yes you read correctly

the first story building in nigeria built by the missionary Townsend
in 1842

by the way what you are quoting (Manhyian palace) is in Ghana not nigeria and it came much later in 1925.

It (The Manhyia Palace) served as the residence of Otumfuo Prempeh I and Otumfuo Sir Osei Agyeman Prempeh II, K.B.E. the 13th and 14th Kings of the Asante Kimgdom. The building was put up by the British Government for Otumfuo Prempeh I in 1925 who returned from exile in the Seychelles Islands in 1924, to replace the old Asantehene’s Palace at Adum which was destroyed during the Yaa Asantewaa war. The war was fought between the British and the Asantes because of the refusal of the then Asantehene to offer the Golden stool to the then governor of the Gold Coast, as demanded by the governor.

get your fact right thanks

Says the person who said Europeans built the first story building. I asked if you meant something else because I was showing that story buildings were a commonality in Africa which of course includes Nigeria.

Btw, is this where you got that quote from? http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/visiting-the-first-storey-building-in-nigeria/146113/

"Their contribution to civiization in Nigeria"
"established the first primary school"
"Also in this safe are the earliest form of currency used by the missionaries and slave masters such as the cowries, penny, shillings and Kobe."

Rofl. Seems legit.

If you werent so insultive and vindictive... your post would actually be awesome, but as it is even when u r making sense you suck major arse

Look in the mirror, you airhead. You reckon it's ok for YOU to back your post with invective, but not others. Practise what you preach or get lost. And no, I couldn't care less about your views - just don't come in here claiming the colonialists did anything major or I'll bury you in facts like I did the other guy.

blackprowler:


I didn't look at the name b4 sending the reply. If u look well on this thread, you'll see you're...different. I've wasted my time in the past engaging you. I won't be doing that again

I don't mind being "different" at all. Most Africans suffer deep racial inferiority complex, cannot see anything good in themselves for the life of them, and regard their colonial oppressors as bosom friends. When you try to wean them out of their illusions - using facts - they get nasty. But they still expect you to be 'gentle' with them. I don't play that game. If you are going to be a loud, recalcitrant, tone-deaf Uncle Tom, you'll be treated like one.

Funny part is we share the exact same views on this issue but u like the proverbail wounded dog who would bite even the hand trying to soothe its injury... am not gonna get involved in a war of words with u but remember I used the word "awesome" when describing ur views... peace

nice

Fantastic thread.

Octaves:
the truth my friend is, if not for bad govt, we would be on the same level as UAE, Qatar, etc by now. And in my accessment, puting all the baleful effects of colonial administration aside, they ran a more effective govt. U complain about the no of universities and hospitals they built. University has to be viable b4 u build one u cant build one for people that are just embracing education. The 100 UNI's they should have built wouldnt teach them selves. There was University College then. There were standard mission and govt hospitals and schools which standard back then cant be measured up to by what we have today. Power while it didn't reach all the rural areas was adequate to the areas it reached. The federal road and rail n/w was well maintained. There was jobs for school finishers. As much as am not trying to praise collonial rule, i only wanted to point out that our govt hasn't been at it's best in running this country. But you just take umbrage at any body who tells you the truth about how the govt has bn running the country down since independence.

Thanks for hitting the nail on the head. Who knows? Nigeria could have been like Hong Kong today.
