cap28:
A strong military is needed to prevent exploitation but what the US is doing now is excessive because they are borrowing money in order to stay ahead of every other nation in the world - money that could be used for things like health care and education is channelled into defence and the only beneficiaries are the defence contractors, arms manufacturers and the private mercenary companies like Blackwater that have started springing up in the US and Europe.

I think Russia was weakened politically after the cold war but only temporarily, hence the entry of US backed puppets like Yeltsin.

Cap28 thank you for showing me about Dr. Chinweizu Ibekwe a couple years ago. Reading his work changed my life for ever. Here is a great quote and essay he has: "The Black race will be exterminated
if it does not build a black superpower in Africa
by the end of this century."

I miss Ojukwu Biafra and his love and support for black technology

In Biafra we made our own weapons, food, refineries, etc. Why can't we do this now with all this technology and informatio we have access to?

cap28:
Exactly!

As a matter of fact the whole of Africa is already under occupation by USafricom
they are monitoring and dictating what is going on in almost all African nations. Its already too late for Nigeria to stop what has already been put in motion. The US also have drone bases dotted all over Africa.

I know there is a drone base being built in Niger and Djibouti but where else?

Yh maybe all tribes in Africa had things written one way or the other but nt history.

I haven't come across any book on history of Africa with any African writting system
Wat I know of are calculations, basic instructions and ritual stuff
In Yoruba society All these cults have their markings which serve as coded writing system on wood, ivory and plain divination boards but nothing like a piece on history, all history is told orally

Why can't we make our own weapons? We need to be self reliant? Make our own hellicopters, planes, tanks ,etc. We should put our money into that instead of begging.

My tailor is good

macof:
Oral history is meaningless. you fool in ur bid to make blacks look good and ridicule caucasians u jst embarrassed the entire sub-Saharan Africa that strives on orally told history to preserve our legacy and heritage

If oral history is meaningless then what evidence do u have that Africans weren't active slave traders? Ur own history?
Lol these racists have started again...thinking they making the black race better by bashing caucasians with lies..you no better than the white man you so accuse of treachery

As a Yoruba man, I can tell u the Ooni is descended from a slave woman owned by Oduduwa's household
even Odu Ifa speaks of this...there's ur authentic history there of a period when Caucasians only dreamt of West Africa

We had writing systems...

ProfCorruption:
What you have written is nothing short of a pure junk. What's the meaning of "self worth" in the context that Africa was colonized , obviously not by people less endowed than the Africans; or since the Europeans left, Africans have not been able to govern themselves properly. You should be ashamed of yourselves for talking nonsense of a city in 13th century when all you have now are slums.

Don't you folks know the best way to realize the so called "true self worth" is to make your society habitable, and comfortable for your own people. Why is it difficult for Africans to do just that? You have oil that you can't refine, common ragtag militia is defeating your military, citizens are killing each other on some vague religious doctrines and the whole continent is a monumental catastrophe. And you relish us with a glorious past?

What past? What city? So when the Europeans saw Benin city, they destroyed it out of jealousy? Because they didn't have such a "wonderful" city? Lol.

In order to do great things you must have self worth and high self esteem. Many Adrianna believe their history stayed with slavery and colonialism so e have low self esteem and self hateed with allot of infertility complex. We must reclaim or great history so we can move from skins to great houses and build them ourselves without getting foreigners to do everything.

We must change the way we think.

There are whites who tell the truth though...

Fulaman198:
The problem is the nature with a lot of the people. They think it's good to be subservient to white people. White people are not God, yet the fools don't understand like AfricanApple said, they think it's a blessing that white people walk on African soil. I mean what kind of bullcrap mentality is that. I don't want to be tribalist and say that I'm glad Fulani people don't think that way, but I wish all Africans thought like the Fulani and were not subservient to whites.

Do you think Fula people are subservient to Arabs?

Why can't leaders practice Odinani or Ifa?

To bad most Africans are either Christian or muslin and we think this is evil.

To bad Africans are the weakest people in the works and won't do anything about this. Just pay o sky daddy and probably go to Dubai for vacation....smh

Why can't African ever go to tourism in other African cities like Nairobi, Addis Ababa Dakar ft Timbuktu gaborone or other cities. We always give our money to other people. We create jobs and wealth for other people than ourselves.

This criminal is now in Cote d'Ivoire a country he destroyed through the support he provided to gang led rebellion that brought Ouattara to power. This war cost a least 300 000 lives , not to count the tortured, the missing ones and millions of displaced people.
Today,the fact is Ouattara himself has a shaky future because Ivorians see him as a French puppet who was imposed upon the country on purpose to plunder the natural resources.

All i see is a failed revolution, an hastily on the moment reaction of people whom are fed up , a waste i should say. They had no plans, no phase and no ideology. At the moment the Imperialists are already assessing who the likely candidates will be and deciding whom among them they will support while at the same time finding more information to discredit the unwanted from ever getting to power.

Do you think anyone in the Sankara family or with Sankara's ideologies will get into power?

@cap28 @thoth What do you guys think about this?

No Nigerians are too busy praying to sky daddy.

Why is it called Lwill?

Good wind help us e need to solve our own problems.

I notice that many Africans are big into Christianity and Islam but have our prayers worked. I always here people say "Jesus will take the wheel" or "God will save us". But how long have we been praying? Has it been working? We have all these churches and mosques and we have the most problems, poverty, bad education, healthcare, infrastructure, etc. Instead of praying to god why don't we use ACTIONS because they speak louder than prayer.

Question EVERYTHING, what were the political implications of African receiving religion? Is it good for us? If we die and nothing happens to us then would we have wasted our lives praying for nothing? Do you want to live for this life or the afterlife?

Stop praying and start doing!! We need to go back to spirituality because it seems like religion is not working. Let's try something else.

Religion is the opium for the masses-Karl Marx

Once you study history and how Africans received religions and how we are the originators of religion then you just can't believe it anymore. I was raised a Christian but due to a lot of reading and studying I left it.

Religion is used to control the masses. Right now I am agnostic/ spiritual.

We need to make chocolate and export that instead of exporting cocoa. We must add value.

Is this real or is it a fairy tale?

The real question should be who is your favorite Orisha?
