The british and the westerners will forever dominate africa if we don't discard some of their teaching. How can they say mungo park discovered the Niger River, where our fore fathers had lived all their lives.
Pls nairalanders help me remember other nonsense teaching by the colonialist

My message is not about who discovered the river Niger, it is about changing our indoctrination from the colonialist. Re write our education curricula and stop feeling inferior to the british. Ask your self the truth did mungo park really discovered the river niger like he was the first person there. They have to say the first english man to discover river niger is mungo park and not. The person that discovered. Like africans are not human. We can still correct it though.

one of the meanings the word discover can take is - make known to the public information that was previously known to a few people.
so you see, he did discover river Niger

i don't understand what you mean by public bro, discover simply means the first of a kind to notice a different Phenomenom or existence of a matter. and since mungo park is a human being, he was not the first bro. he may be the first European or first white man, but certainly not the first person.i urge our education to change it from their curricula and many other anomalous teaching by the British.
