Colonization, extension of political and economic controls over an area by a state whose nationals have occupied the area and usually possesses organizational or technological superiority over the native population. It may consist simply in a migration of nationals to the territory, or it may be the formal assumption of control over the territory by military or civil representatives of the dominant power.
The bible and guns were there most effective tools that were used to colonize Africa, but the most dangerous tool out of the two was the bible.Guns were used to kill and take our land and livestock by force, but the worst was when they used the bible to demonize everything that was African .The bible was used to destroy all our African cultures and traditions. When a man has lost his culture he is as good as dead. They were using the bible in order for our people to forget about what was taken from them, and be at peace though owning nothing as they were promised a better life in heaven. Our people were made to be better slaves using the bible as there is a stupid verse like the one that says ‘’slaves submit to your masters as if is to the Lord himself’’ .They were told that if they don’t obey and love their enemies as themselves,God will put them to hell and that was nonsense, there is no one who will ever be taken to hell. Europeans themselves who are the ones who came with the bible are not committed to follow the bible as they know that the bible was just an instrument for colonizing Africans and other nations. Africans today are the ones who are crazy preaching the gospel, attending churches and building church buildings,while Europeans are making money building shopping complex, office blocks and residential complexes for the poor church goers(who are looking forward to go to heaven one day or after they have died) to came and look for employment. When Africans see a vacant land they think of building a church or erecting a tent to revive colonization, they have forgotten that land is for producing food and keeping your livestock they are indeed brainwashed by Europeans.
Europeans gave us Christianity like a mother who gave a toy to his baby for the baby not to disturb her while doing serious business, to us this Christianity is a toy so that we cannot disturb them while making money out of our wealthy. Today it’s like the Africans are the ones who came with the bible and they can defend it to a point of death, yet they don’t even know the reality about the bible. Once you have studied the bible you will feel ashamed to call it the word of God as it is the word of man. By saying the bible is the word of God that means you have not studied the bible and you are insulting God. Most wars,raping,cruelity,killing of innocent lives has happened in the name of the bible, that means the bible has brought sorrow,pain,suffering,poverty and oppression in the world. Through colonization we lost political power, our laws, culture,land,education,language,healthy,mental health and wealthy. Through guns our fathers were killed and land was taken from them. But through the bible they lost their pride,culture,education,healthy,mentality,values and laws. It is unfortunately that even now though we claim that we are no longer colonies but we are still colonized in every way. We are trying very hard to change Africa to be Europe. I will mentioned several things that shows that we are still colonized (THIS ARE THE FACTORS OF COLONIZATION).
Ø Our languages are considered as second language
Ø European Education
Ø European Religion
Ø European Marriages
Ø European Funerals
Ø European Medication
Ø European Dress code
Ø European Food
Ø African cultures are still inferior
Ø European economic style
Ø Everything is written in European Languages
Ø European constitutions
Ø Land still owned by Colonial Powers
Ø European financial Systems
Ø European Holidays
Ø European Calendar
Ø African Holidays are inferior
Ø European values
Ø Wealthy is still in the Colonial powers
This above mentioned shows that we are still colonized ,like during the time of colonial powers. After they have destroyed everything about us they then decided to give us only political power. POLITICAL POWER WITHOUT ECONOMICAL POWER IS LIKE A CAR WITHOUT AN ENGINE,ITS USELESS)even after the so called freedom most things remain the same except a right of voting after five years. They use their economic powers to control every aspects of our lives. African countries were not given that so called independence at a same year, even those who were colonized by the same colonial power. The reason for that was that every country was receiving the so called independence after they have achieve their colonization goal and they are sure that they will maintain their supremacy on that country and everything was already in place to continue rule that country even if they are far away. They were transforming everything about a country by even sending our leaders to their schools to learn European ways of leadership ,also send other people to bible school for them to continue spreading that European poison even if they are not there anymore, they will just come to monitor if everything is still in place. In most African countries European languages are considered first languages and African languages are second, if you fail European languages you won’t be allowed to further your education.Unless all that is mentioned above is restored to Africans, that will mean we still need liberation from colonial masters. It is surprising today to see how much Africans are crazy about Christianity, yet Christianity was not good news in African but the most dangerous poison that was used to destroy Africa, how can people who were killing our forefathers, raping our sisters and mothers, taking our land, livestock and selling them as slaves bring us good news?. Our cultures were destroyed using the bible calling every thing for Africans as paganism and what belong them as holy. They came with photos that shows that God is white and the Devil is black and all the people of the bible are white and that is lies I will prove that later(AFRICA YOU ARE OWN YOUR OWN)Awake Africa look everyone is coming to you just to colonize you through their religion. Some of our black people they don’t see life possible without a white man yet before Europeans came there was no poverty in Africa,Africans were prosperious.EVERYTHING ABOUT AFRICA IS STILL COLONISED EG,LANGUAGE,ECONOMY,MINERALS,NATURE,CULTURE,FOOD,WATER,LAND,WILD ANIMALS,DOMESTIC ANIMALS,TREES,DRESS CODE,CONSTITUTIONS,CALENDAR,HOLIDAYS,EDUCATION,RELIGION,MARRIAGE,FUNERALS,MEDICATIONS AND FINANCIAL SYSTEMS. |
