paramakina202: Unschooled ignoramuses and historical illiterates. This was a VILLAGE far outside Benin city. It was drawn by British visitor, Mary Evans in 1836. This was a full 61 years before the British invasion of the Benin kingdom in 1897. AND 78 years before 'Nigeria' was born (in 1914). Benin Village Scene, 1836 Village scene in Benin - a high-ranking citizen with his attendants Source: Wall Art and Photo Gifts from Mary Evans Picture Library https://www.prints-online.com/benin-village-scene-4359826.html As you can see, we had multi-storey buildings, with sophisticated roofing and ventilation systems in VILLAGES before the colonial era. Yet we have this image that they all lived in muds huts with thatched roofs. WHY? We have been seriously miseducated about our past. It looks even better than many parts of our country today. Who knows how far ahead we would have been today absent of colonial invasion and disruption of our civilisation? If our villages looked like this nearly 200 years ago, how might they have looked TODAY, without European invasion? Maybe like WAKANDA! And here is BENIN CITY PROPER drawn by the same woman in 1836, showing multi-storey buildings and monuments. The British bombed, burned down and looted this beautiful city! They just could not bear to see such an advanced city built by black Africans. This is why we say that colonialism did not bring civilisation to Nigeria. It took away our civilisation, and replaced it wIth vagabondism! 1 Like |

paramakina202: School dropout. It is ‘had’, not ‘have’. The two pictures you are seeing there are what, in your eyes? Stupid drunken tout. This is the only forum I’ve seen where you can show someone a full clear picture showing the opposite of what he claimed, and yet he would still deny it. Fcking crackheads or is it heroin that you inject here. |

okigbojihad: You don't even know History. By 1758, the Europeans only trades with coastal communities. They lived on their ships whenever they visited and didn't trave hinterland because of Tropical diseases and hostilities of the local peoples who served as middlemen between the Hinterland and the European traders at the coast. However, after the use of Quinine to treat malaria became widely available around 1870-1900, they started penetrating the hinterland. |

Moral of this story!!!!! Africans enriched themselves by selling other Africans. No one should blame the white man; that's what trade is for. |
