SmoothCrim: Nigeria may be debatable but, Cameroon is CERTAINLY historically NOT a West African country!!!

Now you're talking, we're NOT you're right but Nigeria is not Cameroon, plus some historians used to associate Cameroon to West Africa which is wrong according to me

PhysicsQED:


Kanem-Bornu? You've heard of it right?

The issue of whether they traded in gold is not so clear cut (different sources make different claims), but they were around as early as some of these other places we're talking about, and were also involved in Sahelian and North African trade.

Where is the gold today!!

There is still gold in Mali(3rd largest producer in Africa) Gold in Ghana 2nd largest producer in Africa...

Even Nubia which means Gold still has gold.



That is how I read history ladies and gentlemen. I need to be able to tie it to today to make it indisputable!


GIVE ME ANCIENT West Africa!!!!!!

Don't derail the thread, plz..

I am not! I am only putting it in context so we learn more and learn how to read the history of the region.

In the end I hope all would have learned more.

^^^^Create another thread for the Ghana Empire - this thread is about Songhai Empire.

shymmex: ^^^^Create another thread for the Ghana Empire - this thread is about Songhai Empire.

I am talking about ancient West Africa!!!

Until you understand what I am saying you can never hope to understand West Africa as it was and as it is!!!

Nigeria I believe is a land that was overrun but Black North Africans, and Black Central Africans and displaced an indigenous people who today don't exist as a distinct race!!!


Now this is hard to prove but, I am working on it!!!


And Yes I am semi-trolling BUT, am I

^^^^^The civilizations that were built in ancient West Africa came after the remarkable ones in East Africa..

This thread isn't about competition, don't derail the thread.

loool West Africa the real Cardinal point include EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE CONTINENT, you were talking about Francophone influence let me tell you that you do the same mistake! this separation was about to control and divide the Continent, because the West Africa as people or Historians have delimited are completely wrong. Angola is in West of Africa! but more in the South that's all! Morocco is in West Africa as well but more in the North....think about it

SmoothCrim:

Bakassi Sr. Get out of my face!!! You are in Central Africa and related to Congo, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea!!! Good day!!!!

Onila, good evening, I'm sorry you should inform more about our History to understand our behaviour, a Malian and a Cameroonian have a total different way to behave towards the former colony, and don't forget we're NOT a colony but a protectorate, Cameroon was German and this point explain many things especially in tems of behaviour.

Hey Cameroonpride, I came across this a while back:

http://www.voanews.com/content/archeological-findings-reveal-central-african-history-125075209/161668.html

Just thought I might mention it.

It mentions ancient iron working by central Africans in what is now Cameroon. I've always held that iron smelting was probably discovered independently from the rest of the world in at least one or a few parts of ancient Africa below the Sahara desert, even if the use of iron in many other parts may have been introduced from north Africa in later times.

Oh yeah, and Cameroon is in the western part of central Africa as far as most people are concerned. I don't see why it's so important to you to leave central Africa and join West Africa. What's the big deal to you about switching geographical classification?

CAMEROONPRIDE: wowow ....so you were excepting a war right?

naa ya all are really nice and I love your music

but still french puppets like all french colonies

NO Bakassi sr. MAN will dare join West Africa!!! Nigeria can stay(grudgingly) but, NO Bakassi man will ever be allowed in West Africa!!!!

Bakassi OUT!!!!!!!
