I was kicked out from their group because I was black shocked
when ayanle that dumb somali on NL told me Ethiopians hate black people, I didnt believe it

but when I went to their group and experienced their so called uneccessary complex shocked I was shocked

and this quote is everywhere in their group. they post it every time like its their national anthem. thats how i knew the origin of the shitty green, red, yellow tongue grin
they said they feel superior to other Africans because of these dumb accomplishments grin and yea because they have tiny noses

Aren't you from that poor country Ethiopia?!?!
Not just Poor, but also the Only African nation Never colonized, First African's to win gold in the olympics, The African nation with its own written Alphabet,The country that practiced Christianity before Europeans and accepted Islam before the Middle East! The country with the flag colors that everyone rocks without even knowing what it means (green, yellow, red)! The country that is the origin of the coffee you sip, The country with so much culture and spirituality that you can't even comprehend! Yes!!! I am from that BEAUTIFUL country and Proud of it!!!!!!

Everyone writes their history to feel proud... If I wrote Ghana's many of you would be crying!! wink wink wink wink

It would be 10 times what you have listed wink

The problem is that you guys give them reasons to be "superior" or whatever...if you see some sections on here we can see many threads about Ethio/Somali( skin, models, comparison and so on)...giving them this feeling of superiority so this is not a surprise

But sometimes the Op of those threads are not nigerian, they are Somali or Ethiopian trolls though. To be honest many Nigerians are not familiar or know to much about Horn of Africa, who do you think are the ones saying bantu and all this nonsense all the time

I admit it... Ghana also has the most history written by European explorers in Africa... That is why Ghana has much more detailed history written than other African countries many of whom have turned to writing lies based on oral history...

red, black, and green = Marcus Garvey, also pan-Africanism

green, white, and green = wealth and peace (neither of which Nigeria really has nationwide), but unfortunately its colors coincide with those of some Arab/Muslim country flags

unless u have another quote, there was nothing racist about the comment. he/she is someone who is sure of where he/she is coming from and proud of it. u were the one who actually made a racist comment judging from what u have posted.

I never insulted anyone in their group. .I cant be that dumb because if i shld insult anyone-I knew I will be kicked of the group immediately

Once they realized I was a west African. .some of them called me a nigga grin and asked me do u feel welcomed here, u monkey shocked
many also called me monkey

when I cldnt take it anymore, I insulted them back-poor pple etc
they later reported me to the admin and I got kicked out grin

Dignity or pride have nothing to do with money or economic power
Since you're a ghanaian beggar ,you 'll never understand
Those decendent of slaves or black diasporians can have all the gold ,it won't buy this sense of dignity the slave master stole
There 's nothing more embarassing than being the white men's tools

Then Ethiopia which you are praising are the biggest tools!!

The biggest aid recipient in the WORLD!

Is that not SLAVERY??

If you take all that aid you have to do what the person giving the aid wants!!

Hence the wars on behalf of Western nations etc etc!!! wink wink wink wink wink

There is a difference between real pride and fake pride and poverty takes away almost any dignity one may have!!!

Only NEGROES would be impressed with some of these "accomplishments"!! I am not impressed!!! wink

If you go to a Ghanaian site there would be Ghanaian supremacy!! The problem with Nigeria is there is no real common identity!! grin grin grin grin grin
Just to point out I'm not a Nigerian, and superiority based on constructive things and NOT subjectivity or little details and passion. Think about it

Plus superiority in what? judging from the fact that every single countries has their goods and bads?

I am giving a historical lesson!! It teaches a very big lesson that one must learn about the Barbarian era in West Africa!! If you don't learn it it will happen again... Nigeria as the biggest exporter of people should have learned it the most but, has learned it the least!

As I said, slavery to me is not embarrassing! cheesy cheesy cheesy

If I am embarrassed by anything it is not the people but, the thinking during that time that allowed it to happen!! Mainly in the Ghanaian context division and ethnic rivalry!! I can promise you that a united Ghana would NEVER have allowed so many Castles to be built(even though genetic tests are starting to prove that not that many Ghanaians ended up in the west which is strange....??)!! wink wink wink wink wink Either way... A united Ghana will would have taken over Africa...

Only Ghanaian RULE can SAVE Africa!!!

PhysicsMHD: It was pan-Africanism. If you understand the milieu in which Nkrumah and his colleagues were operating, then you'll understand why they went with those colors.

reminds me of Arab countries using flag colors of the 3 isamic caliphates : ummayads, abassids, fatimid and also the khawrij., i.e., red, black, white and green. These are the Pan-Arab colours, used by Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, and formerly in the flags of Libya, South Yemen, and the short-lived Arab unions of the United Arab Republic, and the Federation of Arab Republics

Mali probably has the most detailed precolonial written history, along with some other Islamic states in West Africa, like those in Northern Nigeria.

Seems you're right:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-Arab_colors

There's a lot of similarity, and yet the Arabs use the colors in such a way that the flags don't really look like those of the African countries that went with pan-African colors.
