This history has never been erased. The records are there, have always been there. It's no one's fault that you have not been researching and reading African history.

@@patrickjohnson4656 👍

@@patrickjohnson4656 that was mean no one person will know everything

@@kanyegang2810 No, it wasn't. If the person had simply said, "I didn't know of this piece of African history", then your claim that my response was mean would have merit. However, the person chose to first tell a lie, insinuating a cover-up of the story! She began by saying in her very first sentence, "Imagine how this story has been erased", which is NOT true. That is why I had to be that blunt in my response.

​@@kanyegang2810You're deluded!

Yes they never included this in our educational system..our wicked leaders

They will make sure to remove it from our text because they are still in control of Togo

How far with the unification?

we can't stand on our own, we are not even united as Africans. If it's not Europe it's China, holding us down...bcoz we allow it.

Ifeco Dimkpa: Africans should learn their history; and take pride in who they are, and move towards self reliance. Africans should learn to do things for themselves.

Start with smaller things, Harmonized African communication language, research and consume your products and more.

Every produce should be exported at premium and lands owed by Africans. Continental mandontary development fund from every minerals exported.

Present day former French colonies are independent only on paper. They are still remotely controlled from Paris.

You do know its those very leaders are the reasons why Africa is in the place its in. Kleptocrats overthrowing kleptocrats since 1960 and using the UK and France (colonialism as a whole) as an excuse to divert the attention away from the fact they are funnelling the taxpayer's money into their swiss bank accounts

Sell outs.How shall we progress if a former colonizer join hands with dissidents and plan coups over and over.

#NoMore

Africans do not realise when an hidden hand is playing behind our backs to make brother kill his brother. This kind of independence was faked on paper.

@@justinamusyoka4986 👍🏽True.

We can do it only by taking responsibility for our own failures, and by learning from other countries, especially Asia. Just look what Japan and Singapore have achieved with no natural resources and bad geography. But it will take a huge cultural shift on our part to do them same.

​@@chendaforest maybe it's the lack of natural resources that saved them. Africa is the richest continent, that's why we have and those problems, even Asians are in Africa now, to get a piece of the cake. Hopefully new generations that have had the chance to go to the sake schools as westerners will take over and do a better job than the like of Houphouet Boigny, Paul Biya, Omar Bongo, all those greedy presidents that worked for westerners.

Thanks

Glad you like them!

Beautiful. Very strange isn’t it?

@@AFRISTORYNETWORK I already do that. You don't accept monetary support? You're putting too much work to make these videos our support is just our appreciation to you.

sure france was to blame but that Nkrumah wasnt innocent in that after all none of the modern european colonial meddling is done with their hands but with middlemen

Glad you enjoyed it

Dude just subscribe it whenever they will upload new video you will be notified 😑

You sound ungrateful for all the videos already posted.

We are working on a podcast that will dive deep into these stories where we shall discuss whatever we missed in the storiesm

@@AFRISTORYNETWORK oh that’s great !

Thank you for appreciating.

It may have bought him some time to come up with a plan. Western involvement/influence in Africa is the common factor in these cases

@@jibrinebang He could have switched loyalty to say America, and thus have one power watching his back.That way,he would have ended up building a new security infrastructure, under bilateral arrangements, that could easily mitigate,against possible French interference, or manipulation.

How can you watch a video without listening? "Togo couldn't afford it". Sylvanus OLYMPIO was a great economist, that's the reason why he wanted to negotiate a defense agreement with ex colonial power.

@@dooldahpractor-one7605 but he doesn't want France

@@christisgodd He doesn't want France on the long run... That's the meaning of his statement about the relationship with France.

@@dooldahpractor-one7605 There is no way he can do without France

@@christisgodd This is your opinion and it is yours alone. But if that were the case, France would never have organised his assassination

Glad you enjoyed it! Am not fazir but i follow him and i like his work alot too

You to bless

African need to recognise t hemselfs as black africans and put there ethnic (tribal )second althought keeping there culture

Shut your mouth

Wrong statement

You told you that? Nkrumah was instrumental in his dead. Because he never wanted the unification of the Togolands. Thus Volta and Togo

@@christopherheflide523rubbish, do you really know history or you're just another togoness

My dear he is right... We aren't here to blindly support our country icons but we are here to follow the truth and that was the Truth... I'm a togolese who knows properly my true history not the fake one taught to you people maybe

Nkrumah stated that Togo is an apendice that must be intagrated to Ghana... Both of them wanted to reunite Africa, but not the same way. Olympio was part of the Monrovia group (panafricanist political movment) and Nkrumah was part of the Casablanca group. Monrovia group in wich Aïle Selassie was, wanted progressive approach based on economical & structural convergence criterias. While the Casablanca group wanted immediat union and Nkrumah planed to proclaim himself president of the United States of Africa. Thats the reason why Olympio called Nkrumah a black imperialist and also called the members of Casablanca group "gangsters". It seems that you still have a lot to learn about History.

@@dooldahpractor-one7605 here's one of nkruma's quote, a man trying to unite the continent does not have time for a peace of land ok! Never before in history has such a sweeping fervor for freedom expressed itself in great mass movements which are driving down the bastions of empire. This wind of change blowing through Africa, as I have said before, is no ordinary wind. It is a raging hurricane against which the old order cannot stand [...] The great millions of Africa, and of Asia, have grown impatient of being hewers of wood and drawers of water, and are rebelling against the false belief that providence created some to be menials of others. Hence the twentieth century has become the century of colonial emancipation, the century of continuing revolution which must finally witness the total liberation of Africa from colonial rule and imperialist exploitation
