Biafra 1967-1970
"In the three years of the war necessity gave birth to invention. During those three years of heroic bound, we leapt across the great chasm that separates knowledge from know-how. We built rocket, and we designed and built our own delivery systems. We guided our rockets. We guided them far; we guided them accurately. For three years, blockaded without hope of import, we maintained all our vehicles. The state extracted and refined petrol, individuals refined petrol in their back gardens. We built and maintained our airports, maintained them under heavy bombardment. Despite the heavy bombardment, we recovered so quickly after each raid that we were able to maintain the record for the busiest airport in the continent of Africa. We spoke to the world through telecommunication system engineered by local ingenuity; the world heard us and spoke back to us! We built armored cars and tanks. We modified aircraft from trainer to fighters, from passenger aircraft to bombers. In the three years of freedom we had broken the technological barrier. In the three years we became the most civilized, the most technologically advanced black people on earth."
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, 1970
During the Biafra War of 1967-1969, which was triggered by a massacre by Muslims of Christians, the entire Western world stood by and allowed the Muslims of the North to slaughter the Christian, mainly Ibo, south. These Muslims were aided by outside Muslims, including Egyptian pilots who strafed and bombed Ibo villages, killing tens of thousands -- without any opposition, anti-aircraft fire, anything.
The war was brought on by the Jihad against the Christian Ibo and other Christian peoples of southern Nigeria by the Muslims of the north, and by the desperate attempt of the Ibo (Igbo) people to free themselves from Muslim aggression. Tens of thousands of civilians were murdered.
Great Britain, France, the United States, all of Europe, did nothing to help the Christians. Col. Ojukwu, in his Ahiara Declaration (for the full text, google "Jihad Watch" and "Posted by Hugh" and "Ahiara Declaration"), said that the Biafrans were fighting off a "Jihad" that was being waged against them -- and the word was not being used figuratively.
Only two states recognized Biafra: Ghana and Israel. The rest of the Infidel world turned its back, pretending to believe that it was more important to "keep the largest black African country whole" even if this meant repeated aggression against the Christians of Nigeria -- an aggression that continues to this day on Christian peoples. Usually the press only reports the Christian attempts at retaliation, not all that goes before -- and furthermore, describes this as "communal violence" rather than Muslim aggression which the Christians must ward off.

Vanuatu.
In a recent poll, it was just voted the friendliest and happiest country on Earth.
I don't think that success necessarily needs to be measured by money or military prowess. They have strong tourism, close families, great weather, low rates of disease and depression.

I do not believe there are any....
All African white colonial nations that have gone black seem
to have all become disaster areas under black rule...
I do not know of any cities which you might consider to be under black rule to be in anything but decline or already at the bottom of the heap and under Federal and/or State life support...

East Timor! Just sit back and wait....... that nation has given great examples in the past and it will come up with more. Just give it some time to recover from opression and the failing UN presence.
Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei (not black enough for you?)
