Well, you've managed to put a few words down... Thanks to Education.

We were communicating and transacting with our fellowmen long before what you erroneously call "Education" came!

To enslave the minds of the people. Same reason he brought religion. And just for the records, there was education in Africa before white man came. The first Higher Institution of learning in the world was in Timbuktu, West Africa.

Among the children of Israel in southern Nigeria, they had several Nsibidi writing system and so on. Don't forget, the entire bible took place in Africa. The first prophets and scribes were black people.

Timbuktu was a centre for Islamic education brought by the Arabs! It Is not quintessentially African. I'm guessing you're going to mention the big mosque next? Or Mansa Musa?

Show me the ancient writings in nsibidi, show the cave markings in nsibidi?

Just stop. It was a minor tribe in Nigeria that had this practice.

Yorubas have always REVERED and respected twinss.

Your comment implies killing twins is something Africans generally did and it makes you sound ignorant.

This wasn't a general practise with Yorubas. Yorubas have the highest rate of twins in the world.

And there is a deity represented as twins

They say it's better to be a Christian
Then wait till the judgement day and find out that God is the way, truth and light

I am just lucky to go to school
No one knows the judgement the uneducated will get. .

For someone who is educated, you reason worse than one who uneducated. What has your white man education to do with Christianity, God, God's judgment and the whole nine? undecided

Even the uneducated fishermen that Jesus Christ taught His way and Truth to, back 2000 years ago, knew there was a separation between what Jesus taught and the world of men. undecided

You just went to read up stuff you know nothing about and come here to spew trash. They were Islamic so? They were Arabs ehen? You think they were white? Or you think you can bring that your yeye religious talk here? The school (Sankore Madrasah) was established by Mansa Musa, a very black man. NONSNESE.

The so-called Arabs were black Africans. I'm not sure you can wrap your head around that. Even the Songhai empire and it's civilization was built by Ghanaians (Isrealites) led by Sunni Ali.
The empire saw its downfall with the Arab invasions.

The Songhai empire and Mali kingdom were black civilizations. Don't bring that your stupid whiteman worship here. Today the same black arabs are invading your lands from the Sahel but buffoons are still praying to white Jesus for deliverance.

It wasn't Education they brought but their own Political system!
Education is studying how to go about life and dealings with your fellowman all other things that follows like comes under skills and communication!
As people continue to multiply on the surface of the earth they're developing different systems of communication and skills. For instance it was in Egypt that Moses learnt how to read and write in the palace of Pharaoh (first world's most powerful nation) note that people who develop anything worthwhile will first take it to such places and once the king is convinced that such a thing will benefit his people he will first get it for the royal family then other nobles will buy it two that's why it's only the rich back then that used to have their children possess such noble things as the poor can afford it.
So when the white wanted to exploit Africa the first thing they did was to introduce writing and reading skills, our people fell for this bait not knowing that the white had a hidden agenda: the first set that acquire this skills will work with the white men to exploit our resources and when the white are leaving they'll leave an everlasting plan to continue getting all the goodies of our land.
So they rendered our political system useless so that it's their own underdogs that are ruling us. Whenever they notice any of us that's too smart for them they'll use diplomacy to drag such a person down.
Ask anybody about what i'm saying, when they got to Ègbá land in Abeokuta they were confused because the first set of slaves were from the place so there were lawyers, engineers, doctors and Bishops in Abéòkúta this made them declare Egba land as an independent community out of the whole Nigeria!
That's why you're seeing Abéòkúta people always in the forefront in Nigerian Politics.
So it's not education they brought per say but communication skills and Politics, whenever i read articles from Atheists saying the white man brought religion i laugh hard, because our people already have our own religious settings before the white man set their foot in Africa. What they did was to empower their own religious settings so that those who were under their religious settings can continue handling the affairs of our land, that's why the frontiers in Politics anywhere you go are members of the Orthodox Churches.
No wonder they're always having issues with the eastern world where Islam is the order, today the Muslims are trying to fight back but it's too late the whites are using diplomacy to divide them so that they can't stand as one! smiley

Education comes with stress and anxiety

Teaching a child from small is hard work
Making your child solve hard mathematics is punishment

Education sucks

White mans wicked culture

Life itself is a giant ball of stress and anxiety yet I don't see you bailing out of that boat anytime soon, it seems. undecided

Ofcourse when thè teacher is lazy, teaching becomes hard work. And if you have a terrible teacher teaching a child math, the process will altogether seem like punishment to the child when it could instead be fun. undecided

Life also sucks the life out of you but you have yet to complain about that. undecided
