Expansion needed[edit]

This page should be expanded to include the colonial and post-colonial eras up until the present.

Agreed. I filled in the portion that I know about back in Novemeber 2004, but it's been awhile awaiting completion. - SimonP 20:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

Reference to "crackpots" should probably be deleted. Also, someone inserted "Erection", perhaps a bot, and that too should be edited out. 21:26, 27 November 2007 (UTC)~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.164.24.246 (talk)

Done. --Ezeu (talk) 21:47, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Palm oil[edit]

This isn't (at least, this shouldn't be) a sociologist's list of historical grievances: the article should discuss (pref with some detail) the development and integration of the African economy into the world markets. A huge part of that was the exploitation of palm oil, used by the British machines before the development of the American petroleum industry. It's currently entirely missing, but we should describe the rise and fall of the trade. — $Llywelyn II$ 14:43, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not up to date[edit]

New evidence has been found to allow a proper update for this article such as those mistakenly called Bantu as their noun, their presence in the Southernmost eastern regions has been found to be much more earlier than thought before. Untrammeled (talk) 03:02, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
