That moment when you open this thread to read, but then suddenly remembered that the only car you have to drive is the small one you made from broomsticks and bottle covers.

Ethiopian here

• Horn of Africans(Ethiopians, Eritreans, Somalians and Djiboutians) had enslaved their own and other Africans in many millions for themselves and sold some of them to Middle East and other parts of the world with collaborating with Arabs and Ottoman Turks.

• In this region back then, slaves were classified into 2(red slaves and black slaves). Red slaves were light skinned or dark skinned with Caucasian features and they were mostly from:-
- Abyssinia
- Oromos
- Gurages
- Eritreans and
- Adals(Somalians, Afars, Hararis and Djiboutians)

• The black slaves were mostly from other African countries and southern Ethiopia and they were dark skinned Negros.

• The magnitude of slave trade in East Africa wasn't larger than West Africa. Atse Tewodros II , Yohannes IV and Menelik II had tried their best to abolish slaverly, but it was only abolished officially in 1920s during Atse Haile Selassie I regin. Even if it was abolished, some Ethiopians and Haile Selassie himself had owned slaves in many thousands.

West Africans that were sold during Atlantic slave trade were mostly sold by collaboration between themselves(tribe rulers) and Europeans. The west Africans themselves captured Africans from other tribes or themselves and sold them to Europeans at the costal areas. If you blame, blame mostly your people than Europeans.

This.. this is interesting. I am learning quite a lot that I never even knew about before. I thank you for this educative contribution.

"To err is human and to forgive is divine."

As far as we are concerned T.B. Joshua has not yet ascended to divinity. He does not possess the power nor authority to pardon you or grant you absolution.

He is not God.

Oh salute to Mathematics! The one subject that had students running to Ifa priests and becoming White Garments members during WAEC periods.

Wonderful. I am sure the man never saw it coming.
It must have taken someone with great vision to see it through to the end.

Wait, why was the woman sacked? I did not know that marriage was now an occupation.

The man sha, he must have been crying out his eyes when he realized that three robbers were able to do what he had failed to for years and make his wife moan. E dey pain am!

I can tell by this undecipherable write up that your level of education is under evil siege. It shall be well with you.

Even as a guy, I am baffled at how really sexist this is. Unlike those dumb feminists or feminazis or whatever, I am just here wondering how in the world a husband expects sex from his wife at any given moment and any given whim. Oh, we are married, so I have the licence and freedom to tell you when to bend over and spread your legs for me, and you can never refuse because we are married.

Like what the actual fúck?

Oh, you're not in the mood? I don't care, let me have sex.

Oh, you're sad and crying? Not a reason to refuse me sex.

Without sex there is no marriage because that is the only obligation a wife can't delegate.

Amadioha and Sango are both standing on transformers right now to get the extra thunder needed to fire you. Without sex there is no marriage? Which pornhub video did you steal that from? What happened to communicating? To cuddling? Discussing? Enjoying quality time? Laughing and praying together? What happened to love?

Please, abeg abeg abeg, carry this nonsense away from here before the thunder that fires you makes you start thinking it is a miracle to mix rice and stew.

The reason for this is simple:
They are trying to remain religiously neutral. You will be surprised, but a lot of people perceived mentioning "Jesus" and "God" as "forcing religion (Christianity) down their throats.

And I'm sure most Christian will find it irritating while watching their favorite shows if all they keep hearing are "Allah" and "Muhammad" and "Allahu Akbar".

felixomor:
Typical black man blame attitude
Nobody enslaved you
It was your ancestors that kidnapped themselves and sold each other into slavery.
But wait by now, I thought you should have abandoned western education, after all Slavery was eradicated hundreds of years back.

Keep blaming white man for your problems.




You clearly are ignorant that Egyptians and Ethiopians were among the first set of people to start spreading Christianity to Africa long before even Europe dreamt of it.
The Ethiopian bible is one of the most accurate and complete versions of the bible till date.

Please go and study abeg.
Don't write from shallow history.

Alright, I am not someone above admitting ignorance. I will admit that I was unaware of that fact about the Egyptians and Ethiopians, and I thank you for enlightening me.

However, from what I gathered, the Ethiopians and the Egyptians did not commit the sheer level of slavery and violent acts against humanity that the Whites did.

And what you saying about our ancestors kidnapping themselves and selling each other into slavery, is contradictory with saying no one enslaved us. Africa was enslaved, countless books and depictions will tell you that this happened, we were enslaved by the White race, and you cannot dispute this fact.

wellyjohn:
People who lack knowledge always insult people. Who was Jesus? Jesus Christ is a Myth, and not HUMAN, and never existed as a human . He was created from Egyptian god Osiris thousand years ago. All religions were created from Osiris. Christianity is a pagan religion created from Egyptian gods too.

The problem is that many Black people like you have been brainwashed and misinformed and simply cannot use their head to think. Also Proper African ancient history is not taught in Nigeria Schools, and many African schools and so people have been indoctrinated as a child to believe that Jesus, God, is their saviour .
Africans/Blacks worldwide must wake to understand what really happened to them. They need to study ancient Egypt to clearly understand the historical origin of Christianity, Islam, etc. They also need to understand that the Bible was created from stories copied from other books that existed thousands of years ago. They bible was plagiarised from the" Egyptian book of the dead"

Before you start displaying your ignorance by posting insults please go and read books and study books written by black scholars . Go to Egypt if you have money to see for yourself.

Blacks have been misled and lied to by the Roman catholic churches thousands of years. They are the people who created all these fake religion.

Except Jesus was a real person. There are countless of historical record proving that he did walk the earth, and far too many things considered as proof that he had indeed lived. Kindly do your research properly before you embarass atheists any further.

felixomor:
You are criticising christian missionaries, yet you are using their vaccinations and the western education they brought to you.

Oh yes, because the Christian missionaries brought education and vaccines, it is perfectly acceptable to have allowed them to enslave, rape and abuse the blacks as of the time, and it is perfectly justified that we allow them twist scriptures into demeaning our humanity and making us believe that we are less than humans.

felixomor:
Even before Europeans dreamt of christianity blacks were already taking the scriptures to Africa to share.

Folks of shallow history.

This is the most blatant lie I have heard all week. Where did you even get the impetus to make such a declaration? Do you have ANY proof of this to speak of or are you just someone who tries to sound enlightened?

When Black folks hear sirens, see flashing lights, or someone yells out “police,” they look around and some just start running- weather they’ve done anything or not. They already know from their past experience with the police nothing good could come from encountering them. The only thing police mean to Black folks is false charges, imprisonment, beat downs and possibly getting shot in the back. But strangely and inexplicably, Black folks don’t run when they hear the name Jesus.

The name of the first slave ships to kidnap Black folks from Africa was the Mother Mary and The Good Ship Jesus. The logo in front of The Good Ship Jesus was two Africans bound back to back. The head of all Christian churches, the Pope, said that your ancestors were infidels and it was the white man’s Christian duty to enslave them and teach them about Jesus Christ. Christians built churches over top of the slave dungeons where Africans were shackled. Every Sunday your great, great, great grandparents would hear them singing hymns to Jesus while many of them lay raped and dying on the dungeon floors. If that were you could you imagine your grandchildren singing about Jesus and telling people he died for them when it was actually you who died for them? Columbus killed millions of the indigenous population here in America; literally telling some of them he was sending them to meet Jesus.

The on again, off again Christian, King James (who Black folks love his Bible so much) was a slave owner; he peddled in Black flesh. Black folks have never understood that the bible wasn’t intended for them and was compiled by all Europeans; no Blacks or Africans were involved. Christian ministers used the Bible to justify their treatment of our great, great grandparents (1Timothy 6:1-5) and told them they should act as the “good book” says. The racist mobs that use to lynch your cousins down south did so in the name of Jesus. These Christian mobs often hung Black men, women and children as soon as Sunday service was over; all in the name of Jesus. Christian televangelist Pat Robertson said Blacks in Haiti were being punished for their slave uprising; basically being punished for refusing to be good Christian slaves.

The pale, white, Christian minister Jim Jones killed more Black people at one time then any other man in modern history. Some of the Black folks were even running around calling him “father” and “dad.” In 1978 out of the 900 people he killed, telling them they were going to be with Jesus, over 700 were Black folks. Jones forced or coerced his followers to drink a sweet, poisonous concoction; hence the term people use today; “drink the Kool-Aid.” And guess what; the majority of people who escaped death that day were all white folks! David Koresh took his Jesus Christ theology to a whole new level. He told his followers that he himself was actually Jesus. And Black folks believed that too. In fact, they believed it so much dozens of Black folks and their children were shot or burned to death right along with him during the 1993 Waco siege.

George W. Bush said he put his faith in Jesus Christ as he sat back and watched all those Black folks starve, drown and die during hurricane Katrina.Christian missionaries who go to Africa in the name of Jesus are still there injecting AIDS, Ebola and other diseases into the unknowing populace. Did you forget, it was a Christian who put Anthrax in your own mailbox? Black folks are extremely reluctant to admit that they have been conned. Instead, they work tirelessly to bring others into their Jesus Christ mindset trying to reassure themselves that white folks are right and their own Black ancestors were wrong; never bothering to research the information for themselves.

Every Sunday your pastor tells you the same thing slave masters of old use to tell their slaves about Jesus. That in of itself seems strange doesn’t it? Why would the slave master give the slave his religion?
Answer: To keep him enslaved.

OMG! Like Seriously!

I am a lover of peace but i hate bullies.

Don't think women are still vulnerable ok. We have grown past that stage.

If i face you with Abuse, you will never abuse a woman in your life again.....

Product of a Lagos Slum

Lagos slum? Thank you for telling us the place you were dumped at birth. You hate 'bullies"? You must not have grown up in a proper manner of you can't tell the difference between someone making a joke about you with someone bullying you.

All these girls need is a guy with a big strong kpekus to knack them wella, and the next thing you know, there will be like "En? Lesbian? Warris that?"

StephDamielola:
Like Your Mother sadly Found your Dad despite her flat smelly Butt right?

They have so chopped Vegetable on Spot and now HER BUTT HAS STRIPES

IF YOUR MUM LIES ON THE GROUND, WE MISTAKE HER BUTT FOR A FOOT MAT..

Wawu. You waste no time to toss insults to another person's mother yet your signature calls you a lover of peace. It is this same Hypocrisy that led your father marrying your mother, even after shouting that it is wrong to sleep with dogs.

I do not know who is worse, you, the fool that spent so much money and time on a girl in some cheap attempt to enter her panties, or the gold-digger of a girl, who was only using you for material reasons and nothing else.

You are part of the percentage of guys who believe that as long as you buy meat pie and fanta for a girl, her underwear should drop to her ankles as she spreads for you. I really pity you.

We need a link and a source otherwise anyone can claim anything and people would foolishly believe it. OP provide the link or we know that this is a useless lie and you are jobless person.

If you are too lazy to put the rest on Nairaland, I am too lazy to click your annoying link.

She's worwor isn't she?

Don't worry, just because people can use your buttocks as a chopping board to cook Vegetable soup does not mean you will not find a husband.

Fantasy. None of this is relatable to the average Nigerian couple, much less the average African couple. Where if your wife argues with you, your solution is the back of your hand or her father's house.
Abegi, carry this romanticized western bullsh*t out of here.

There are starving children in Somalia that do not have food to eat and whose bones are weaker than sticks.
There are people with one leg and one hand struggling to make ends meet.
There are the blind, the deaf, the mute, the poor, the sick.
All of these people have not killed themselves yet, and it is you who has everything, you that your only problem is because one useless man doesn't love you, you are the one contemplating suicide?

Please, do us a favor and kill yourself. The day of judgment will tell you how stupid you are.

Indian movie Chennai Express
British Movie About Time

This, is a thought experiment. You wonderful Christians, fellow brothers and sisters that serve the almighty. After doing his deeds on planet Earth, you finally ascend to the Pearly Gates and see the Kingdom of Heaven.
Then, you meet an angel, let's say Micheal. And he tells you, that there is a young, orphaned boy who died of starvation in the desert. Due to how this boy had lived, he never for one day heard the Gospel of Christ.

Normally, he'd be forced to go to hell, but there's an exception, if you, lover of God and upright Christian choose to sacrifice your spot in heaven for him.

What do you do?

(Serious minded Christians only please, atheists and other theists kindly avoid from derailing.)

prove you're not the one being salty


it appears you didn't check out the post I gave
you keep projecting this anger of a thing over and over, argument by assertion I see

I not only called it "meaningless" I explained why its meaningless and you've not in anyway challenged my explanation so far, therefore its safe to say its meaningless and all self deception, your being hurt by that won't change it one bit, get emotional all you want

"Mr True Believer" is used to connote what every believer calls his/herself while calling almost everyone else the opposite, eg, a redeemed member regards himself as "true believer" while calling Synagogue church members an untrue one etc due to this same "personal relationship with Christ" even though he and other redeemed members can't agree on what this Jesus wants and how he really is; the 'No True Scotsman fallacy"

and I never called myself "intellectual"

Damn, if this keeps getting any saltier we'll be swimming in seawater.

I'm not arguing your write-up, nor am I hurt by it. In fact, I find it rather accurate, my problem however is with the delivery. If Martin Luther King had began his "I have a dream" speech with "None of you here are smart enough to understand this, but I'll go on ahead and explain it because I'm a generous guy", do you think anyone would have listened?

I found the article accurate because it also annoys me to no small amount whenever people make the utterance.

However, your good points, excellent sweet points were ruined by needless sarcasm, condescending remarks and just a general self-righteous tone. Which, is counter-intuitive to (what I assume is meant to be) an educative article.

Hence why I deemed it, and you by proxy, as - "Salty."

I don't know whether to laugh or pity you.

hopefulLandlord:
I never said this

I never called anyone "blind" because they have imaginary friends

you've actually gone on a rant while projecting that on me, why not address the thread if you've got anything relating to it or ignore like the majority that have read the post so far?

and to address your rants you can read the post in the below link

https://www.nairaland.com/3397707/best-atheist-quotes-nairaland#50058064

So so salty.
You're coming off less and less like an intellectual individual with valid points and more and more like someone who's just angry at religion and wants to make it suffer. Like it kicked your Barbie dolls, so you decided to steal it's crayons.
Your tone is sarcastic, condescending and arrogant. Viewing other people's perspectives as "meaningless" calling them "Mr True believer" and deluded... Too salty.
Oh, and you're also too arrogant to admit that this entire article is a rant and nothing more.
You're sounding like the cliche hateful atheist and that's why I said it's salty.

Yawn. Another ridiculous rant about how graduates aren't doing much, and comparing Nigerian graduates to that of the rest of the world.

Want a notable feat? Students of Redeemer's University created a device that can accurately test for and discover Ebola and Lassa Virus under 10 minutes. This was approved by the WHO and is being distributed globally.

There are other key notable examples that I'm not going to bother listing, because I see no need. Our economy does not support this type of growth, it does not allow room for innovative ideas. In the West where key capitalists and entrepreneurs pay attention to university students in order to sponsor brilliant ideas and make profit, our Nigerian entrepreneurs are busy trying to figure out how to cut losses on electricity and water. Who has the time or funds to start keeping a nose down for brilliant student inventions? Is it our inept government that can't so much as fix mere potholes on streets? Is it our politicians who are trying to make it seem as though they are working as they stuff their pockets with tax payers money? Or is it the also struggling and developing entrepreneurs who have to prove to customers that their products are above the bar?

As if that is not enough, the mere idea of locally made things are stigmatized. I am certain if you were to enter a plane and were told that it was made by Nigerians, you would immediately be running out of the airport for your life.

I am honestly tired of hearing this crap about students not being innovative. When the lecturers and professors are downright sadistic and backwards, too egotistical to let their students outshine, and instead fail them with the vehemence of demons whipping sinners. When there are 300 students to a small cramped class where the lecturers can choose to show up once a semester. When there are people being awarded for beauty, looks and appeal, and academic merit is viewed in the positive light only by parents and lecturers and shunned by the youths.

Can you then, in light of all these, ask us to be innovative?

Please, be serious.
