Who ever believes the caption of the picture must be silly. Must you tag Africa a backward continent all the time? Do you truly believe those girls were not washing clothes prior colonialization? I truly believe this was a Home Management class where girls are taught how to do certain chores properly. Girls were taught how to dress a bed,wash clothes and even how to cook. The only difference is that it's coming from a White woman/teacher. Even native women organizations handled those courses prior the coming of the white men! 1 Like |

nedu2000:How you go use black and Sub sahara at the same time? Both words are prejudiced. To white people,both words connotes famine,underdevelopment,poverty etc. As for the question, the important thing is that Africans used the cotton to make native wears,the source of importation is a none factor. What were the whites wearing prior to the discovery of cotton? Listen, one man cannot build civilization. It has to borrow from an existing culture. One factor that made Africans look stagnant was their inability to borrow from others and successfully incoporate it into their culture. Probably,the drying of sahara desert cut them off certain ideas. Yet, Africa was still able to build what we know as African culture amongst our numerous tribes. But can you prove that Africans had no knowledge of cotton prior European expedition? Think twice before saying that your ancestors were roaming the world naked. 1 Like |

musicwriter: slow down lets not get ahead of ourselves here 1.) mongo park discovered it doesn't mean africans didnt know about it or weren't using it. mongo park put it on the map, that is what matters most. 2.) adam, eve, abraham, jesus being black its just speculation. it is not a fact. adam and eve might have not even existed and it is just a fable. there is no evidence. 3.) when they colonized africa. africa was not equal to europe. that is a fact! if we we're equal then how on earth we're they able to colonize africa. does that logic make sense to you? 1 Like 1 Share |

nedu2000: It seems you think Sub Saharan Africa is limited to your corner of Nigeria. For your information, before the first white man ever set foot in Nigeria or Sub Saharan Africa, Hausas, Ethiopians, Fulanis Mandingos, Yorubas, Etc already wore Cotton and Silk made clothing..... The Europeans themselves imported Silk and Cotton from other places..... Talk about what you know. |

Ihuomadinihu:sorry for the tautology but how are they prejudice?isn't a country like Egypt/morrocco/algeria/tunisia/libya more of Arab than what we define as african? So when one says sub-saharan africa it's the blacks. Foreigners showed use materials for clothing and thus most likely showed us how to make it clean,just as they showed us the crude oil beneath our land and it's uses,now we kill ourselves for it,blacks er....backward 1 Like |

Ihuomadinihu: Was there much clothes to wash? [img]http://3.bp..com/-D6rFRKBuEk4/VUn_HL0XWCI/AAAAAAAAF_o/9bSzomNXooM/s1600/yy.jpg[/img] There's no shame in their game until white people showed up and helped show them their shame... even their religion was too much, they thought similar of many African slaves too The racist component here remains why is it being propagandized if or when washing clothes was a mundane and archaic chore : Mrs. Thomas Titcombe offering "a lesson in how to wash clothes" to Yagba women in northern Nigeria about 1915. She's on their land, she's authoritatively standing above them while they're shown laboring. I prays that there's no Black person that is waking up idolizing op's photo as a reminder of the great white messiah. I want to have my doubts. Op's pic is just one of many reminders which aims to promote the message that whites help 'civilize' Black people in long run with slavery and colonization. Many of us, African or not, wont ever see it that way. It's why I love Radio Biafra. I know I'm not alone. "Oh wait! Hold up! Shout out to the slave masters! Without them we'd still be in Africa. We wouldn't be here |

nedu2000:I don't have to believe your preconceived assumptions about Africans. Anyway,you have the internet at your disposal,you can browse and find out why enlightened people frown at the word Sub saharan. Not saying it's wrong snice it's a geographical term. But the word has been bastardiazed in recent memory. The foreigners you worship largerly derived their knowledge from other civilizations including Africa! Even the alphabet you use is of African origin. Do your research well. |

I'm going to tentatively say I'm not sure this fully qualifies as racism. I mean, if you rule out the perceived condescension behind the teachers act. Such skills actually benefited the Nigerian women who had upgraded from wearing just a loin wrapper to heavier and body shrouding clothes like the European women they came across. Clothes that needed chemical detergent and not repeated striking against a rock. Just saying. Feel free educate me where I'm wrong. |

repogirl: I beg to differ. This woman standing and her husband, Rev Tommy Titcombe, with Walter Gowans and Thomas Kent are cult figures as far as Egbe town and ECWA (Evangelical Church Winning All) history is concerned. They are missionaries who gave their all to God's work. They'll never enslave anyone. The ECWA Egbe hospital is still standing and boasts of the latest hospital equipment, the most recent surgical equipment the missionaries shipped in, Jonathan's government wanted to divert to national hospital, Abuja but for vehement protests. I was at the hospital last year, renovation was ongoing and I was awed by what I saw. Theirs is a complete team, white doctors consulting, whitemen came with everything they needed, even little things as nails or even door hinges are imported. The plumber, bricklayer, Carpenter etc are all white-men and they were all so,so happy doing their mission work. This legacy was left by the husband of that woman standing and the other missionaries. I hear that back then, they fly to Egbe with tonnes of drugs and clothes for locals. My mum is a direct beneficiary, they are responsible for her schooling. I can go on and on cos I don't know where OP got his story from. People won't verify stuff before they dump it on nairalànd. 2 Likes |
