Fireoflife:
she was ijebu and buried in yoruba land.
Ijebu is the 'Sheba' of the bible.

The people there call that great queen Bilikisu Sungbo.

Her tomb in Eredo, Ijebu, is said to be very long, and they believe she was a giantess.

She is known as 'BILKIS' in ancient Arab writings, showing that it is one and the same person.

At Eredo, Ijebu sits a wall rampart that is so long that it has been called the ''world's largest archaeological phenomenon''.

There are researchers who believe that the world's biggest city of antiquity is buried there today.

Meanings are different. Nevertheless, all languages have a common root- Hebrew or Egyptian
Did you watch the video?

In many instances the words and meanings are the same.

And what is this 'Hebrew or Egyptian' stuff?

The SHANGA language of Nigeria is almost identical to the language of the Mien ethnic group of China, and shares many words with Mandarin Chinese, as shown in the video. It was a direct, recent connection between them, probably 2,000 to 3,000 years ago, not through ancient Egypt or Israel of 5,000 years plus.

The Shanga people of Kebbi state and the Berom people and others like the Mwaghavul in Plateau state, all have names like Nanching, Nanfwang, Yen, Ching, Nantong, Nankin, Gwom, etc.

Those are all names that are used in China and Japan today.

Somebody explain that to me!

The oldest city in China is named Anyang.

Anyang is a pure Nigerian name. We have Ikot Anyang in Cross Rivers here.

Come to think of it, that Calabar language sounds VERY CHINESE if you listen to it.

Something is definitely going on in this world that we are not being told.

As Africans, we have forgotten who we really are.

It’s starting to look like every civilisation out there that we look at today and regard with awe, was actually established by our ancestors thousands of years ago.

It’s amazing.
Culture › Why Are There Nigerians With Chinese Names And Language Systems? by Catapault(op):
I have been studying certain Nigerian ethnic groups, and their clear links to China, Japan, Indonesia etc, are just stunning.

I don’t even know where to start.

I strongly believe that our ancestors migrated to Asia 2 to 3,000 years ago and founded the first empires there.

Check out this video that shows some incredible evidence. You will even see Nigerians speaking what sounds just like Chinese, and it’s their native language!

No it's talking about hunger
Does a white man’s skin turn “black like an oven“ when he is hungry?

Nope.

That only happens to black folks during famine.

Go and watch old videos of famine in Darfur and Somalia. The people turn pure pitch black.

So black that they turn an ash-coloured, smoky grey black, like of an ‘oven’.

If it is then why weren't we taught this in church? Is it that they don't know? Perhaps they haven't given it a thought? Because I found this in a foreign forum while searching for something on Google. Even foreigners think it's Nigeria.
The idea is not to empower you by showing you your greatness, but to suppress you, and make you feel dependent for your salvation on a white ‘saviour’.

That was how the white missionaries branded the religion to our forbears whom they conquered.

And that’s the same theme carried on till today by our so-called pastors. The blind leading the blind.

If not, we would EASILY notice that it’s a book about what happened to the Africans who dominated the so-called ‘middle east’ in ancient times.

That ‘middle east’ is actually northeast Africa if you go back far enough.

Our ancestors were driven from there just as they were driven from Egypt, after thousands of years of dominating the region.

Zephaniah 3:10

“From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, my DISPERSED ONES shall bring my offering”.

Amos 9:7

“Are you not just like ETHIOPIANS to me, o children of Israel, said the Lord”

Statements like this are all over the bible, showing the Israelites were Africans.

Until much later
Most of our ancestors died and were buried here
You are wrong.

West African ships of the Mali Empire sailed to the Americas several hundred years before Christopher Columbus, who supposedly ‘discovered’ the region.

Read the book “They Came Before Columbus” by Ivan Sertima.

It’s filled with evidence and details.

BTW... is Mali divided by a confluence of Rivers? What about S.Sudan?
Yeah, I just added northern Nigeria to the list. The Niger River does ‘divide our land’, so Nigeria is a very strong possibility for the description.

Why una they famz middle east mythology and story book.

The Israelites were black Africans.

Christianity Etc › Re: Was Nigeria Mentioned In The Bible? by Catapault: 5:51pm On Nov 08, 2023
It could be. The description is certainly of a place in West or Central Africa which lie ‘’beyond the rivers of Ethiopia”, ie beyond the Nile river, looking from Israel.

People forming unnecessary saint in this country.

Even the drug trafficking, how many of you that were hustling as youths would have rejected an offer where you were convinced that a certain route was clear, and all you had to do was deliver the stuff and collect 50,000 dollars, cash?

Most of you would have jumped at the opportunity without thinking twice.

Here's one person who doesn't know the difference between charged and convicted/plea bargained. I'm sure you're aware of the saying "you can indict a ham sandwich". There's NO WAY someone like Tinubu could not have been forced out of the presidential race in US
Dude wake up.

You think US law enforcement and the FBI would bring 90 felony charges against a person and none would lead to conviction?

Wakey wakey....

Trump is cooked.

Many of the cases against him are open and shut cases.

There are even some cases where he is recorded in his own voice confessing to his crimes!

The guy is toast.

The only thing that can save him is if he is re-elected president before the conviction, following which he can pardon himself and escape jail.

Niger bans cooking gas exports to Nigeria

Niger bans natural gas exports to Nigeria in order to punish Nigeria for missing payments on its debts.
This is a big deal, as it will have a huge impact on the economy
If they are doing this, it also means they will block the 25 billion dollar gas pipeline Nigeria is building to reach Europe through Niger, Algeria etc.

I think Tinubu may just revive those war plans..

But diplomacy should prevail.

How come this is not reflected in other SW states wherd he has been selecting the governors?

Lagos is not a real city. These are the attributes of a cosmopolitan area.

1. Constant electricity
2. Pipe borne water
3. Good public schools
4. Excellent road network
5. Emergency services like 911, ambulance, fire services, first responders etc
6. Good public health system
7. Credit facilities
8. Credible elections.

Lagos does not have these in the standard consistent with what a large economy should adequately have
If those criteria you listed are what qualify a place to be called a city, then 90% OF CITIES ON earth are not cities.

Even Dubai and Beijing are not cities, since they hold no ''credible elections''.

New Delhi, Nairobi, and Johannesburg are not cities, since they do not have ''constant electricity''.

Fact is most countries on Earth are developing countries, and their cities often reflect that.

The USAs, UKs, Frances, and Germanys are the EXCEPTIONS in a world filled with developing nations, to the tune of 80% of nations.

So your definition of what a CITY is, is highly Eurocentric and narrow, and should be abandoned.

Dude, TRUMP has done 100 TIMES WORSE than what you just listed.

Trump is charged with leading an INSURRECTION against the country!

His followers broke into the US national assembly in an incident that killed 6 people and damaged the entire building as senators fled for their lives to escape the angry mob, all in an attempt to criminally overturn the results of an election!

Do you know that instigating an insurrection is a treasonable offence that used to attract the death penalty in America until very recently?

This is what you are comparing to Tinubu not showing you a certificate?

You people are crazy!
