You need to chill out with this ancient Egypt thing, sub saharan Africans have nothing to do with Egypt or the pyramids, some west Africans had not figured out the concept of the wheel by the 19th century. I suppose you'll tell me you're a direct descendant of king tut. Further more, Ethiopian DNA suggest heavy european admixture from thousands of years ago.

Egypt was black, not Arab. Stop being ignorant. The Afro-Asiatic people of Africa which includes the Hausa are part of this family.

Why would Ethiopian have European blood when Africa is the home of humanity? Europeans descended from Africans. We were on this Earth first. Africa has a highest genetic diversity than any continent in the world. Africa is the cradle of humankind.

I know I am not some descendant of some Egyptians. My people have been in this regions for thousands of years. We are the precursor to the Bantu who spread throughout Africa.

And like I said, learn African history before you make such erroneous statements.

sage:
You proved my point (Most parts of Africa needed external influence in order to read or write)

Arabic was also introduced to to parts of Africa before those parts could read and write either.

Only parts of Ethiopia could develop literacy on their own


Forget the Egypt argument its a dead horse

It does not matter if Europeans stole from Chinese. What matters is that they engineered a way of life that became better than anything humans had ever seen before.

Nobody stopped Africans from stealing from Chinese people and pioneering the best way of life for humans. Constant complaining about others does not help us at all


Benn, Yorubaland etc were simple societies. How far where they going to get without literacy?

I hope you can understand this, but the Europeans needed to steal from others. Do you want to know why? Europe is resource POOR! That is why they had the urge to travel the world. We Africans did not have to travel the world to get our resources, because everything we had is in Africa.

Who is complainant about others? Simply saying that Africa was a much better place when we had our own kingdoms, cities, and countries. Now you see Africans killing fellow Africans over resources. Tell me how colonialism has benefited Africans!

You are just being ignorant and hating your people and yourself which is sad indeed.

Look at what Africans were able to create prior to the European invasion and conquest!

And now look at what we create! Nothing!

sage:
I think we are far far far better off

For one I think all of us prefer to be literate than illiterate. Me and you are doing something our forefathers could not have done and had no concept of till the Europeans came and taght us how to write out our own thoughts.

I value western invention and civilization, one of which is the computer and the internet that we are currently using over any of the lifestyle of our forefathers

How can you say that we are far better off? Look at how most of the countries they created in Africa are failing, because they created states that had no business being together. They did not care about the ethnic boundaries and kingdoms that made up the Congo. Why is DR Congo so big while Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda so small.

My forefathers may not have been "literate" in the sense of being able to write in English or speak English, but they were immersed in their cultures and had ancient morals that many of our people have lost. That is what I miss, I rather be steeped in my culture than be a literate in some foreign language at the expense of my culture.

Europeans messed up the world. They messed up Africa and plundered our wealth and continue to plunder our wealth. London, Paris, Amsterdam would never have looked like that if it wasn't for Africa's stolen wealth.

sage:
You need to read about 100's of years of Muslim rule and mistreatment of many Europeans till the Europeans expelled them by force


While we cold not read or write Europe was conquering the next frontier. Electricity, steam engines, trains, the telegraph, telephones, airplanes etc

Non of these were we going to discover by ourselves

We could not even make ourselves literate for thousands of years and we had to borrow their letters to express our thoughts

My brother, the Muslim Moors only conquered Spain and the Ottoman Turks only made it as far to the Balkans. Western Europe was never colonized. France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Scandinavia was never conquered. They just fought amongst themselves.

What do you mean many of us could not read? Have you heard of the Arabic script that was able to write down our history from the Empire of Ghana, Mali, Songhay. And the Ethiopians [/b]had their own writing script as well. You cannot say that Africans were not literate when Arabic script and Ethiopian script was being used to write books and our history.

Look at the cities that were made in [b]Great Zimbabwe, Great Benin and even in Yorubaland. Africans were progressing from a different route.

Plus, the Europeans stole everything from the CHINESE [/b]AND THE [b]ARABS. The CHINESE were the most advanced people for CENTURIES!  And what about the Great Pyramids at Giza. They were created by Africans, not Arabs or Whites. They were black Africans. While the Europeans were painting their faces blue and creating Stonehenge, the Ancient Egyptians were creating monuments that were stand the test of time.

And let us not forget that Ethiopia was Christian before Europe ever became Christian. Learn Africa's history first, before you write erroneous statements.

All I know is that I like dogs, and I do not like people mistreat them. That being said, Nigeria has other things to worry about.

The owners are mostly black South Africans. They will cut down their fellow African, than some European. Just look at what they do to the Somalis, people from Zimbabwe and Mozambique in their country.

It is interesting, because Nigeria gave shelter to most of their black leaders during apartheid.

sage:
what exactly stopped you from doing that 400 years ago? What stops you from doing that today?

You think Europe was not colonized and Europeans were not maltreated for centuries?

Europe was never colonized!

Only Asia, Africa and the Americas. (Case in America, most of the native people were wiped out) The world would have been a better place if Europe was never there.

Wherever Europeans went, they brought death and destruction from India to China. From Vietnam to Ethiopia.

I think we are worse off. Just look at the artistic capabilities of Ife and Benin and now look at what their descendants can produce and weep!

While the Europeans were painting their faces blue and killing each other mercilessly, we were building cities, providing for our people and had a better value system.

Nigerians do not have the courage to riot!

sjeezy8:
damn those ethopian girls are sexy PHATTTTTT asses and pretty faces its alot around DC area - all guys know how fine ethiopian girls are- even American(akatas dudes) etc . .  everyone knows.

Imma get me one-

Good luck trying to get one! I have seen Naija guys being able to get some Ethiopian girls, but it takes a lot of WORK! I mean a lot of WORK!

Let us not forget Somali and Eritrean girls as well.

I pray Ethiopia's population increases exponentially so they can export more of there women!

Fulani [/b]babes and [b]Shuwa Arab babes are the best in Naija!

Nothing is better than them!

gadogado:
He said some parts of Africa had not invented the WHEEL by the 19th century. Meaning that Africans had no capacity to develop which is why we're poor and Europeans wealthy. African contact with Europe improved Africans living standard. Do you buy this??

It depends on the part of the continent. We Africans are not truly a one united monolithic people. We are made up different cultures, languages, religions and heritages. Some of us had the wheel while others didn't. Some had bronze making capability while others didn't. The bushmen of Southern Africa did not have these tools yet the Zulu did and live in the same region.

THE AMAKA:
every weekend from PH to Calabar?

YES! Not that far my dear. It doesn't even take that long to get from Port Harcourt to Umuahia or Owerri. Well before the checkpoints and armed robbers.

THE AMAKA:

Chei! Vous comprenez beau?

I love Calabar! My mother is from Calabar and she used to take my brothers and I when we were younger every weekend.

Nayah:

blackboi:

Nayah:

J'ai plus de compliments pour vous beau. J'aime votre sourire et corps voluptueux. 

J'aime que je vois.!

I will never complain about the pot holes in Washington DC. My car would not be handle Nigerian roads even though my car is built FORD tough.

African women are so beautiful! I wouldn't trade them for the world. Unless it is a Brazilian woman! hehehehe

Poor showing for Afrika!

But Ms. Ghana looks very good. Reminds me of an Asante girl I was going out with. GOOD TIMES!

ibibiogrl:
I think your confused by the first picture that's not miss Ghana, scroll down and look through the pictures and you will see Miss Ghana, she's dark skin and looks like a typical Ghana girl.

Thank you Ibibio girl!

Oops egg in my face!

I thought the first girl was Miss Ghana!

Ileke-Idi,


I did not mention the color of her skin. Why should I mention the color of her skin when my very own IGBO people are known to be fair as her?

You can go by someone's nose as well. If you believe in evolution, you will understand why. And also the melanin content in a person's skin to surmise where they are from.

chyz:
It should not include oyigbo. No part of igbo land shall go into that state.make they gather their own people. oso!

You can say that again!

Bank-Ole is a disgrace to all Nigerians educated in the West!

kulyie:

lol

Aigbofa:
Evil monopoly, one single company dictating the pr


Can you imagine this crap coming from a company that survives on clearly skewed goverment policies. You are not a charity, but the Nigerian government is acting like one towards your company!!!

I agree with you on this issue. Nigeria is need of some "trust bustin" like they used to do in the United States.
