jorion: And this is the truth about everything. This is the reason why Africans cannot think critically without mentioning the white man this or the white MaN that. Nonsense. What is so special about the white man? I think your problem is that you take whatever thing you read too seriously. You really shouldn't because you have no idea who wrote those and for what agenda it was written. You are here giving us history of Africa, have you asked yourself who wrote those things. For all we know there are no ancient writings from the black Africans we can lay hands on today. The letters we use today are from the Romans, the numbers are from the Arabs. The Bible was written in Aramaic/Hebrew, the Koran in Arabic, many ancient books in Latin. So tell me those history you are reading about black people, Who wrote them? PS: I'm not arguing about Jesus with you. By you believing all those things you read means the westerners are manipulating you, yet you feel like you have a mind of your own. |

Whatever any one is reading about the black history today is an after thought because the blacks didn't record anything about themselves. They didn't have any organised system of writing. The ancient writings we know came in form of Latin, Greek, Aramaic, Arabic, etc and all the languages exist till today. The blacks now embraced the Bible and the Koran originally written in languages alien to Africa. Ask a Yoruba man his origin he would be talking about how God sent Oduduwa from heaven. Ask an Igbo man, he will start talking about how Eri came down from Israel. Those things are fallacy because they were never recorded and so cannot be proven. |

mvem: so where is the racism in my words...
You are having been shouting black and Egypt, so did the white man mysteriously made away with the negro man's brain that they aren't productive anymore like building another pyramid as you claim. The problem I have with these people is that the history they are regurgitating was still written by the white man in their own language and letters none of them was written with any African alphabet and they are swallowing it hook line and sinker and still claiming superiority. The black race was never brilliant and it's still showing till today. Whitewash them all you want, the fact remains that the world would still be in the stone age without the westerners. The good health care, tech devices they are using to come here to yap, the organised sports we enjoy, the convenient means of transportation, modern architecture, even our barbaric way of life was changed by the westerners. Yet some lots are here telling us about the history they don't know when and in what alphabet it was written. I pity those who don't want to embrace the truth so we can progress. |

jorion: Like any other community, we had our own problems just like the Europeans also have theirs. Instead of focus on the negative and trying to use that to pull down the whole race, come up with solutions and push your own agenda. Good thing that Nigerians know better now and are calling for a revolution. Las Las I don't believe that Nigeria is going to get any better no matter who takes that leadership position. The leadership problem the black man is having shows that something is fundamentally wrong with the black mind. If you want to contribute anything meaningful to the world, better go and join them in the west just like Emeagwali and Omalu did. Africa especially Nigeria will kill any good dream you have. Few good people might try to effect a change but when the empty ones are greater in number, nothing can be done. Peace. |

You said we didn't give the world anything but the English language is a combination of the metu neta and the phoenician alphabets. You siad we did use the resources we had for our betterment but all the cities in your bible except Rome, Greece and syria are in this continent. Just say what you want to say, YOU WANT TO SAY THE BLACK MAN IS INFERIOR BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY. Even the greatest European artists to ever live clearly stated that the inspiration of their art works were African arts. I don try open people eyes but it seems I will have to wait for the next generation before my message will start making sense. What I'm saying is that we should stop boasting with mundane things. It's like boasting that you have eyes, hell everybody have eyes. The art, ancient cities, language etc, other races have them too but can we boast of their technological advancements? Hell no. Tell me something with which we are greater than them. Some of those things you wrote there are pure falacy. You can't tell me that people that were killing twins and don't even know the cause of sickle cell anemia thereby terming those unfortunate kids ogbanje, burying the king with twelve slaves, and a lot of other atrocities committed out of ignorance are advanced. Infact if you are a twin you need to visit the Mary Slessor grave at calabar and pay homage because you could have been killed at birth. Yes Slessor is a westerner.

jorion: Did you even know that from 1000 to around the period of colonization, Africa was the highest exporter of (1) gold: all those jewelries you see with the queen of England, some were gifted to her and others were stolen from Africa. Mansa Musa on his way to mecca gave out so much gold that the price of gold dropped worldwide (2) salt: the equivalent of oil around 1000 years ago. (3) the largest producers of palm oil. In fact, it was this export that kicked off the industrial revolution and led to the abolishment of slave trade. HOW COME YOU GUYS ONLY KNOW ABOUT THE SLAVE TRADE BUT NOT THE OTHER TRADES? Do you even know how many sea ports were located in the west coast of Africa alone. Ehhhhhhhh. My people will continue to perish. Go to European museums, half of the art works are from Africa. How can you be going to write about European history when you don't even know the history of your own continent. Wetin Europe give una chop o. Now I know that you don't even understand what I'm saying. Trade, language, tradition, way of life, natural resources etc are nothing but nature at play. Hell Africa started with trade by barter just like every other place and later moved to cowries. Every race traded, had tradition, had a language, a way of life etc. It doesn't make you special. What made others special was that they used those resources and made something special out of it. Tell me what Africa achieved with her resources for the betterment of the world. The resources in Africa was so much that it attracted the westerners yet nothing to show for it. The westerners even used the resources to develop their place and Africa was just there mopping. Now imagine if it was the westerners were the indigenes of Africa imagine what they could have achieved with such amount of resources. Oga no make me vex o. Africans were too dormant for my liking. |

On one hand, you are praising the Asians for keeping their core cultural attributes and on the other hand, you are praising others for dropping their ancient cultural beliefs. This is a pure case of cognitive dissonance. Choose a path and stick with it. Then you may have a discussion. But kudos to you for at least knowing that Africans had some form of writing. FYI, the first place where a cheque or something close to it was used as a form of exchange of wealth is gold Coast ghana Your intelligent quotient is dangerously low. Culture and system is very different from technological advancement. What I said was that The Asians did well by maintaining their system and at the same time embracing tech development. The Romans and Greeks knew that it was not feasible to be stuck with outdated civilization. Africans on the other hand lost their culture and system, refused to advance technologically and are stuck with their ancient Civilization mentality. What I praised was the people that maintained their system and embraced tech advancement, and also people that dropped their ancient civilization mentality. What's difficult to understand here? |

That can't be said about the likes of Thomas Sankara.
"There's nothing fundamentally wrong with people. Given a story to enact that puts them in accord with the world, they will live in accord with the world. But given a story to enact that puts them at odds with the world, as yours does, they will live at odds with the world. Given a story to enact in which they are the lords of the world, they will ACT like lords of the world. And, given a story to enact in which the world is a foe to be conquered, they will conquer it like a foe, and one day, inevitably, their foe will lie bleeding to death at their feet, as the world is now." Daniel Quinn, Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit White men in black skin,? Lol bros no dey make me laugh. There's evil everywhere but the black man is evil to himself. It's true that the black race had systems and even developed a form of writing but have you ever asked yourself why those systems and writings have ceased to exist today? Don't tell me the whitemen influenced them India whom were colonized by white men still maintains their Hindi writing, Chinese maintains their mandarin, Japanese, Korea, Arabs, Russians all have their systems of writing till today. Some of these nations contributed next to nothing in the early development of the world but today, they have learned all the technologies and are doing wonderfully well with them. Why is there no surviving African system of writing?, why are the black Africans still unable to join the technological revolution? Why is electricity still a rocket science in Nigeria? Why is no African nation represented in the ISS? Why are many parts of Africa still very much under developed? Yet some people want me to believe that Africans were doing well in development if not for the whites. When we are able to answer these questions, we will find out that if not that we were docile and lacking in ideas yet unwilling to change, the whites would have nothing on us. PS: Those yapping about Benin kingdom, Timbuktu, the ancient Egypt etc. Please where are they today or did they retrogress? That someone built a pyramid doesn't mean we shouldn't develop and build skyscrapers. I believe there's is a standard that the world development conforms to, if you are still riding bicycle when others are flying jets, that means you will be left behind in your state of mediocrity. The Greeks, Romans, Mayans etc had ancient civilizations but are today trying to embrace the new civilization. We Africans should drop this ancient civilization issue and embrace the technological revolution otherwise we would be stuck in the past blaming the white race. |

JUICYPINEAPPLE: That was the reason I started with "if you are smart enough" because I know you ain't otherwise you won't make emphasis to my having access to the internet and then relating it to the down fall of man out of the context of Pro and Cons as I stated.
The internet comes with its good and evil. Judging by Nairaland alone. The negativity of this forum's influences by subscribers who propagate bigotry , incite sentiments, slander as led far further to the tearing of the fabrics of the unity of Nigeria . This is very evident here than the propagation of good ideas to unite us.
"If the black mind was brilliant, why didn't they organise the structure education system and teach their generation of their brilliance".
The chain of this teaching has been broken long time ago, corrupted by external influences such as western education which has made you intellectually bankrupt to the extent that you think so little of yourself for being black.
It is more about the disease of INFERIORITY COMPLEX he suffers exactly as you are exhibiting that really needs cure. Every race is brilliant. Oga you are the one that's not smart. So because development comes with disadvantages we should not develop abi? I can see your level of intelligence.

JUICYPINEAPPLE: The reason you are asking this question is because you are not smart enough to realise that it is not about the colour of the the skin but the content of the mind.
Such innovations were a result of a structured educational system very deep in tradition which accommodated original ideas which developed generations after generations.
Traditions have been watered down and eroded by my negative influences making it at present insufficient to replicate the glories of the past. It is not just in terms of inventions but language as well.
How many of us can say one or two proverbs when making expression in our so called mother tongue. How many can speak without interpolating it with English or other languages of our colonial masters.
My dear brother, on a holistic view all those inventions are mainly an exploitation of matter. It all boils down to materialism which in very essence is the bases of a CONSUMERIST culture we living in today, of never being SATISFIED over burdened with always asking for more and more to our demerits.
When we weigh the pro and cons this inventions have been used for the downfall of man than uplifting him. IS OUR WORD NOT SICK?! Lol content of the mind you say. Well if the black mind was brilliant, why didn't they organize the structured education system and teach their generations of their brilliance. And please stop talking about language and traditions every race have language and traditions even lower animals too. That doesn't make us special what would have made us stand out was if we used our own mind to invent and create a useful invention.

Would I have preferred to be a hunter in an ancient village and risk being killed by some savages from another village, when I could have as well been an engineer courtesy of the white people?

These were soon replaced in early 20th century with improved motion picture exhibition devices, with the first set of films screened at the Glover Memorial Hall in Lagos from 12 to 22 August 1903.The earliest feature film made in Nigeria is 1926's Palaver produced by Geoffrey Barkas; the film was also the first film ever to feature Nigerian actors in a speaking role."

So yes, Ibadan is larger than Anambra State and Enugu state I don't know where you are pulling that 10000km² Shit from but the official figure for Ibadan is 3080km² Which I even doubt because those 11 local governments are tiny and are not supposed to be called local governments. Iwo road is one LG, before you move up to gbagi market you have entered another LG. from Gbagi market to Loyola college you have entered another one. From Agodi gate to Mokola roundabout another LG. From the same Agodi gate down to Iwo road another LG. Who even created all those things as Local governments. My LG Orumba North is bigger than Seven of those things you call local government. Out of all those things only Egbeda and probably ona ara deserve to be a Local government. You think I haven't been to Ibadan. |
