[b]Actually, when we were told those facts (that slavery was first practiced in Africa prior to white men ever stepping foot on its shore) was totally surprising to us.  I took African History as an elective, which I feel should have been a required course, but I wanted to know more about Africa.  Now I do not remember the African History book that I was taught out of, for I graduated form college in 2003, but the professor still teaches it at the University where I received my degree.  I can ask him about it, get the name of the book and author and get back with you.  I do not know how soon I will get a reply, for that depends on how soon he responds.  But I "never" forgot that statement and fact.  Slavery was indeed practiced by many cultures, but I was addressing the statment that was made by another about white men brought slavery (practices) to Nigeria.  When indeed slavery was already being practiced, according to what I was taught, within Africa before a white man came on shore.  If we look in all the practices of all of our culutes, we will see facts that we are proud of and not so proud of.  I also rember how Shaka Zulu was given credit in the history books for being way of ahead of his time strategically in that he had the brillance to bring tribes together.  He took a Zulu tribe from a small clan and formed a nation that reigned over a large part of Southern African between Phongolo and Mzimkhulu rivers.   Of course, some of his methods were cruel, but he strategically formed a strong alliance and invented many strategic battle moves, which gave him many victories.  If something is a fact, than it is just a fact in history  unless it can be proven to be false.   We have our history (Slavery in America) as well, which is hard to digest at times or accept, but it is a fact.  [/b]

To:Pmdaboh:

What are trying to prove? Are you trying to teach us U.S. version of African history?This is Nairaland, if you don't know go and ask. Your post is full of shit.

@pmdabor, like i said earlier, there are different forms of slavery. The one you're talking about is one of the worst form of forced labor slavery in history.
that wasn't practiced in Nigeria. sorry.

Are you trying to teach us U.S. version of African history?

maybe she should read an American History textbook written by a Nigerian and see what it says. lol

Word

First of all most dances u see in d US originate out of of course Native dances from all around d world especially Africa as most of d US population consists of Black Americans who have African roots.

Secondly the Naija industry shuld improve on d quality of their videos, makeover, wardrobe and girls, boys they use in films b4 dey can think of advancing, i watched a film where one room was used for 4 diiferent scenes d furniture was just shuffled around, den all d echoin noises we don't want to hear dat, den playin music when someone is talkin who cares, especially when its crap, den d idea of playin foreign music there r soooo many faults in d naija movie industry, ranging from technical to the actors themselves,

All these shuld b corrected before they think of going anywhere, with dance movies,  with all those actors that are on the verge of retiring,

We need to use those big names as lead actors or actresses in dance movies.
Just like in Honey- they can be supportive.
But we don't have that kind of time and money to spend on just one movie in Nigeria.
We will not get there very fast in Nigeria. And I'm very positive!
So many factors are count against us.
Number One is our mentality, the way we think
