Who told you Europeans brought civilization to Africa? Prior to the invasion (colonialism) of Africa by Europeans, Africa was doing SUPER-GREAT. We were mainly empires. The Kingdom of Mali, The Borno empire, The Oyo empire, the Sokoto caliphate etc. From what I've read, the Borno empire was a really strong Kingdom (militarily, politically & economically) that had strong influences at least across West Africa. Have you ever heard that "AFRICA IS THE HOME OF CIVILIZATION?" You had better believed that. Forget all those European lies about Africans being Unclad when they came. BIG LIES.
Before the Europeans came, We had ships, we had gold, we had infrastructure etc. All these we built by ourselves (without knowing that some other races existed). We built Egypt, Ancient Pharaohs & Egyptians (& indeed all North Africans) were all black Africans until a war with the neighbouring Arabs to the east that led to a defeat & thereby causing these Arabs to take over our lands & it's marvels. Prisoners of wars probably were taken as slaves by the Arabs & they continued to infiltrate North Africa for all the goodies & natives had to keep migrating southward for fear of abduction for slavery.
It was probably this vulnerability that the Europeans (who were already trading with us) capitalized on & started to steal our resources, invade our territories, enslave & colonize us. Don't let anybody deceive you, these people used to look up to us. These people used to come to admire and marvel at our civilization. Many Africans & blacks are ignorant of their history & these people would ensure to the best of their abilities that it stays that way cos they fear that if we know our true history, we would fight for it & dominate the world again & they don't want that. Why do you think they threat blacks harshly all over the world? The truth is that they sub-consciously feel a complex (for those of them that know this history) & they in turn want to play psychological games by making Blacks feel inferior or worthless.
Why do you think the western media hardly has anything good to say about Africa? They keep showing the world that African children die of hunger, malaria, kwashioko, aids etc.... Be honest with yourself, me & you live in Africa.
How many times have you seen those things in real life? (even though they exist.) The plan is to subconsciously make everyone feel sorry for Africans thereby making Ignorant Africans "look up" to them & if you don't follow their dictates, they make you feel like you're unappreciative of their help to have delivered you from a "sub-human" life & they start treating you like trash again. Bob Marley said "If you know your history, you would know where you're coming from." Go listen to BUFFALO SOLDIER by Bob Marley & you'd learn a bit more about what I've just written here. Also go read about ancient Africa & know your history. Cheers.
God Bless Africa. Amen.

Had it been that colonialists are overtly still with us, things could
have been more better than they are today. Guys turn back and see how
the colonialists were serious in planning and implenting what they
meant, with the same scenarios compare with what most of african
leaders are doing. Colonialists were taking our resources for benefits
of their home citizens but african leaders are stealing our resources
and hide them in the banks of colonialists for the benefits of
colonialists and their families not citizens.
