It was more than a country at that time my friend. It was an empire. I stretched from Britain as a colony all the way to Judea in the Middle East.

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.
You jumped into a discussion you didn't have an idea about my own point. The fact remains that Liberia is an American established country.

Having humans in a place doesn't automatically make it a country. There were humans in Africa before the Balfour. But they never were a country. Which type of school did you attend, please? Palestinian? grin grin

The population in that area during the time when the Brits owned the place was about 60% Jews, 20% Arabs, and 20% (who left and joined Jordan) North Africans (who remained and called themselves palestinians grin grin).

What makes a country is a border, a government, and a people. The population there was not a country until the Jews fought the Brits for independence, and therefore, a border was created, and after then, a government was set. A new country that has been giving ixsxlxmist wotowoto.

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

There is no inferiority complex in accepting truths of nature.
This isn't about intelligence or brillaincy. It is way more deeper than that. grin
Africans have got top talents, way high there. So understand the point being made.

The African problem isn't lack of talent, it isnt lack of bright minds, it is way much deeper.
I wouldn't bother to try to explain it to you, since u believe accepting/saying we have a problem is inferiority complex grin

All breeds of animals and plants are not the same. They have varying traits that set them apart from one another. And some of the traits of the black race will forever make it difficult for it to lead other races.
This is not inferiority complex, it is simply BLACK and WHITE truth. You can argue all u want, it won't change it.
It doesn't mean I am not proud of being BLACK, I am super proud of who I am. Proud of my nation, irrespective of our challenges, cus despite these challenges, we have got several superb traits.

Re: 5 Countries That Were Never Colonised by koladata(m): 9:31am On Oct 21, 2025
My brother, I have fought this severally before I came to this acceptance that the whites are far better breeds of human than the black, don't get me wrong, we have our own quota to contribute as human especially when it comes to the development of the world but the fact still remains the same and It has nothing to with culture, the whites have been adopting black kids since time memoria but nothing changes, raise a black kid and a white kid from the same home , the outcome is still going to be different, the most you will get from the black kid is high grade doctor or engineer but you won't get the Albert Einstein type of brain from the child. It's a nature thing, it's just like comparing "border collie" dogs to "afghan hound" dog, they are both dogs but with different looks and different level of intelligence.

Once in a while we have some black people doing great things but come on, are you saying there are no black Harvard graduates or black MIT students, why is A.I invention still coming from a white man in the twenty first century when slave trade is long gone, why is bill gate a white man, why is telephone invented by alexander graham, why is vint cerf and Bob kahn the inventor of internet , slave trade was over and we already had black people in USA living like normal citizens !!!

Now let's come to south Africa, a black nation. Why is Johannes Henoch Marais the founder of Naspers, why is Christo Wiese and Whitey Basson founder of shoprite, why cant you talk about mtn without talking of christer hohenthal, why is it that all the three founders of Firsrand are white (gt ferreira, laurie dippenaar, and Harris something, i can't remember but i know he's also white) .... and these are the major companies in south Africa o.

You have no idea how much these things have bothered me over the years and i just had to come to the realization of how superior this people are to us particularly when it comes to intelligence and empathy, you can do all you want by contesting everything I've said, but you will just be deceiving yourself like I've done over the years. As a matter of fact, the growth of dangote today is powered by a white skinned colored person working underground but that one is a story for another day. Dangote started out almost the same time mukesh ambani started with almost the same kind of business but go and check what that guy is doing with reliance digital today while dangote is still selling petrol in 2025 when countries are already switching to self-driving electric cars. Because for him, its not about the uplifting of the people, it's about the money (black man).

The bottom line is that you can't solve a problem without knowing the course, grass root and available data. Maybe if newer generations like us who is ready to face the truth is given the opportunity to government, maybe we would make a difference but if we keep deceiving ourselves, we won't make any progress. Nigeria was even better under the colonial masters; how do you explain this to a 7-year-old. If I have access to precedency today, 99 percent of my cabinets will be white people because I know their antecedents and I won't deceive myself by shying away from the fact that my people have a very small brain.

TheBizGenius:
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.

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.

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.

What have you gained from the white man's civilization?
Are people not still dying of diseases?
Has his civilization stopped wars, poverty or violent crimes?
What makes you better than your ancestors, who lived freely without the poison of colonialism?
Just because you are forced to learn your oppressor's language and taught to obey his laws without question does not make you smart or better.

100% true.

I had this convictions severally years ago b4 the Internet and smart phone was born.

Whites are far more intelligent than blacks, it sad but the truth.
Read Charles Murray book, on IQ and the wealth of a nation , then you would understand why Africa and black nations are like this.

Can you list what you have gained from learning the white man's civilization in his schools?
Let's start from there.

I still find people who went to the schools who are still poor, homeless, suffering terminal illnesses and dead. So what changed with all the education the colonialists gave them?

.
Are you correct on this? Yes, you are. Because the data and reality proves so. And I concede this.

Let's talk about the roots. It is extremely difficult to wipe away centuries of a scripting.

Examples?

1. Years of scripting that the whites are better keeps making them better.
Because my dad was a big shot gazillion decades ago, there are very few places I go to and "shake". I rarely get frazzled when meeting so called "movers and shakers" in any industry.

Why?

We call it "old money". It gives you that extra belief that you deserve to be there. And it shows to other old money people. So they trust your motives easier than people who they consider hustlers, in spite of what motivational speakers make them believe.


2. Easier investments. The whites are more open to helping each other.

A white guy has an idea and knows he will get funded like $100k to try it out. And even if he fails, he'll probably get another $100k to try another idea out in 3 years, then he will keep iterating till he gets it right.

With me, my private consulting firm didn't charge clients for the 1st 7 years of me starting out. I had time to read over 4, 000 management and business books. I got so freakishly good at it because I had briefs from every corner I was playing with. How did I survive? You guessed it. It would have been difficult for someone without my background.


3. Competition not complementary relationships.

The blacks, not just Africans, don't have institutional support for each other. We thrive more on outshining each other. I dare you to point out many partnership based businesses in Nigeria or Africa.

The average white person thinks, "I know this, I need to put it in a book for others to also know" while the black person thinks, "I know this, I need to hide it so no other person reaches my level".

Unfortunately, a society and a people ONLY grows by collective thinking.

Take a look at nairaland. No one has thought of using this national platform for crowd funding for small businesses. Instead it is for bashing each other on Obi & Tinubu issues. Pathetic. The whites have Shark Tank and Dragons den.

Summary?
They are not better in the head. Their operational systems are just different. It's like comparing your Camry car to a Porsche. It's the same materials but the system of building them produces wildly different cars.
