Name one African who 100% schooled in Africa and can be credited with being among team of global researchers who discovered anything.
Or is it Nigeria Philip Emegweli —who made significant contributions to modern computer research In the early 200s you want to call?
You can check his almamatter in case your brain is paining you
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Emeagwali

do you even know what is meant by Discovery under the legal doctrine of Discovery?
If Na your African papa or African Uncle invent or discover XRay or send first man to space which oyibo claim as theirs,, tell them to bring proof or at least proof of legal litigation suing the original inventors of stealing their work

At bolded i used to think like you....you need to think deeper than this....

ivandragon:
On who' s authority? On what facts?

Besides, you seem to be missing the whole point of my primary post... which is, how have we ourselves been able to do what is right to ourselves?

How can we continue to dig deeper in the mess made by others & continue to blame them? Shouldn't commonsense tell us that we need to stop digging & start making steps to go up?

Again, you are perfectly entitled to heap the present mismanagement of resources on the west... that is your own position even when countries like nigeria continue to fail to do the needful.

Im not heaping blame on the west....im just pointing out they also have terrible issues as we speak....

Truthshotcrazy:
I feel sorry for you because you are very delusional.
I am a trained Electrical Engineer and l can 100% certify to you that All the people who contributed to develop all fields of Electricity and Electrical Engineering , no African is there.
For recent inventions of World Wide Web ,you can see a few Africans there!
100% of the African names you see for World Wide Web, are African scientists who ran away from Africa to the white man’s advanced world like USA, etc. to learn their tricks directly in Their more advanced universities like Harvard, Stanford, etc.
Name one African who 100% schooled in Africa and can be credited with being among team of global researchers who discovered anything

My dear i was once like you.... and i feel sorry for you...u believe inventions are singular and can only be invented by one person... its obvious from your write up that you subscribe to white superiority....

There are researchers in Iran Turkey and Ethiopia and Mali and Nigeria doing more powerful work in inventions.... at the same time that their US counter parts are doing their research.

Electricity and internet were not invented by 1 person.


Finally in case you are not aware Africans are deliberately removed from research journals to promote the narrative u hv become a victim of....

All those 1800 discoveries were also during the colonial period....read between the lines....

ivandragon:
Ok 'beloved'.

Even in China with its tough laws on corruption, there are still corrupt folks.

That you are trying to justify the sad state of affairs in subsaharan Africa with pointing to corruption in the west shows how much you need to learn...

Im telling u authoritavely that SSA is doing quite well....if only u knew how much italians spaniards etc are suffering right now....

ivandragon:
I am not your 'dear' & the limit of your knowledge is another person's starting point.

You may wish to view the failures of your government through the prism of 'Western media', but the reality is what it is.

A politician steals billions meant for developing the masses, we blame the west...

The government refuses to properly fund education, we blame the west...

Security operatives harass, oppress & kill us, we blame the west...

There are glaring inequalities in revenue sharing, we blame the west...

A prospective student from the north scores 100 in Jamb & gets admission, another from the South scores 250 for the same institution & programme but can't get in based on quota system, we blame the west...

When are we going to start doing the right thing for the issues that are within our powers to change before we take on bigger issues?

Before Africans can challenge the west, they must first put their own houses in order...

You think western governments are not corrupt? You still hv a long way to go dear(in a formal sense eg Dear Sir)

Gbam!!!

Gbam how?? Read my rebuttal you guys are mistaken....

D
Which Africa is more advanced you Myopic and delusional bloody Coon.

Who discovered Electricity ? Is it your bloody ancestors ? The recognition of electromagnetism phenomena, is due to Hans Christian Ørsted and André-Marie Ampère in 1819–1820. Michael Faraday invented the electric motor in 1821, and Georg Ohm the electrical circuit in 1827.

Your ancestors Ancient cultures around the Mediterranean only rubbed certain objects, such as rods of amber, with cat's fur to attract light objects like feathers. Is it your more advanced Africa that gave the world NEPA LIGHT? we are all enjoying

Who discovered DNA TESTING?——-Sir Alec Jeffreys, a British geneticist discovered the technique of DNA testing. What will we be without DNA testing? Many false children would be forced on false fathers & lotta more crimes in the USA & the advanced world with comprehensive DNA database of all citizens, would go undetected even if DNA evidence littered crime scenes.


Computer scientists Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn are credited with inventing the Internet communication protocols we use today and the system referred to as the Internet.
You mined Benin Bronze. So? How many things in total did your more advanced Africa offer the world? I blame Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn who gave you the internet you are using!

See you proudly and shamelessly babbling the nonsense you hv been fed. You are a victim of a colonial education curriculum which you shamelessly recite in favor of your masters....

Do you even know what they meant by "discovery" under the legal doctrine of discovery??

Electricity, internet and all other modern inventions were invented by a global body of researchers africans inclusive....

Hv you never asked urself why all the ppl in your write up are frim western europe yet there are 190 countries in the world...theres no way all inventions would hv come from western Europe given there are 190 countries.... thats probabilitically impossible....shine ur eyes


a lot of the dates you mentioned are also funny becos those things were invented centuries earlier but during the age of colonial "discovery"(a legal term not a literal term) - they claimed it as theirs....

I feel sorry for many Africans cos their brainwashing is deep

BigDawsNet:
So if he'll doesn't exist

Does that means a terrorist that kill hundreds of souls we have no punishment after death?

So everyone can commit any crimes and no punishment afterlife

We did not say that theres no hell or there is no God and we did not say that the bible isnt true (thats blasphemy!)...we are simply saying the bible was used by colonists to subjugate minds....

Hell and heaven are real as contained in the bible but colonists subverted them to their own gain just the same way sow a seed pastors distort bible verses for personal gain....

GodsOwnMan:
Use your brain. The colonial masters where working hand in hand with the missionaries. The colonial masters needed a an agreeable society so the missionaries came in to teach Christianity. Christianity teaches 'slaves obey your masters,' 'Your reward is in heaven,' etc. Christianity is a religion that makes the oppressed feel like their oppression is okay as long as their is some vague hope in 'heaven.' Christianity and Islam were very powerful tools in the subjugation of Africans and many indigenous people around the world.

im glad we are now waking up to the truth... and no africans were not living in mud huts until europeans came.... theese are the same lies that were told to the native americans...

ivandragon:
Old is relative, hence my use of an era since i am referring to the late Queen... to continue to ascribe subsaharan Africa's present failures to the slave trade & subsequent colonial times is disingenuous & an excuse for African rulers to continue to fleece the masses.

Neocolonialism exists because Africans continue to show that they have little regard for themselves.

my dear let me tell you what you dont know. 15 francophone african countries is still under french monetary colonial control... anybody who tries to interfer is eliminated....

I was once like you until I dived deeper into african affairs.

Finally, "present failures"-there are actually no failures.... tho western media makes it look that way...i love living in africa and subsaharan africa....

this notion that africa is so bad and europe is good and advanced is inaccurate...

wirinet:
Understatement of the century. Ask student that studied in Ukraine whether Ukrainians are racists. When the Russian invasion started black Africans were not allowed on trains going to border towns and some had to trek hundreds of kilometres to get to bordering countries.

The government of Russia obviously cannot be racist, just like any other government cannot openly exhibit racism. But government officials and ordinary people display their racism, particularly outside the capitals and main cities.

i have one very good ukrainian friend and all the ukrainians i have met have all been nice to me...

Bluntemperor:
But your Ajaokuta Steel Projects is Ill born / a Steel that refused to produce since installation was done in Russian Language over 20 years ago!
Can you imagine if such a gigantic project be written in Yorubas Language.
Russian are your no 1 enemy, know that today! But don't totally blame them because some groups of people decided that Nigeria should not move forward! Shameful indeed!

lol they are not; please dont hate abeg oh...

whytediamond:
What's the difference between twelve and half a dozen?

Colonists consists of armed soldiers and colonial administrators who command colonial armies..

wirinet:
1850 is over 170 years. Are you saying 170 years is not long ago? Do you know the number of developments made in those 170 years? It more than the development made the previous 5000 years.

What is our own foreign policy then? To carry our human and natural resources to the imperialists to develop their country?

Nigeria has a Non-Aligned Foreign Policy - that is Nigeria is not aligned with any super or emerging power.
Today, Nigeria carries raw materials to imperialists to develop because:

1. Our leaders are under western duress those that fail to do western bidding are removed - I know this sounds far fetched but its the truth...
2. Many african leaders are brainwashed sanwo olu recently reached out to france for e-sports - is he not aware of french atrocities on the continent? It is brainwashing....

emmaodet:
Because people, especially blacks are myopic in nature.
I may not have stayed abroad but i have a first-hand experience of dealing with whites. The best part of my working years are with whites and Yes, like you said, the Chinese in asia (filipinos, indians, indonesians etc are atleast good) mostly and RUSSIANS/UKRAINIANS are the worst set of humans a black man will ever work for.
Russians are natural racist abeg. They don't even hide it. Any small opportunity they have they hul abuses on you using their language so that you won't know.
If you do a task right....abuse
If you don't...Ohhhh more Abuse

You sit down...Abuse
You are working...Abuse
If not that the work am doing is paying me well, i would have quitted long time ago. They will mess you up emotionally and psychologically.

I hate Russians with passion. I just want them to checkmate US excesses, aside that, i hate them as well with their white counterparts.
It is not as if the whites (Americans, british, french, germany etc) are better off than Chinese and Russians. It is just that for centuries, blacks have been forcefully living among them, so for a long long time, they have learnt to endure us but Russians/Ukrainians just got freed from Socialist/Communist system that broke down USSR in 1991. So their real contacts with blacks is just recent thereby showing the same disdain the whites' forefathers showed our ancestors but with time, they will get over it. Probably 100 years from now. Their new generations.
The USSR system messed them up big time. They were like prisoners in their own country s after freedom, they couldn't compete with other whites because those ones see them as inferior.
Africans were their perfect people to bully and Boss around so that they can also feel like a king and feel important.
I guess this is why i don't fancy this japa on a thing. Have been messed up big time over the years with whites and not ready for another round because i can't endure them again. I may likely end up in prison one day when i get pushed to the wall and then i explode by boxing one to coma.

Ukrainians are not racist abeg....Russians maybe.... but that is because they are ignorant. But the Russian Government is the most PRO AFRICA SUPER POWER GOVERNMENT. The Government of Russia is not racist towards Africa at all in fact they helped our liberation movement from colonists..... So I take God beg you please dont hate them...

Grandmeister:
Maybe your ancestors were primitive hominids. Bronze and other natural resources were already being mined and used way before the British imperial army ever set foot in Nigeria. The Benin bronze head that is still in their custody was mined and sculpted by who? You bloody coon! The intricate lines alone on that bronze head surpassed anything the British had in their native art gallery as at then

The very fact that british troops took back hundreds/lots of benin bronzes proves they had never seen it before and they were the savages....

Our soldiers had armor and ammunition then to defend the land but they were unfortunately overpowered becausz the colonial states had ganged up together.... today they are still ganged up under NATO

jojothaiv:
Before Christianity came into Nigeria or let me say some part of Africa remember the Abyssinian and the Nubians world have come in contact with the early fathers of the faith, so tell me what happen before they came in contact?

It was a simple something, religion is man made and man will always find a belief system that suit him with or without influence from the white man world, a case is what still happens in Zuru till date, you'd see a family of Muslim, Christian and traditionalists existing under one roof.

As for the afterlife, why not leave that to every individual to find out what happens next once death knocks.

The notion that the missionaries were all european was false.... Ethiopia is more Christian than uk... Ethiopia is even mentioned on the bible and egypt too...we have been told so many lies...

TenQ:
Colonial masters didn't introduce Christianity, Christian Missionaries did!

Very nice distinction...and all Christian missionaries that came were not from Europe...some must have come from egypt ad Ethiopia as there were Christians there even from bible times....

BRATISLAVA:
If Africans taught the British mining, why are the British lords over Africa? Where is the mining technology your ancestors taught them?

Yes, the script was rewritten by the truly advanced people. Why are your villages not advanced till date, so much that you're trying as much as possible to meet up with the Western village ideals?

This Afrocentrism is pathetic and it's not helping Africans in any way. Just be honest, colonialism was a good thing.

Have you heard of British Columbia? In Canada? British Columbia was native land...after it was forcefully taken over, it was named british Columbia. Just Google : "Indian Residential Schools British Columbia" to understand what happened.... in those schools children were taught they were savages until Europeans came and showed them light....

Years later between 1856 and now they came to play the same script in Nigeria/Africa- that Africans were living in mud huts until europeans came and showed you light - a script you hv swallowed hook line and sinker....

But let me answer your questions:

1. Britain is a poor imperial state. They are no longer lords over africa...Africa has new partners now...its like you dont read african politics- try to be reading africanews.com....the only remaining british stronghold in africa now is South Africa...

2. The mining technology my ancestors from Mali taught them is contained in the Timbuktu manuscripts.... it was news of gold wealth in mali that attracted the british during mansa musa and Malian empire... i feel sorry for you cos i was once brainwashed like you about african histoty and CNN and BBC dont help mattters....

3. They are not more advanced africa is more advanced and they know it.... but before they come they hv to make you feel less of urself and convince you you are inferior by telling u a false history of urself

BRATISLAVA:
When you were left with your gems, did you know they had any worth until they came to mine them? If the British didn't come to teach you mining and collect their reward for that, you would have all your ore underground and still be fighting chimps in the forests of the great wild for dibs on caves to sleep in.

You people act as if you had anything doing with gems you couldn't even mine or refine. As if you had the civilization shown to you. As if your villages that haven't seen British colonialism are by far better than the West. You're currently stealing their resources and development and looking for how to get into their lands.

Maybe if they deport you all back to Africa and keep you out, you will be as better off as you think.

Africa taught the British savages mining. Where did they learn to mine what they dont have from? Use your head for once....you hv fallen victim to a colonial script from imperial college london. I told you before to google "Timbuktu manuscripts" that's enough evidence we taught them.

Our villages did much better and are more advanced that british villages....i was in one british village called sawston recently- and my village is more advanced than it.

You are suffering from the effect of erasure of your history and cultural identity (with lies) with the eventual goal of assimilating you into britishness where you regard british as God and they have already succeeded.

New York today was not really new york. Colonists renamed it after York in england to erase the history of the natives... once their history was erased they are then told in schools they were savages until the europeans came to north america to show them how to mine and "civilized" them etc....same thing they told you....open ur eyes bro

I wish you well...

ivandragon:
Majority of African rulers have stolen more than twice the value of that crown...

The late Queen represented an old era, what are we doing to build a new one for ourselves?

No it doesnt represent an old era...1850 is not that long ago....

Moreover imperialists imperialism is their foreign policy....

orion7:
British people sha Well. All the monies made during colonialism dint just disappear it went into their society nhs budget is 100 billion pounds. That’s more than our entire budget for years. Just thier health ministry o

. It was common for most British people to say I have a family member working in Nigeria Ghana. India. Egypt Gambia etc. all over the world. During colonialism. Before almagamation they had underground train tracks with almost modern trains , while they built coal trains for Africans and Indians They exploited everything. In fact as founding members of UN. and other financial institutions they made it hard for countries to get assess to finance, if any, these finance loans comes with weird clauses like thier engineers or companies do the construction etc

They watched on as Rwanda killed themselves. Them and France oversaw the killing of prominent Africans All them lumumba, Sankara ,khadafi Them and Americans exploited the most beautiful place in the world “the Congo” they turned the country inside out. They saw Mobutu do what he did nothing happened



Inall these they are far better than Asians. Asians treat Africans with utter brazen contempt.
When I lived in Bristol I saw an Asian man hit a little black kid maybe aged 10 or so. I challenged the situation immediately. He feigned apology the moment he saw the type of car I alighted from. Anyways I made sure the police came. But this is something you can’t stop he will do it again or some other Asian will. But they won’t dare hit other Asians or whites, never. Rich Niger or poor nigger. You re still a nigga

After living and staying abroad you only know that our only point of rally is our skin colour. We must unite and build a strong nation. People like Buhari lawan etc have no business leading. Because they re weak. The Chinese have puppet govt in Pakistan Bengali Nepal and may African countries now. The Chinese can just wake up tomorrow to burn Nigeria to the ground. We can’t protect our selves. If no country comes to our aid that’s it. They will burn Nigeria while we squabble between youruba and Igbo. In the eyes of foreigners they only see the black skin.

I wonder how people don’t know this.

They are not better than Asians...they are just subtle about theirs....

Peter Obi is an ethnic project. People don’t want to even be objective when defending him as he doesn’t proffer solution on many occasions

In the spirit of objectivity, how many solutions has Tinubu proffered so far?

sonofthunder:
Can you list 5 practical solutions PO gave in his interview? Like exact process of approaching an issue. Not the typical method of throwing needless and false statistics, repeating the problems or saying "you have to solve security, you have to provide jobs".


How will he practically solve 5 of the problems confronting Nigeria?

He is not obliged to give his solutions to CNN....

Hmmm, it's getting to one year now that I tried to do this from Cashcraft to Morgan Capital...After undergoing the stress of all their requirements it is yet to be done.

I made inquiries from my broker today about your case... most likely Cashcraft are the ones that do not want to transfer it because they do not want to lose you tho I could be wrong... I was also told that CSCS does not typically induce delays into this process....but please make your own findings...

What do you mean - when offender has gone to jail? Why so draconian?? What has happened to politicians who stole our Commonwealth and Left us in abject poverty.
The law should not be segregated. The poor and the rich should be treated equally.

Shut up your mouth there no body stole "our" common wealth and left "us" in abject poverty...

5 years ago my friend drove against traffic and knocked down a father of four who was on his way to buy bread for his family.The man died on the spot,my friend was almost lynched but God intervened and the police were right on time to take him away..Next day my guy was out already living like nothing happened ..

Did you make this story up?

Alphafeezay:
Breaking traffic rules is like committing murder

one way driving is attempted murder.
