Nmeri17:Why not read and understand what Radoillo posted to you Lemme try to help you more Europe overwhelmed africa due to military technology. It takes only military technological superiority to defeat an enemy in battle But when we talk civilization and in other sectors of technology, Europe was beneath Africa The Vikings of Scandinavia were not so bright, they knew nothing other than war. .. with this knowledge of war alone they defeated so many even threatened the mighty Turks a similar thing can be said about the Spartans, Macedonians who were far beneath the Athenians in everything except war 1 Like |

macof:let you try and help who more?? muhahahaha....I get the point: you must be an amateur comedian Anyways, before we derail, I understand what you're all tryna say. Totally. Africa was more knowledgeable and sophisticated in all other facets and endeavors save warfare. That is your opinion and I sincerely respect it. I however, would be just as pleased if you make just as much effort to see things from my perspective too. Put your thinking cap on and read my previous comments over let's see if you have acquired more luck at comprehension. |

Rossikk:YOOOOOWAAAH!! Salient points raised at last!! Before I continue, God bless you Rossike. Now, we can deviate from base debates of blind, hopeless and wretched alcoholics clinking clay cups at local beer parlors and sound more realistic. Does the Industrial Revolution not highlight the singular postulation I've held onto since my entrance into this thread?? Basically, at some point, everybody was behind Europe IN NOT JUST ARMS AND WEAPONRY but every single facet of human existence!! To say the least, the seeming difficulty encountered in assimilating this point is saddening. To that palm wine tapper hauling invectives at me ceaselessly, Africa was only at par with the rest of the world in the thousands of years preceding the 15th century. And that does not count as "advancement" anyways but existence and primary level of civilization. Modern civilization as we know it, was born in Europe -- that is why they brought the fight to us all. But I know you'll soon lunge at me rabidly. But before you do, take some time to understand what I'm saying and construct your grammar better. we're not fighting |

Nmeri17: i understand your sentiments, just because it was the 15th century should not make you say it doesn't count as advancement. Ship building, international trade, complex housing scheme are not primary level of civilization. |
Re: Eredo, Ijebu - The World's Largest Man-made Structure by Rossikk(m): 2:51pm On Oct 24, 2015 |
Pdizzle:Exactly. I was about to reply him with these same words. Fact is without these painstaking earlier innovations, there would have been no western industrial revolution. Europe merely built upon what other races - primarily Africans - had accomplished. They essentially put the icing on a cake baked by others. 1 Like |

Our consolation is formidable: In pre-historic time, Africa was where Europe is today, but today, Europe is where Africa was. With this argument in place, we are robbed of our place. How so? Maybe through slave trade or some ways only known to black egyptians and pharaos. The truth is, you can't operate from a pedestal you have not attain. You put yourself in a ditch? Find your way out. You find yourself in a ditch? Come out. If you can't, seek other's genuine help. Meanwhile, you can singsong about what you claim to be yours that is irredeemably lost. Children does that alot. Wailing losers' mourn. |

Rossikk: People like that guy worship at the paper throne of euroclowns and usually dont bother to educate themselves on African history. |

IamAtribalist: Kindly an African American perspective: the euroclowns go out of their way to distort anything African here in America. No matter how superior one may think his clan is, the people that control the images and the narrative will find an educated way to say go Bleep yourself, look at u now we dominated you. They willfully ignore the fact that colonialism actually lasted less than 100 years from the signing in Berlin. Thanks to the information age, the availability of new education has allowed us to shut these euroclowns down completely when they insult your history and many of us are quite militant when it comes to setting the record straight. We dont have the baggage of tribalism to color a bias in Africa research so people like my self can lecture on pretty much any ancient African society to infinity. Because we know when Africans look bad we look bad right along with them and they never let us forget that ever. Therefore us militants do everything we can to show Africa was/is very sophisticated and a crown jewel in the world at a time Europe was poor and steeped in barbarism. Thier propaganda is very subtle and subliminal. Such as when they go to Ethiopia and have the tribal people put leaf hats on and paint their faces when that tribe may not necessarily do that. They present pictures of Nigerian slums and starving Ethiopian babies and say thats your people right there, be glad you're American. However, those us with education dont fall for that okeydoke. They present history studies covering everything but African history even in my own town. Ethiopians believe themselves set apart from others but they receive the same broke treatment too. This behavior is why certain Afro American and especially ignorant white people have images in thier mind thats not true. I was disappointed to see this euroclown propaganda has infected Africans too, im like wow u r there u should know better. So I say the Africans NO MATTER THE TRIBE OR NATION need to get together and display your greatness before the world. Write ur own books, make ur own documentarys, do ur own research. This is Marcus Garvey said, get together amongst yourselves and find a way. This tribalism and suspicion is how the Euroclowns set u against each other every where. Its how they destroyed the Aztecs: arm one Indian against another Native. Cortez was vastly out numbered and I mean vastly, but tribal exploitation is how he killed them off. The same in South Africa and Ethiopia too amongst others. So from the outside looking in spread the word to stop believing pathetic euro opinion and shut them down. Many act this way subconsciously, however and dont know it.The greatest African emires in world history were a collection of tribes under a king, not just one single tribe. Even old Egypt was more than one type of people, despite the psuedo rhetoric. Thats how the Europeans rose to prominence. Anyway im just a regular guy and wanted to add this, thanks for reading this.

It must also be noted that these constructions were for defensive purposes complete with garrison barracks and etc meaning the Eredo people were afraid of some people enough to spend such money on defense. The fact is that there are many such cities that are now buried under forests not only in Nigeria but all over the world. |
