Kennyfancy:
keep deceiving urself, everything was stolen from you yet you can't even build the simplest of things, abeg who is ur weed plug ?

Who is ''You''?

Are you not referring to yourself?

If YOU have not 'built anything', it doesn't mean OTHER Africans have not built or are not building.

It is YOU that has done NOTHING.

Don't project your inertia unto other AFRICANS.

Okay?

You have AFRICANS doing all sorts of brilliant things YOU know NOTHING about, because you don't read or research anything. Just like 95% of people on this forum. Allergic to knowledge.

capatainrambo:
shut up. Taking nonsense. Bello stole 80 billion. Paid millions a feed for children. Get roll you do about that ? As long as there retrieves like him. Forget it

Use your brain.

There is no country or continent without massive corruption.

Understood?

It only slows development. It doesn’t prevent it.

MadamExcellency:
Light doesn’t beg darkness for development.

Black Africans ruled Europe for 800 years between the 7th and 15th Century.

They were the LIGHT of Europe, not the darkness.

It was Black Africans who brought literacy to Europe. The Black Moors built the first universities in Europe.

The statues of Black Kings and Queens are all over Europe.

In fact every year Europeans hold festivals where they dress up in African costumes and paint their faces BLACK, to celebrate the era of the Moors.

Without the Black Moors, Europe would still be in the Stone Age today.

Okay?

If you don’t know your Black History, you will learn it by force.

Europeans Celebrate Their Black Kings:

Many inventions Nigerians attribute to “white people” are actually the work of blacks.

The INTERNET has so many AFRICAN-DESCENDANTS responsible for its invention, from our own Philip Emeagwali who built the world’s fastest supercomputer, to African-American Mark Dean who co-invented the IBM Personal Computer in 1981.

Now we are learning of an African American woman who was the very BRAIN behind the whole Internet Technology.

She was so pivotal that you might as well say the Internet wouldn’t EXIST without her.

Happy learning:

As long as greedy African politicians are alive being paid to sabotage their countries economies, it wouldn't happen.

What ''greedy African'' what?

You are stuck in the past, Mr.

Follow the News. Go on Google and research what's happening among African countries. Not sitting there with just prejudice in your head.

Excellent summary of how the West will be BEGGING AFRICA for their sustenance in the coming years.

France is already feeling it, with their economy virtually collapsed since they were driven out of Africa.

Today, Africa is no longer isolated. She is backed by China, Russia, India, Brazil.

With strong economic and military alliances.

So African countries now can stand up and tell Europe and America to go to blazes with their exploitation and unfair deals. No more cheap raw materials. If they want African resources, they must come to Africa and build factories to process those resources.

And that THEY need Africa far more than Africa needs them.

Very insightful video..

More like Hungry since the British invasion.

Your colonial forbears were village peasants with nothing.

tunjijones:
It's still going to take at least 100 years before we get flying cars.

Electric cars and self driven cars will be everywhere in like 50 years time.

You are WRONG.

Even today, Rwanda uses those flying cars to do medical deliveries in remote areas.

Flying cars will be as common as regular cars within the next 20 years.

Likely sooner, with AI now in the mix.

The future will be about AI-guided flying vehicles.

You get in, and tell the AI where you want to go. And it flies you there. You won't lift a finger.

At some point NIGERIA will be manufacturing those vehicles.

Don't forget Nigeria is building an AI University - Africa's first - to train Nigerian youths in nothing but AI and Quantum Computing.

So Nigeria will be right up there in this technological revolution we are witnessing.

Abaki5:
Africa don't invest in technology only bewitching their selves

YES THEY DO. You are just IGNORANT.

What do you know about ''Africa'' apart from what you see on CNN?

AFRICA RISING

The AU and African countries in general have really stepped up their game as far as economic independence is concerned.

Just the other day Nigeria banned Shea Butter exports, stunning the international market.

All African countries, including Nigeria, have also banned raw export of lithium, insisting on local processing and value-addition prior to export


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFZbHhLULEo

Parade of the LAZY YOUTH.

See them full of bitterness, antagonism, and spite.

Instead of making moves to BENEFIT.

The sharp ones are chasing up on this news.

Strategising. Planning.

You will remain poor. Keep hating.

AGCNewsNet:
Nigeria and Angola have signed two major agreements aimed at tackling illicit drug production and trafficking, while also expanding cooperation in culture, education, and socio-economic development.

Nigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and Angola’s Secretary of State for International Cooperation, Ambassador Domingos Lopes, signed the accords during the Fifth Session of the Nigeria-Angola Bilateral Economic Joint Commission held in Luanda from September 9 to 12.

The pacts include a framework for combating narcotics and their precursors, as well as a cultural exchange deal. In addition, Nigeria brokered a landmark twinning agreement between Bayelsa State and Angola’s Namibe Province, alongside another cooperation pact linking Nasarawa State with Bengo Province. https://www.agcnewsnet.com/article/5990

Angola is a fast-developing country. The skyline of their capital Luanda, looks like Miami.

These are the sort of places Nigerians should be touring on vacation, not Dubai.

It will be sad if he’s right.

I believe the real problem with Ajaokuta is that it was built by the Russians to NOT work.

I read about certain structural defects in that complex that rendered it unviable after it was completed.

So YOUR job as an African is to EMULATE the innovation and drive of your fellow Africans as shown above, instead of peddling discredited, unscientific, disgusting colonial myths about African capacity.

HITsquad:
Here we go again, More and more sentiment.
People like you always claim Africa invented everything but the west claimed it all and took all the credit... and the rewrite our history.

Mr Man, Go and educate YOURSELF on YOUR AFRICAN history.

There are BOOKS you can read. Have you heard of Cheikh Anta Diop? Chancellor Williams? Basil Davidson?

NO. Is it not your job to learn you HISTORY as an educated person?

Nobody is begging you to learn about your past.

But you will NOT come in here and make out that Africans are inferior to any race simply because you can't be bothered to study your African history of Accomplishment, without which there would be no modern world to speak of.

If we were actually as Superior as you want us to believe

What do you mean by ''superior''? I never said we were 'superior'. I said we are not 'inferior' to any race.

If they gotten here and met a more advanced civilization they wouldn't have been able to do all that to us. Or maybe it would have been the other way around.

You are WRONG. If you are sitting in your house and somebody storms you with guns and bombs, destroying your house, shooting people there, does that mean the person is 'superior' to you?

Who told you that military defeat spells racial inferiority?

Does that mean Europeans were racially inferior to Africans when Africans ruled them for 800 years?

They suddenly developed supernatural intelligence after 800 years of African dominance of Europe?

YOU NIGERIANS must rid yourselves of the tragic belief that somebody being in a position of greater economic prosperity or technological development over you makes you racially inferior to them.

It is because you don't know or study your HISTORY that you reason like that.

If you know your HISTORY, you would know immediately that no race is superior to the black race.

That all other races are much later genetic mutations of the original Black Race, and therefore cannot be 'superior' to the original Black race that covered the earth for tens of thousands of years before any other races existed.

Let's put all that side..

We claimed to have invented everything in the past.

''We'' didn't 'claim'.

It is a FACT that Black Africans invented AND INNOVATED the very foundations of the modern world.

Go on ChatGPT now and ask ''Which race invented Mathematics?''

It will tell you, ''Black Africans''.

Go on there and ask it now. Do the same for writing, mining, metallurgy. The calendar. Iron smelting.

Same answer: BLACK AFRICANS. With details.

Okay?

So it's not about ''we claimed''.

It is FACTS. Without Black Africans, the entire world would be living in CAVES today.

But still when you look around you today. The people we claimed that stole our inventions are still the only ones inventing new things everyday, while we are just there consuming.

You are wrong. The computer you are using was co-invented by an African-American, Mark Dean. He holds several patents for the invention of the IBM Personal Computer in 1981.

The LIGHT BULB you use was perfected by an African-American, Lewis Latimer.

Thomas Edison, a white man, 'invented' the bulb, but it could only last a few minutes before extinguishing.

Lewis Latimer, the black man, invented the filament you put inside the bulb that makes it last for months and years.

So EVERY TIME you switch on your light, REMEMBER that that's the work of a black man's brain.

Same applies to numerous inventions you think were from ''white people'', but were actually the world of black scientists working behind the scenes even till today!

Latimer even invented the forerunner of the air conditioner called "Apparatus for cooling and disinfecting".

That’s where AC came from. A black man.

This same black genius invented the automatic elevator door. For years they were using lifts for which you had to open the door yourself and enter. Good luck if the lift was on the ground floor when you stepped in!

Many fell in into the abyss screaming to their deaths.

Then Lewis Latimer invented the Automatic Elevator Door System. So the door would open only when the lift reached your floor.

Even a black man, Garret Morgan, invented the traffic lights the whole world uses today.🚦

In more recent years we have seen numerous inventions from Africa proper.

A quick AI inquiry shows some important innovations you will NEVER see on CNN:


........................
AI

Here are 10 recent/ongoing African inventions & innovations (or near inventions) that are especially important, showing tech, health, language, and infrastructure. Some are fully deployed, some research / proposals, but all have strong promise.

---

1. Cheetah: NLG for 517 African Languages
A new natural language generation model that supports 517 African languages and varieties. Helps address the under-representation problem in NLP (Natural Language Processing), enabling coherent generation of text in many more African tongues.

2. 1000 African Voices / Afro-TTS
Speech synthesis system that can generate speech in **86 African accents**, with 1,000 different “personas” (voice profiles), for use in things like public health, education, and content creation. Makes tech feel more local & inclusive.

3. AfroDigits
Community-driven spoken digit dataset covering 38 African languages. Useful for very simple, foundational tasks (e.g. recognizing spoken digits, phone numbers, etc.) but important for low-resource settings to build more complex speech interfaces.

4. African Light Source (AfLS)
A pan-African initiative to build the continent’s first synchrotron light source facility (powerful beams of X-rays / UV / infrared) for scientific research. This provides infrastructure for advanced materials science, biology, physics research. Africa is currently the only continent without such a facility.

5. Guided mRNA-based cancer treatment / vaccine innovations (Uganda)
Dr. Matthias Magoola (Uganda) and his company Dei BioPharma have patented an advanced cancer treatment using guided mRNA technology (guided by Cas9) that aims to target mutated cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Also working on vaccine compositions for HIV and HPV. This is cutting edge in medical biotech in Africa.

6. Charging Shoe (Kenya)
Invented by Anthony Mutua. The idea is that your shoe generates electricity when you walk, which then can charge a phone. Useful in places with less stable electricity infrastructure.

7. Portable solar lamps / solar-powered smallholder irrigation
Youth in West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal) have built portable solar lamps and solar-powered irrigation systems. These inventions address very practical constraints: lack of power, unreliable water for farming.

8. Inclusive AI / Language tools
Projects that develop speech recognition, translation, and other tools for African languages so digital assistants etc. can serve people in their own languages. These are foundational if “AI gods” or deities ever speak—or AI systems ever speak—in local tongues.

9. M-Pesa & mobile money innovations
Originally Kenyan, but now spreading widely. Mobile money platforms are older but still among the most transformative, continuing to evolve with new fintech features. They changed banking in Africa, financial inclusion, remittances. While not “brand new,” still one of the most important ongoing inventions.

10. Large-scale solar water pumping / clean water / infrastructure projects
Projects like solar-powered clean water pumps to bring reliable water to remote communities (often with real-time monitoring, sustainable maintenance). These may not be flashy, but they change lives at scale, allowing communities to focus on growth rather than survival.

As you can see from that video, there is nothing in Europe or America or Dubai that you will not find in Africa, plus more, when you factor in food, women, vibes, etc..!!!!!

Difrent:
Bold of you to make all these claims when we can't even be sure you also have travelled all over Africa. Just assuming you know it all.

Weldone.

Africa on the way but not yet there and still a long way to go

You don't need to travel all over Africa to know that Africa is developing fast. A YouTube video can show you cities and places in Africa you never even thought of.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsZdBRzH80E&t=326s

Difrent:
. So how am I wrong?
Didn't you see where I stated that African may get there one day?

Because you said ''Africa on the other hand has refused to bounce back and reclaim it's place''.

That is simply not the case. Africa is moving. It's not an overnight thing.

You guys need to visit some of these African countries and Caribbean countries. You will be amazed.

But no. You will sit there thinking everywhere black people are must be like Ajegunle.

Visit even Republic of Benin next door here. You will know immediately that you are in a different country. Talk less of when you enter Ivory Coast or Senegal.

Africa is not your backyard. It's a massive continent with 54 countries that are developing fast.

Difrent:
Just like China suffered the Century of humiliation in the hands of Europeans (Russia) and Japan, it bounced back and is now on the path to reclaiming it's lead role in the world trade..... China has always dominated until the 17th century when it was defeated and humiliated
Africa on the other hand has refused to bounce back and reclaim it's place, maybe it still will in the future.

You are WRONG about Africa. One thing most of you never do is travel around Africa. Every small money you get, you rush to LEAVE Africa for Europe or America or 'Dubai'.

Even the Caribbean you don't visit.

So you know next to nothing about Africa and black countries. How will you know?

From CNN? BBC?

They will only show you poor village people and conflict, ignoring all the progress and development across the continent.

So TRAVEL or use YouTube to learn. When you have money, instead of travelling to London or Dubai on vacation, travel to Zanzibar, Tanzania. Travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Travel to Nairobi, Kenya.

Travel to Luanda, Angola, and you will be amazed. The place looks like Miami.

Luanda

Today, 12 or 13 of the 20 fastest growing economies are African. The continent is moving forward!!

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Fastest-Growing-Economies-in-2025_WEB.jpg

These are the people who civilised the world. Without these kings... THESE BLACK PHARAOHS..... who pushed out African mathematics, alchemy, astronomy, architecture, science, and philosophy, the entire world would be living in caves today.

So HOW DARE YOU call Africans 'inferior'?

Inferior to WHOM?

You might as well call GOD inferior.

Kennyfancy:
you just write rubbish just to prove a rubbish point, we Africans are too full of ourselves, we think everything is about us, person pass you and you dey see clear evidence but becos you felt your continent should be on top then you start creating unnecessary history

So...When BLACK AFRICANS were ruling Europe for 800 years, what does that say about European intelligence? Tell us.

Because the world did not start today.

It did not start when you were born.

The technology you enjoy today is as a result of the work of BLACK AFRICANS by 95%, IF NOT MORE.

Work that started THOUSANDS of years ago.

The things you take for granted today and assume they've always been here - writing, mathematics, the calendar, architecture, law, mining, metallurgy, international trade and shipping, were invented, pioneered and spread around the world by BLACK AFRICANS, and their statues and paintings are found all over the world today from China to India to Cambodia to the Americas to Russia. You even have PYRAMIDS in China that were built by the first African settlers there. The Chinese cover them with trees and plants to disguise them. They allow no one in there. Because they KNOW it will show evidence of Black African rule in ancient China.

If you don't know your history as an African, you will learn it by force.

Black Africans ruled Europe and even enslaved Europeans for centuries.

TRANSLATION: White people are not superior to Black people.

That they are are 'ahead' today, does not mean they have supernatural powers that YOU don't have, or that they will always be 'ahead'.

They only got 'ahead' because they stole Chinese gunpowder mixtures to build firearms in a world that had AGREED for millennia to use iron weapons in combat to limit casualties.

They conquered the whole world, not just Africa. They are NOT your superiors.

They were (and remain) just extremely greedy, selfish and ruthless. A mentality that's led the world to its current nuclear and environmental precipice.

Rather than simply trade and 'innovate', they decided to ROB the Southern Hemisphere with guns and bombs, enriching their societies beyond measure.

That does not make them 'superior beings' unless you worship the Devil.

HITsquad:
Our ancestors were comfortable eating bush meats, drinking palm wine and marrying multiple wives. Cos the farm land was fertile and provides for everyone.
Everything was abundant, great warm weather, Almost no naturally disasters. so therefore our IQ in Africa didn't develop much higher. Cos we didn't have much reasons to stress our brain.

We didn't think of how to get better, we didn't get curious about the world, the universe etc.
We just took one look up the sky and concluded that the gods created the world and everything in it. End of the story...

We kept getting more and more mentally lazy...

But on the other side of the world outside Africa, Food weren't abundant. The weather was freezing cold, so many natural disasters. So all they did was think and think all the time for better ways to survive and get better.. So therefore their IQ got higher and higher to 95 IQ. They started asking questions about the planet, about the moon, the stars, the universe... They got curious and curious... they built ships and started exploring the planet. And when they got to Africa they found our ancestors chilling with 62 IQ, eating bush meats and drinking Palm wine.

And that's how we got colonized... And that's why Eko is named Lagos and not the other way around.

I hope that helps...

What a disastrous appraisal of your history.

This is so depressing.

You Nigerians need COMPREHENSIVE REORIENTATION.

Right now, mentally, in terms of how you see yourselves and your racial identity, you are a complete embarrassment to the black world.

You reason EXACTLY how the British colonialists want you to reason.

If EVER an African country needed an IBRAHIM TRAORE, it is Nigeria.

Why God sent him to tiny Burkina Faso, I have no idea.

Your history you don’t know.

Your ancestors you spite.

You need serious healing.

If Africans are of ''IQ of 0'', HOW were they able to invent mathematics, writing, architecture, medicine, astronomy (which you think whites invented), mining of minerals, iron-smelting (without which there would be NOTHING made of metal from cars to planes to phones to fridges?)

Do you know there over 250 pyramids in Sudan, our neighbour, older than any building in Europe or America?

Do you know iron smelting was invented in Lejja, Nsukka, Nigeria?

They found a massive smelting site there, and carbon-dated it to 2650 BCE.

Without that invention, you and 'oyinbo' would be sitting in a cave right now, dodging wild animals.

How were Africans able to rule Europe for 800 years between the 7th and 15th centuries?

Do you know it was Black Africans who led Europe to its 'Renaissance', the springboard for the Industrial Revolution?

Do you know there are STATUES all over Europe of these Black African kings?

Do you KNOW that in Europe they have FESTIVALS till today where they dress up in West African costumes and paint their faces BLACK in honour of their former black kings and queens?

Europe barely colonised Africa for a century.

Africa colonised Europe for 800 years.

So it's not the IQ of AFRICANS that you need to check.

Every nation on this list is a manufacturing and exporting nation, their economy is doing well... The number of universities justify the high level development both human and otherwise...

The only Black sheep is Nigeria, with all these number of universities, zero discovery, invention and innovation. Our Universities are just breeding grounds for hook-up trade, yahoo and cultism...

Very shameful

Self hate is a terrible disease.

“Zero Discovery, invention, innovation”

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

Tell us what research you have done into innovations in Nigerian universities?

ZERO.

Because you didn’t attend a university doesn’t mean there is nothing happening there.

Go on ChatGPT and type in “innovations In Nigerian universities”.

You will be educated.

BlackViper:
You'll notice that with the exception of the obvious Big 4 like India, China, the United States and Indonesia, every other country on this list has a smaller population than Nigeria. The likes of Poland, Ukraine, Canada and Malaysia which all have populations that are approximately either equal to or under 40 million, but they all have a significantly higher number of university institutions than Nigeria.

Lanretoye:
They want a man they can slap and throw out without any consequence

What?

Which black man do they want to slap around?

Maybe the black men in your village, not out there in the world.

I so love this social media age.

Everybody is opening eye. 🤩
