Even though colonialism was abusive towards Africans,how would some of you respond to those who say that colonialism did modernize the continent? Europeans introduced things like medical and technological advancements. They brought infrastructure that much of the continent lacked. They expanded literacy in many parts of the continent. Many Africans relied on griots to memorize info. So do any of you acknowledge these advancements Europeans brought even though they came with colonialism?
I think its because in some ways they realise why the infastructure and education was there. Not nescesarily to make more educated people in general but to make a possible workforce know what to do with new things and the infastructure to help move the resources we were taking. Yes some of them are still benificial in the effects today but you have got to remember why we did (in some cases) so much to 'help'.
CrowdPleeza we acknowledge all these infrastructures which served as a benefit as a result of colonialism. What I think Africans need right now is to decolonise our brain. I think much education should be done in our societies to help ourselves out of that colonization mentality
@@mksharesbucketlist What does that mean to "decolonise African brains"? Does that mean Africans should abandon everything in Africa that was introduced by Europeans? I think it's more that Africans need to weed out the bad things introduced by Europeans and keep the useful/productive things.
I think its important to have an intensive study of what the African systems and cultures did for their people. to praise the medical advancements from colonial power I feel takes away from what africans did for themselves medically, Dr Lwazi Lutshaba speaks on the holistic approach to health from an African perspective and how it was derailed by the western medical system. personally any one who would tell me to be grateful for what colonialism did for the advancement of African societies I beg to differ. I speak only seeking to understand not attack, thhankyou for your comment
reffering to the end of the discussion: seems to me someone didnt do his homework enough ... Dr Agbor better go back to pre-colonialism times and how africans were already big time in prgress of trading and so forth .. all this without any so called positive colonialism effects All it has ever brought is the downfall of Africa and her ppl ...
Africans already had big time trading, selling their neighbors to Arabs and Europeans as slaves? "....without any so called positive colonialism effects" ...like electricity and the internet? Your access to the internet has brought about your downfall?
It would help if we could get a current map of the countries in Africa that are still occupied by peoples other than Africans either physically or economically. Also a delieniation of who's raping the resources. Many people in the States think that because countries got their independence that means that Africans are free. I googled this topic today and only got those 1900 maps.
"raping the resources." You think it'd be better to leave the gold of South Africa miles deep into the Earth? Either you're saying you don't want the resources extracted at all ...or ...you want the West or China to invest in the infrastructure and just hand over to Africans those minerals, etc. ....Which is it?
This an insightful conversation, I am interested in the question of giving praise to any system that was introduced by colonialism. In the evolution of man and his society, is it not possible that Africans could have reached such advancements on their own strides, even with a healthy relationship of exchange with the colonisers? I feel like you are saying that colonialism is bad, but at least it brought advancements in the fields of infrastructure, medicine and the sciences.
youre talking about what happened, explaining what was done, thats not what we are looking for. you said education is the solution to the problems. am not trying to be like most Africans because we like attacking each other alot and we never appreciate our brothers efforts. i appreciate your work and progress so far, but i would urge to look much into current issues, like the USA's effects to Africa and the world and the main function ot the IMF and the world Bank which are intead of lening money to African and other developing countries, sucking money and resources from them..your points dont explain much about neo colonialism
Sorry am not stable on RUclips but l we want to open up a bet pressure face African mostly well educated people from Africa work abroad But are not achieve in Africa on technology question on my brain is education is the problem in Africa how about thouse who works in abroad and urop because if education is the key on technolog mince this professor we have in Africa we g Could achieve same thing That why am say no short educated people ln Africa Case of Africa is to help this yang gemaretion sayantist but with the cicreat nigesheting

@@CrowdPleeza that is what other colonized countries have done including uk which was colonized by the Romans for 400+ years.
Wow🤯🤯
African countries are not free. France might have been less subtle. This includes South Africa.

What wrong with you people?
But i think nationalism is also lacking in the Anglo ones its just that its perhaps less
It more nationalism for their individual tribes
