We couldn't have been united. It's not like the ancestors had Internet or phones and could conference call each other.
We did not even speak the same language across Africa. And even a united Africa couldn't withstand the superior power of the whites.

I mean as ethnic groups
The Yoruba weren't united
Igbo weren't united

The groups that were united were united in foolishness
If Yoruba weren't in a stupid civil war
We would have resisted the Europeans
The best way to get civilisation is slowly
Not suddenly like Africa got it, that coupled with slavery made us the confused set of individuals we are today

The only reason I support Yoruba nation secession is because of the language
It must become a first language somewhere else it will die
That would make us more confused and abnormal

Please what do you mean by mental slavery.
Because I do not worship what my ancestors worshipped?
Honestly what aspect of our ancestors lives do you envy today?

Because you only see the negative side of your ancestors
There was a time Europe was more confused than we are
They never lost hope in themselves

You seem to loose hope

I also don't worship orishá
I envy thier minds
They were able to grow and grow and do things even the Europeans you envy couldn't do until centuries after
Read about the peculiarities of Ife art
They progressed we are going backwards with acceleration
Nothing is working
They had an identity
We are fast loosing it

And a man without identity is worse than a mad man

I am not against the addition of the European systems
I am against the phasing out of African systems to place the new one

We should learn from Asia
Japan,China,Korea never phased out thier cultures
Instead they added European style to make theirs updated
Look at them now


Africa must rise again!

You are yet to tell me how the ancestors were better than today.

You talk as if the white men were one united nation.
They also had their wars.
Anyway I still don't see reason to live like an ancestor

Even in the north... Are they north marrying under age girl?.... ... You are talking as if, there is perfect marriage in the north... Abeg.!!
.......,..................................................
If it were to be a Northern... The news will not be on air... Under age marriage happens more in the north than south!
