post solid evidence of storey buildings with STAIRCASES in nigeria before 1845, instead of engaging in conjecture

EzeUche:

I agree with you ROSSIKE.

Africa was thriving while the British were still painting their faces blue.

How the hell do you think they got upstairs in the buildings posted?

By rope?

Your imbecility is stunning. 

Eddeux:

Does Nigeria have many historical cities?

ElRazur:

Yes. There are many, depends on what history you are after.

From the top of my head, Lokoja, Ikole, Eko [In lagos], Ilorin and many more.

Eddeux:

then one of them should have Nigeria's first story building, or better yet Nigeria could just be a nation w/ no 'firsts', just w/ multiple cities that are home to the first story building in their areas, considering it wasn't formed till the Brits came knockin' in.

And I thought Benin City was a historical city, I heard it from someone on this forum sometime ago.

FL Gators:

Isnt Eko=Lagos?

I mean, even if that wasn't the first storey building in Nigeria, the British aren't in Nigeria now so why is there a sign on there saying it is? And if they are going to put a sign on it , can't they give it a lick of paint, fix the windows and at least make the place and surrounding area presentable to visitors Na wa o!

This is one very sad thing about the fact of our identity crisis as a people. We love to be told who and what we are by total strangers (as long as they are white), we love this almost as much as we love to be called "Peter" or "Paul" and name our kids "Hezekiah" or something similarly ridiclous like "Longinus".
The only way we can make progress is by being ourselves.

Naijamini, I'm a bit more optimistic regarding our present and future, Across Africa, believe it or not, and by all indices and statistics, poverty is actually falling year on year, as are illiteracy, disease, conflicts etc.

umm, thanks to the white man's country (dollars/pound being sent is really helping don't you think?)
thanks to the white man's method of education, medicine and conflict resolution. africa is indeed doing well

Military rule is now anathema. The continent's economy has grown at something like 7.5% annually for the last ten years, the fastest growth rate since independence. The middle class has expanded greatly, with their higher purchasing power leading to unprecedented demand for consumer goods across the continent.

15 years ago not less than 20 conflicts raged across the continent. Today that number is down to the ones and twos, which shows growing continental capacity in conflict resolution, an essential requirement for the stability that leads to development,

So there is a steady climb to progress, make no mistake. It's just not happening as noticeably fast as most would like it to.

I project that Africa in the next 20 years would be a much improved place.

do you know the difference between a minaret and a storey building?

do you even know know the meaning of architecture at all?


we all know you consider yourself the smartest a$$ on earth and i see your fellow asses are already backing you up here!


so far, you have produced NO evidence of a storey building in nigeria before 1845 but would rather we took your half-assed word for it that there must have been storey buildings because you NOW see traditional architecture in the north with more than one floor.

ElRazur:

Bloodclatt lwkmd. The last time I checked, BEAF no be Nigerian name. Practice what you preach.

No worries, I am calling you Kuluso henceforth lol.

And before you strike back, ElRazur na proper Nigerian name.

this is becoming pedantic.

key word here is Arab architecture?

if you dont get it, too bad.

The ''FIRST STOREY BUILDING IN NIGERIA'' looks so dilapidated. Isn't anybody looking after it? It may soon become the "ruins of the first story building in Nigeria"
Looks like everything is disposable in Nigeria.
