Based on the articles that gregyboy keeps throwing up and down, it means the answer to your question is No, according to gregyboy our lands where only made up of trees, grass and vegetables, this means our ancestors were only eating fruits and vegetables until the coming of whites eg Portuguese, introducing seeds to blacks (west Africa) inwhich they teach blacks eg pre colonia southern Nigeria how to practice farming and also introduce tools needed for farming I guess, to stretch it a little they also introduce blacksmithing, gregyboy write-up/articles are nothing but an Eurocentric view and also gregyboy is a student of Eurocentric school of thought.

Please try to express yourself with sources and facts

gregyboy:


There is no eurocentrism in my writeup if you're so afrocentrisic then debunk the articles with proves anf not claims

Well said

ghostwon:
actually you confuse your inferiority complex and your lack of education with antibigotry and education. You have no facts. You are known for contradicting yourself in the same sentence, for attacking Edo people and whenever you are not sure of something you just jump to the most insulting claim against the Edo.

Why is it considered inferiority complex to express facts

nlPoster:
Palm trees perhaps, although I think coconuts were referred to on the thread as an imported plant, but Yorubas have a name for it, which would imply it's not?

The seeds can be carried by water, so it could have reached Africa in ancient times.

That is meaningless, as the Yorubas also have a word for mango, despite the fruit not originating from Africa but from Brazil

babasolution:
i read somewere that Africa had a challenge of sustainable foods in ancient times,and that was why we had a challenge developing at the same pace as others.This book guns,germs and steel by p.diamond also explains that.Africa did not have as many naturally occuring edible foods like other regions as we have today which is said contributed to our slow development.

So our destiny was to have been a small population, that is what I believe nature intended for us

compton11:
me too,those niggas Indian are racists as hell and they like colorism

Just like black women

One of Africa's most pressing issues in today's world is our population increase.

Prior to the white man's intrusion and his movement into Africa. Africa's population's was small and manageable.

But thanks and due to the white man's traits of meddling into affairs that don't concern them, their nosy nature and unnatural interference, as a result the white man brought his science and medication and consequently Africa's population has increased dramatically and because of that there has been a lot of stress on the environment and eradication of people's traditional lifestyle and practices (think of the san bushmen, the hadza and the pygmies of the equalateral rainforests).

I believe that Africans need and have to go back to how they used to live their lives prior to the white man's presence and have to forfeit all of the technology, city living and luxuries of the so called modern life, with all of the white man's stuff gone there will be a natural reduction of Africa horrific surplus population and there will be an equilibrium with nature.

For viewing pleasure and further additional information I will also post an online link further highlighting the causes of Africa's unnatural population explosion. Written by a well respected British anthropologist

IndianBwoy:
Thank Gods we Indians dont give our daughters to black or white. Aslong as u belong to our tribe that is sufficient regardless of your skin color.

Ignore the idiotic posters that are saying bad things that is one thing I like and admire about Indian people they keep themselves to themselves, their women respect and are loyal to their men even when the men don't have much. I wish black people could be like that

ireneony:
Have you been to uk? u will be amazed the numbers of mixed kids you find here. Black men in uk run after ugly white women. No wonder there's no strong black community in the uk. The Asians have been living in the uk for so long, yet they still get married to each other. I don't know why black people as a whole try to mix with white. I'm not against interracial dating, but there should be a limit cos too much of something is bad.
It's very common to see 20 black guys with white women in a day. Asians marry themselves, yet they are the richest minority group in the uk. The Asians keep their money in their community. When rich black men marry out, they are taking away the money from the black community.

Blacks that were born here would never claim their originality. Always trying to seek validation from white ...the caribeans are worse, they have inferiority complex. Though they have in the uk for so long, they are still behind the asians economically.

I believe that the OP is a hypocrite, as she only addresses and disprove of black men white women phenomenon but she doesn't mention nor condemn black women with white men. She cannot have it both ways, it is important to be consistent and truthful. I happen to live in London and I equally see as many black women with white men and mixed race kids with black women, so it goes both ways
Actually if you go to certain parts of London one actually sees more black women with mixed race kids than black men.

Unlike the OP I am not a hypocrite I condemn both black men with white women and equally black women with white men.

otiigba1:
me think you will find there are a lot of difference besides a turk and a lebanese do not consider themselves to be caucasion/white/pale. You might aswell unclude light skinned morrocans, algerians, tunisians as white in that case. Trouble is, they do not consider themselves as white aswell. So yes! They are not white!

So... what are they.... They are definitely white, and yes they do see themselves as white

Tay16:
i can bet you a million dollars that post was made by a frustrated black guy tired of being left for white guys because black women are still winning

Congratulations she has a child that does not resemble her well done (sarcasm)

Moana:
why would a decent looking lady with a stable life want to associate herself with a self-hating man whose sole purpose (apart from getting a greencard) is demeaning females who have the same features as his mother?

You can't blame them, they are just trying to get away from all the unnecessary drama you come with. Maybe if you change your attitude and stop being so hateful towards your own kind they might start dating you again.

No woman who knows her self-worth would want to be stuck to a man who will pull her down. Behave like a decent guy and they will change their attitude towards you.

How hypocritical of you you are equally insulting and being hateful to the same features as your father that impregnated you're Mother, you are being insulting your brothers, uncles and cousins that have the same blood as you, no white man has the same blood as you l

sukkot:
[b]brah, am telling you, i have lived in america and england and i can EMPHATICALLY tell you black american men and black british men who live outside london are OBSESSED with white women ( not so much in london because the white women in london are social climbers and would only date men of status which many black guys in london are of a lower status so thats why black guys in london dont date white women cuz they are not in the same circles so the black guys in london chase jamos ) however the black guys who have left london and moved up north or further south to southampton etc are all obsessed with white women. i have seen it with these two eyes of mine. the black guys in america are worse cuz they love them some pink toes ( as they call the white women ). so i personally dont expect you to know about the black mans obsession with white women because if you live in london ( which you do ) it is non-existent cuz like i said the white women in london are social climbers looking for men of higher status which are usually not black men so white women in london are not checking for black men. however it is well known in america that once athletes or black men get rich they dump their black wives and get a white one ( oj simpson did it and lionel ritchie and eddie murphy and every black celeb you know in america ) FACTS[/b]

african boys who cant get white women in london are known to make weekend trips up northern england to chase white women

Don't forget a lot of so called black american men likewise their women have white blood into them

If you travelled outside Lekki, you will realised that black men are the traitors

They are not ugly, stop being an insecure little black dude!

Racism stinks!

How so it is black women that are traitors even if a black man dates out he always returns back to black women unlike black women

ireneony:
according to statistics black men marry out more than any race of men.

Not true it is actually white men that marry out more than any other race of men

I know. Your mum would have gone with one if she had a chance

Whiile you are it, black men do marry out than black women

Not true when you put things into historical perspective and a bigger picture actually black women have married out more than black men

Yujin:

I do agree with most of what you said but the reality is that the failure of a particular race to meet up with the advancement of the times makes it tempting for other races to invade them. Don't you watch movies where advanced alien civilizations are said to attack Earth for our resources? This is the reality. Imagine if you are to mistakingly find a group of primitive people whose fetishes are made of pure gold and you further discover that their land is filled with precious stones. What will you do? Steal little and run away or seek to dispossess them of all the things they're undervaluing? This will help you to understand human nature. They're coming unless we sit up and develop too. We don't have to destroy nature to develop. Technology is so advanced now that lots of mistakes the pioneers did in their course of advancement can easily be avoided by us. Keep sentiments apart and think deeply. China is already positioning herself to take over many African countries and you'll agree with me that they have no conscience unlike the Europeans who Christianity made to still have some sympathy. Anyway, that was then when they were still religious. Note it that there will be scramble for Africa again.

Thank you for your insight. It goes to show how pathetic human nature is

Why I find the Asians better and why there is a preferance for them. Is that they keep themselves to themselves, they do not intermingle or miscegnate with us. They do not interfer with our affairs or business and they mind their own business

Yujin:
The greatest motivation for invasion is the belief that the invaded people are inferior. Certainly, the belief that negroes are inferior still persists and with the failure of black leadership in virtually all black countries, other races will be motivated to invade Africa once again and this time, the land of Africa will be forcefully taken from the blacks. This will start in less than 40years from now.
Africa would have been taken from us 200yrs ago but for our harsh weather. Today, the circumstances has change. Refrigeration and advance in medicine has guaranteed the survival of these races in our hot weather. We're only racing against time. They will surely come.

I do not believe in inferiority nor superiority, it is only a mere label, to me it simply implies a different mode of living. Neither is wrong nor right. There is nothing wrong in living a simple primitive rural life over a highly complex city life. Imagine if Africa were to be industrialised as Europe. It would be hell, with the toxic air and pollution the environmental degradation and so on. I think that Africa should keep to it's natural environment with its clean air and beautiful natural landscape.
That is why I can't understand so called humans and their pathetic, shallow way of thinking (especially women). I believe it is only right for each race to occupy its designated land in which nature intended, therefore whites have europe, black people have africa, Chinese people have China, korea and japan. Indians have India, Australian aborigines have Australia, amerindians have americas and so on and so on. I don't believe idiotic human beings should transgress these natural boundaries that divine providence decreed and ordained

In all honesty I prefer the chinese over the whites

RedboneSmith:


Please, don't tell me you took "ghost" to literally mean spirits/imales/gods.

Ghost simply means the DNA came from as-yet unidentified archaic hominids. It could very well be Homo heidelbergensis as some anthropologists have speculated. But time will tell.

So you have gone and built up fantasies of West Africans shagging gods?

Chai. Nothing left for Musa to see at the gate.

Well said and that was what I was trying to infer as well. I was extremely confused by the response of Mrpresident1, thanks for clearing up the confusion

So just like Europeans, West Africans hypridised with archaics

It could be due to wide spread inferiority complex that is so prevalent among black people / Africans

Interesting maybe he was ahead of his time?

RedboneSmith:

I thought we had stopped speculating that light-skinned Igbos necessarily have admixture.

There have been light-skinned Igbo girls who took genetic tests and came up with 0% non-African ancestry and 99.9% Sub-Saharan ancestry.

I am sorry, not that I am disagreeing with you but I am highly sceptical of these genetic tests, I find them dubious, if I may ask you if light skin Igbos have no admixture, then why do dark skin Igbos exist?

Besides it doesn't make much sense for light skin to exist in an African climate that is hot and humid

Sammy07:



Igbos/Edo/Esan & others are more lighter than the OP.. And their facial looks is different from the OP...

That may be true about there being Igbos/Edo/Esan individuals that are lighter than the OP but they do not form the majority but the minority. Most Igbos / Edo / Esan have beautiful dark chocolate brown skin colour. I actually question the purity of the light skin Igbos / Edo / Esan individuals I would not be surprised to find out they have some mixture

Sammy07:


Who doesn't know that Yorubas like spicy food..
Her facial looks self...and her lips

Igbos/Edo/Esan & others are more lighter than the OP.. And their facial looks is different from the OP...

She probably has a huge or curve hip

Not quite sure what is the stereotype and this belief that Yoruba women have huge or curve hips. There are many Yoruba women that do not have huge or curve hips. I have equally seen many Igbo women with huge or curve hips, so it is not a tribal thing.
I would actually say that most yoruba women do not have huge or curve hips.

RedboneSmith:


When I said progressed, I wasn't only referring to spreading in terms of increasing their numeric spread.

What I was saying in essence was that had colonialism not happened when it did, Yorubaland would have come to a point where the Arabic script would have become entrenched and used to record Yoruba history to the extent that it was used for that objective in northern Nigeria.

Very interesting observations and most insightful both @RedboneSmith and @Macof.
I would appreciate the two of you if you could kindly contribute something to my post I wrote is is under the culture section. Thanks.
