do you know anything about egypt at all? they definitely had problems before white people arrived, and multiple different groups of people from other places in africa and asia conquered them long before white people had any influence there.
please take a world history class.
i don't know why you mentioned nubia considering white people didn't really have much influence on that region until after it stopped being its own empire. actually, the cause of nubia losing its power were other africans. including egyptians.
i guess nigeria was colonized, but do you know what hurt it? western countries outlawing slavery. so much for being against racism.
before colonialism of africa became widespread, the primary causes of problems for african countries were other african (or sometimes asian) countries. so no, africa wasn't some paradise before everything changed when the white people attacked. and actually, those countries that arrived before white people did some pretty terrible things to fellow africans, because shockingly, people other than white people can be bad. what an unexpected twist!!!
Probably somethig to do with their heavy reliance on slave labour. 
A thriving paradise indeed.
