Politics / Re: ‘Nigeria Doesn’t Deserve Royal Visit,’ UK Journalists Slam Harry & Meghan by jazzman7711: 6:45pm On May 17 |
Ever8090: No, South Africa are not “10 times” ahead, even if they are ahead, you self hater. The reason they are ahead is that the white colonialists regarded it as ‘their country’, so they did not siphon all the export earnings to Europe, but invested some of it back into the country and built it up. All that you listed up there, the schools,kanji dam.. etc, do we still have any useful one today?..the answer is "No" They don’t exist again and you magically educated yourself. And the electricity you see comes from Planet Jupiter. Hateful liar. our government owned schools are shit-holes When last did you enter any school in Nigeria? Empty headed dropout. Thousands of Nigerians who attended those schools you are insulting are working in some of the highest paid jobs in the world today. Some might even be sending you money from abroad. Your illiterate grandparents under colonialism had NO such reality. we can't boast of 1 hour steady power supply,.. Demonic liar from hell. so you just tell me something different because the last time I checked, Nigeria was far better during the colonial period than even now. At least then, it was work in progress, but today what is our excuse? A nation of 5% literacy, malnutrition, no roads, no electricity, no phones, no industries, no universities, no banks, can NEVER be better than the Nigeria of today. YOU COULD NOT SURVIVE IN 1950s Nigeria, so SHUT UP. As I said earlier and will always say, we have only two solutions to Nigeria problem...either we divide the country or the common man rise up and start killing Nigeria leaders and their relatives... Please 🙏 leave Nigeria. We don’t need you. You are an embarrassment to us. 2 Likes |

MightySparrow: How do you know what your ''quality of life'' was like before they came, when you are a historical illiterate? Have you spent even ONE HOUR of your entire life reading any African history book? The quality of life when they left in 1960 was mass illiteracy and mass malnutrition after looting your resources for a century, are you aware of that? Point at one single public school, industry, useful infrastructure, or university that they built between 1886 and 1960. ANSWER IS ZERO. The only reason YOU can even read and write today, unlike your illiterate grandparents under colonialism, is because the invaders were driven out in 1960 and black govts began building the nation from Point zero. What exactly were blacks before Oyinbo came to Africa? Learn about Benin City, which was essentially the capital of southern Nigeria before colonial invasion. This is from the UK's Guardian newspaper. THEY know your history and YOU don't. 1836 drawing of Benin City by English artist, Mary Evans, showing multi-storey buildings and large public monuments, 60 years before the British invasion of Nigeria Benin City was described as ‘wealthy and industrious, well-governed and richly decorated’. Benin City, The Mighty Medieval Capital Now Lost Without Trace Guardian Newspaper, UK https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’. So why is nothing left? This is the story of a lost medieval city you’ve probably never heard about. Benin City, originally known as Edo, was once the capital of a pre-colonial African empire located in what is now southern Nigeria. The Benin empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in west Africa, dating back to the 11th century. The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops [in Egypt]”. Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages. Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”. Barely any trace of these walls exist today. Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace. When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world. In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.” In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”. African fractals Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns. As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.” At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them. In the middle of the streets were turf on which animals fed. “Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.” Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”. Family houses were divided into three sections: the central part was the husband’s quarters, looking towards the road; to the left the wives’ quarters (oderie), and to the right the young men’s quarters (yekogbe). Daily street life in Benin City might have consisted of large crowds going though even larger streets, with people colourfully dressed – some in white, others in yellow, blue or green – and the city captains acting as judges to resolve lawsuits, moderating debates in the numerous galleries, and arbitrating petty conflicts in the markets. The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace |

MaxInDHouse: You did not choose foreign religion ''freely''. It was IMPOSED on you by foreign invaders after slaughtering your ancestors. The British invaders seized the resources of the land and made it such that in order to earn a good income, you had to pass through their 'missionary schools', get a 'western' education, and get a job as a clerk or whatever. So there was a clamour by folks to get into their schools. But there was a little problem. To be admitted into the missionary school, you had to drop your traditional religion, convert to christianity, get baptised, and get an English name! THAT is why you bear English names today, while carrying bible up and down. Your indoctrinated forbears passed the habit down to you. It was pure economic blackmail. 'You adopt our god or you don't eat.' Now their fcking god has become your ''only personal saviour and lord'', or whatever rubbish you people say.

There were no writers named ‘Matthew’, ‘Mark’, ‘Luke’ and ‘John’. Those names were simply attached to ANONYMOUSLY written texts. So nobody actually knows who wrote the New Testament. It’s completely anonymous! The texts materialised from goodness-knows-where roughly 70 years after ‘Jesus’ had supposedly ‘ascended to heaven’. All this is well known to the church, ie the Vatican etc. People are just being misled with this christianity of a thing.

AbuTwins: They were all written at least 70 years AFTER the alleged events supposedly took place. This is a major reason intelligent analysts believe the entire gospels to be a fabrication. Something else unknown to most is that “Matthew, Mark, Luke and John” are fictional names that were affixed to ANONYMOUS TEXTS. So nobody actually KNOWS who wrote the so called ‘gospels’ or ‘New Testament’. Except maybe a few select people in the Vatican. 2 Likes |

Religion / Christians Are Now LYING About Near-death Experiences by jazzman7711: 3:27pm On May 08 |
Don’t believe the new fad by Christians. They have started producing FAKE VIDEO TESTIMONIES of NDEs in which they have people claiming they went to Hellfire and were told about ‘Jesus’ and how they needed ‘Jesus’ in order to be saved, etc. IT IS ALL LIES. I have been reading NDE accounts for DECADES, on sites like www.nderf.org, and the numerous testimonies always stated that you do NOT need to be religious or even believe in God, to transit to the Afterlife, which we call ‘heaven’. IT IS A NATURAL PROCESS FOR ALL SOULS. But in recent months we have been seeing fake testimonies on YouTube pushed out by CHRISTIANS in which people are claiming they went to “hellfire” and were told they need to “accept Jesus”, in order to be sent to “heaven”. THESE ARE LIES AND FABRICATIONS. Do not let CHRISTIANS hijack the beautiful story of our immortality in a beautiful Afterlife. IT HAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO TO DO THEM OR THEIR “Jesus”. 2 Likes |
