ozo_emeka: some things don't understand that. probably next thing he is hitting a woman because "he is a man"

Isn't that funny coming from you? When you're the same thing who started the thread as an insult? Then you were the first to call me a retard out of frustration just coz we differ in opinions even though I never directed any insults to you in my prior response?

Then you had this to say about women you knew nothing about and called them "possibly gullible, naive, intimidated females" So, yeah, if there is a man that would hit a woman just because he is a man would likely be you.

You be miss road?

^My dear Mr. Mod,
Respect is reciprocal. Abi you no hear wey 9ice use am sing? Oh I almost forgot, you don't like "westernised" music.

So your life must depend on your posts, huh? What a lonely soul you are.

The new mod is known to be a biased idi0t anyway. Hiding my posts with so-called insults while leaving your moronic comments ridden with insults towards me clearly shows that.

^lol
...time to shut up?

I know, nothing gets thru your coconut head.

But it did stop you from talking to yourself.

^

lol, you are yawning already? Here, have a seat _/ and shut up.

Mr Fulaman, why did you hide my posts on this thread but left where I was quoted and the responses to me?

ozo_emeka: WhY yoU mad though?

But my comment says otherwise, though?

Fulaman198:

Exactly what makes a culture evolve? Because often we are under the misinterpretation that behaving Westernized is Evolving you. If you believe this, then I just have to shake my head. A lot of you are disgracing your ancestors for giving up your own culture and giving into another culture.

I bet you some of you speaking such Rubbish do not even speak your mother tongues.

Stop with the tirade and face reality. And I speak my language fluently, if you must know.

But what makes a culture evolve? It can evolve when you adopt some aspects of foreign ideologies and merge it with your own. Fulani culture evolved when they adopted Islam against their core cultural beliefs and that would have been the "modern" thing for them to do (and still is). And through a foreign ideology, they were able to organise themselves and went on a Jihad to take over some African states. So a foreign culture did help the Fulani evolve into a more organised and more unified group for the advancement of their people. If not, the Fulani would have remained peasants roaming from West to East Africa.

Fulaman198: What Nigeria needs is a young leader who will set Nigeria on a course for success within the next 15 years to be able to compete with the likes of South Korea, United States, Japan, India, etc. We need to improve interal technology, set up 4G LTE towers, providie education focused mainly on engineering, science, medicine, etc.

Well, in order for you to achieve this, you and other Fulanis have no choice but to become Westernised because the leaders in these fields are not in Africa or Arabia. Like the examples you rightly mentioned, they are either in the West or Asia. So just like your ancestors gave up their beliefs to become Arabized for their advancements, perhaps it is time you start adopting ideas from the West or Asia?

Culture is made for man not man made for culture. If the culture of a people remains stagnant and does not evolve, it doesn't say much about their intelligence.

Where are the twerkers? Abi dem no invite AA women?

Chima!

Whenever you start quoting yourself and laughing at your own dry jokes, you know it is time to take your meds.

yam[138] Wolof nyam, taste; Serer nyam, eat; Fula nyama, eat; black West African and Caribbean English nyam, to eat. Also Bantu nyambi, to eat.

^

I don't think this is correct coz I see no reason how the word "taste" or "eat" would eventually translate to the crop Yam

Yam is called Iyan (pronounced E-yan) in Edo and the earliest use of the word by Europeans were the Portuguese who called it Inhame and the English corrupted the Portuguese word to Yam.

Iyan (crop) -> Inhame (crop) -> Yam (crop) is more plausible than Nyam (taste; eat; to eat) -> Inhame (crop) -> Yam (crop)

All religions are based off fictitious stories created by men. But you have to give it to the muslims for being able to spread their fictitious story mostly thru the sword. Believe or die, nigga!

Mrs.Chima:


An is ebonic Lawd this dumb nigga is certainly not Yoruba.

U is a vowel so therefore an university is correct.

An university is singular.
Universities is plural.

If you are going to jump in a discussion azz first...at least read the first sets of comments.

Dang, I never knew you were a hoodrat. I always thought you grew up in an all white neighbourhood.

Mrs.Chima:


You are the king of copying and pasting gone horribly wrong.

You have posted links from an university talking about the federal survey aka the US. Census supported your dumb and ignorant azz

Nigga please stop proving why people say Yorubas are the most educated tribe.

Seriously, "an university?"

Stop it with the Ebonics. I thought you grew up in an "all white" neighbourhood?

bigfrancis21:


Your write-ups indicate you are very worked up. What's working you up, sister? Because you ain't got no J.O.B?

But she gives good jobs.

Which of the Mobb Deep is igbo? Prodigy is my nigga!

btw, this thread is hilarious.

PhysicsQED: Wow @ what this thread became. Please guys, put away your e-fists, lessen the antagonism and try and calm down.

And to the non-AA posters in the thread, please, have a little more sensitivity. This thread was started by a Nigerian (who I don't think posts on this forum anymore - I think it was EzeUche under a different username) to better inform NL members about a terrible period in AA history, because of his sympathy for what their ancestors went through, but now the thread is going very far in the opposite direction of what was intended. And to 'bigfrancis21' in particular, there's a certain quote that seems apt: "There is no respect for others without humility in one's self." Try and have a little humility - only unnecessarily arrogant people have great difficulty addressing and treating others respectfully.

Well, ewanta ma vbe nai ghe te evben. Since these folks are always looking for who to blame for "slavery", maybe it is time they start looking inwards and an aspect of the history of slavery that is often neglected? And I don't see anything insensitive by pointing them in the right direction.

"He who comes into equity must come with clean hands"

But these niggas hands are not clean...they are filthy as fck. And they participated in the trade just like everyone else. So why do they continually exempt themselves from blame? That's quite insensitive if you ask me.

Kidstrangle, I don't like arguing aimlessly and stop repeating what I already know. The purpose of the discussion is, who is going to take responsibility for slavery amongst blacks in the US? Mutts have been differentiated from blacks by one of you not me, and they have been accorded the blame. And Garrett Morgan was a mutt. So he doesn't count.

Mrs.Chima:


STILL He is not a Nigerian inventor.

-1 point. Go harder nigga...

I never said he was. But he was not black, so you try harder.

KidStranglehold:

Proof Even if he was he would automatically be black in the USA(which hes from) since the on drop rule. And African/Black American is an ethnicity not a race. Any mixed person can be AA as long as they have black ancestry.

A quick search into his ancestry shows he was of mixed race and mutts and blacks have been differentiated on this thread. Mutts cannot take the blame for slavery while blacks take credit for their achievements. So he doesn't count.

Mrs.Chima:


Epic fail and he is not a Nigerian inventor.

loooolest! I don't care. As long as he was a mutt and not black. So he doesn't count in this conversation.

Mrs.Chima:


Daniel Hale Williams. HE WAS THE FIRST INVENTOR BLACK OR WHITE IN AMERICA.

Nope, another mutt. Doesn't count.

KidStranglehold:

What about Garrett Morgan who was well known for the Gas mask and Traffic signal? See how easy that was?
http://inventors.about.com/od/mstartinventors/a/Garrett_Morgan.htm

This nigga was a mutt. He doesn't count.

Jayvarley:


Now you have made yourself look stupid eziza


The term mulatto means mixed raced NOT LIGHT SKIN!

Malcom X was light skin not mixed raced duhhh!

He was of mixed race. He was also a faggit....like one of you negroes have portrayed him.
