LOL.

A simple google search will lead you to Japan’s history.
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.

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.

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??

Well you have been corrected severelly yet you refuse to be educated...

So you don't really know much about languages in the first place

You are just trying to be a linguist... It doesn't work that way

Languages have history it's not just speculation and isolated similarities
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.

Politics › Did The Benin Kingdom Conquer Japan? Oba of Benin Owes Us An Explanation! by Catapault(op):
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..

They will go to hell. I can't give you all the information but that is why most churches are doing their best to take the gospel to everywhere.
You might think that some were born with different religion that's not convincing at all even they are people that are born in Christian nations but yet they don't want to use ear to hear about Jesus. So it's not about where you were born. With all the miracles God did in Egypt, all the miracle God perform in Israel the Bible says yet they did not believe.
With all the miracles the Jews saw they still kill Jesus disciples and asked them not to preach in His name.
COME ON WILL YOU SHUT UP YOUR BRAINWASHED LIPS THERE.

The Chinese, Indians, Japanese, Americans etc did not reject those dresses because "they are colonial relics" this where ur f00Iishness comes to the fore.
They didn't use it because it was inconvenient for them in so many ways, hygiene wise due to the nature of some legal practitioners traveling distances to preside over cases, it was not convenient for them in terms of hot seasons, it was expensive to maintain, some of the early users that rejected it in those countries rejected it because it "makes them look like rats peeping from a hole", some argued it made them look like women because those ages, women were not presiding over legal proceedings.

Then you have Africa where their sole reason for rejecting it is because "it's a colonial relic" are u not f00Iish for rejecting colonial relic while keeping the court and the legal system?
They are all colonial relic.
That's a proverbial case of saying you don't eat lizard but will eat the stew wherein the lizard was prepared.
Pàthètic.


I will advise you to put on a functional bràîn before arguing, so far with your tons of replies on this post, you seem to have a functionless bràîn that's why you keep making Iame comparisons with other countries.



Other countries maintained their culture according to you, the court, the legal code, the legal proceedings has no place in our culture, it is all borrowed, if u are so loud about rejecting colonial relics while maintaining our culture, then you have faiIed woefully when applying that to the court.
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.

The continent will grow by removing the wigs?


I haven't said not to wear the wig or wear it.

Removing the wig solely because "it's a colonial relic" while you keep the court, the legal system et'al is profound f00Iishness.


"Innocent until proven guilty" is a colonial relic, I'm thinking we should reject it because it's a colonial relic too.
Legal proceedings are colonial relic, we should do away with them too right?


Remind me again why think we should keep the Court, the legal codes and system since we are hell bent on doing away with colonial conventions.

The way u reason is a plague to the society.
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:
This is laughable.
The legal code came to MOST African countries through colonial rule, it's a colonial remnant.
The Court is also a colonial remnant but Africans in their profound wisdom think that removing the wig which came along with the court but keeping the court and the legal system is seen as a "challenge outdated colonial practices".
This is why the continent doesn't really grow.
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?

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.
