Britain are actually saints if you compare them to what Babylon, Rome or Greece did when they were colonists o.

Their empire was a post-enlightenment, post renaissance one. No comparison, no excuse.

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?

Your take is very misguided and you are also deeply misinformed. Aside from the fact that there have been significant contributions in science by black people, the truth nonetheless remains that various factors contribute to the development of civilization, not the least of which are climatic and geographic factors. Also at various points in history you will find that even peoples who are advanced today (e.g: the Brits and Germans) were once very very backward in the face of far more advanced foreigners. When Romans went to Britainnia and Germania, they met nothing but what would be called barbarians. Illiterate and living in small backward villages. This is long AFTER Egypt had already been long gone as a civilization. So there is an ebb and flow to this thing and its not as simple as saying "white men are intelligent and black men are dumb."

I made a few notes on the driving factors here -

If Egypt is not in the list, then tell us who colonized them

koladata:
When I tell people colonization is not the reason why all African countries are poor. The only countries in Africa that are not poor have a mixture of whites. The black nations are poor because our mentality was created poor by God's. We are designed this way. Africans and whites are not the same type of human.

Porksupplyib:
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.

Please wake up from this absurd inferiority complex. Obviously you have a great deal to learn about history.

At different times during their history

Apt.

ednut1:
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

It is still the general language used by imperialist colonialists everywhere they go.

Lol, nah. When did we start. Come on. Are you saying they didnt also say Columbus "discovered" America etc.

first European to discover American, they later found out some Scandinavian Europeans had a settlement there 500 years earlier. We do same in Nigeria, we credit people for establishing a town or village and ignore the indigenous people they met there lol

EvilMerodack:
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

Who colonised Britain and France?

Kushites:
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.

So sickening the level of ignorance by Nigerian youths.

Majority of them cannot name ONE THING invented or innovated by Blacks, from the beginning of history till now.

Yet a simple visit to ChatGPT will reveal thousands of inventions by blacks, from mathematics to iron smelting, and from philosophy to shipping, architecture, medicine, law, and other disciplines.

Do Nigerians know that Egypt was black, and that the Greeks used to travel to Egypt to be taught in schools by black scholars?

Do Nigerians know that just to their north sits the University of Sankore in Mali, established in 864 AD, and still in operation today as the world’s oldest university?

Do Nigerians know that their next door neighbour Sudan, is home to 250+ pyramids and temples older than any building in Europe or America by thousands of years?

Do Nigerians know that Iron Smelting, the technology responsible for every metallic item used today, from spoons to aeroplanes to phones and cars and fridges, was invented in Lejja, near Nsukka?

The world’s oldest smelting site was discovered there and carbon-dated to 2650 BCE, nearly 5,000 years ago.

Without that invention, there would be no modern world today.

How many Nigerians know any of this?

Bunch of ignorant people.

Who Colonised EGYPT........?

Morenikeji090:
It’s a lie…. America give Liberia freedom

U did history at all? Here in Cameroon we're been taught history as a subject from primary 1 till secondary school form 4. You are over there in Nigeria, that ur government ban history to hide the truth from u guys. Here u are arguing with me. What do u knw about ur country that u wanna knw about Africa and the world at large?

Softmirror:
Liberia is a country established by America for dumping slaves back to Africa. It has the hand of America in its creation.

Was it colonised? Or don't u know the meaning of colonization again? U called it territory, were there not people living there? Or now as truimp dey deport people to African countries does that means there are territories and not countries? History has it that the only African countries that were never colonised are Ethiopia and Liberia. We were thought these right from primary school, its just a pity Nigeria don't study history

Morenikeji090:
America liberty Liberia get your facts right…

Do u know the meaning of colonization?

Nwaikpe:
Because it never was a country

Was the land empty before they started dumping slaves in it?

wiseone28:
Japan and Liberia were not colonized

Infact Japan became a colonizer

Liberia is suffering from not being colonised. The country would have been better if it experienced colonialism.

Colonialism laid foundation for many positives than negatives in Africa...The problem was the wrong mindset and indoctrination that affected the Africans whom the colonisers handed over power to.

You said you know history lol.🤣 Next question, why is the Liberia flag similar with the American Flag?!

Well the answer to my first question is attached below.

Na ur type dey fail exams. The topic is talking about colonization, ur talking about naming ceremony. You must first of all understand the meaning of colonization my boy.

You lack comprehension. Point to one place that I wrote that Liberia was colonized. Just one of my comment. Your lack of comprehension is what was stated about the complexity in the history of Liberia as much as Ethiopia. My expression is a fact you haven't been able to prove that it is wrong. LIBERIA IS AN ESTABLISHME OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It is as simple and true as that.

If not for America, the name of that territory won't even be called Liberia. Ethiopia didn't enjoy the same privilege as Liberia, Liberia was regarded as an American colony.

Go to that same google, and type which African countries was never colonised. Screenshot it and drop it here. Wheather their colonization was complex or full with complications. I don't want to know. Screenshot and send it here. Do u knw the Britain soldiers joined allies with the Ethiopian soldiers to chase away the Italian soldiers? What were the Britain doing in Ethiopia at that time? Does that mean Ethiopia was already under indirect rule or the flag of Britain was hoisted in Ethiopia at that time? Ur Nigerian government abolished history from u guys so they will be able to erase the truth and rewrite history to thier taste. Look at what is happening now. Ur military head of state gowon is giving a difference account on the biafrain civil war, obasanjo is also giving a different account too. But over here in Cameroon we know everything about the civil war. Come to Cameroon. We study Cameroon history, African history and world history. From primary school right upto secondary school. We can sell u guys cause u barely don't know ur route. Ur politicians dealt with u guys

Like I said point to just one comment where I said Liberia was colonized. You jumped at the fact that Liberia was an American establishment. You haven't been able to come up with anything contrary.

Im not going to quote u again cause u don't want to learn even for free. Few minutes before now, u were objecting the fact that i said Liberia was not colonised. The point u brought up to back up ur acclaimed fact was who named Liberia.

HenryWilliams:
It's good to go school and learn something.
France waa taken over by the Romsns. Same with England

I just laugh at all of you turning history to its head and equating colonization with European evolution. Roman empire is not Italy o.
We are talking modern history. Colonization in the modern sense.
If u Google if Isreal has been Colonized, u will see a long list of Colonization. But we are talking of Isreal created in 1948.
So are countries like Australia, New Zealand or even south Africa colonized?

EvilMerodack:
Dude,Romans colonized Almighty Britain. Britain colonized the USA
Greece had Rome and other countries under them. Babylon and Persia were once a world power.

The world doesn't revolve around us. These things were perfectly normal and ours wasn't a case of do-om


In 2025, is Greece and Iran better than the UK and USA?


I can correctly guess your tribe by this logic. So negative and soaked in self-loathe

u are just deceiving yourself. Which country is Roman empire? Which country is Britain? State the year the country Roman empire was formed. State the year Britain was formed. And State the years Roman empire colonized Britain

DeOTR:
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?

which country is Roman empire?
