Sheuns:History is not THAT ''simple'', especially when we are taking about the history of black Africans and their influence on world civilisation. An influence which has been subjected to significant whitewashing. You have to dig a lot deeper than Wikipedia. |
tollyboy5:SHUT UP YOUR DUMB LIPS. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT AFRICAN HISTORY? NAME ONE BOOK YOU'VE READ IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. IGNORANT EMPTY HEAD WITH ATTITUDE. |
1972xy:YOU ARE A BUMBLING IGNORAMUS AND HISTORICAL ILLITERATE, SO STOP EMBARRASSING YOURSELF. USELESS NIGERIAN YOUTHS WITH ZERO KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR AFRICAN HISTORY. IF ONLY YOU KNEW THAT YOUR ANCESTORS NOT ONLY MANUFACTURED TEXTILES, BUT EXPORTED THEM, WOULD YOU TYPE THIS VOMIT? Benin City in 1846 (Artist, Mary Evans), 51 years before the British invasion of 1897. Do the people look naked or uncivilized to you? https://i.pinimg.com/736x/2c/68/c5/2c68c5eec45048acc09b98f39ce2a82d.jpg |
ubimagos:USE YOUR BRAIN, YOU USELESS NIGERIAN YOUTHS WTH NO SENSE, PRIDE, OR DIGNITY. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEARING A GLOBALLY POPULAR CLOTHING CONVENTION SUCH AS A MILITARY UNIFORM, WHICH ALL NATIONS ON EARTH DO, AND DONNING THE HAIR OF WHITE ENGLISH PEOPLE ON YOUR HEADS, WHICH ONLY A TINY HANDFUL OF NATIONS COLONISED BY ENGLAND STILL DO. YOUR COLONIAL SUBJUGATION IS OVER. THEY HAVE RELEASED YOU. WHEN WILL YOU RELEASE YOURSELF? This song's for you: Fela Kuti, Colonial Mentality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC6ouP7qRoQ |

Botragelad:Expected from our resident spokesperson for white supremacist imperialism. Wasn't your story that Africans were running around naked in the bush till the white man 'civilised' them? How dare anyone claim they did anything else?? Poor little baby. Sorry to smash your fantasy. Africans - BLACK AFRICANS - were EVERYWHERE.

Jamie248:''Stupid'' as in what? Why don't you tell us what exactly is ''STUPID'' about any of this? Can't you express yourself? Or does your tiny brain stop working after typing ''stupid'', STUPID? |
iamnotillicit:This is about far more than linguistic connections. If you are not prepared to watch the video and discuss its findings, leave the thread and stop constituting a nuisance. |
More facts: Edo was a village that became the capital of Japan in 1603 when a military commander Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa Shogunate. Edo grew into a huge city with a population of over a million by the mid-eighteenth century. The name was changed to Tokyo in 1868 when the Tokugawa Shogunate ended and the new emperor, Meiji, moved his residence there.. - The title of the Benin kingdom's top military commander was the IYASE. - A 'Shogunate' is a district managed by an 'Ogun officer' of the type that manned Benin's regions. The Japanese and the Edo people have a similar form of greeting which is Domo. Domo in Edo means 'Greetings'. Domo in Japanese is a way of greeting, and it can work as a 'thank you' in the Japanese world. |

Did people from the ancient Benin kingdom conquer Japan? Many Nigerians don't know that there is a period of Japanese history known as the EDO PERIOD, which lasted from 1603 to 1868. The Edo Period of Japan was noted for great progress in administration, architecture, and economic development. Numerous statues and paintings from the Edo Period show clearly African-looking people. Most interestingly, LINGUISTIC similarities have been unearthed between Edo, Igbo, Yoruba etc, with the Japanese language, including hundreds of human names shared. Does the Oba of Benin owe Nigerians an explanation on the Benin Kingdom's links with Japan? By the way, the former name of Tokyo is........Edo. And the national flag of Japan is.. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/7a/d3/15/7ad3150c63bb2b10c57ecace026e5980.jpg And the Edo Kingdom's colours are: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/99/ac/0a/99ac0a4ad635666fb11433fd5927cfd9.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/af/ec/b8/afecb8e10bc4e39cbfe6be96ce1ebdd8.jpg Amazing video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JD8FTP1cWQ&t=1414s |
Zonefree:You are ignorant. WW1 and WW2 were actually European tribal wars fought among their different countries. Over 100 million people perished in those two conflicts. If they were forced to be in ONE country, the resulting mayhem would be best left to the imagination. |
ogascomax:COME ON WILL YOU SHUT UP YOUR BRAINWASHED LIPS THERE. IF YOUR DUMBASS HAD BEEN BORN IN CENTRAL CHINA OR IRAN OR INDIA OR SOKOTO, YOU WOULD NOT KNOW OR CARE JACKSHIT ABOUT MR “JESUS”. THE ONLY REASON YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT FAIRYTALE MAGICIAN IS BECAUSE YOU ARE IN A REGION THAT WAS INVADED AND COLONISED BY THIEVING BRITISH LOOTERS. THEY FORCED THE BIBLE ON YOU TO DESTROY YOUR CULTURE AND MAKE YOU WORSHIP THEM, VIA THEIR FAKE WHITE “SAVIOUR”, WHILE THEY LOOTED YOUR LAND TO ENRICH THEIR COUNTRY ENGLAND. THE JOKE’S ON YOU, PUPPET. |
Jokerman:YOU ARE VERY STUPID AND BRAINWASHED. MUMU TYPING RUBBISH. MR “Jesus” DID NOT REMEMBER YOU FOR 2,000 YEARS UNTIL LAST CENTURY WHEN THE ENGLISH SAW RAW MATERIALS TO LOOT FROM YOUR LAND, AND TURNED INVADING COLONIALISTS, AND VOILA!!!! “JESUS” SHOWED UP! IN WHITE SKIN! WHOM WE MUST ALL WORSHIP OR BE ETERNALLY DAMNED. FCK YOU, AND FCK YOUR FCKING BRITISH BRAINWASHERS. SPIT. |
JagabanBorgu:GET LOST WITH YOUR LIES, YOU SLAVEBOY. SOUTH AFRICA, USA, CHINA, INDIA, AUSTRALIA AND OTHERS HAVE ABANDONED THE ENGLISH WIGS, but have not abandoned the legal system they inherited. THEY NEVER GAVE YOU ANY REASON WHY, SO STOP INVENTING LIES FROM YOUR HEAD AS TO WHY THEY ALL STOPPED WEARING THEM. I GUARANTEE YOU THAT WITHIN THE NEXT 3 YEARS MAX, THOSE WIGS WILL BE GONE FROM THE NIGERIAN LEGAL SYSTEM. If you miss them so much you can MOVE TO UK. Blasted slave with no shame. |
IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES LIKE NIGERIA FOLLOW SUIT. THEY WILL BE EMBARRASSED TO KEEP WEARING THOSE WHITE MAN WIGS LIKE A BUNCH OF PUSSIE.S WHILE BURKINA FASO ARE BEING REAL MEN. |
JagabanBorgu:Stop being an imbeci.le. Indians, Chinese, Japanese etc, do not reason like this your cockroach reasoning. They do not say “Oh because we use this or that aspect of western convention, therefore we must dress like them, talk like them, act like them, and wear their hair on top of our heads!” Chinese borrowed heavily from western technology. Do you see them struggling to speak English or borrow christian religion or Islam, or adopt western political systems etc? NO. They take what they need from outside while maintaining their cultural independence and dignity. Learn from them! Additionally, Nigeria practices Customary Law in addition to Common Law, so we’re not a one-trick pony. |
JagabanBorgu:So the continent will grow if you wear English wigs on your heads? I mean, the way you people reason is so embarrassing. India uses the British common law system, but don’t wear the wigs. South Africa same. The USA same. Remind us again why you think you should wear them? Don’t you know you look stupid wearing a white man’s hair as a black man? What the hell is wrong with you? |

Fortruth:EXACTLY. Self-respect breeds honesty and dignity. When you are coming from a position of indigenously - generated Honour, Dignity, Self-Respect, and Pride, you will be less likely to abuse your position than if you are operating under borrowed colonial conventions. |
Ttipsy:Of course it makes more sense to wear white man wigs in your mumu colonised head. Useless Nigerian youth. Wasted generation. |
Iceberg3:May God cure you from your slave mentality. |
TimeManager:Honestly. I’m so impressed by Tinubu’s work. The man is working. |
Obiedun:lol… One thing that girl failed to realise is that once she goes to a foreign land and portrays her country as worthless, eventually she will be reminded by the people there, that SHE is worthless. |
THE AIR OF RECOVERY IS OUT THERE FOR SURE… THINGS ARE PICKING UP. |
floss:Simple and short. The British hate sellouts. |
Kemi Badenoch is the butt of jokes in the UK after the UK Prime Minister mocked the African for her “desperation to save western civilisation”. The remark was met with roaring laughter in the British parliament, bringing humiliation to a woman accused by many in the UK black community of selling out her Nigerian background to climb the political ladder. The Prime Minister’s witty remarks are an embarrassment to a woman who has seemed publicly to place the interests of western powers historically viewed as imperialist predators in Africa, over and above those of her country and continent of origin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56WwDYrJZys?si=aEa1H3uRdfBzlGHp |
I can imagine Abuja in the next ten years. The place will be buzzing big time, and highly developed. |
