetin the rest of the world dey use

Ethiopia this and that. You'd never rank them in any aspects above SA, Egypt and Morocco
which country colonized england? Which country colonized France? They are the colonizers. Forget ancient history of wars and invasions, no country colonized France and England.
Even Afghanistan has never been colonized

Read up about liberty area (Liberia) and Siera Leone (Freetown) before making this statement.

While the spineless, treacherous, greedy, and selfish men who ran things in the northern and southern regions fell cheaply to the British invaders.
It's pathetic.
You that didn't fall for the British invaders where are you today?

Your people are scattered all over the earth feeding on crumbs in the regions that allow British invaders to colonise them.

The last time I checked, all Western Europe were under the Roman empire rule. The British Royal family are not originally from England. What exactly are you saying?

Liberia is a country established by America for dumping slaves back to Africa. It has the hand of America in its creation.
colonization is different from having a hnd in liberia. Liberia was never colonized.

Colonialists are nothing pure evil especially that evil country called Britain. The evils they did in Nigeria is not going away anytime soon.
The evil they did to us can not in any way compared to the evil we did to ourselves.

We refused to part ways after they parted ways with us.

The worst evil was done by certain region who ensured we remain together for this long by removing the secession clause for the constitution and introduced a f^cking unitary government.

It doesn't change the fact that it is an American establishment.

Up till today nobody has been able to convince me how Mongo Park discovered River Niger.......These oyibo people nor well walai!





It's just like a stranger telling me he discovered the birthmark in my büm- būm.

Apart from Japan none of those countries is worth much, so, what's the point?
Re: 5 Countries That Were Never Colonised by ednut1(m): 1:24pm On Oct 19, 2025
Ethiopia was colonised by Italy for about 7 years or so

Now it's convenient to call it ancient invasion to suite your narratives. Hey, invasion is invasion!

How do you define "better"? And why not square them up using countries with same population?

But, of course, you have no idea of the damage done to you by colonialism.

have you read his book? He never claimed to discover river Niger. He was the first European to map the river from the source and almost got to the end. He was mapping it for trade purposes. He was killed in bussa ( present day Nigeria ) see map below

🤡 Japan are on 10G technology! You think being better is only about military capabilities? Compare Ethiopia to Nigeria now? Is nigeria not in africa?

If you know how much I am laughing here right now.

But I understand you.

Unfortunately, the whites and blacks are both humans with exactly the same amount of brain cells and capable of doing the same things.

You need to study culture and belief systems to understand how a person's environment determines his or her behaviors and even aspiration levels to understand why the blacks will always be behind...

Again thanks for making me laugh.

You forgot to add that they can instead spend 12 hours straight in social media learning nothing, only engaging in celebrity gossip and all yhst

TheBizGenius:
I keep saying this;

The average Nigerian youth is bereft of logical and critical thinking patterns which used to be common sense 20 years ago.

They stopped "Learning to develop their Minds for the sake of personal growth" and replaced it with "Learning to develop their Work for the sake of earning money".

This not-so-subtle difference makes them shallow on anything that is not directly money related.

Books, libraries, journals or any information medium that takes longer than 5 minutes to consume gets thrown out. Probably why they embrace audiovisual elements a lot.

And it seems to be getting worse.

Heheheheheh.

How people who can't stand 5 minutes of reading can endure 12 hours of scrolling still baffles me. Sincerely. That's a lot of information for any normal human to consume.

But then, I am so not going to join up with you on this issue before they start insulting the 2 of us together.

My hand no dey dia ooo.
