{UAH} What Africa had before colonisation - This Is Africa

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.
