Amujale:
The notion that Africans sold other Africans into slavery is the biggest lie in all of human history.

All the blame of slavery and colonisation lies squarely at the feet of Christianity and Islam.

It was the Arabian fundamentalist and Eurocentric warmongers that were doing the trading, not Africans.

How old are you?

These horrific incidents haven't been that long ago.

The Transatlantic slave trade xisted up until the 1900's, whilst colonisation continues today.

My advice is for you to go and throw all the nonsense you've been reading in the thrash can and pick up proper history textbooks.

Same lame thoughtless talk.

Even African historians and scholars confirm that it was Africans who sold there own people as slaves.

It is also a fact that Europeans trade and contact with Africans were limited to the coast till late into 18century when the Europeans started going further.

All this are facts recorded and agreed by all except naive confused people like you.

There are several nations who were colonized and they are doing very well only black nations fail and blame colonization for it.

Amujale:
Who are the 'we' that you're referring to?

You aren't Nigerian, you're a Eurocentric wannabe.

Anyone who can read already knows for a fact that the Arabian fundamentalist and Eurocentric warmongers perpetrated slavery and colonisation precisely to take advantage of our natural resources.

And such is still the situation today.

The main reason that us aren't developing any of our natural resources to the full potential is mainly due to Neo-colonialism.

They set all the standards that our political class simply follows.

We can blame our political class all we want (and rightfully so) however the real problem are the colonialist that appear to have left after so-called Independence but really didn't and simply morphed into neo-colon

Another naive and thoughtless comment.

Which standards did they set?

You just forge crap out of thing air to please your delusion.

Why not accept the fact that Africans are too dull to know resources they have except for the west who educated them and showed them what it can be used for.

Was it the west that destroyed Nigeria steel industry or our corruption and poor management skills?

Amujale:
That's the wrong question to be asking.

The correct question is as thus,

Who is mining the oil and why?

The colonialist have been exploiting the continent for over 1000 years and it still continues today.

Ask yourself the question, why is it that Nigeria's oil isn't being minned by Nigerians? I guess that thought has never crossed your mind as you're engrossed in spreading malicious propaganda.

Why is it that foreign companies such as Shell, Chevron e.t.c are the ones mining our oil?

Why is it that Nigerians arent being allowed to invest in our own natural resources?

Why is it that not one single Nigerian individual based companies own their own fair share of oil wells and the right to mine our own oil?


Why is it that foreign companies own all the rights to mine our oil?

Why isn't DRC's coltan being mined for the benefit of the Democratic Republic of Congo?

DRC produces 80% of the world's Coltan, and yet the country isn't one of the richest in the world, why?

Almost everyone in the world owns a mobile phone and yet such statistics doesn't change where DRC are on the list of richest countries.

Are you that naive?

The question you should ask yourself is do Nigerians have the skill required to exploit Crude oil if not for western education and colonization?

For your information there are thousands of Nigeria working in different areas of the oil industry.


I know many of them personally.

Don't tell me you do not know the difference between exploitation and foreign investment.

Even in US and western nations there are multinational firms there mining there resources.

Saudi Aramco has businesses in US, is that what you call exploitation?

Its obvious you are ignorant of what you are saying.


How much do you think is the cost of drilling a Wildcat well?

Last time I checked there are hundreds of Nigerian owned oil exploration firms exploiting our oil.

All of them still depend on western technology.

You made reference to Congo and Coltan.

The question should ask yourself is why is Dubai,Qatar and other oil producing nations rich why African oil producing nations are still poor.

The answer is low IQ , poor governance and corruption that's the reason why Congo is very poor despite there wealth not exploitation.

Amujale:
You are poorly read on history, and it shows.

During the Transatlantic slave trade, where were most of the ship's that was transporting stolen Africans heading?

For example, the first slave ship to touch down on American shores was called "Jesus"

And that's a well known fact.

Furthermore, it's also a well known fact that the "industrialisation age" was built off the back of the Transatlantic slave trade.

Go and research Jim Crow because that WAS colonisation.


In a nutshell, the Transatlantic slave trade and Colonisation were the worst attrocities in all of human history.

America were one of the worst colonisers in human history.

So the transatlantic slave trade made America rich?

You are amusing.


Since it was called trade why did Africans not use the proceeds they got from selling their own people to develop themselves?

Mind you Liberia and Ethiopia were never colonized.

Amujale:
You are a dunce.

Go and learn to READ.

Assuming you hadn't been taught about slavery and colonisation on this thread already, I would presume you're ignorant.

But since you refuse to learn then that's on you.

You ask for evidence and such is provided to you and then you say you don't want to watch or read about the proof that you sought.

You are a complete waste of time.

Don't quote me unless you have something sensible to say.

It's that clear enough for you, or you need further clarification?

For all your boldness and claim that African resources are been exploited you can not give one single example or evidence.


For example in Nigeria we have Iron ore and Coal that are not in any way been developed to there potential.
The question is Why?

is it because the West do not need Coal and Iron ore again?


The oil mined in Nigeria is the revenue paid to the West or to Nigerian government account?

you seem to be a kid or you are an adult that reason like one.

Give me facts not wish full thinking.

Amujale:
It's you that's confused and deluded.

When you find it difficult to comprehend history.

What have you learnt from the video I posted earlier?

What have you learnt from all the contributors on this thread?

My advice is for you to go and read a proper history textbook and quit trolling.

Go back and read all the evidence on this thread, or have you reading difficulty?

Learn how to READ, and when you've done that, then provide us with what it is you are actually disputing.

I don't watch or listen to Video of dumb and naive people.

Was Roman and Greek empire built from resources in Africa?


US is the World richest nation yet it never colonized any African nation.

Can you explain to me how the became great? don't tell me it was slaves that made US great.

The same slaves that failed in Liberia and Haiti and every black dominated nation.

Amujale:
According to history, the Arabian fundamentalist and Eurocentric warmongers have been exploiting the continent far back as the first millennium.

There were three major slave trades that occurred on the continent that was perpetrated by both the adherents of Christianity and Islam, namely.

The Arabian slave trade also known as the transaharan.

The Portuguese slave trade

The Transatlantic slave trade which later led to colonisation.

All those horrific incidents lasted for a period in excess of 2000 years.

Precisely as the lady in the video put it, all the things that the West has, they got directly from the continent by ways of exploitative measures, stealing, looting, murder, desecration and plunder.


Furthermore, colonisation never ended it simply morphed into neo-colonialism, and that is the situation as it stands today.

Clown.

A slave trade that involved Africans kidnappings and selling their own people to Arabs and Europeans.

Why are you running away from the facts?


Show or give me facts of the resources in Africa that are been mined without due payments to the government of that country.

Amujale:
Go and pick up a proper history textbook.

The fact that Eurocentric adherent have been exploiting the continent in excess of 500 hundred years isn't an opinion but a fact.

You're poorly read on history.

When you finding it hard to distinguish opinions from facts. It's no wonder you come up with all the false narratives and malicious propaganda that you continue to perpetuate.

According to history, Arabian fundamentalist and Eurocentric warmongers have been exploiting the continent for over a milenia.

You are too naive to understand reality.

You claim Africa is been exploited, and my question is how and why. if you can not give me facts and evidence of the exploitation than you are deluded and confused.

Give me facts name the resources, country, and how it is been exploited.

Amujale:
And so, the source from all the nonsense you've come up with is someone else's opinion?

An opinion?

It's you that is devoid of sense.

When you attempt to argue blindly against the facts by quoting an opinion from another random mzungu.

Go and find something worthwhile doing instead of trolling.

Perhaps start by picking up a proper history textbook and quit spreading malicious propaganda.

Watch the video below and receive some sense into your vicera.

The interview given by the lovely author and academic Ama Ata Aidoo.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDIXLZaC7ws

And the one you are quoting is your opinion?

I never knew you were born 400hundred years ago.

Agboriotejoye:
See how superstition is killing people. The first one seems to be suffering from epilepsy while the second one seems to have polio.

Atheist spotted.
If you doubt it why not go and spend a few days there.

Backward people.

Later when Idiot will tell us that Colonization was a bad thing and that our tradition is the best.
Backward people.

NWO.

Amujale:
It's you that is delusional.

Go and find something interesting doing, perhaps go and observe Sunrise or Sunset.

I will end your trolling career.

Read and understand if you have sense.

Jdbrasco2:
He disguised to elude the police and not to pin it on black man as that's not even possible with proper investigation. But the question is, why will someone kill the mother of his child? Uxoricide is becoming prevalent in the western world especially the US and I believe it has something to do with their legal system which put the men at a disadvantage. May be a child support gone wrong. Not supporting the crime thou.

You are the only one who have said something reasonable the rest are naive BLM supporters.

omoyankee3:
He knew that if witnesses saw a black man, the police wont bother to investigate because the black man is always assumed to be guilty, even for imaginary crimes.

Thousands of blacks are in prison for crimes they never committed. It's a good thing the detectives did their job this time, else a blackman with beards would be in prison now.

Keep reciting liberal lies.

Shameless people.

Why are they not crying "Black Lives matter"
Is it becos this is black on black murder?

lamalama:
this is lagos not moscow

In Trump's voice "Shithole"

chibuzorAbia:
Stop finger pointing the government, they are human beings. Start studying the Nigerian people, the traders, the landlords, transporters, marketers, dishonesty, lying, lawlessness, stealing, ........the problems in this country are caused by the people!

Ok, “EDO no be Lagos”, will anything change in rotten, backward EDO?

Black people to be precise.

Rosskii:
NO WE DON'T.

That is what you ignorant people need to understand.

US annual budget - 7.6 trillion dollars

UK = 1.6 trilion

France = 1.8 trillion

Germany = 2.1 trillion

South Africa = 125 billion

Nigeria = 35 billion

You are ignorant morons to think we are a 'rich country' by virtue of the oil wealth.

If we had only 5 million people like UAE, then we would be quite rich. But with 200 million people? Nahh.

The oil income is grossly insufficient.

Our Number 1 task is Diversification to raise govt revenues.

Is good for one to acknowledge there Class or level.

letu:
When we say tradition tradition tradition or even traditional religion.... Are you aware that there's pure Bantu/ negro worship that is without bowing down and offering sacrifices to idols? That's what the Most high Himself gave us. Worship doesn't have to involve idols to be powerful.

All that Idolatory, our ancestors learnt from other nations (Egypt, Nubia, Kush etc.) as they migrated through the continent. And YISOLELE (ISRAEL) is still unwilling to REPENT.

The Most High has always been against the making or worship of idols, whether wood, stone, men or ancestors and he's not about to change. He alone deserves worship.


I wonder? it's nothing but all the same old black African Traditional Spiritual concepts
which is older than Christianity, Judaism and Muslim welll just try and reason.

You are confused.

Dumb lazy gods.

The European God gave them knowledge of Aerospace, electricity, Computer ,automobile, rocket ,trains,skyscrapers name it the list is endless.

Why this lazy gods could not even protect the Africans from the Superior White man and his God.

Why is it that this dumb gods just like our poltictians will only be demanding and cannot give anything in return. e.g human sacrifice

I hope all of those advocating for the revival of our traditional religion will not shy or run away when the gods request that they should be offered as human Sacrifices.

peterantai:
I consider it stupid when I see nairalanders post this photo of xi jinping and that bullshit written there. It shows the extent at which most of us are ignorant of what's happening in China. COMMUNISM Is pure religion and a bad one at that. Don't deceive yourself.

You dey mind the naive idiots.

Communism is a religion promoted by the Elites in order to achieve One World Government.

The truth is there are no real Atheist just wannabes.

sayso:
He is not dirty but black. You see why black lives matter can't work,cos we hate the site of black. If he is white now, you will say why this fine guy now?.

You too naive to see the truth without bringing racism to it.
Are you that Inferior?

Everyone who has eyes can see that the dude looks unkept and dirty.
from unkept beards to hair.

It has nothing to do with his skin colour or race. quit been a clown.

BUSHHUNTER:
Nigeria police examine fingerprint on fire extinguisher?

Lol.....

Its possible considering that we have a mobile phone network data base that has details and thumb print of registered people.
Also the BVN data base can be used to do that.

jesmond3945:
he is right.

Who is right me or Him?

ajl:
Though it's not acceptable to outrightly state that there is no Covid-19 in Nigeria. But there is some sense in what he is saying because government officials and selected hospitals are using Convid-19 to fleece the system. Look at the case of the UK based woman that has been detained for over 40days in Kogi under the pretext that she has Covid-19 even though they refused to show her results of the three tests they did on her. Dokpesi also claimed he did not see the result of his test. I also heard the story of an elderly woman who went to the hospital to remove fish bone stuck in her throat only for the doctor to insist that she must be tested for Convid-19, for which they claimed she was positive. Even in America and few other western countries the hospitals are using Covid-19 to fleece taxpayers as doctors are being forced to record cause of every death as Covid-19 because treating each Covid-19 patient will fetch the hospital extra $13,000, and if the patient is put on a ventilator, that fetch extra $39,000.

There is scam all over the place.

Very Much on point.

The actual deaths from civic is much lower than it is estimated globally.

Its been used for political gains.
