"Arab kings" are mostly warrant officers installed by the British, just like some "warrant kings" in Nigeria. |
dangermouse:Russia makes its own weapons mate, Russia is not Ukraine nor Nigeria. It has all the raw material and the technical know how which it needs. |
WriterNiiig:😂My reply: NiiigWriter: |
dangermouse:The fact that the USA "cracked down on Chinese drone and weapons manufacturers" is not proof that China was proving those equipments to Russia. Your so called deal between north Korea and Russia is based on the word of your American friends and substantiated by nothing but their untrustworthy mouths. Also even some of your American sources talked only about Russia procuring some shells from north Korea, I don't see any problems with that. Ukraine has been supplied in weapons for more than 100 billion dollars by 31 countries including the USA, the UK, France, Germany...those countries supplied so much weapons to Ukraine that they now lack weapons. "Ukraine given equal the weapons available to Russia would have won this war a long time ago.": I really don't see the point of this hypothetical line here, I can also claim that if I had the same initial investment from my parents as Elon musk had from his parents then I would be 2 times richer than Elon musk. What is the point of this useless and unverifiable statement ? Are we teenagers ? Point is Russia is winning, and winning very heavily. No need to create an alternate universe where Ukraine is winning, reality is interesting enough as it is. |

dangermouse:1. China is not supplying Russia. 2. All that Iran supplied Russia were hundreds of drones and the blue print to build the drones. Russia has since modified the blueprint to make the drones much better and Russia produces them now. 3. You don't seem to understand the concept of "war of attrition". Russia gladly gives away land (temporarily) to save manpower and equipment and inflict catastrophic casualties on Ukraine/NATO. Ukrainian generals have openly voiced that "taking back those lands wasn't worth it", and soon enough, Russia will return back to those lands with minimal resistance from Ukraine's depleted and exhausted forces. 4. What north Korea provides to Russia is mostly workers. 5. Russian military has recently been ranked the best in the world by a USA defsec journal. 6. You are falling for the propaganda which you like, the reality is that Ukraine is hopeless and Russia has stuck to the winning strategy of war of attrition right from the beginning rather than act emotionally or for public relations. Russia doesn't care about appearances, that is Ukraine and NATO's thing (look like Hulk Hogan while you are actually a poor starving guy from Somalia). When it is all set and done, everybody will be forced to realise that Russia has won. |
mpire:Your comment applies to yourself perfectly. You seem to confuse NATO war propaganda with actual facts. All that data you posted is pure propaganda. Russia is winning and Russia is beating NATO very badly. That is why zelenski keeps running to Washington to beg for money. That is why the NATO is running out of weapons while Russian stocks of weapons have increased compared to what they had at the beginning of the war. It is ok for you to not be smart enough to see through propaganda, but it is just disgusting when you start insulting other people's intelligence based on your ignorant beliefs. You need to reach the intellectual level in which you consider the possibility that you may be wrong and the person with data opposing your beliefs may be right. From then on you treat opposing views with respect and use logic to work through what is true and what is false. |
WrriterNig:I really don't see how adding Ukraine to the EU will make the EU a better place. What does Ukraine have to contribute except dept, corruption, war and Nazi ideology ? Ursula and Macron and Scholz, is your aim to bankrupt the EU ? What positif do I gain from this as an EU citizen ? When individual countries would have suffered enough from adding a bankrupt and corrupt country into the EU, the EU will only disintegrate. The EU used to be the enjoyment club, but now it is becoming the suffering club. |
WrriterNig:Russia has all the raw material to build its weapons, that also reduces costs. |
Hopefully, I will meet president Putin one day. |
WrriterNig:President Putin and I have this thing in common: we are both specialists in fields distinct from history but we both understand the importance of true historical research and we both do on occasion conduct historical research (he has much more means than I do to conduct historical research though 😂). It is amazing when he talks about historical events and personalities. 👍 |
WriterNiiig:He sounds so tough, he probably scared at least one person: himself 🤔 I thought social media Jacki Chan were only on nairaland, I see some people build "armies" out of these loudmouths 😂 |
XAUBulls:Just for your info, @christistruth is a known low iq guy, each time he comments on topics outside of "culture" everybody calls him out for bring an idiot. He only makes sense to Yoruba ethnic champions who don't care that he has no logic. After explaining things to @christistruth several times over several years, he just can't learn and makes again all the mistakes which I educated him on. 1. Benin kingdom is not Benin city ! Benin city is only the capital of Benin kingdom. 2. Warri was a part of Benin kingdom 3. Lagos was an other part of Benin kingdom. 4. I have already proven what I said, most especially in front of @christistruths' eyes, several times over several years, but it just doesn't enter his scull. He's too dumb. Below is a pre-colonial map of Africa, it was published in 1747, I already posted it at least 3 times on this thread. I posted many other pre-colonial maps and texts. But I guess you prefer @chrustistruth's tales by moonlight because he strokes your ethnic ego.

OyinO:It is strange that you felt insulted while I was merely saying that there are mistakes which are honest mistakes and others which are ignorant mistakes. Don't blame me for your own lack of self-esteem. My statement was a general statement. Now let me talk about you: not understanding what a PRE-COLONIAL map is and their importance to historical research, that shows a lack of understanding of the concepts of time and history. Learn what historical research is about and do away with the "oral-tradition" scam. Once again: never blame someone else for your own feelings. Your feelings are your problem and yours alone. If you feel that you are insulted, too bad, not my problem. The words I write, those are my problems, a logical reading of my words (rather than an emotional one) shows no insult to you, rather a general statement. |
For everybody's info, most African countries (including Nigeria) are very weak militarily compared to western countries. And the west still has no ressources which it badly need. What makes you guys think they won't recolonize Africa and make you taste what their blood brothers are doing to Palestinians? Never say never 😉 N.B. This is to make the silly supporters of European colonization to open their eyes. |
Why are so many people on nairaland so ignorant? Listen to this kid: Alpharey:"Christian Jews" and "Muslim Jews" 😓 This faceless forum is filled with children. |
Alpharey:How old are you ? You just spewed an incredible amount of ignorance. Why does it always go this way with nairalanders? I give education, I get called "liar" or insulted in other forms, then the nairalander proposes his ignorant beliefs in substitution to education. I could be your teacher if I wanted. Why won't you just use your brain and learn ? "Muslim Jews", "Christian Jews" 😂 you must be a teenager. Little kid, what is messing with your brain is called Zionism, that is the belief that European Jews decend from king David and are entitled to the land of Palestine which they brutally took over from the natives and renamed Israel. |
Alpharey:Many people in Nigeria (including you) always try to fill in the holes when they don't understand something, but instead of doing research, you just take whatever story someone tells you, you don't apply logic, no skepticism at all. That is wrong. Also there are some info which are unaccessible to mankind. Judaism is a religion, just like Christianity. European Jews are Europeans whose religion is Judaism. It is not even complicated. |
nedu2000:European Jews didn't reside in foreign lands before 1948, they resided in their ancestral lands and faced religion related persecution. The country called Israel is not the land of the land of European Jews, it is the land of Palestinians. European Jews took it over from them in 1948 and have been slowly exterminating them since then. Now it is the Zionists whom are the ones committing pogroms on the owners of the land which the Zionists named Israel. |
pquaver:1. I told you there is no such thing as igboland or yorubaland since no pre-colonial map has them on it. 2. Your obsession with Fulani should be taken to a psychiatrist, not to me. 3. I said if fulanis are Nigerians and paid for their land or rented their accomodation then nobody can kick them out, but criminal fulanis are to be dealt with by the police and any entity which the law allows to deal with them. 4. I don't know where you get the words which you credit to me, I never said them 5. Look, don't talk to me again, you need to go and consult with a psychiatrist, not with me. |
Occurstaem:History is not about what you want or what you believe, it is about what you discover on eyewitness written documents. Learn the expression "historical research", nobody cares about your feelings or your beliefs, we care about historical research. Precolonial map of Lagos below: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8595583b.r=Benin?rk=150215;2

Occurstaem:Your ignorance of history did it to you. You guys are even bad at recent history. In case you didn't notice, I proved my claim already. Not my fault that you can't accept proven facts. |
SonOfDSoil01:You people's definition of indigenous is "the group of people who lived there first" and that information is available to God only. But actual information which is available to mankind is "the pre-colonial country in which Lagos was a sub-territory" and that is Benin kingdom. You confuse state policy with history. The French government can declare me indigenous in France today, that wouldn't make it historically true. Politicians are not magicians, and they are not necessarily history researchers neither. You don't seem to be smart. |
Occurstaem:Historical research seems to be you people's greatest fear. Lagos doesn't belong to "yoruba" deal with it. |
Occurstaem:An other Ewarrior, again. How come anytime someone exposes real history, you guys start fuming ? This is so bizarre. And that is why I refer to you as "history haram". You are allergic to true history. |
madridguy:1. Eyewitness written documents are the documents which are consulted while conducting historical research. They are called first hand knowledge. 2. The "yorubas" do not own the crown of Benin, the Oba of Benin does. 3. It is actually impossible to prove "the word Oba is a Yoruba word", indeed languages evolve overtime and words are borrowed from other languages: e.g "friend" and "foe" were borrowed from Scandinavian languages and to us all they are English words. The reason we know the origin of those words is because European languages had written forms before the introduction of those words. Meanwhile West African languages only recently got written forms, the Europeans gave them to us. What we know about the word Oba is that only the Oba of Benin had it as title until late in the colonial era when the Oni of Ife copied it and all other yoruba monarchs followed suit. 4. No Oba of Benin has ever been proven to have been buried in Ife, actually Benin is much older then Ife. Also I have an eyewitness written document from the pre-colonial era which describes the burial of the Oba of Benin, it took place around the palace. 5. I think you don't fully understand the concept of king. The king doesn't need to have a compound in each of his cities, he generally has one in the capital. Also in the pre-colonial era, all the places in Benin empire (including Lagos) had sections reserved for the Oba of Benin who would reside in them whenever he visited. 6. I already showed proof that Lagos was part of Benin kingdom, but you seem to still want to debate it.
|
SonOfDSoil01:I brought proof, therefore I'm twisting nothing, you are the one telling a lie.
|
madridguy:I'm not listening to stories, you are! I only claim what eyewitnesses wrote down. You, what is the source of your claims ? (yoruba fairytales) |
kcubani:Well, this should have been expected the moment you noticed yoruba claiming Lagos in which they are just migrants like any other migrants. Their level of fanatism is what motivates these tribalistic attacks. When people just start claiming land based on fairytales (e.g zionists and Israel), you know they are up to no good. |
madridguy:The record of the influx of migration into Lagos is available to all. It started in 1861 when the British took it over from Benin kingdom/empire and flooded it with slaves and then local escapee slaves joined in...then Brazilians, Sierra leonians, Liberians... In Nigeria, you guys are too lazy to do proper historical research, you prefer to believe fairytales of oduduwa instead. |
madridguy:I urge you to "stop dragging Lagos" as well, yorubas are no different from any other migrants in lagos. You migrated into Lagos just like other migrants did. |
flokii:Actually Benin kingdom was ruled by an emperor going by the title Oba whose sit of power was a city named Edda and later referred to as Benin city. There is no Ife in Benin history. What you just said is an ethnocentric yoruba fairytale which tries to claim Benin, and which is of course unsubstantiated like all you've said so far. Your fabled Ife is not even in the map and was a small village until 1912 when the British started urbanising it. Also, the fairytales about Ife were written by politicians who wanted to create a uniting "history" to bound unrelated people's who call themselves "yoruba" today. "yoruba" was never spoken in the palace of the Oba of Benin (west Africa is not Europe and "yoruba" is not French), the Oba's language is Edo, it always has been and always will be. The Edo language is a divine language to the Edo people including the emperor of Benin. |
