hahn: And who do you think is The cause of all this backwards? Have you not heard of colonialism or do you think our ancestors suddenly forgot how to govern a country and regressed into what it is today? Use your brain. hahn: That building in the pic is one example of widespread traditional architecture used all over England and Europe. And you still didn't negate my point about the Arab architecture. hahn: You only have your gullible forefathers to blame. hahn:This argument has been going on for so long, it seems you have forgotten the original point. Pre-colonial Africa was advanced back then. If our forefathers were able to achieve what they could, what's stopping us from doing the same level? If they could run stable governments with a entails for their people and live under accountability, what stopping us? Why are the likes of you condemning you ancestors for "semi-primitiveness" and praising a foreign people that are rife with cultural corruption of their own thanks to centuries of European born superstition and backwardness? Stop with the inferiority complex and learn to learn from people who have been through similar trials you are currently in. 1 Like |

Maxtermind:The advanced history books I've read on Nigerian history since the early 1980s clearly state that Ijaw/Ibani (Bonny) traditions forbid a slave, ex-slave, or a freeborn from being made a king or Amanyanabo. So how did Jaja, a former slave (from Umuduruoha clan of Amaigbo in Imo State) who got naturalized into the Ijaw/Bonny ethnicity, become an Amanyanabo or king in Opobo (which was a part of Ikot Abasi in Ibibioland) on running in away in canoes with some male supporters from Bonny in 1870? "This is a historical scam that is being dished out online and in schools." Jaja was referred to as a BRUTAL middleman chief and NOT a king in the British archival records. Jaja's Ibo father was also a known slave trader! Jaja was very brutal (he murdered and beheaded people) and prevented the interior ethnicities along the river trade routes from trading peacefully with the British, who then deported the arrogant and ungrateful guy. He gave out 50 male mercenaries to the British to use during the Anglo-Ashanti War. This man called Jaja was not a true African nationalist like we were made to believe in bogus, covert propaganda right from the Nigerian primary school Social Studies curriculum. 1 Share
