I don't have to!

But why are the poorest countries in the world mostly Black countries?

Why are most ghetto and Gangstar/hooliganism area in the United States mostly black people area?

If we have to go back to the hands of time, what do you have to say about the whites that invaded africa and raped the black man psychologically. The black Americans identities where stolen forever that leaves them with no better choice but they can do better In my own opinion. If you ever spend time with those guys u will understand their story better and moreover civilisation started in africa,first university was in africa also. I guess we peaked on time. Any black man that believes his fellow black man possesses low IQ should go for self examination.

Nigeria is the richest country in the world.
It is very rich in problems, if you can solve some of these problems, you are heading to be made a billionaire by Nigeria.

Quick reminder. Climate change, poses so much risk to our survival as a specie in the biological chain of living. Example, is the rising sea level and the shrinking of the Arctic, where so much of the planet ice is domiciled. You know what will happen? Evaporation accelerate so much that the rate of heavy downpours, and long hours of rainfall will cause sea levels to rise dangerously, coupled with the melting of ice packs around the world. Coastal city will be the hardest hit.
The ripple effect? We won't be able to grow food, spelling food scarcity, displacement of people from there settlements, animals won't be soared either. Disruptions of communication equipment's around the world. There will be tight competition for the limited available resources. There will be onset panic as a result of these chains of events that started with a lackadaisical act of choosing not to protect our environment.

The ancient Black kings back in times sold their fellow black to white men for a piece of "MIRROR"

And civilization didn't start in Africa, As far as 700 years ago, White people already have the knowledge to build their cities and build ships to explore other parts of the world, They invented Revolutionary inventions that shaped up the world to what it is today!

During this time, Black people were living in hut while practicing slave-trade among themselves even before white people came here

Stop making it seem like white people started slavery, I read a story about a Yoruba woman named "Efunsetan Aniwura" She had thousands of slaves during her reigns enslaving her fellow blacks!! And she was seen as a Legend during those days!!

It's the big debate. Rich nations industrialised using the very same methods but now developing countries are asked to abandon this course and embrace more expensive renewable energy projects. That's why countries like India, China, SA and others are reluctant to sign up fully to these climate accords until they also industrialise.

I agree with you to a large extent. But we must note that at the understanding of climate change is relatively new.
I also believe so much in innovation. As technology improves, the cost of renewable would fall.
Don't forget that China makes the cheapest solar panels and China is among the top 3 in offshore wind farms.
To me, government has very little to do here. Let's leave it for innovators and business. They would always find a way make this work

That's true. The situation with eskom is that it's a monopoly though; produces 95% of SA electricity and it's government-owned. They've been locking private renewable energy innovators out and that's why SA is in an electricity crisis at the moment.

So going back to your initial point, that's why they're doing everything possible to keep the lights on and not plunge the country into darkness - including polluting the air.

Plus something most people don't know is that SA has some of the cheapest coal in the world so Eskom is heavily reliant on it. And just today the energy minister said he's reluctant to stop using it any time soon.

Your ignorance is really amusing i must admit grin

You are a disgrace to black race

It's unfortunate that you have no knowledge about black people talkless of knowing how the world works. I don't blame you sha, this is what you get when everything is depicted as white, you’d think that black people had absolutely no hand in creating anything. They don’t talk about the Walls of Benin nor Timbuktu or Mansa Musa. They don’t ever speak about how Africa didn’t have a Bronze or Copper Age because they’d learn to smelt these materials long before Europe did.

People also love to believe that when enslaved Africans were brought to America they were simply ignorant fools that knew nothing. It’s ridiculous. Africans knew about irrigation, agriculture, etc. Some were blacksmiths, farmers, and even military tacticians. Why don't we know this.. Cos of white supremacists and mental slavery. You are a perfect example of a black man suffering from inferiority complex (one of the symptoms of people in mental slavery)

Just to nullify the garbage you typed, I'm going to list of the black inventions

1) Dr. Philip Emeagwali is an inventor of the World's Fastest Computer. He's a black man and also from Igbo tribe.

2) CCTV was created by Marie Van Brittan Brown, with help from her husband Albert Brown. And they are black people

3) Garrett Morgan invented modern traffic light after seeing an accident at an accident prone intersection. He is a black man

4) Glass was first made in Africa

5) Bradley, Benjamin made the first steam engine for a ship. I don't think i need to tell you that he is a black man and he was a slave when he invented an engine without going to school of engineering. Being a slave he was not able to patent his invention - he did sell the rights to it, however, and bought his own freedom.

6) Burridge & Marshman made typewriter and they are black man

7) Burwell made boot/shoe which everybody is now using including your white masters.

cool Butler invented train alarm.

9) Patricia Bath invented laser tool for eye surgery

10) Although Willis Carrier is largely credited with inventing the modern air conditioner, Frederick Jones, a black man, invented the FIRST portable air conditioning unit.

11) Frederick McKinley Jones made the refrigerated trucks

12) Alexander miles invented the automatic elevator door

13) You can thank Mark Dean, a black man for co-inventing the color monitor. Without his invention, we’d still be typing in a colorless interweb

14) Patricia Bath, a black woman invented a device and technique used to remove cataracts and revive patients’ eyesight.

15) Thomas Elkins invented the modern toilet. He is a black man

I can go on and on.. I haven't even mentioned any invention made by Africans in Africa. Stop saying bad things about my race. If you don't know anything about black people, just go online and download PDFs

All race have practice slavery at some point within themselves. There where European slave starting from the Roman empire down to the Vikings even the ottoman empire was not left out so using it as a tool against the blackman, doesn't hold water. Egypt was the cradle of civilisation at some point and make no mistake, ancient Egyptians where pure black race before the arabazation the Egypt.Before the Ad era blacks where at par with the white folks,they where only comfortable with their situation before the perpetual mental enslavement most blacks still suffer today so it's not fair to label them dumb.

No, i disagree.

The education system you mentioned is the reason why we are in this mess. The system is to enslaved our minds so that we won't be able to think outside the box and also to glorify the white people of many achievements as if we weren't fine before colonization. I'm sure you believe we were living in huts before colonization, right grin That's one of the demerits of western education. They wrote hogwash for you as your history and as expected, you gullibly believe it as if it is actual history. Well, you are not the only one in this mental slavery, that is why many independent thinking individuals are trying hard to help your kind to emancipate yourselves from this slavery.

As for African inventions, I'm going to give you some of it, maybe you will be able to think about it and stop disgracing us in order to glorify your white masters.

1) International trades

http://wysinger.homestead.com/blackegypt101.html

2) Art of writing came from Africa
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1624_story_of_africa/page88.shtml

3) Medicine
The earliest known surgery was performed in Egypt around 2750 BC. Homer (800 BC) remarked in the Odyssey: "In Egypt, the men are more skilled in medicine than any of human kind" and "the Egyptians were skilled in medicine more than any other art". The Greek historian Herodotus visited Egypt around 440 BC and wrote extensively of his observations of their medicinal practices

4) Architecture

The African empire of Egypt developed a vast array of diverse structures and great architectural monuments along the Nile, among the largest and most famous of which are the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza

The pyramids, which were built in the Fourth Dynasty, testify to the power of the pharaonic religion and state. They were built to serve both as grave sites and also as a way to make their names last forever. The size and simple design show the high skill level of Egyptian design and engineering on a large scale

5) Mathematics
The invention of mathematics is placed firmly in African PRE-HISTORY

''The oldest known possibly mathematical object is the Lebombo bone, discovered in the Lebombo mountains of Swaziland and dated to approximately 35,000 BC. It consists of 29 distinct notches cut into a baboon's fibula. Also prehistoric artifacts discovered in Africa and France, dated between 35,000 and 20,000 years old [respectively], suggest early attempts to quantify time.

The Ishango bone, found near the headwaters of the Nile river (northeastern Congo), may be as much as 20,000 years old and consists of a series of tally marks carved in three columns running the length of the bone. Common interpretations are that the Ishango bone shows either the earliest known demonstration of sequences of prime numbers or a six month lunar calendar.

6) Mining of minerals

The oldest known mine on archaeological record is the "Lion Cave" in Swaziland, which radiocarbon dating shows to be about 43,000 years old. Much later on, the Africans of Egypt mined malachite....Quarries for turquoise and copper were also found at "Wadi Hamamat, Tura, Aswan and various other Nubian sites"..The gold mines of Nubia were among the largest and most extensive in the world, and are described by the Greek author Diodorus Siculus. He mentions that fire-setting was one method used to break down the hard rock holding the gold. One of the complexes is shown in one of earliest known maps. They crushed the ore and ground it to a fine powder before washing the powder for the gold dust.

7) Iron smelting
Where and how iron smelting was discovered is widely debated, and remains uncertain due to the significant lack of production finds.. [but] there is a further possibility of iron smelting and working in West Africa by 1200 BC. In addition, very early instances of carbon steel were found to be in production around 2000 years before the present in northwest Tanzania, based on complex preheating principles. These discoveries are significant for the history of metallurgy.

cool Religion

Greek historian Diodorus Siculus. From his own statements we learn that he traveled in Egypt around 60 BC. His travels in Egypt probably took him as far south as the first Cataract.He wrote about the ''Ethiopians'' south of Egypt.

"They further write that it was among them that people were first taught to honor the gods and offer sacrifices and arrange processions and festivals and perform other things by which people honor the divine. For this reason their piety is famous among all men, and the sacrifices among the Aithiopians are believed to be particularly pleasing to the divinity

9) Laws
Stephanus of Byzantium, who is said to represent the opinions of the most ancient Greeks, says:

"Ethiopia was the first established country on the earth, and the Ethiopians were the first who introduced the worship of the Gods and who established laws."

10) Arts
The oldest art objects in the world—a series of tiny, drilled snail shells about 75,000 years old—were discovered in a South African cave

I believe when we start teaching REAL African history in schools, we will stop being inferior to other races - and continue from where we left off before the invaders wiped out our history, and Identity.

Greek historian Diodorus Siculus. From his own statements we learn that he traveled in Egypt around 60 BC. His travels in Egypt probably took him as far south as the first Cataract.He wrote about the ''Ethiopians'' south of Egypt.

"They further write that it was among them that people were first taught to honor the gods and offer sacrifices and arrange processions and festivals and perform other things by which people honor the divine. For this reason their piety is famous among all men, and the sacrifices among the Aithiopians are believed to be particularly pleasing to the divinity

9) Laws
Stephanus of Byzantium, who is said to represent the opinions of the most ancient Greeks, says:

"Ethiopia was the first established country on the earth, and the Ethiopians were the first who introduced the worship of the Gods and who established laws."

10) Arts
The oldest art objects in the world—a series of tiny, drilled snail shells about 75,000 years old—were discovered in a South African cave

I believe when we start teaching REAL African history in schools, we will stop being inferior to other races - and continue from where we left off before the invaders wiped out our history, and Identity.

Beautifully articulated.
I wish more people read the history of Mansi Musa, Timbuktu, Alexandria.

Most people don't know that civilization started in Africa, mathematics and geometry was invented in Africa. The white have succeeded in destroying our memorable history, even our government have crashed history education. Africa is God's own continent, I don't just know who we offended.

I wish so too boss. I believe our people would stop worshiping white people after reading their history. White people want us blind, and as long as we remain blind, they'll continue to prosper and rule over us. We need to stop that and help our fellow Africans leave the slavery they are in now.

No, i disagree.

The education system you mentioned is the reason why we are in this mess. The system is to enslaved our minds so that we won't be able to think outside the box and also to glorify the white people of many achievements as if we weren't fine before colonization. I'm sure you believe we were living in huts before colonization, right grin That's one of the demerits of western education. They wrote hogwash for you as your history and as expected, you gullibly believe it as if it is actual history. Well, you are not the only one in this mental slavery, that is why many independent thinking individuals are trying hard to help your kind to emancipate yourselves from this slavery.

As for African inventions, I'm going to give you some of it, maybe you will be able to think about it and stop disgracing us in order to glorify your white masters.

1) International trades

http://wysinger.homestead.com/blackegypt101.html

2) Art of writing came from Africa
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1624_story_of_africa/page88.shtml

3) Medicine
The earliest known surgery was performed in Egypt around 2750 BC. Homer (800 BC) remarked in the Odyssey: "In Egypt, the men are more skilled in medicine than any of human kind" and "the Egyptians were skilled in medicine more than any other art". The Greek historian Herodotus visited Egypt around 440 BC and wrote extensively of his observations of their medicinal practices

4) Architecture

The African empire of Egypt developed a vast array of diverse structures and great architectural monuments along the Nile, among the largest and most famous of which are the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza

The pyramids, which were built in the Fourth Dynasty, testify to the power of the pharaonic religion and state. They were built to serve both as grave sites and also as a way to make their names last forever. The size and simple design show the high skill level of Egyptian design and engineering on a large scale

5) Mathematics
The invention of mathematics is placed firmly in African PRE-HISTORY

''The oldest known possibly mathematical object is the Lebombo bone, discovered in the Lebombo mountains of Swaziland and dated to approximately 35,000 BC. It consists of 29 distinct notches cut into a baboon's fibula. Also prehistoric artifacts discovered in Africa and France, dated between 35,000 and 20,000 years old [respectively], suggest early attempts to quantify time.

The Ishango bone, found near the headwaters of the Nile river (northeastern Congo), may be as much as 20,000 years old and consists of a series of tally marks carved in three columns running the length of the bone. Common interpretations are that the Ishango bone shows either the earliest known demonstration of sequences of prime numbers or a six month lunar calendar.

6) Mining of minerals

The oldest known mine on archaeological record is the "Lion Cave" in Swaziland, which radiocarbon dating shows to be about 43,000 years old. Much later on, the Africans of Egypt mined malachite....Quarries for turquoise and copper were also found at "Wadi Hamamat, Tura, Aswan and various other Nubian sites"..The gold mines of Nubia were among the largest and most extensive in the world, and are described by the Greek author Diodorus Siculus. He mentions that fire-setting was one method used to break down the hard rock holding the gold. One of the complexes is shown in one of earliest known maps. They crushed the ore and ground it to a fine powder before washing the powder for the gold dust.

7) Iron smelting
Where and how iron smelting was discovered is widely debated, and remains uncertain due to the significant lack of production finds.. [but] there is a further possibility of iron smelting and working in West Africa by 1200 BC. In addition, very early instances of carbon steel were found to be in production around 2000 years before the present in northwest Tanzania, based on complex preheating principles. These discoveries are significant for the history of metallurgy.

The ancient Black kings back in times sold their fellow black to white men for a piece of "MIRROR"

And civilization didn't start in Africa, As far as 700 years ago, White people already have the knowledge to build their cities and build ships to explore other parts of the world, They invented Revolutionary inventions that shaped up the world to what it is today!

During this time, Black people were living in hut while practicing slave-trade among themselves even before white people came here

Stop making it seem like white people started slavery, I read a story about a Yoruba woman named "Efunsetan Aniwura" She had thousands of slaves during her reigns enslaving her fellow blacks!! And she was seen as a Legend during those days!!

Black people lack the ability to visualise the future and can't think beyond their stomach, This explains why Africa will forever be in pain and Poverty

You can say I'm inferior, IDGAF, I'm just stating the facts

So true.
Blacks just have loud mouth with over bloated ego.

Your ignorance is really amusing i must admit grin

You are a disgrace to black race

It's unfortunate that you have no knowledge about black people talkless of knowing how the world works. I don't blame you sha, this is what you get when everything is depicted as white, you’d think that black people had absolutely no hand in creating anything. They don’t talk about the Walls of Benin nor Timbuktu or Mansa Musa. They don’t ever speak about how Africa didn’t have a Bronze or Copper Age because they’d learn to smelt these materials long before Europe did.

People also love to believe that when enslaved Africans were brought to America they were simply ignorant fools that knew nothing. It’s ridiculous. Africans knew about irrigation, agriculture, etc. Some were blacksmiths, farmers, and even military tacticians. Why don't we know this.. Cos of white supremacists and mental slavery. You are a perfect example of a black man suffering from inferiority complex (one of the symptoms of people in mental slavery)

Just to nullify the garbage you typed, I'm going to list of the black inventions

1) Dr. Philip Emeagwali is an inventor of the World's Fastest Computer. He's a black man and also from Igbo tribe.

2) CCTV was created by Marie Van Brittan Brown, with help from her husband Albert Brown. And they are black people

3) Garrett Morgan invented modern traffic light after seeing an accident at an accident prone intersection. He is a black man

4) Glass was first made in Africa

5) Bradley, Benjamin made the first steam engine for a ship. I don't think i need to tell you that he is a black man and he was a slave when he invented an engine without going to school of engineering. Being a slave he was not able to patent his invention - he did sell the rights to it, however, and bought his own freedom.

6) Burridge & Marshman made typewriter and they are black man

7) Burwell made boot/shoe which everybody is now using including your white masters.

cool Butler invented train alarm.

9) Patricia Bath invented laser tool for eye surgery

10) Although Willis Carrier is largely credited with inventing the modern air conditioner, Frederick Jones, a black man, invented the FIRST portable air conditioning unit.

11) Frederick McKinley Jones made the refrigerated trucks

12) Alexander miles invented the automatic elevator door

13) You can thank Mark Dean, a black man for co-inventing the color monitor. Without his invention, we’d still be typing in a colorless interweb

14) Patricia Bath, a black woman invented a device and technique used to remove cataracts and revive patients’ eyesight.

15) Thomas Elkins invented the modern toilet. He is a black man

I can go on and on.. I haven't even mentioned any invention made by Africans in Africa. Stop saying bad things about my race. If you don't know anything about black people, just go online and download PDFs

Ire o

Scam.

All this false claims have been proven to be false.

Blacks did not invent any of those things you claim.

Internet was never invented by Philip emawegali.
