anonymous6: Actually I disagree, if the colonizers had stayed longer they would have found out about our precious resource(oil) and the country would have turned into another South Africa or Brazil where the blacks will be second class citizens because for sure the British wouldn't have left but that doesn't mean Nigeria is paradise though. When it comes to what my parents told me about Nigeria, is that it was doing good for a while after independence, that the naira was equal to the dollar then, especially when Murtala Mohammed was around but once illiterates like Abacha and all those other clowns got into office things changed. SO I wouldn't sell Nigeria short there were some good leaders in the beginning but they were either assassinated or removed from power, and that's when we saw the downhill.

being black in Brazil is hell of a lot better then being black in America

anonymous6: Why isn't south America completely Yellow, almost the whole continent was colonized by Spain, and Brazil colonized by Portugal, don't know why they colored it grey, any way good map

it is a map of 1914 most of south america got independence in the 1800's. Suriname got independence in the 1970's and Guyana got it in 1960's and French Guiana is still part of france

honeric01: And during these period, Africa was civilized and no one killed or oppressed anyone?

When i ask questions, you guys run away from it.. i am asking again, Did Jesus in anyway or anyplace ask anyone to oppress or kill anyone to have them converted?

I don't want to bother quoting the bible because you people won't understand nor respect it, so why bothered?

So i am asking you guys to show me where Jesus instructed anyone to do any of the things you accuse Christianity of.

Africans are not one people different cultures = difference societies and it depends on what you mean civilized if this is uncivilized then you got problems

honeric01: Oh i should have known that I'm dealing with a cartoon baby daddy. thank you for saving my time lol.

im pretty sure you can find somebody in Greek and Roman myths that has similar things that Jesus or the bible in general

honeric01: Christianity DIDN'T tell people to fight for it, none of the disciples of Jesus fought because of Christianity, either did Jesus the founder fight for Christianity, rather he laid down his life for this without a fight.

What you're mixing up is TRYING TO BLAME PEOPLE'S DECISION to use "religion" as a tool to fight for their selfish reason on Christianity. Now, i ask you lot again, where in the teachings, spoken words or recorded history of Jesus did he support or ask anyone to fight or oppress anyone for Christianity sake?

A kitchen knife was produced to serve positive purposes in the kitchen, when it's used by anyone to kill or oppress someone else, do we blame the knife or the user?

Jesus did not exist in Nigeria(90% of Africa) until like the 1500's

This is a non-sequitur. People blame White people for Africa's troubles because they colonized Africa, destroyed many of their kingdoms, exploited them for their resources, subjugated the locals, incited ethnic warring, among many other things. White people didn't invent Black slavery, but they did practice an alien brand of slavery known as chattel slavery. Africans never did this to each other traditionally.

They definitely did not treat slaves as inferior beings or less than human. They did not Molestation the mothers of their slaves. They did not chop off their hands, or hang them or whip them senselessly, or any of the other myriad of inhumane acts that Europeans enacted on Africans.

There is simply no logical way you can ever equate the level of barbarism Europeans inflicted on Africans with any so called “African” form of traditional slavery.

africa was not the only place taking over,

This map of the world in 1914 shows the large colonial empires that powerful nations established across the globe

honeric01: Prior to the advent of Christianity, was the world devoid of wars and oppression?

Christianity caused a lot of wars and oppression an war will always be here no god can stop that as long as humanity has something to fight about. hell even gods fought each other

fun fact the first people to come to Madagascar were Austronesian

MoAfrica: Hehehe, Only in Africa...

"voodoo" aka Vodun is not "evil"

PhysicsQED: lol, I think you and Ms Darkskin should be required to put a disclaimer on your posts or the topics you start stressing that you're not Nigerian or West African. Just so people don't get the wrong idea.

what wrong idea

The Language they speak is Amharic which is official in Ethiopia

Jayloy: Islam at it again, God pls save us oo from this religion of cruelty and backwardness.
They should have banished everything that has to do with innovations since their religion oppose it. HYPOCRITE.

your god is from europe

they are not "black" Africans people they are "Australoid"

MsDarkSkin: Not that either.

then anti science

justwise: Of course Nigerians are racist to other race i.e the west/Europeans, not only in this thread have they openly expressed it, check any other thread to has to do with the West or Europeans and see some nasty hateful comments, but the same Nigerians will be quick to point finger at 'oyibo' people for hating blacks. You can't have it both ways, so yes if you want to list the names of racist countries then Nigeria has to be in that list.

no body likes the west for justified(more or less) reasons

u made 2

MsDarkSkin: speak for yourself.

you must be one of those Christians
