The most powerful countries on the continent (allegedly), that being Egypt and South Africa aren't independent of anything, nevermind anyone else. That is to say, virtually no country post colonisation can really lay claim to being dependent. Furthermore, I don't give any credence to the so-called independence process, something that is totally flawed. What I does give credence to is for us to become dependent on ourselves, our laws, our educational systems, our culture and traditions, dependent on OUR everything. That's the true meaning of being self-sufficient, and this is what is needed for us to reach the great heights that we rightfully deserve. Know thyself, remember the suffering and pains of those who came before us and work to make a better tomorrow for ourselves and the next generation. |
My thing is that we MUST dismantle all the archaic and draconian agreements that came about during the so-called Independence process. Apart from our parents/guardians, noone can give you independence. Independence and or freedom is something that you are meant to take by all means necessary. This isn't something that you're given. |
What did South Africa done in 20 years? Trying their best to correct the unbalance in the every day lives of the indegenes. They're still fighting to reduce the brutality and the institutionalised bigotry that exist at the back of the horrific Apartheid regime. Comparing South Africa, Zimbabwe with other continentals goes to show our inbuilt ignorance we have on the happenings in and around the continent. The situation in those countries aren't the same as that of other continentals. |
The sooner we get rid of the malicious influence that the neocolonialist currently have on the continent, the better for us all |
Colonisation never ended, it simply morphed into neocolonialism. |
toske:Moses is a fictional character that was euhemerised into Ancient Egypt. As in, there's nowhere in Africa history, nowhere in the history of Kemit whereby a character named "Moses" existed. More importantly, the story is simply impossible. |
rev2214:You're welcome brother. I will try my best to get you some of those books on pdf. It may take sometime but will try my best. Peace and power to you. |
saxha:When you won't study the rhetoric you're peddling, it's no wonder you're going round and round in circles. Who was John Rolfe? John Rolfe was a colonist based in the Americas, and that's who you are basing your senseless and baseless argument on a colonist as your source for the N-word whilst disregarding the facts that have been presented here, you are also proving to be a Eurocentric apologist. For the Umpteenth time, follow the links posted earlier and READ what all the sources determine from where people such as the colonists adopted the toxic term. Assuming you actually take the time to READ properly instead of arguing senselessly, you wouldve realised by now that the Spaniards began the use of the term during the era of the Conquistadors, then the Portuguese further perpetuated it during the Portuguese slave trade before the perpetrators of the Transatlantic atrocities took over the term. Africans are the first people to inhabit and populate all the other continents as well. That is to say, the communities that existed in the Americas prior to the horrific atrocities perpetrated by the Conquistadors was mainly African. Furthermore, the first use of the N-word by the colonist John Wolfe was borrowed from the Spaniards and the Portuguese. 'It was the first documented arrival of slaves in the Americas, and the innocent people was reffered to using the Spanish and Portuguese words.." https://www.bbc.com/need/stories-53759800 Cease quoting me assuming you are intent on arguing baselessly. |
ghostwon333:Cease quoting me least you want this work. Since noone will put you anti-Yoruba trolls in your place, let me give you the necessary work. I asked you a simple question and the bottom of your flawed argument falls off. Assuming this was a boxing match, the referee would have no choice but to call the 'bout. Had enough of this history lesson or you want some more. I will let you decide. |
ghostwon333:Those in the know already know this to be completely and utterly false. Btw, don't wait on me or anyone else to provide you with the etymology of the term. That's for us to know and that remains as that. |
ghostwon333:That's the reason I'm the historian, and you aren't. There aren't many words in the African languages that doesn't have an Etymology. You aren't fairing well at all. I know the etymology of the term "Oba" and it really isn't any suprise that I would. Just admit that you don't know the etymology of the term you claim to originate from Benin. As a matter of fact, most people who paid attention to the tutors as they passed through our educational system knows the etymology, it's no different to second nature. Go and curl up under a piece of rock or something and don't leave until you're reunited with your senses |
ghostwon333:A weed calling chlorohyll green. A troll calling someone else one. You're a habitual liar and a troll. |
ghostwon333:Tell that to the marines. Aren't you proud of your history. Oh! Now you want to deny the facts. The Benin empire worked hand in glove with the Potoki during those horrific atrocities. |
ghostwon333:You aren't tired of being wrong. Did or didn't the Benin empire colude with the Potoki during the Portuguese slave trade? Yes or no? Maybe you're pretending to forget these horrific incidents. Remember I did warn you to take the facts as they was presented or leave it, you chose to get this work. I also recollect warning you to not allow me to descend on you, that you won't be the same there after, you see yourself know. Therefore, go and sit in a corner and keep quite whilst adults are having sensible discussions. You haven't anything to say for yourself. |
ghostwon333:Here's another one. Kindly provide us with the etymology of the term "Oba". Since, in the face of simple common sense logic, you're attempting to claim its a Benin term, it shouldn't be hard for you to provide the etymology. Go! |
ghostwon333:I warned you but you wouldn't listen. Now I'm going to give you that work that you so duely need. Whilst you concentrate on bastardising history and picking hair, I'm going to bowl you off the lawn. Watch this I spent the best part of my time on NLand praising the Benin empire, yet, traitors such as you leave me with no choice but to put in this work. The Benin empire was a treacherous empire, one of the worst political structures ever known to West Africa. The only reason that Britannica could've falsely asserted that the term Oba is Benin and the fact that Benin Republic was named after Benin when everyone knows that it should've retained its name "Dahomey" or better yet "Yorubaland" given the vast amount of our people that existed there and still does to this very day, was the fact that these were the enemies within. Don't get me started with the treachery that this good for nothing institution led us into, from colluding with the Potoki to waging senseless and counterproductive wars against the very people to whom they adopted the language of their ruling class. The rulers of the Benin empire were responsible for the success that the Potoki had in certain parts of West Africa. From trading in guns and munition with the enemy to actually waging senseless wars on their neighbours instead of uniting and pushing back the evil invaders. You haven't learnt from history, now you want to double back and created a false narrative. It was bound to end in tears for you and your psychotic intervention. Any questions? We will defeat all our enemies, where ever they present themselves. This is what we got from your ruling class in return for bringing them into our sphere of influence. Betrayal, treachery and you aren't fairing any different. |
ghostwon333:Dude go and troll someone else, you're in above your head. I don't see you refuting anything that was said. |
ghostwon333:No, you are a nut and bolt short of a tool. Imagine the audacity you have, in your attempts at badtardising history. Aren't you proud of your own history? I guess that's a loaded question, huh! Shame on you. |
ghostwon333:Dude you're a demon. Dude o recognise oruko eni ti o nba chat ni? Nje, o mo itumo oruko eyi - Amujale. Eni ti o ma nmu ija le, aburo ari ija yo. Emi le nke si yen. Prior to the colonial era, what title did the ruler answer to in your place? Prior to colonisation and slavery, my ancestors answered to the title of Oba. Since anyone can remember, my parents, majestic rulers always have and probably always will answer to such terms. |
ghostwon333:Teach you? You've learning difficulties. Can't noone teach you anything, it goes through one ear and comes out the other. Since you choose to argue something a kindergarten should know better. You must've ducked classes when they was tutoring you these facts, it's no wonder you come on NLand spouting out nonsensical gibberish. |
ghostwon333:"Oba" is a generic Yoruba term adopted by the Benin ruling class, take it or leave it. Furthermore, assuming you actually take the time to study secular history, then you'll be aware that the term isn't original to the then Benin empire. |
ghostwon333:Dude stop your attempts at badtardising history, I'm not here to teach you about Yoruba history, assuming you want to LEARN the facts does as the rest of us and take up the correct studies in our higher institutions. I can teach you about Benin history how its interwoven with the Potoki. Dude allow sleeping lions to chill. I don't come here on NLand to find anyone's trouble. Here I'm at the service of the African and our path towards greater things, don't make me descend on you anti-Yoruba trolls heavily, i will gladly does this for free. |
ghostwon333:You don't get to ask the questions here, it's you whose under questioning. Don't let me descend on you. Trust me, you won't be the same. I already told you my profession, let's leave it at that. |
ghostwon333:Make it make sense. Go and enroll in one of our classes and from there you may learn the facts. Now, bugger off. |
ghostwon333:You reverse psychology has failed you. The only anti-Yoruba nitwit around here is you. You have some nerve. |
ghostwon333:Oba is the generic Yoruba term for King and not original to the Benin, even a kindergarten knows these simple facts. Have you ever heard of Oh-Bi-Ah Oba? The term was "adopted" by the ruling class at the time and remains as so today. So get on your bike, dude. |
saxha:All the evidence (you know the one that eludes you?) proves that the N-word originates from the Spanish languages. You're argument is flawed. |
saxha:According to African history, The N-word is toxic, and due to the toxicity of this term, it seemed vile and wholly inappropriate in many countries around the globe. Prior to the era of the Conquistadors, prior to the 16th century, there never was a time in human history whereby the N-word was translated as any colour including the colour black. As a matter of fact, that term was a made-up term that was used as a derogatory term from the get go. Goes to show you're pretending you can't read properly. I've spoon fed you enough, I'm not going to waste my precious time on your flawed arguments. You're actually meant to read the entire articles of the links. The facts that you're arguing pointlessly against is what you missed within the sources you claim to have read, and is proof to that effect as well. The facts are right there staring at you and you still carry on with your flawed argument. |
saxha:Again that is completely and utterly false. In doesn't really matter if you are going to take to corrections or not, the facts remain unchanged. Did you even bother to follow the links posted earlier? I'm guessing you haven't and that's a shame. Arguing pointlessly without any sense of awareness to the facts presented here. Read, you won't read. Research! You won't research. You find it hard to follow the sources I posted earlier. I'm guessing that it really doesn't matter what the facts state, you just are intent on arguing pointlessly. My advice is for you to actually take the time to READ what is being said here, does further research and come back here to build accordingly. |
saxha:That's completely and utterly false and disengenous. The first recording of the use of the N-word was based upon the writings of the Spaniards and the Portuguese, especially the Spaniards. I've told you exactly who they was writing about, they was recording the expeditions of the Conquistadors. How did that part elude you? That is a lame excuse as I already pointed out the fact that there are in excess of ten terms that translates to the colour black, non of which is the N-word. The N-word was invented as a derogatory term, point blank and period. |
saxha:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-word https://aaregistry.org/story/n-word-the-word-a-history www.dictionary.com/browse/n-word www.lexico.com/definition/n-word |
saxha:Britannica and Washington Post aren't reliable sources in terms of this subject matter. Wikipedia is a brilliant and reliable source, one that you haven't actually READ. Assuming you wasnt bridling through the text and actually took the time to READ, then, you would have seen the quote within previous responses. That was a direct quote from Wiktionary, I advice you to go to the Wikipedia article for the N-word and then come back here to make sense. |
