koyyes: Your point exactly? Be clearer so that the ediot that liked your comment can fully comprehend.

you said "Your ancestors sold your forefathers in chains" which does not make much since. it's like telling a English person "your forefathers sold your Irish ancestors into slavery" or saying the Japanese killed there cousins in asia during WW2

slaves were war captives from other ethnic groups

hmmmm, true but in some cases, there were situations where villagers who committed serious taboo(s) were sold out instead of given the normal punishment. I would have loved to give examples but because I understand that hateful non nigerians are on NL, I won't. Other than that, what difference does it make? We are all united by one color irrespective of the shade of color or cultural differences. That's like saying north korea and south korea are not brothers/sisters. You made a very good point though by saying-'Black is not a mono cultural thing'. It is for this very reason we are where we are today.

@ Koyyes
Still resorts to ad hominem attacks to get his points across. smh.
Doesn't know the history of his own continent and compensates by making historical fallacies mentioned by RandomAfricanAm, a poor grasp of the topic of discussion, poor grasp of the topic in his link, throws tantrums whenever his point is proven wrong, poor typing skills I might add, doesn't even know who TerryCarr and co. are, follows me around the forums replying to each of my quoted(duplicated) posts like an errand boy, couldn't even cite a source to save his life but would rather throw insults left and right as if that somehow validates his weak points.
And above all, sounds like a broken record doing the above.
Smdh.

#laughing and rolling on my locally made bed# Making more excuses for your display of self hatred and stuupidity huh! Good to know you are finally coming around by describing your pitiable self. You forgot to add your excuse for being a hypocritical white cooock sucker. It takes only a lunatic to listen to a broken record for days. A round of applause for the king of ediots!!!! Why the hell would I post unadulterated links of my very own african culture? If you want to learn more, come to nigeria and expand our tourism 'purse'. You want free knowledge abi? TYPICAL BLACK OLOSHI like you!!

NK & SK were both one nation at one point blacks were not, a Zulu is different from a Yoruba like a English is different from a Italian

You are able to know about North Korea and South Korea because their separation was something that happened not long ago. However, the origin of Blacks still remains debatable. All I know is that before migration became necessary to humans, blacks came from one source.

check this link and see how great culture is.but don't forget to like

fulanigirl:

Fulaman I'm with tpia5 on this . They are very insulting and borderline bullying. There is a difference between cultural awareness and judging people on your own pillars

And Pagan9ja referring to me as a half caste, I mean seriously? Do you not realise how offensive that is? So my parents should not get together simply because of tribe and nothing good cane out of that union? I am definitely not confused but I feel blessed to be from two different tribes.

sorry to ask, fulani apart,what is the second tribe you are from ?

rahazaqa: sorry to ask, fulani apart,what is the second tribe you are from ?

She is half Fulani and half Hausa

oh,ok.

Africans care about their cultures as necessary. I however don't believe that many of our indigenous African cultures are that essential to thriving in the modern world.

I study various Nigerian cultures by lurking in the cultural section here, mostly because i appreciate human anthro-diversity but I learned to get over my chauvinism to appreciate the benefits of non-african cultures.

The most advanced cultural and spiritual philosophies are from Asia, IMO.

Convention ascribes this to the middle east but I know that that area only birthed the world's biggest dogmatic religions. Christianity, Islam.and Judaism are such pains in the asses at times.

African culture is good for what it is but humanity would not be missing much if African cultures were extinct...except maybe some appreciation of a primordial way of life which is anachronistic to contemporary needs (cultural and otherwise).

Yes we do! In fact there is this new cultural research organisation that is working to preserve Nigeria's heritage. It's called Nsibidi Institute. You should check out their website. There was this one blog a week or two ago about how Nigeria was seen by Americans (Westerners broadly speaking) a few weeks before independence. Great photos from LIFE Magazine.
http://nsibidiinstitute.org/a-proud-free-and-all-but-forgotten-nigeria/

They actually just launched a project on Twitter @NsibidiInst as well - an online archive. Looks like a more engaging way to talk about Nigeria's rich, old and diverse cultural history.
Here is the poster that came with it.

Maybe its not important to the world, but its the only way to develop Africa back to its advanced state. Our forefathers were clearly more advanced than us so why should we turn away from (African)ways of advancing?
