This is their right! like the right to Nigerians to say they're a great country. A great doesn't mean PERFECT. As for elections as you underline previously I think the case of France is a good one, they call themselves democracy while the whole power is concentrated in the executive one. Sarkosy policy has showed it when it comes to medias, which were totally controlled during his rulling. I can't say Cameroon is a perfect country I know our weakness espcially politically speaking but in a discussion all is not BLACK or WHITE, we need to balance and see many elements that's what you don't do Onila and that's the reason I partially disagree with your statements on that.

Look brother when I'm discussing I like talking with distance and not passion or clichés. Here in Europe Chinese, Ghanaians or Nigerians are affected by prostitutions does it mean they're useless? Ask some Nigerians about prostitution rate in their country you'll see, this is a worldwide phenomenon and not a new one sorry!

True, if That and healthcare is fixed everything else will follow gracefully; that to me is the biggest problem affecting Nigeria today.

I don't think it is laziness, it is the fact that they don't see a gain in it, Africans want to see the fruits of their labor(which is understandable) and when governments are making the system like that in such a way where the citizens can have that reassurance, they will be less inclined to do so. That is why many Africans(mostly of poor back ground) today go to first world for a decade or more, then come back with their hard earned money to build a house, business, and etc. That is what is happening right now, African governments need to do their countries systems in such a way that these Africans don't need to travel overseas and accumulate in foreign land just to do things to progress their own homeland. Germany and Japan(eventually) learned to make their systems in such a way where their citizens can build in their own land without going overseas. India(caste system) and some other countries are going through the same thing as what is going on in African countries

Any historical evidence?

During the dark ages, Europe was politically fragmented and (for some time), Southern Spain was under the control of the Abbasids.

It's not Abbasids it is Almoravid empire the black people of north africa whom where converted to islam.

World’s First University: Timbuktu

Unknown to many in the educated world. The first University in the world was the Sankore University in Timbuktu, capital of Mali.The University was organized around three great Masajids or Mosques. The Masajid of Jingaray Ber, The Masajid of Sidi Yahya, The Masajid of Sankore. Masajids are places of worship for Muslims. Not only did students seek knowledge, but they also purified their souls through the sciences of Islam. Islam breeds leaders that are God fearing, just, honest, trustworthy and of excellent moral character. Graduate students were the embodiment of the teachings of the Holy Qur’an and the traditions of the Mohammed, the Prophet of Islam. The great library of Sankore boasts of a collection of over 700,000 manuscripts.


Around the 12th century, the University of Timbuktu had an attendance of 25, 000 students in a city which had a population of 100,000 people. The students came from all corners of the African continent in search of excellence in knowledge and trade. On graduation day, students were given Turbans. The turban symbolizes Divine light, wisdom, knowledge and excellent moral conduct. The turban represents the demarcation line between knowledge and ignorance. The knots and circles of the turban represent the name Allah. This means that the graduate students know the Divine obligations and responsibilities to be discharge honorably in their communities and toward their fellowmen.

Timbuktu’s literary output was enormous, and included works covering the history of Africa and southern Europe, religion, mathematics, medicine and law. There were manuscripts detailing the movement of the stars, possible cures for malaria and remedies for menstrual pain.

Zouber says he immediately realized the manuscripts’ primary source importance. “Colonizers had always argued that they were here to civilize Africa,” he says. “But there were many points of light. Clearly Africa was not living in obscurity.”

In 1979, Zouber, the President’s counselor, bought 25 Timbuktu manuscripts from the daughter of a former French diplomat who had been stationed in Mali and had taken them with him when he left; Zouber tracked her down in Cannes and paid about $25,000 for the lot. “Now they’re worth perhaps 10 times that amount,” he says.

Their astronomers didn’t follow the European leap to a sun-centered solar system, but they sprang far ahead in the mathematics of calendar writing — far ahead in trigonometry. The writings detail astronomic events six hundred years ago. Scholars, racing to translate this huge trove of literature, now wonder what these ancients knew of medicine, botany, chemistry and climatology. How did the knowledge of other regions flow through this glittering outpost? How much new science did it create? But, the romantic image is hard to get around. In a recent survey of young Britons, a third thought Timbuktu was imaginary. The rest found the very name to be mystical. For most of us it remains a location in our imaginations — not in geography or history.

Examples of Tombouktou manuscripts:

MANUSCRIPT 4056
This work is a scientific treatise on optics, a branch of physics that describes the behaviour and properties of light and the interaction of light with matter. The writer outlines five premises for aspects of visualization, detailing arguments for each. It is written in Suqi script, but the date and writer are unknown.



MANUSCRIPT 4058
This treatise on astronomy and geography describes lines of longitude and latitude, and studies the dimensions of the earth. The succession of night and day and the movements of the constellations are considered. The authorship of manuscripts dealing with astronomy and astrology in this collection is often unknown. It would seem that the study of astronomy was closely intertwined with astrology and this was rather frowned upon by orthodox Muslim scholars. The manuscript is written in Sahrawi script.

what do they have to do with the songhai empire?

shymmex: ^^^^How did they forget it? Both Nubia and Cush extended into Sudan/Ethiopia.

Why do you think they call Egypt(Kemet) the first daughter of Ethiopia?

The same people who built Nubia/Cush were the ones who later migrated to West Africa to build the Songhai, Mali, Ghana, Oyo, and Benin Empires..

Stop trolling, you're annoying..

hmmm...interesting.
i will have to look into this.
