EFFECT OF NEO-COLONIALISM ON NIGERIA AND OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES

Image
Africa, the land of blessed race, where the opportunists came to develop in order to colonize their resources for their good are left in vain hope. Even the religious motives of some were not Gospel but material gains. Africa had suffered so much from the white Generals and ‘missionaries’ because we trusted and relied on their concept of modernization, civilization and development.

Like MJ Demarco talks about in his book The Millionaire Fastlane, once he finally got an ultra-sports car, people assumed all kinds of things about him: “He must have a tiny dick.” “He must be a real asshole.” “He must be compensating for the fact that the rest of his life is total shit.” Think about it. When was the last time we saw someone in a sports car, and didn’t assume anything about them, and just observed?
