the moderator 'in charge' already deleted the pertinent posts. so really you'll have to take chima's summary as it is....
Damn, that's too bad. I missed out because my DaRapture account was put on suspention for posting too many pics in the African-American beauty thread. These mods are a trip round here. So they were in that thread talking ish about us again? Damn, that's just my kind of thread too, I'm pissed now that I missed it. I'm fittin to go AKATA up in this biatch now.
Some of the stuff you post is just really off base sometimes.
The Tiv claim to have come to Nigeria most recently (17th century or thereabout) and if they were here much earlier, there's no evidence that they were here earlier than other groups.
The Nok culture has been associated with the Ham people (Ham is the name of the ethnic group) of Northern Nigeria by Bernard Fagg who studied Nok art and some nearby peoples. Frank Willett conjectured that there may have been a connection between Nok art and Ife art and that's about it. The Tiv have their own quite distinct art.
He say, she say. What some Tiv dreamers claim to be is highly unlikely and there is evidence of that, and I once spoke about it while posting on another Nigerian forum years back. Now I do admit my mistake for stating my beliefs as facts in regard to the Tiv/Nok connection. But I believe its credible.
Back in the day I'd of jumped all over this comment of yours and turned this thread into an AKATA hating fest, but you're lucky I've turned a new leaf in my dealing round here. I'm much nicer now than I used to be, so I'll let you slide this time.

kcool2: hero's thread was the best post i've ever read on nairaland filled with facts nd very accurate...HISTORY ROCKS.....(wat school u at man??
It's a shame he got banned for posting information like that, but reading through his posts, I remember once seeing him mention that he attended Georgetown U.
dasparrow: Hahahahahaha You are one funny dude! You can deceive the new comers on this forum but not we the old timers bro. Anyone who was on this forum back in 2006 knows that YOU 'DARAPTURE' is also 'HERO'. You also went by the moniker 'BENIN' on this forum or another Nigerian forum that I used to frequent. Can't quite remember now. And here your lying, scheming black american behind is busy reigning praises on YOURSELF since darapture and hero are one and the same YOU!
Hero was the man indeed! Get outta here!
Angry that you can't dispute his information. It was fantastically put together.
Fulaman198: Here is some traditional Fulani dancing done in Cameroon, I like dances traditional, notice how the men and women respond to each other in dance:
MsDarkSkin: @k.o.n.y aka DaRapture: Back? lol You were ALWAYS here! And if anything you're the idi0t. You don't even know about American history much less black history on a whole.
For the LAST time, the creators of Jazz (Lousiana Creoles) ARE in America but are more Caribbean in culture than Black Americans who have been here since the first Africans set foot on North American soil...which is fact. In fact most Creoles can DIRECTLY trace their ancestry to the Greater Antilles (mostly Haiti). You ever hear of the "Louisiana Purchase"? If you did you'd know Louisiana and Florida were once considered "West Indian territories".
Even to this day it's all the same from food to dialects to our belief in central African voodoo. Even as far as South Carolina, there are AAs who speak a form of "patois" known as "Gullah". They are very closely related to the other creoles of the Americas such as the French Creoles and the Garifuna because of one key element...."THE CARIBBEAN!". What binds a people? AGAIN: Music, Language and Food. So anyway you try to put it Caribbean influence has been in America since the slave trade. How? It's simple. Whites traded slaves between north and south america more often than they did across the Atlantic. Also as America became colonized, more British slave owners along with a few Spanish and French migrated to the interior and brought their Caribbean slaves with them. So you see, Blacks in America are far more heterogeneous than you'd like to admit but that's your damn problem.
You can only try to educate fools, but you can't make them abandon their foolish ways. So honestly I'm tired and done.
btw I do favor my dad. And? I am still Jamaican by my mother's side.
That was the most corrupted and asinine ish I've read in a long azz time. You need to stop smoking that ganja you confused curry chickenhead. Your words show total disrespect to your father and his Black-American culture; you should be ashamed of yourself.
