Goatsweg:It was a good idea except for the slave trade.We need to be re-colonized because we did not learn anything from our imperialist about administration or governance. |

The major colonial powers were the British, French, Spanish and Portuguese while germans played a minor colonial role. The Portuguese were the best, they were mostly interested in trade and business, the British and French were interested in slavery although the British were better than the French. English people educated most Africans but their French counterparts were the worst of them all. If you go to countries colonized you will see the marks left by them. Brazil is a wonderful country today, coz of Portugal, in fact Portuguese influence still shows in Lagos Nigeria. most of the well to do nations in Africa today are English speaking. The French did not educate the afro francophone nations and left them worse. INDEPENDENCE : Portuguese, gave the nation's they colonized 90% independence, the British 60% as for the French they made the nation's they colonized to feel independent without giving them any independence (independence on paper) most nations like afro Francophone nations like Cameroon, Togo, BENIN, Ivory coast etc can't take solid decisions without consulting their French masters. In fact France dictates the pace of their economies, and controls their common currency the CEFA. Visit these nations and you will see that France was and is the worst thing to happen to Africa. Yet afro Franco nations discriminate against English speaking countries. WHAT A SHAME. 1 Like |
