food4tot,

I hear ya. I even think Hero's theory is moderately appealing.

African Americans are really descendants of Jews. It's not unheard of.

I appreciate what he is trying to say.

I just would suggest that it is easier using the bible, history and science to prove this.

Hero's way is a long way to go and a hard way to get there.

Seun,

You should have anybody in Nigeria put to death who takes the exams period.

Aren't all your leaders Educated? With college degrees?

Put the educated to death.

That would surely get rid of corruption in Nigeria.

debosky,

The homeless were working with whites to make the economy of Zimbabwe worsen by having a place for whites to use and spend their dollars and not be forced to work within the Zimbabwe economy.

Mugabe is actually one of the few African leaders who did not slaughter the opposition.

But where is the outcry about those African leaders?

There is none, because whites are happy with those leaders. So you are happy with those leaders.

It is only the leader who disagrees with whites who will be hated, the leader who is a friend of whites can slaughter away as long as he keeps agreeing with whites.

In 100 years, Zimbabwe will celebrate the mean little man who had the good sense to get their own land back to them.

It hurts now but later, they will see it was the right thing to do.

food4tot,

I think the problem comes in when certain African Americans (Hero is not the first) fall in love with a particular place or people in Africa. Then they want desparately to be from those people.

So they throw up 4 or 5 webpages and that is supposed to be the proof.

The written and oral records show the overwhelming proof that most of the slaves were Yoruba or Angolan.

What is being posted here as Igbo history, is in fact being gotten out of historical books about Yoruba history in the America's.

Hero,

Equiano was not born in South Carolina. The confusion stems from when asked on a sailing ship, where he was from. He naturally gave the answer that any slave running away would give: South Carolina. It is the same for his baptismal records.

In otherwords people are trying to use Equiano's words as a runaway slave trying to get away against him.

If you were a runaway slave, would you really tell the captain in America, that you were from Africa? Tell a church about to baptise you that you were from Africa?

Come now.

4play,

Every African leader has always been faced with a dual problem when trying to take measures to reorient African economies to serve the people.

1. Western pressure not to change. This comes in the form of sanctions. Which have been put on Zimbabwe.

Saying that this is Mugabe's fault is akin to saying that the store owner who gets shot by a thief, is at fault for not offering the thief more money.

2. The people themselves, whine incessantly and not knowing freedom, they want to return to slavery, when times get hard!

White people use these traitors to pressure the African people into giving in to the first problem.

Every child in America is being taught that Nigerians are Criminals right in school.

It's a ClassRoom Edition. This means that all schools in America get this program for free.

(CNN Student News) -- Set your VCR to record the CNN Presents Classroom Edition: Identity Theft: How to Rob a Bank when it airs commercial-free on Monday, July 10, 2006 from 4:00-- 5:00 a.m. ET on CNN. (A short feature begins at 4:00 a.m. and precedes the program.)

CNN even gave the teachers questions to ask the children questions after the program:

7. According to an FBI official who testified on Capitol Hill in 1998, what percentage of Houston's counterfeit checks could be traced back to Nigerian criminal enterprises? How do Houston's Nigerian leaders respond to this and similar charges? How do some explain Houston's Nigerian criminal activity as a reflection of the political climate in Nigeria?

8. Why and how do some Nigerians who are deported after committing crimes in the U.S. sneak back into the country? What, if anything, do you think should be done to rectify this situation?

I never said Igbo slaves were confused into thinking they were Yoruba, that was Hero's idea or a website he saw somewhere. Definitely not me.

food4tot,

Alright. Then it was my mistake.

food4tot,

In Africa, have you ever seen a tribe call themselves Yoruba.

For 400 years everybody know they are Yoruba's.

All the Historians write books about the Yoruba slaves.

Suddenly, it's just all a BIG MISTAKE and Yoruba's should now call themselves Igbo's?

It is like saying that Aliens came down and brought Igbo slaves to America and gave them all mind control drugs to convince them they are Yoruba's.
