If there's one fact I learnt in this last election,it's the fact that the iboes will continue to envy and lag behind the Yorubas from now till eternity.

IGNORANT NONSENSE SHOWING COLONIALIST MISEDUCATION HAS REALLY DEALT WITH YOU.

There are NUMEROUS storey buildings in northern Nigeria that date back up to a THOUSAND YEARS.

Ancient Benin City was reported by visitors to contain numerous multi - storeyed buildings, monuments and edifices.

The city was burnt down and looted by the British invaders in 1897.

99% of you Nigerians are so ignorant of your history, it's an absolute crime.

No wonder you are filled with self-hate and racial inferiority complex.

You really should be ashamed to be displaying that wretched Portuguese shack as your ''oldest storey building in Nigeria.''.

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).

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!

School dropout. It is ‘had’, not ‘have’.

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.

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.

Lies from the pit of hell. This can't be the oldest storey building while Nigeria is still a united entity.

This building can only enter into the Biafra book of records when they (IPOB) finally get secede and have an independent country.

The empirically and historically known oldest building in Nigeria is the one built by Bishop Henry Townsend in Badagry.

Any other one is a trash, counterfeit, lie and distraction.

Taller Buildings like Mineranets in Katsina were built centuries earlier.

Stop attacking the South West ..... Enough of the sentiment.

They need to compare themselves with and attack the Southwest to feel important and fulfilled

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