What was the nature of Africa before their arrival

Heya mate your answer is----------------------------------------------------
When Europeans arrived in Africa, like everyone who comes from elsewhere into new terrain they had something to say about the way we lived. To them coming from icy climates which required them to wear clothes, our loinskins, (although we had cotton weavers) grass and thatch huts were a pitiful sight of primitiveness. They found it upon themselves to bring us their three Cs: Commerce, Civilization and Christianity. The first two we had in different forms to the capitalist nations where ‘the men with no knees’ hailed. The last was the most harmful because in the words of Pathisa Nyathi, ‘Christianity is a proselytising religion’, it asks you to denounce who you are and assume a new identity. They baptised us in the name of foreign gods and saints. The way colonisation was branded it posed to the weaker minds, as an elevation to the state mankind existed in then.
The notion that colonisation ‘pimped’ Africa is still in use today. In fact the contrary is true. It reshaped the whole structure of our way of life economically, socially, philosophically and politically and its legacy are the problems of today. We are failing to contend with our realities because the system was designed by the colonial authorities to carpet the black man for the white settler’s elevation. I too often hear the black man speak ill of the fellow black man’s abilities, this black man is an enemy of himself, in denial of his ancestry and heritage. It is to this black man that I dedicate this article, here are some of the things Africa had before colonisation.
