Afobear: so Yorubas and Igbos originated in west africa in what year? could you point me in the right direction to find sources on this information? Its hard, because based on wikipedia I read this:

"As of the 7th century BCE the African peoples who lived in Yorubaland were not initially known as the Yoruba, although they shared a common ethnicity and language group. By the 8th century, a powerful Yoruba kingdom already existed in Ile-Ife, one of the earliest in Africa.

The historical Yoruba develop in situ, out of earlier Mesolithic Volta-Niger populations, by the 1st millennium BCE. Oral history recorded under the Oyo Empire derives the Yoruba as an ethnic group from the population of the older kingdom of Ile-Ife. The Yoruba were the dominant cultural force in southern Nigeria as far back as the 11th century.[34]"

so what were they called before the term "yorubaland" I am assuming yoruba is a colonial term (created by europeans)?

Thanks for responding @haiti13 and @afobear!

Hati13: Do you live in Ethiopia? I have read and seen pictures of black looking christian paintings. Some say that Christianity became widespread by Ethiopian peoples who taught the religion to Europeans. Is there any truth to this? How big was Ethiopia at it's peak? Is it true that at one time in history Ethiopia was the name of all Africans?

As far as North Africans, some say the Berbers were originally dark skinned(similar to the color of actor Denzel Washington or basketball player Lebron James. Some Americans believe that North Africans were originally white people who later mixed with darker people to get the people of today. Who do you think the original inhabitants of North Africa were, who are original berbers? What race is an Arab (is it not just a religion, I thought they could be any race).

What do you know about Moors? I have read about Moors,Berbers and Arabs as if they are all the same people, but in pictures they look different.

Do you think that Ethiopians have recent admixture or did they originally look that way without mixing?

As for the subsaharan term could you explain further? I read this article what do you think of it:http://www.newzimbabwe.com/opinion-34414-Reject+racist+term+Sub+Saharan+Africa/opinion.aspx. Prior to reading it, I always thought the term was due to location only, but if anyone was seriously considering south africa as not a part of sub saharan africa than that would be an issue. I guess in the states there is a lot of talk about africans being "sub-human" by racists and so the sub saharan term can subconsciously denote that idea. Plus there seems to be a push to consider north africa not really african especially in the genetic communities (DNA testing forums).

What kind of education did you get in history? I wonder who writes the african history books/educational material. I am trying to get a perspective from Africans themselves so anything you share would be helpful.

Ochoiho:
There is something sinister in that Aso Villa. The scenario had been either the President, the wife or a close relation die during the tenure of a sitting president. What could be the possible explanation for this. I hope history will not repeat itself. The President might not have done very well but there is no point expecting his death, he has a good heart lets pray for his recovery.

Babalegba:
Do you even understand Nigeria at all.The other tribes like ijaw and the others don't identify with IBO's and would rather have a separate state than be biafran. They were not treated well in the old eastern state as ibos lorded it over them then.That was why fierce combat only started when federal troops entered ibo land .The other tribes were in support of a united Nigeria

bantudra:
bye bye ipob......hahahahahahahaha..!!!...
