If you guys take the HDI of Southern Nigeria alone, do you think Ghana or Kenya will come any close?

Nigeria is too complex. This is the reason why many Southern Nigerians are fighting for the division, seccesion and restructuring of Nigeria.

Imagine if Ghana was one country with Burkina faso and Mali. Or Kenya was one country with Somalia and Sudan. Do you think you guys would have progressed as you have now??

Muafrika2:


Yep. I was visiting Tana River years ago. They are mostly dark. Like other nilotes, but for the Somali looks. They share the county with pokomos. The women walk around with knives - I think its because of the tribal wars

fanficgirl:

ArtanK:


We don't claim Axum. Somalis only claim Punt.

You saw that one troll that I called out and now all Somalis claim Axum? Relax yourself.

there is a diffrence between 60million population and 80million population. over 20million population diffrence. That is huge if i will say. Yet germany still outperform uk in every area of development. Population itself is a resources. You need to note it.

Just30:
it's the reason why today, Ghanaians hardly declare their wealth. It's very difficult knowing who owns what company, in Ghana.

ArtanK:


The knives thing is a Cushitic cultural thing. In rural Djibouti and Somalia, people legit walk around with daggers hanging off their belts of tied to their sleeves. You shouldn't be afraid.

1 - Beja from Sudan/Egypt
2 - Afar men (Eri/Ethio/Djibouti)
3 - Afar women (Eri/Ethio/Djibouti)
4 - Somali men

The absolute data for the rise of Axum isn't known, but Axum was first mentioned in a document in the mid first century. Because of this, it's agreed Axum was established in the first century A.D.

Before Axum, there was a great civilization called Damat. It was formed in 10 century BC. It territory was in modern day Eritrea and northern Ethiopia. It's thought that the civilization of Ethiopia was 3,000 years, but new evidences are now pointing in that it's rather 10,000 years.

Damat and Axum wasn't established by Sabaeans(southern Yemenite), rather by the locals Semiticized Agaw and other peoples. Geez language and alphabet wasn't driven from Sabaean, but rather from the local Semitic languages.

The original inhabitants of Eritrea and northern and central Ethiopia after 3rd millennium BC were Agaw and Afar peoples.

No, this was a Somali friend of mine lol. Relax no harm.

fanficgirl:

Blood of Jesus I can't visit Kenya. I'm afraid of animals

MtuMsuper:

Yes the y are bantu origin people. Swahili is in this strange category called Niger Congo. Those are academic definitions. Nobody goes around claiming Niger Congo identity. In Africa, many people identify themselves with their tribes first, religion second and football third!

NairobiWalker:


Lol, animals are confined to parks and game reserves and game ranches. Most of Kenya is basically just like most of Nigeria. It's not like you'll be walking alone and come face to face with a lion.

fanficgirl:

Wait how did Oromos sell slaves?

ArtanK:


Axum's history is fascinating. They conquered southern Yemen and large parts of modern day Saudi Arabia. Whenever Arabs get mouthy, I hit them with the Axumites ruling their land and they're left speechless

Nowenuse:


Nigeria's infrastructural development is only somehow evenly-spread because northerners have so much power politically in Nigeria unlike northerners in GH.


Southern Nigeria will always beat Southern Ghana or at least equal Southern Ghana because in Ghana, the muslim northerners are minorities, so, there is no way their backwardness will affect Southern Ghana compared to Nigeria where the muslim north seem to be the majority.

Take Nigerian youth literacy rate for instance, the national average is estimated at 72%, but do you know that in all the Southern states it is about 95%?

National extreme poverty rate in Nigeria is about 33%, but do u know that a state like Lagos state has only about 5% or less living in extreme poverty?

Can you see the drastic difference?

This is exactly the way other index statistics are affected as soon as you average Nigeria.
So, if you use any national index statistic of Nigeria to judge southern Nigeria, you would be making the most terrible mistake.
The gap is too wide.

Is there any part of Southern Ghana with 5% or below living in extreme poverty??

by your slums i meant slums all over the world

your friends have their own opinion , i cant comment on that , i was in US , i found many places there dirty too. no great deal

the fact is, u will find shiitt if ur looking for shhitt

Indians working in Kenya will always praise Kenya , that is a basic rule to be followed by a well mannered guest in a host country.

if u guys r looking to compare countries best way to do is by comparing

1. education standards and facilities

2. manufacturing capabilities and facilities

3. scientific and engineering R & D

4. military capabilities and assets

5. space related capabilities and achievements

6. transportation/logistics assets, infrastructure and capabilities

7. power generation and related manufacturing capabilities

8. ship building capabilities and infrastructure

9. aviation related capabilities and infrastructure

10. agriculture related capabilities and infrastructure

etc based on official sources like UN data , internationally reputed analysis and ratings bodies etc not blogs, small time news/electronic media and youtube videos

posting pics of high rise buildings is not a yard stick to compare countries , including hearsay like "my friend told me this" etc

dont mind me i was just browsing through and having a good time in general, its fun

The Afar men are hot

Hati13:

During their great population movement from mid 16th century to early 18th century from central Ethiopia to all direction of Ethiopia and northern Kenya, they conquered many lands and assimilated the locals who said, yes. Those who said, no were either their organs mutated, massacred or sold as slaves. I don't know if the magnitude of their slave trade can be as the Abyssinians and Adals(Harar, Somalia and Afar), but they sold many slaves.

Because of their great assimilation strategies, almost all the Oromos nowadays are either mixed or other ethnic peoples who were forced to lose their original identity and been Oromonized. That is why they became now the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia and one of in Africa. The Oromos are the most mixed people in Ethiopia if not in Africa.

If you guys claim Punt, then you must have been in present day Sudan, Eritrea said northern Ethiopia back then. Am I correct?

You're late to the party! We did that multiple times. They all saw the leader but pretended not to understand and changed the topic while they screarmed even louder.

fanficgirl:

Wow! And people claim Habeshas are. They sold the slaves to Arabs? Then Abyssanians came in and started selling Oromos as slaves? Did they so it for revenge then?

obaaderemi:
Much like the African Moors ruling southern Spain.How vibrant is the port of Adulis today?In Greek times it was quite great.
