Balerion:Actually, I feel pity for the dude. He's just one of millions of victims of the white man's lies. He's one of those who believe Africa's history began with colonialism. 1 Like |

hucknall:The same gospel they used to imprison the minds of slaves. I'm a Christian, I believe in the Bible, but I also recognize and admit to the fact that it was used as a weapon of oppression and mind control on Africans. 1 Like |

Balerion:sorry o! person wey them never brainwash Mind you, in 2022, we are still dealing with ritual killings, human and animal sacrifices and kids still get chased from their villages after being labelled witches or wizards. |

obedience4:Did our forefathers willingly opt for English abi it was forced upon them. It was a systemic process. They knew that I order to catch up with the change brought about by the enforcer, they must align with his culture, hence the adoption of English Language, clothing style, system of administration, etc. If we weren't robbed of most of our traditional heritage including our language, we, mostly definitely, would have prioritized Our tribal language before any other. |

treatise:Maybe of your tribe. Many African tribes wore clothes and covered up. By the way, Our weather does not require over dressing. But winter and change of seasons does. White people are not more civilized than Papuans |

She only help abolish the practice in one state in Nigeria out of the present 36. That means less than 1% of Nigerians were into that rubbish. Same area still victimize children till today, calling them witches and all sorts. She did not abolish the practice in Nigeria. A lot of tribes in Nigeria had and loved twins. |

WibusJaga: God help your brain. Do you know the damage these white people did to us and are still doing. Maybe Mary Slessor saved twins in your own tribe. I am Yoruba, we adore twins and even have a deity for twin children. Watch the video below. The white people you adore so much are out to exterminate you for your resources.

WibusJaga: "Ignorance is indeed a terrible disease, The West have so brainwashed you that you reek of inferiority complex...You don't even know civilization started from Egypt - Africa, Yes you heard me right, Google it if in doubt... Africans taught the West and the rest of the world how to be civilized but our ancestors lost it due to this very inferiority complex you are displaying...". Village People Spokesperson. 1 Like |

internationalman: You folks are not really enlightened. What kind of mindset is this. They said you are black and evil and they are white as in the image of God. That's why you don't see anything good in you and you even think your God is white. Or is your Jesus nit white? Even though their religious leaders are kneeling before black gods/images in their religious dungeons. Lack or an hatred for knowledge is what most of you are suffering from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T84ySC70kkM |

Voldoz: Don't be silly, you are just one of the many victims of western propaganda. It's really pathetic what centuries of brainwashing can do to a race of people, really sad . All humans are equal, humans have been colonizing themselves since existence, The conquest of the Europeans just happen to be the latest and was documented. Do you know that before the whites came Benin for example was way more civilized than even the most civilized European nation, with street lights, well-planned towns and cities. the whites marveled when they came to benin, got home and wrote stories of how they've discovered paradise on earth. Do you know that Africa’s oldest known writing system dates back to over 6000 years ago. While on the other hand, Europe’s oldest writing dates back to 1400 BC, which was used by the Greeks yet largely derived from the Proto-Sinaitic, an old African script. Have you heard about the empire of Mali and its indegenous Sankore university where people from all over the world including Europeans came to seek knowledge? Have you heard about the empire of Songhai with its world renowned artisans, craftsmen? Do you know about the powerful Nubia kingdoms. Before the Europeans came, Africa was doing exceptionally well with their own 100% indigenous political systems and was thriving. Africans really need to know about their true history, not the one that was written by Europeans. 3 Likes |

WibusJaga: You get this wrong. It is true that some black communities were naked before coming of the white so also there are black societies that have a good and functional system before the white came. The developed blacks would have eventually taking their development to the others. |

Balerion: Are u saying they weren't killing kids? Are you saying till today Africans don't sacrifice their fellow humans for fetish rituals? Are u saying the history was false... Abeg Africans no try at all. The colonization was necessary and till date we prove them right cos we haven't managed the country well. |
