Great Britain is taking over your African country for economic and political reasons. They want your land and resources to benefit their own economy. While colonial rule may bring some infrastructure improvements, ultimately being colonized will not make your country truly better in the long run.

You warn your fellow African nations that imperialism will only help the colonizers, not the colonized people.
