empires come and empires go. its called the feast of tabernacles ( rulership of the world ) and the feast of yom kippur ( being the most downtrodden and humiliated and abused ). yes we are inferior at this juncture in history but that white man yuou are looking at once lived in caves as a neanderthal caveman walking on all fours and barking like a dog ( this was barely a thousand years go ). its called the dark ages. its the cycle of life [b]and how God has done it. some are punished while some are exalted. we are the punished at this juncture in history[/b]

and the picture is very racist. i am sure the white people made them paint that on themselves

Excuse the paintings on their body.

The blackman has a million Everests to climb if he is to equal the whiteman. it is achievable in a 1000years if we seriously get to task now. But to surpass the Whiteman is an impossibility. when exactly do u feel the blackman will become superior to the whiteman, when do u see the table turning..its technically impossible.this is not a case of student outsmarting his teacher, cos in this case, Africans havnt even been to school road, let alone knowing their teacher.

Africans need to wake up first from their slumber and be divinely guided on the pathway to the Whitemans school.

Are you people that stu pid? seriously are Nigerians this stu pid? There is nothing racial about the pic? you mean to tell me that the white men in that pic viewed those black servants as their equal? Its freaking 1923, the British weren't in Nigeria because they viewed us as equals. They were there to exploit us because in there minds they were the master race, and despite this fact its somehow not a Racial pic but a "Creative" one. Ignorance is truly a disease in Nigeria, the lot of you need to go to school. Wow, this ticked me off.

Were you born then? how can you say racism doesn't exist in 1923 and in this above pictures!

The picture tells the story. the painted black men are slaves, while the black men dressed are also slaves but higher in rank than the unclad ones. their role would most likely be interpreters/guards. they are dressed so as to differenciate them! undecided

And if your asking about the child amidst them, to the whites, he is an invalid. meaning that they care less about him
You should be a storyteller. As at 1923, slavery in Badagry had been stopped for 80 good years. There are no slaves in that picture.

rubbish. you re using your terrestrial carnal mind to explain celestial subjects. divine intervention. this is not of man but of God. and we are at the age of change. if you live long enough to 2015 you are about to see some things that would blow your mind. just sit and observe. and i know you are a white man who lives or has lived in Nigeria

Why are the black guys sooo black and ugly.

And dem dey bone face join their ugliness.

Do not be mistaken, there is a clear difference between the black and the white races.

One is obviously Superior.

Accepting the truth is the first step to total emancipation.

Living in self denial is slavery in itself.

BUHARI IS THE PRESIDENT GENERAL OF MIYATTI ALLAH IN WEST AFRICA (FULANI COMMUNITY) HE MUST TELL US WHY HERDS MEN CARRY ARMS AND WHERE THE PROCURE THE ARMS FROM. HE MUST ALSO TELL US WHY THEY ARE BLOOD THIRSTY AND WHY HE HAS NEVER CALLED THEM TO ORDER.
BUHARI SUPPORTS SHARIA HE IS NOT THE RIGHT MAN TO LEAD A COUNTRY LIKE NIGERIA EVEN IF HE HAS A FAKE POPE AS HIS RUNNING MATE.
