Maryland was the first proprietary colony founded in the New World. The charter for the colony was granted by the King, but in reality the Lord Proprietor had complete authority to administer the colony as he saw fit.
I guess you could say the God was the founder, or creator of Africa. Humans were created in Africa, so they didn't even 'discover' Africa.

The first British colony in West Africa was Sierra Leone, established in 1787. It became the first sub-Saharan African colony to gain independence after World War II, achieving this status on April 27, 1961. Sierra Leone's independence was significant as it marked a turning point in the decolonization process across Africa.
Portugal established the first African colony inMozambique in 1500.
The Portuguese planted the first maritime colonies in Africa. The Dutch planted the first settled colonies in Africa. A maritime colony is a port city and some surrounding territory, but it is not terribly expansive. (Hong Kong until 1999 would be a good example.) A settled colony is a more typical colony type of which the 13 colonies that became the United States would be a good example.
no matter what anyone else says, the answer is LIBERIA
Nigeria is the name of the British colony in West Africa.
Egypt being the Most northern British colony in Africa and South Africa being the most Southern colony in Africa.
Kind of. The first colony in modern-day South Africa was the Cape Colony which was owned by the Dutch. The British took the Dutch territory over in 1806 and colonized the rest of South Africa themselves. South Africa gained partial independence in 1910 and full independence in 1931. They retained close ceremonial and economic ties until 1961.
