Ordinary song request, punna don dey sweat.

Tiwa Sewage must be feeling jealous right now.

must you guys brew issues where there is none? So you get jealous on trivia issues.... Jeez.

Op problem with what you wrote is "crucify" much of the civilizations you mentioned couldn't have crucify someone, putting a man on a cross is not as easy as depicted, the Roman had good records of crucifixion, others... Hardly... Btw who crucify Budha? Atleast have read about that one, the Greek gods were all myths.

ReysonDrabek:
Mate, the romans didnt call blacks anything. The classification of races that tagged black people under "negroes" happened long after the roman empire. Romans were actually known to be quite progressive. Their tags are usually accurate and they dont refer to people by races. You said there instances of nubians in rome so thats exactly what it means, nubians. Thats not an umbrella term for all blacks such that because there were nubians it automatically means other black ethnicities were involved.

Again i'm not rejecting that notion. it had nothing to do with what being abolished when, there are records of sudanese east african and bantu slaves all over arabian manuscripts, why are there none of hausas? like i said, these instances were few. Its easy to speculate but the fellow he listed is the first bonafide account of a hausa person in europe. Like i said, everything else is speculative.

oga please where did the word negro comes from? What's the etymology if that word, I don't know where u get your history from, am not trying to win an argument or try to be right it won't bring me money...hausa yoruba Igbos are much more modern names adopted by these people who share common culture and language, heck a Roman won't know what the hell or ego the hell a Hausa will be or is, anyone from Sudan downwards is negro to them same as the nubians who are the closest Nubians to our own closest Caucasians the Egyptians... Simple no rocket science.

ReysonDrabek:
So what are you talking about, are you talking about nubians as in the occupants nubia during the roman empire or the nubian indigenous ethnic group (yes, theyre black)? Either these points negates your comment that hausas were possibly among them. Because one, the occupants of nubia at the time werent black and nubians as an ethnicity is not an umbrella term for all black people.

Roman's call blacks negros, Nubians are part of Negros, they are the one nearest to the immediate Caucasians because of geography, just like Indians who are Caucasians are the nearest to mongoloids because of Geography too, human race mixed,

If the trans Sahara slave trade is the oldest and biggest in history, definitely hausa slaves must have ended up in Europe at one time or the other, one reason we never had a written account of them is that unlike the transatlantic slave trade that was abolished, the trans Sahara trade wasn't until early 21st century and its still on a way practiced underground, last country that abolish it was Mauritania in the 70s.

ReysonDrabek:
The nubians (people inhabiting nubia) that existed during the roman empire whether your insecurity will allow you to believe it or not were not black, nor were they white. Its like when people ignorantly claimed cleopatra (caesars egyptian wife) was black. During this period the present day egyptians you see (who contrary to popular opinion are not arab but an ethnicity of their own) were already settled in these regions. And if she was probably brown. Some of these nubians had red hair and blue eyes so i dont know what your definition of black is. If you are talking about nubians as an ethnicity then thats an entirely different case because then theres no way theyd be hausas since the manuscript was referencing their ethnicity. The rest of what you are saying i dont really know what you mean, are you talking about mansa musa or what? Again most of the trans saharan trade took place within central to east africa. Sure a few hausas may have found their way there but they had no significant numbers. This is documented as the first because there is no other evidence of hausas present in europe.

I don't call Egyptians Arab, they themselves don't call themselves Arab, Nubians are negro from Sudan, to Ethiopia and from their ancestral land kush, nothing more nothing less, don't confuse them with Maghrebs, Egyptians, Arabs, Indians are Caucasians period, yes the human race intermarries /mix that's why we all have different features, but some are more prominent than others, Nubians are blacks nothing technical about it.

ReysonDrabek:
The "blacks" in rome were mostly numidian and like you said nubian who technically arent even black. Most slaves in the middle east and the ottoman empire were from sudanese, east african and central african regions. Most hausa slaves remained within hausa states like having kanoan slaves in katsina and vice versa. The few hausa slaves that made it out of africa were most likely the ones in kanem-bornu. In any case this was the first documented instance of a hausa person in europe may not necessarily be the first. As far as slavery goes historically hausas were very lucky.

nubians are blacks, nothing like technically black or not, like you said "documented" if that Malian knew what king had set foot in mecca, am very sure lots of blacks from the sahel region must av being to Europe through slave trade, the trans Sahara slave trade was bigger /older than the Atlantic slave trade.

Am. A Christian, if they can wear hijab in the north to write jamb exams, I don't think it's right to stop them from wearing it to write jamb in the south, this is so wrong.

You are a liar jare... Your 11yrs old already did what? Ok can you provide us pictures, or better still the step(s) he/she took in building that whatever.

Maybe you are backward, not me.

All na wash jare.

no be only pictures you for ask for video, not everyone on Nairaland had their classes under mango trees like you.

I went to teni and niniola's father's private school at its peak it was one of the best schools in the country our intro tech lab was top notch, we had workshops with all sorts of tools that will make an engineering department in a university envy, generating electricity with a dynamo was one of the projects I did, heck one of us built a mini transformer using magnets and a wire to build a cool,all this are not innovations, their are diagrams, we should stop being mediocre please.

Na wa ó... Kudos to the young ones, but what is silent inverter pls, that's the same way I downloaded boy who harness wind, thinking I will see something different in innovation, but alas it's a boy over 15 years old making a wind fan to generate electricity with a dynamo... Me 11 years old already did that, I was wondering why they should make that into a film, are we that backward in Africa?

Everyone in this thread choose to ignore that the comment was made by a Yoruba man by the way.

Some people no get work ó... That's so fake.

Sholaco:
Because you married a Muslim, you are now an advocate for a Muslim sister....you better allow them do there thing. Our way in the south west is different from their way in the north. Be careful northern Muslim are extremely wicked. Be warned

oga am a Christian, Yorùbá, I think she is being more vocal cos of her profession not her hubby religion, btw her hubby might b a Christian for all you like, I have a friend that is his surname is Yusuf and he is a Christian... Be guided.. No room for religious intolerance in Yoruba land.

Why has DSS not invited the man that made such a pronouncement? Others might want to flow suit, no room for extremism in Nigeria, the senate must take this threat to life up please.

YabaLeftist:
All these names sound Greek to me. Who the fvck are they?

thank you o

AGUBANZE:
This man ruined Oyo State . His leadership didn’t touch the people of Oke Ogun ( that’s Iseyin, saki ,kisi, igbeti)

There is enough marble in Igbeti that the government could tap into , Oyo State is massive I quiet know, the next incoming governor should try to touch if not almost all part of the state but he should try , look at Ibadan , always lively but poor planning and crime run rampant .

I’m Igbo but I feel like I’m related to Oyo State somehow , lol .


The mountains � there though are worth seeing , you fit even they the mountain dey smoke down the whole community, no shaking for that one .

I pray for a better leadership by the new elected government, I’m counting on him .

thank you for your unbiased opinion, am a yoruba... Lagos indigene that schooled in Ibadan... Anytime I go to Ibadan I fell sad... Looking at how leadership failures, not like my state is way better but Oyo State can really do way better with all the potentials it has.

ajumma:
Truly you dress like a touts..no responsible female passengers will ever condone this type of your dressing...You are servicing a public so in fact so level of decency should be maintained...Can you go and visit your in- laws with that type of dressing or to place of worship with that

nobody with good command of English, will say the word "dressing" in the context you just did, that said its Uber for lords sake, not a normal taxi, if you can watch football with men in shorts or men hiking, there is nothing wrong with what he had on, same you will call him dapper if he wears a short sleeve shirt with a tie on with that shorts and a brooks.

BrownRoofRep:
Yorubas are coward who hide at the thunder of my voice, so, park well.

Read this thread again and note when the scratched face cowards started spewing thrashes.

kindly quote one of them cos I don't see their business here.

BrownRoofRep:
I need to see where Onitsha people say they are not Igbo.
Meanwhile, Yoruba people are the most tribaliststic beings on earth. Their tribal bigotry is second to to none!

you still have to bring Yoruba into a thread that is purely igbó, Yoruba no go kill u.

Sagay212:
Lol...another oloriburuku, mashanfani ,olori pelebe, hating, envious ipod animal. You must blame yorubas for all the problems you face in your misreable life.

lolz and the miserable tot is even a fraud,claiming to be female or are you a lesbian? The uneducated tot does not know the difference between type of government and level of government,

Lets school the tot a lil bit, what ironsi changed is type of government, from federal to unitary, the regions were simply level /components of the federal Government Ironsi changed the system to better suits the way the military commands functions order from above, that's why it was unitary, all powers to the center, we can still reverse to true federalism and still keep the 36 states structure if all states will survive on its own resources.

You need to wake up thinking it's yorubas that is not making your life to be better, maybe you are rich but you want to be richer I bet u will still blame it on Yoruba.

May God help you guys.

PaChukwudi44:
His wife's ambition? Remi Tinubu did not even stand any chance to become special assistant to the DSP let alone the DSP.Story for the gods.Senate leader ko senate Governor ni!! Tinubu has no hold on Abuja politics.He can only take decisions in the Lagos state house of assembly not NASS

under rate him at your own peril... Am not so much of a fan of his, but if you said he has no influence in Abuja politics let me give you some reminders, Tinubu and Buhari is APC, remove one and the structure will collapse, Tinubu oust Oyegun, a man he put there against wishes of others eg ikimi, now Tinubu in Oshiomole, after he was bruised with Kogi and Ondo Elections, intrigues is the name of the game, I bet if he will afford to be caught unaware again, the only reason Saraki was able to pull what he did out that time was because buhari was not interested, I don't think he will try the same thing out, right now.

PaChukwudi44:
You go de alright las las.BTW read the report the APC denied ever endorsing Gbajabiamilla.

that's the point exactly, so what's all the fuss all about?

PaChukwudi44:
It was Tinubu who sold the SW position for his personal greed.Today he is struggling to secure this same position for the SW.That is the real definition of karma.

oga your history must be failing you, party members rebelling party decisions started from PDP.... Bankole comes to mind, after then we had tambuwa, how Tinubu who was not a member of PDP made that happened is beyond me, all am saying is that it has precedence so no need to bring down the heaven if it happens again, no one in APC will lose more than Tinubu and Buhari, remove any one of the two from the equation and APC is dead, I don't think they will take it easy with anyone that tries to go the Saraki way this time around and share the spoils with PDP members, my guess is all this hullabaloo is game of throne for now.

Afospecialk:
The truth is that all SE/SS already surrendered the presidential position bcs they lack any credible nd competent candidacy for the position and believe the Northerners should keep managing the affairs of their of their unborn generation in an attempt to retaliate on what they perceived as betrayal by SW.

The highest thing thats achievable for SE/SS in 30 years time in Nigeria principal offices is the ERAND BOY as they equally refer to Osinbajo.

SS/SE should count themselves out of Nigeria politics


Nigeria politics belong to the SW/North

crap, are you telling me Donald Duke cannot match anyone from the north or SW? Or ezekweli? Which politics belongs to the north and SW? With they way Buhari has skwed appointments to the north? This is a government by the north for Nigeria, so stop deceiving yourself, I only blame PDP for fielding Atiku they could av gone for someone better up north, Buhari would av being defeated.

PaChukwudi44:
There is no way the SW will take VP and speaker .Haba.In today's Nigeria?

but the NW took both the VP and the Speaker in this same today Nigeria.

This guy should just hush it, what will you say about the Chinese then they too are all over the world the Lebanese also, and scientifically its believed the human race came from east Africa... West African tribes are relatively newer to their east African counterparts.

With the Trans-Sahara trade route, I don't think those would have being the 1st to set foot on European soil, my belief is that hausas might have being to Rome and never come back, there are accounts of nubians during Roman empire, not only that during the ottoman empire which is European by the way, blacks were the eunichs at the court.

Embarrassing which Yorubas?

Eko Atlantic belongs to Yorubas and is the pride of Yorubas. You can go hang yourself if it pains you.

deceive yourself as much as u like, go and meet chagoury and tell him that, ẹ yẹ sọ wá lenu, gloating is alien to omluabi.

Bolustical:
Lagos is the baby of the Yorubas and pride of Nigeria.

The only state that the PDP has not and will never rule.

The feats achieved in real estate and property in Lagos is one that would have been impossible without visionary and progressive leaders like Bola Tinubu.

We expect that this will spread to Ogun and Oyo too in no long time.

God bless the Yorubas,

God bless Nigeria.

wan bere, cant you guys stop embarrassing other Yorubas by gloating online? Makes me sick seriously.

Mine is thongs and tights.... Major turn off.

lacapine:
No.child labour here. She is free with us here. She swears I am her mum. If I don't tell you, you won't know the difference just that my kids are way younger. She travels home during some hills and that would have been a good time for her to run away if she didn't want to come back. So its not what you think. Yeah! I shouldn't have and that's why I said I lost it. I sat her down the next morning and we still spoke. She wrote a diary full of how silly she was and all what. I read it without her knowledge. We are close,so I thought. People in the area feel I am too close to her and thats why she misbehaves but I can't treat her otherwise. That I am here asking questions should say a lot na. It shows I place some form of value on her.

I talk and I have talked again. Mk the mother help me too talk small..

cool.... Its ok we can't be perfect but uv done ur own, rest is left to her.
