They do una go complain, they no do una go still complain. Honestly negativity has entered deep into the fabrics of the consciousness of many Nigerians. You must say something to dampen any excitement and joy. You already predicted things will be falling apart in twelve months. Why not wait till then.

Don’t mind the asshole.

Minsk24:

Edo sent fighter troops all the way from Africa to go and seize power in Japan? Una get sense at all? Chai Japanese people don suffer..
All this in 1608, even edo people dont have such record, do you know the kind of naval fleet that it would have required to undertake such mission? This lie too much, rostikol and co, i pull cap for una
Edo invaded Japan, after the sengoku period, united the different factions under one rule and ruled untill the 1800's....so during the isolationist period of Japan under the edo period, it was edo people that were shogun?
So edo people invaded Japan with such huge fleet but had no fleet to repel the British in 1897?
Chai, dy don chop una head abeg....

Use your head and stop being stupid.

First of all we don't know HOW they got there.

But we KNOW they were there.

If you watch that video and still doubt that they were there, then something is definitely wrong with your head!

You are not well!

1500s to 1897 is nearly 400 years by which time the West African kingdoms had been weakened by the slave trade and the various wars and disruptions resulting therefrom. So mentioning the British Invasion of 1897 is ludicrous.

No European power could defeat Benin in the 1500s or 1600s at the height of its power.

Minsk24:

Guy are u this dumb? Japanese that have more than a millennia of history? Then u are saying people who arrive in the 1600's are their ancestors? It is plausible that edo people came to Japan, it could be for trade, and then cultural exchanges happened, but to insinuate that edo people conquered Japan or are their ancestors, i dont know what to call you ..

Who the hell said the Edos were their ancestors?

Nobody said that!

The video was saying that the Edos sent some bands of fighter troops there, and they eventually seized power at some point and began the Edo Period which lasted 2 centuries.

Nobody said the Edos were the ancestors of the Japanese!

Watch the video properly and understand what they are saying!

What happened was the Edo warriors got there and they were used as soldiers by the ruling class already there. That they may have been the famous Samurai warriors of Japan known to history.

After a while, they became powerful enough to seize power, and began the Edo Period. It was probably their mixed race descendants who actually seized power and began the Edo Period, and the video showed many of them as mixed race, ie the Edo warriors got there, maybe in the1500s, married into Japanese society, and their descendants continued in their traditions, names etc etc, and eventually seized power by 1608 etc...

That is the thrust of the video, and the evidence provided is very convincing.

I WILL NOT BE HAPPY TILL I SEE THOSE GUTTERS COVERED AND THEY HAVE SIDEWALKS FOR PEDESTRIANS ON EVERY STREET.

I DO NOT WANT TO SEE NICE PAINTED HOUSES AND THEN ON THE STREET, OPEN GUTTERS. NO.

WE MUST HAVE COVERED DRAINAGE. JUST LIKE IN ABUJA AND OTHER CIVILISED PARTS OF THE WORLD.

BUT GOOD STUFF WE'RE SEEING SO FAR.

MORE GREASE TO THEIR ELBOWS.

Minsk24:

Lol, so because dumb folks appreciate the video, it gives the video integrity? People like una need to be flogged 24 lashes...
Imagine edo or tokugawa period in Japan that started around 1608,then u say edo people na dia ancestors, all this useless videos with mushroom analysis....

You have no brain in your head.

The Edos probably arrived there a century or more before they actually seized power.

Illiterate with inferiority complex.

Oh sure, everything in video there is just a ''coincidence'', because you have no brain.

Thankfully, the rest of the 5,000+ people worldwide who saw the VERY OBVIOUS CONNECTIONS, appreciated the video.

Of course you know more than them with your village dropout head.

Dumbo with attitude.

Reading some answers on nairaland, you can conclude that some Nigerians...the white programming inferior-brainwashing, is complete inside them.

They can't be rescued anymore. The proper material for the house n13gger.

You can say that again.

They are a total disgrace. Beyond redemption.

Exactly, all the features that White people found in a person to consider them "purely Caucasian" are found in African albinos: blonde air, pale skin with freckles, blue eye, eyebrow with blonde air, etc

This is a very popular WWE wrestler, Brock Lesnar. He is considered by many as the Whitest among the White people, tell me the difference between him and African albinos?

The African albinos posted by OP even look more 'oyinbo' than him.

His ancestors probably mixed with other races like Mexicans etc.

African albinos from Ethiopia and Somali are the original 'oyinbo'.

So basically, BLACK AFRICANS lived in Europe and ruled Europe for 32,000 YEARS before any white person existed.

Can you imagine how many black empires and kingdoms that would have risen and fallen in all that time?

Europe is essentially AFRICA.

That is our land and we were driven from there by hordes of invading whites from around the Caucasus mountains of the Near East, Russia etc, where a population explosion among white-skinned people first developed.

They now entered Europe around 4,000 years ago and fought numerous wars against our ancestors there, and eventually overran them by sheer virtue of their exploding white-skinned population.

SmokedWhiskey:


The presence of negroid haplogroups among some Greek populations as stated in the article you cited only shows there might have been some inter-breeding in the distant past, you would need a much stronger case than this to prove your point.....Caucasians are a distinct branch of the human race in their own right, just as much as Negroes are, though all branches of the human race originated from a common ancestor millions of years ago.

There's actually only a technical difference between the 'whites as albinos' and the more conventional explanation regarding the emergence of white people.

The latter STILL contends that whites are an offshoot of BLACKS.


This is from the UK Independent newspaper, which confirms that white people emerged very recently FROM BLACKS, and are not an indigenous separate race as you think.

Modern humans (Homo Sapiens) have been on Earth for at least 100,000 years, and they were BLACK AFRICANS.

Independent UK:

How Europeans evolved to have white skin, starting from around 8,000 years ago
Ancient populations in Spain, Luxembourg and Hungary had dark skin around 8,500 years ago

Europeans have not always been light skinned, and Caucasians are in fact a fairly new development on the continent, relatively speaking.

According to a new study reported in Science Magazine, it has been found that Caucasians are the product of “a patchwork of evolution in different places” across Europe, while scientist have discovered three genes that produce light skin – both of which have played a part in the lightening of Europeans’ skin colour over the past 8,000 years.

...When modern humans first travelled from Africa to the continent around 40,000 years ago they had darker skin, which was still seen in Spain, Luxembourg and Hungary around 8,500 years ago.

These humans lacked two genes – SLC24A5 and SLC45A2 – which lead to the depigmentation and lightening of the skin.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/how-europeans-evolved-to-have-white-skin-starting-from-around-8-000-years-ago-10160120.html

.......

So the whites themselves know that they are descended from BLACK AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS TO EUROPE.

Here is an admission by the UK Guardan Newspaper, relating to 'Cheddar Man', who typified the first BLACK AFRICAN settlers of the UK.

First modern Britons had 'dark to black' skin, Cheddar Man DNA analysis reveals

The genome of Cheddar Man, who lived 10,000 years ago, suggests that he had blue eyes, dark skin and dark curly hair.

Scientific reconstruction of the skeletal remains of 'Cheddar Man', the oldest human remains in Britain.


https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/feb/07/first-modern-britons-dark-black-skin-cheddar-man-dna-analysis-reveals

What their mainstream is not admitting however, is that these black African populations lived and thrived and formed large empires and civilizations in Europe for thousands of years before any 'whitening' began.

The original Greeks, Danes, Scots, Germans, Vikings, Celts, etc were all BLACK PEOPLE.

Black Africans were the first Europeans.

If you read English historians like David MacRitchie and a few others, they show evidence of these early black civilisations of Europe.

In fact up till just 2 or 3,000 years ago, to be called a Dane (ie from Denmark) meant to be called a BLACK person.

You people KNEW that Obi lost the election, and you LIED that he won and was rigged out.

Otherwise why are you all now saying that ''Nigerians voted for Tinubu and deserve what they are going through.''

You can't have it both ways.

Did Obi win or did he not win?

when I tell my friends black just like to hijack everything them say I be black racist 😂😂😂😂😂how can you say blacks were superior technology wise and now the whole black race is backwards? Like the white stripped the whole black race technology or how he happen? Any small thing them must find one way trace am to Africa why ? It’s all in the past and we don’t even have proof of it let’s move forward …before oh I brought clothes we de wear clothes before ? Look at pictures of igbos ,Yoruba before the white man came go far back where you see clothes in Nigeria and they were all imported so what did they wear before the imported materials? You guessed it

I ACTUALLY FEEL SORRY FOR YOU.

You are just a walking piece of IGNORANCE.

A colonIal caricature.

Use what is left of your colonised head to learn JUST A TINY BIT OF YOUR HISTORY HERE:

Story of cities #5: Benin City, the mighty medieval capital now 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?


Fri 18 Mar 2016 07.30 GMT

15th Century Portuguese rendition of Benin City, showing large monuments and multi-storey buildings


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”.

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 to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.

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”.... 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….

“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”.

....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.

The city was split into 11 divisions, each a smaller replication of the king’s court, comprising a sprawling series of compounds containing accommodation, workshops and public buildings – interconnected by innumerable doors and passageways, all richly decorated with the art that made Benin famous. The city was literally covered in it.

The exterior walls of the courts and compounds were decorated with horizontal ridge designs (agben) and clay carvings portraying animals, warriors and other symbols of power – the carvings would create contrasting patterns in the strong sunlight. Natural objects (pebbles or pieces of mica) were also pressed into the wet clay, while in the palaces, pillars were covered with bronze plaques illustrating the victories and deeds of former kings and nobles.

At the height of its greatness in the 12th century – well before the start of the European Renaissance – the kings and nobles of Benin City patronised craftsmen and lavished them with gifts and wealth, in return for their depiction of the kings’ and dignitaries’ great exploits in intricate bronze sculptures.

“These works from Benin are equal to the very finest examples of European casting technique,” wrote Professor Felix von Luschan, formerly of the Berlin Ethnological Museum. “Benvenuto Celini could not have cast them better, nor could anyone else before or after him. Technically, these bronzes represent the very highest possible achievement.”

What impressed the first visiting Europeans most was the wealth, artistic beauty and magnificence of the city. Immediately European nations saw the opportunity to develop trade with the wealthy kingdom, importing ivory, palm oil and pepper – and exporting guns. At the beginning of the 16th century, word quickly spread around Europe about the beautiful African city, and new visitors flocked in from all parts of Europe, with ever glowing testimonies, recorded in numerous voyage notes and illustrations.

.....Then in 1897, the city was destroyed by British soldiers – looted, blown up and burnt to the ground''.

member13:

My brother, I have heard about the Moors, but your assertion is categorically false. Which Black Africans ruled Europe fore centuries? West Africans? South Africans? East Africans? How did they rule Europe exactly and please provide your source and evidence. What exactly have we contributed to the modern world? Who are our philosophers, scientists, historians, mathematicians, etc who are studied by experts all over the world? Even right now you and I are debating in a foreign language. Is there a website wherein West Africans engage in their native lanugage? Do Africans get educated in their native languages? Do Africans practice their native religions with pride? I don't mean a minority but as a whole we don't do these things.

Culturally, we have been dominated by the American way of living, the American/European way of governing, American/European manner of dressing and this is why we millions of Africans desire to "japa" to foreign nations. Technologically, we produce nothing. We are a laughing stock amongst the comity of nations because we contribute nothing to the development of the world, especially when it comes to research in the medical field, semiconductors, military apparatus, economics etc.

There are millions of Africans with foreign names. Have you ever met a white European named Segun, Folasade, Chinedu, etc? But we ruled them for centuries? Don't you find it curious that whenever a Black man has to defend himself he brings up history from more than a millenium ago? History that has nothing to with us because our direct ancestors knew nothing about sea navigation to the point that they would have built a boat. Our recent history is littered with slave trade, colonization, corruption, and moral decay. It is what it is.

YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE MOORS.

YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THEM, BUT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM.

THE MOORS WERE BLACK WEST AFRICANS.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT WE HAD UNIVERSITIES IN WEST AFRICA BEFORE THE WHITES CAME HERE?

DO YOU KNOW THAT ARAB AND EUROPEANS USED TO COME TO WEST AFRICA TO ATTEND UNIVERSITIES IN THE 12TH TO 16TH CENTURIES?

YOUR IGNORANCE IS SHOCKING AND STINKS.

DON'T TYPE A SINGLE WORLD UNTIL YOU HAVE WATCHED THIS VIDEO

I HATE IGNORANCE.

IN THIS VIDEO, REFERENCES AND SOURCES ABOUND, WHICH YOU CAN FOLLOW UP.

THIS IS NOT JUST SOME GUY MAKING CLAIMS. THE CLAIMS ARE BACKED WITH REFERENCES, IMAGES, AND IMPECCABLE SOURCES.

DO YOU KNOW THAT IN EUROPE TODAY, THEY HAVE FESTIVALS WHERE THEY PAINT THEIR FACES BLACK TO CELEBRATE THE PERIOD OF BLACK RULE IN EUROPE?

OF COURSE YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!

YOUR HEADS ARE EMPTY OF YOUR HISTORY.

JUST KEEP QUIET, WATCH THE VIDEO AND LEARN YOUR HISTORY.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEK-pl3VyKM&t=7s&ab_channel=AfricanHistoryStation

In Egypt today, the racist Arabs that invaded the place in the 7th century AD, driving the blacks southwards into inner Africa, have gone about trying to remove evidence that it was a black civilization. One way they do this is by knocking or scraping off the noises from the statues, to disguise their negro features, but it doesn't work, because we can still see from the outline that they had big wide noses of black Africans.









Oyinbo na devil.

LandMann:


You boldly stated that victims of colonial and neocolonial injustice and oppression should stop "playing the victims card".

Is it that you don't know or understand the meaning of sentences you make? How can you in all righteousness ask a child who is being beaten black and blue not to cry or say the child is playing the victims card? Only beneficiaries of Nigeria's current situation use those words as their heart is evil and wicked and they're blind to all the suffering of the people occasioned by past and present systemic oppression and enslavement clouded in a false veil of freedom and democracy. So, what is your motivation for defending neocolonialism?

That guy na oyinbo.

See as this topic dey pain am? E want cry sef.

Like the alphabet we use in communication was gotten from the West , medication are from the western companies Gsk and sanofil left nigeria and we know how e they go , the dude is prolly using an iPhone or Samsung made by westerners . But if we speak fact , they're going to gaslight you of been a white worshipper

Black Africans invented writing, mathematics, speech, philosophy, medicine, architecture, iron smelting, mining of minerals, and many other things, WITHOUT WHICH there would be no iphone, samsung, ''medication'' etc, today.

Civilization started over a 100,000 years ago, not in the last 100 years with ''iphone'' and ''telephone''.

Those things are just the culmination of thousands of years of innovation by Africans.

Mere icing on a cake baked by Africans.

Do you know that a PAINT FACTORY dated 100,000 years old was discovered in a South African cave recently?

BLACK AFRICANS invented CHEMISTRY over 100,000 years ago, when white people did not exist.

https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/100-000-year-old-paint-factory-suggests-early-humans-knew-chemistry

It is because you don't know your history that you think you are inferior.

Makamatic:
Show me one African country with the so called millions of years of civilization that's developed . Instead of we to develop ourselves we're in a competition with white people as to who's more better, stronger , beautiful , intelligent

What competition?

How can you be in competition with African albinos, ie so-called 'white people'?

The so-called white people are descendants of black Africans, who are the ORIGINAL POPULATION OF HUMANS, so there's no competition.

You can't be superior to your parents.

If you leave your village and travel out to the world and your experience teaches you new things and you become rich etc, does that mean you are now superior to or more intelligent than your parents?

Rubbish.

So called whites are simply black folks who lost their melanin skin tone.

The racist ones among them are the ones who are too dumb and stupid to remember their history, and think they are ''different''.

The day I saw one church bill board post in Maitama, boldly written "Jesus is black" or something like that, that was when I know a large number of people are delusional, forcefully and falsely claiming another people's religion and culture and presenting it as fact? some of them are claiming that the original Jews are black just so they can claim YAHWEH. It was laughable now its annoying

Of course the original Jews were blacks.

Have you heard of the Black Madonna? The Europeans depicted the ancient Jews as blacks.

Spain


In Europe today, Moorish statues are everywhere, if you care to look.

All white life forms in nature; flowers, birds, mammals, horses, apes, whales, are a result of albinism.

So white people are ALBINOS.

olisaEze:
All these school na scam children, goan read up Mendel's law and learn how albinism is inherited and it's occurrence in all races. Yes, albinism occurs even amongst white caucasians, it is not exclusive to blacks! There's nothing wrong with listening to beer parlor stories, but if you believe everything you hear there you can believe anything in dis life!

None of what you typed disproves the OP's thesis.

Whites could still be an albino race, but intermarriage with non-white people over several millenia would have somewhat diluted that albinism to enable them produce a small amount of melanin.

So you could call them 'mixed race' albinos.

Those pictures the OP posted are not fake pictures. Those are white people by any measurement.

If you weren't told that they were Ethiopians and Somalians, you would never know.

According to a source, ''African folklore hold the belief that tribes with significant carriers of the mutated gene for albinism eventually migrated northward through Egypt to another area of Africa which is now called Europe, seeking a more hospitable living environment for their offspring – escape the intensity of the equatorial hot climate of the great river valleys and great lakes region of Central, Eastern and Southern Africa, which was then and still is South of what is now called Egypt.

The “albino” group moved up in the mountainous area during the Ice Age or Glaciations period that lasted thousands of years further isolating themselves from their original parent population in Africa. And by being in such isolated living condition for such a prolonged period they also interbred (within the existing parent groups), thereby creating additional “albino” offsprings from “albino” mothers and fathers.

White skin is a form of albinism. There is no difference, genetically or phenotypically speaking, between the white skin of a caucasoid person and the skin of a person designated as an albino in Africa. Black people with albinism tend to have hair of a deep bright yellow, cream-colored skin, and green or hazel eyes. In the caucasian race, blonde hair, blue eyes, and alabaster skin are considered so highly desirable that brunettes often bleach their hair or wear colored contacts to look like Albinos.

...In Biblical times in Africa and beyond, people with albinism were banished or thrown out, and forced to live in colonies just as people with leprosaria or Hansen’s Disease were forced to live in leper colonies and away from other people. Africans believed that God was delivering judgment on a family with albinism and that the individual with albinism is cursed or is the embodiment of sin.

White-skinned people came into existence thousands of years ago as the albino groups in Africa migrated north to Europe also to escape the intensity of the equatorial sun of the Southern hemisphere (Welsing, 23).

During Biblical times Albinos were ostracized. The same thing is happening today when albinism occurs in some African societies. Albinos are ostracized by their own families – especially in Black families where the difference in skin color is more distinct. The ostracizing of albinos during Biblical times is explanation enough of how Europeans have come to be – African albinos produced more and more albinos until there was an albino group significant to form a new ethnic group – or caucasians.
