“Women from the Kikuyu community have small legs, totally no figures, and a little exaggerated heads. They lack good behinds and those who have them look like inflated balloons. They are shaped like pyramids turned upside down. A big upper frame and an almost invisible lower bit.
Luo men on the other side have distorted facial features..say big lips and huge noses or should we call them knobs. Kikuyu men are also disproportional, and most of them are stunted. They walk leaning forward. Plus they have long rusty teeth.”

Yes there are many theories. Most scholars believe that somewhere in Africa was where Afro-Asiatic originate from. The reason that map shows Southern Ethiopia was because of the most divergent Afro-Asiatic branch, the Omotic branch is spoken in the area being the first to split off, so the Proto Afro-Asiatic by some is thought to be spoken around the area. Some people suggest that the red sea around Eritrea is where Afro-Asiatic languages originates from.

The map is just a general map.

Yes, before there was the Egyptian culture, there were multiple ethnicities in the area.

I don't think Ancient Egyptians are far off from modern Horners in terms of complexion. If you compare Ethiopian orthodox and Sudanese coptic murals to Ancient Egyptian murals. According to scholars, the Naqadan culture became the dominant culture in Southern Egypt after the Badari culture. The Naqada were blacks having similar culture with the Nubians. Remember that Upper(Southern) Egypt and Lower(Northern) Egypt were separate kingdoms until they were united. Northern Egypt has more foreign influence than the South. Why? Because the South is furthest from the Mediterranean and more interior. The North was usually the first point of entry/part that was invaded by empires outside of Africa.

Till today, Egyptians themselves note difference between Northern and Southern Egypt. There is a disparity in the North and South. Today, a lot of the mainstream Egyptian culture is from the North with the biggest Egyptian cities like Cairo, Giza, and Alexandria all in the North. This wasn't always the case, Southern Egyptian was very prominent Ancient Egyptian cities like Memphis, Thebes and Luxor all located in the South. Southern Egypt today is considered more rural and poorer with 80% of Egypt's poverty concentrated in the South.

There are two main Arabic spoken in Egypt. What we know as the Egyptian Arabic is actually from the North of Egypt. The South of Egypt speak a different language called Sa'idi Arabic. The Egyptian Arabic is the only variant that is recognized as a national language. The people in Southern Egypt have a distinct identity and are known as Sai'dis and they represent 40% of Egypt's population.

Because Southern Egypt is more interior, foreign influence was limited. That's why Southern Egyptians were regarded on average as being darker in complexion than the North. It also took Islam a longer time to penetrate the South. This is why today the percentage of Coptic Christians in the South is higher than the North.
I think it's interesting that the millenia old differences between Upper and Lower Egypt exist today.

Oga, you are just dropping knowledge after knowledge. Nubians have told me they face racism in Egypt and are treated as foreigners, despite being indigenous.

Conclusion: The topic was right

Hati13:

Thanks again wenedem. You have greatly educated me.

Do you think that some west African peoples may be part of Ancient Egyptian?

That's a difficult question to answer. The boundaries like West Africa, Subsaharan, North Africa and all of that are irrelevant when we talk about the evolution of humans. I personally don't think modern populations in "West Africa" are directly descended from Ancient Egypt just because of the stark contrast in timelines, but their ancestors could have had contact with them. I believe "West Africans" or ancestors of modern "West Africans" lived further into North Africa (Northwest Africa) during the green Sahara era. There was nothing like Sub Saharan, because there was no Sahara then. The desert we see now used to be much greener with lush vegetation and vast savannas. There is a lot of evidence for this.

Have you heard of the black mummy of the green Sahara found in Uan Muhuggiag, Libya. The child mummy was the earliest mummy found in Africa and it predates Egyptian mummification cultures by 1,000 years. It's possible that this population influenced Egyptian mummification culture. Archaeologists suggest the mummy was black/negroid. Archaeologists have found that the area was populated by Pastoral black/Negroid herders who domesticated animals. The theory goes that the populations were pushed out by new comers/ farmers from the East. In a nutshell, "West Africa" is just a political term. "West Africans" at least back then lived in both "West Africa" and "North Africa" because there was no Sahara then. "North Africa" particularly "Northwest Africa" was just a continuation of "West Africa." So the Ancestors of today West Africans populated both regions, and some still do till today.

I explained more about this already.

On average, large percentage of Amharas and Tigrays DNA is Agaw(Cushite). They have also other Cushite ancestors like Afar, Beja, Oromos and others. There main Semite ancestors came from Yemenite.

Most says, Ethiopians look Arabs and Europeans only because of their admixture with Arabs, but they are incorrect.

I could recalled as a muslim one of d prophet most loyal companion " Bilal Ibn Raba Hamamah" mother was a princess from Abyssinia ( modern Ethiopia).

Your policy explains why. Now I understand.

To correct you, Ethiopian army's aren't cruel. They will do what ever they can to keep peace in the region, but they will try do the job as humanly as possible.

I know. My point was that Ethiopian army hates being drawn into an endless war. I was not hinting at human rights. Somalia is the best example. Ethiopian army goes in there and buldozzes the terrorists back in a whoosh and within no time they are out. I actually like it. Our army gets bogged down by strategies and pacification processes before they proceed to the next zone. That was my point; Wenedem!

I have not been to potiskum before, but is Zaria really developed cos I can't see dat apart from having more of higher institutions nd wat hv u... They r just lucky to b favored by govt in d past.

Eastern Gashua is dominated by d Bades- Hausas and Kanuri r also present. Ngizim are d real occupants of postikum, dere emirs from onset r mostly Ngizim nd one or two bades. They r also present in Bornu nd Jigawa bfor, but r extinct now. They dey easily foregone dere dialect for Hausa.


Gumel is kinda popular because of its evry two days market day... Daz all I knw.


Most governors in Nigeria don't spend a week in dere states, instead, dey go to Abuja. If a governor wit all d luxuries can't stay in his state who re u expecting to stay, besides, it's not a core north tin, it's a Nigeria stuff. People tend to live where dere businesses will flourished. Despites, Ogun state is developed, their rich men prefer to live in Lagos to Ogun state.

Ok.

So, what do all these Bades, Ngizims, Kanuris and other minority groups people who have been hausanized (i mean those people from these tribes). What do they identify as? Do they identify as Hausas ethnically or they still retain their original ethnic identity??

Is Kanuri language taught in schools in kanuri speaking areas?

Talking about urbanisation, yes i know that it is an all round Nigerian problem, but i don't think this issue affects South-South and South-east Nigerians as such.

Almost every state in the SE/SS has an influential, populated, rapidly developing and considerably rich capital city. Some states like Delta, Anambra, Abia even have up to 2-3 of such cities.
As for the South-west, Lagos is clearly their problem, but however, places like Ibadan are rapidly developing.

But if you look at the whole north, you will see that apart from Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Zaria and Ilorin, no other city can you really regard as well developing. Maiduguri is battling with boko haram which has really reduced it's potentials.
Look at states like Kebbi, Sokoto, Taraba, Zamfara, Jigawa, Yobe, Adamawa and others, no viable cities we can really say are rapidly developing and urbanizing.
Thank God for Abuja that has come to seriously urbanize states like Nasarawa and Niger.

There is a very big gap between the North and the South (if you understand what am talking about).

NairobiWalker:


Lol.....this dude. You know the problem with you buddy? You're such a stupid liar that people get tired of arguing with you and when they do, you think it's because you beat them and get excited over it especially when that O guy of yours cheers you on it.

Okay......let me try to get sense into you for the last time using your emporis site since you've made it your alpha and omega source.

Now, according to you, Lagos has 8 buildings over 100mm and you claim emporis is your source. Well According to emporis, Lagos has only 5. See first photo.

According to you Lagos has 8 skyscrapers, according to Emporis Lagos has 6.

According to you, Lagos has 120 high-rises, well according to your emporis source, Lagos has only 72 high-rises. See second photo and the link for Lagos on Emporis is right here.
https://www.emporis.com/city/100094/lagos-nigeria

Onto Nairobi.

According to you Nairobi has 6 skyscrapers, according to Emporis Nairobi has 15. See third picture

According to you, Nairobi has 76 high-rises, according to Emporis Nairobi has 81.

Here is the link for Nairobi.
https://www.emporis.com/city/100051/nairobi-kenya

Now, according to your Emporis source.....

Skyscrapers

Nairobi - 15
Lagos - 6

High-rises
Nairobi - 81
Lagos - 72.

Next I'll burst your bubble on Mombasa, PH, Abuja, Eldoret, Kisumu.


Lets see your lies and stupidity now.

Dis guy just dey yap me anyha.


First of all, I will educate you on how to read and interpret emporis.

From the snapshots below, the colors indicates the present states of the highrises and skyscrapers completed, underconstruction, proposed, unbuilt and demolished. A color is placed beside a highrise or skyscraper to indicate its current status.

If it is blue, it's a proposed project. Meaning it's doesn't exist neither is it underconstruction.

Purple means it's underconstruction. Meaning not yet completed or topped out.

Green means it exists or completed.

Yellow means unbuilt or abandoned.

Red means demolished or no longer exist.

Are you learning? Good boy.

Now that you have learned something, we will now get to how to count based on what you want.

We are only counting skyscrapers completed.

Now, you said Nairobi has 15 skyscrapers completed, ba, because you don't know the rules or you want to go your normal way of being mischievous.

From the snapshot below, there are so many purple and blue placed beside the buildings to indicate their current status and remember I told you I still double checked from other sources such as Wikipedia and skyscrapercity before I made my conclusions. As a result of that I discovered Teleposta Tower was missing from the list and I included it on the list to show how truthful I carried out my research but you want to be mischievous.

Out of the 15 skyscrapers, 2 indicates yellow (abandoned), 5 indicates blue (planned), 5 indicates purple (under construction), 3 indicates green (Completed).

However, out of the 5 that indicates purple, 2 indicated the year of completion. Meaning, they are topped out but construction is still going on in the buildings.

I didn't stop at that, I still verified the ones that indicates the purple and the blue ones from different sources. And I discovered that some of the blue ones are underconstruction.

Since, we based our argument on completed skyscrapers, I did my arithmetic by adding the 3 completed ones with the 2 that indicates the year of completion and it gave me 5 skyscrapers. Then how did I arrive at 6 skyscrapers completed for Nairobi if I made it my alpha and omega source?

No, I didn't, I still checked other sources and I discovered Teleposta Tower was missing. I added it to the 5 to make it 6 skyscrapers completed..

You see ya life.

Emporis somehow is current with the constructions going on in Kenya that is why you see the year of completion dated 2016. Though not perfect but credible.

2&3 pictures indicates the list of all the 15 skyscrapers and their status.


The same way I carried out my research for Lagos. Emporis indicated 6 skyscrapers for Lagos, 5 completed and 1 proposed which is the Stratosphere (218m).

Are you for real? do you agree nigeria has the tallest building in Africa?

I didn't count it but after my research, I discovered the ministry of Communication Building was missing and the two skyscrapers completed this year were also missing. The Black Pearl Tower 24 and the Eko Tower 2(I even posted the video and pics). I added the three to the 5 and it gave me 8 skyscrapers completed. comprehend!?

As it stands, Lagos has more skyscrapers completed than the whole of Kenya.

Next.....


The same rules were applied for the highest numbers of highrise in these cities.

If you apply the same rules, you will only get 76 out of the 81 highrises because some are either proposed or unbuilt.

Like I said earlier, it seems emporis has up to date information on buildings in Kenya till 2016 because I saw all your projects on their list save one.

Afterall, I still requested to add to the list but you lied you can't count the numbers of 12-storey towers in Nairobi. Chikena! That concluded it.

On the other hand, Emporis listed 72 highrises for Lagos but after I went through their list, I counted 68 highrises and after thorough search, then I came up with 126 highrises. I didn't just come up with the numbers, I listed them here for all to see.

Emporis somehow is not current with the constructions going on in Nigeria.

Similarly according to the very same Emporis, Eagle house and Conoil house is the same building. The kid forgiveness lists it as two different buildings.

Bhuuuhahaha! You agree when it favors you but disagree when it doesn't.

I told you, I used all the sources made available to me before I made conclusions.

Two sites included both on their list.

Now I get it. Don't tell me you speak Dutch?

I know kenyans have a very good reputation abroad even before Obama, unlike our Nigerian brodas . Our hospitality and sports have been positive to the world. Now we even have senators in Ausie and Germany! When we start doing well in ice hockey I dont know what will happen.

Yes I do.... And yeah when it comes to good reputation no dispute about that.

Mention kenya to any foreigner and they will immediately identify with the marathon I'm always shocked to hear how well they know about our athletes more than I even do but the best part is seeing the thrill in them when talking about here and wanting to visit...which they actually do.

Have you been to the lewa marathon? Running alongside with the wild animals?

I literally have no words for you.

mtis:

dude i dont get it..why go for kenyan gals...dont you guys like have those curvy an cute gals

Kenyan women are keepers and the beauty extends past the physical. Aside from that its amusing to them how a lady can hold a conversation without being aggressive unlike most of their sisters across naija. And this man is actually proudly yapping nonsense about taking over vera and her being theirs. Its sickening how this man is reasoning on this thread.
