Racoon: Kingosytex:Being colonised or not has very little to do with the trajectory of a Nation or people in terms of National development abd advancement in the next 30/50 year projection. Nepal wasn’t colonised I'm surprised but yet is struggling. Egypt was colonised and is doing very well probably better than Ethiopia. It is what u do at every given point in time when or after responsibility has been given or passed onto u for ur own governance and independence. Some colonised Nations are better for it I might say. Dubai was a British protectorate until 1971. Nigeria got independence in 1960. Japan who was never colonised but yet colonised others. |

It is a fact! ![]() Until superior fact shows it face in future.. it will continue to be. ![]() |

koladata:You are unfortunately very correct. I have always preached this gospel. We are same species HUMAN, but not the same breed. And with breeds we have differences. Starting with Morphological differnces (physical), behavioural, and so on. The way the black breed of human reason is way different from the way the whites do. These differences set them clearly apart. You can't fight this, you just have to accept it as it is. |

Science told us what we wanted to hear with all the "amount of brain cells" thing... it's all lies, they had initially told us the truth by comparing us to apes and monkeys, but we contested it. How do you explain that president of the largest producer of oil in African goes to France for medication because he couldn't build a world class standard 20 bed capacity hospital that could be built with less than 15 billion naira, but a militant just donated 10billion naira at an event. He's not even the only Nigerian president who travels to another continent for medications, are you saying from 1960 all the presidents are not intelligent to do this simple math. Are you saying the over 50 African presidents can't add 1 plus 2. Check the lives of black Americans who have equal right to the whites after the slave trade ended, what have they done with their lives aside athletes and music which is less than 1 percent of their entire population. Which of them created vaccination, airplane , computer ,electricity ,internet ,printing, A.I okay oya , how do you explain that our forefathers sold us for a cup of tea and mirrors, does that not sound like what a monkey would do?

There’s no country that wasn’t colonized in Africa, some were just for longer periods than others. Ethiopia was actually colonized twice, first by the Arabs, the only reason the Italians didn’t stay long there was because the Arabs were there. |

shortgun:It was already too late. You want to eat your akara and still have it? Not possible bro. Your fore fathers created a bottle neck for any region that wants to separate and when the system started failing them, they now wanted to separate. Not possible bro. Not possible! |

Godfullsam:You guys are hilarious. Nigeria was barely six years old when the Eastern Region saw the hatred, lies and betrayal staring it in the face and decided to go its own way. Six years is good enough for anyone to realize a doomed project and walk out. BTW, the Easterners never removed any secession clause from any Nigerian constitution, contrary to the nonsense many of you keep spreading here. What happened was that Chief Obafemi Awolowo at the 1957–58 constitutional conferences, argued that a true federation should give any region the right to withdraw only under defined conditions. But the British colonial office strongly opposed including such a clause,Northern leaders Sir Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa and the NPC also strongly rejected it. Nnamdi Azikiwe, representing the Eastern Region, opposed the idea of a secession clause with conditions. Yet today you lots go about misrepresenting facts and distorting history. In the end, the proposal for a secession clause was rejected — the colonial authorities had the final say. No secession clause ever existed in any Nigerian constitution and therefore, none was ever removed. |

ruggedtimi:Correct. Another mistake is Japan...didn't USA colonize Japan after World War 2? I think so, but I might be wrong. Good Luck to Nigeria. |

koladata:Hmmmm. Once again, I accept that your premise for this discussion is very sound especially as you have the practical proofs to buttress your points. I maintain that culture is the problem though. Unfortunately, culture is like climate, which takes a long time, thousands of years, to be established and it takes a whole lot more to be un-established. The culture? The black man thinks he is inferior to the whites. He behaves inferior. He will always be inferior. The hospital issue? The black race subtly, or openly, believes the whites are better in qualitative reasoning. But every scientist knows it's just simple science that anyone can learn and master. The problem I also noticed with the blacks is that it doesn't take a lot for the blacks to feel they have arrived. We seldom try to compete intellectually globally. Kudos to Dangote, Oyedepo, Adeboye; people who have chosen to compete globally rather than stop when they became local champions. |

koladata:You don't read, you don't research, you know NOTHING. Black inventions? THAT COMPUTER YOU'RE USING WAS CO-INVENTED BY A BLACK MAN, MARK DEAN. He owns 3 or 4 of the 9 patents for the invention of the IBM Personal Computer in 1981. They hyped Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, but IGNORED the Black inventor. AS USUAL. The first flying machine was built by a Black man, Charles Page in 1903. White man Thomas Edison supposedly invented the light bulb. But it couldn't work for more than an hour before shutting off. It was a Black man, Lewis Latimer, who invented the FILAMENT you place in the bulb that keeps its light on for months and years. So everytime you switch on your light, you have a BLACK MAN to thank for it. 7 BILLION PEOPLE around the world have a BLACK MAN to thank, for everytime they switch on their light. When a white man supposedly invented the Elevator or Lift, it was a death trap. You would walk up to it and have to open the door yourself. Good luck if you opened and entered when the carriage was on the ground floor. Many fell to their deaths. Until a Black Man, Alexander Miles, invented the Automatic Elevator system, whereby the door only opens automatically once the carriage is on your floor. The TRAFFIC LIGHTS of red, green and yellow the whole world uses today for traffic control, was invented by a Black man. LASER EYE SURGERY was invented by a Black Woman Patricia Rice. REFRIGERATED TRANSPORT which allows for the shipment of frozen foods worldwide, was invented by a Black Man, Garret Morgan. So EVERTIME you buy frozen chicken from Shoprite, you have Black Man to thank for it. Numerous other BLACK INVENTIONS exist which you credit "white people" for. GO ON CHATGPT AND ASK ABOUT BLACK INVENTIONS instead of perpetuating tired anti-black stereotypes taught you by your British invaders. |

Softmirror:They freed slaves sold to them by African Kings and Warlords and resettled them back into their own climes. Then you called it DUMPING slaves back to Africa. You must be America-style Antifa |

Amotolongbo:It is contestable to say that Japan was never colonized because the USA held control over Japan for a time after WW2. AS for the USA itself, it is also contestable to say that it was colonized because what really happened was simply a question of the British in the Americas standing up against the British in the European homeland. One cannot really say that pre-independence America was being colonized in the way that other peoples were colonized, because you are speaking of principally the same people. Likewise there are problems saying that Australia or Canada were colonized. Australia for example was set up as a far off exile settlement for convicts. British convicts. That's not quite colonialism - even though of course as was done to Native Americans in North America, the Aborigenes were decimated and pushed deep into small enclaves. |
