Kobojunkie:
1. The same son of God also informed you from about 2000 years ago that the teaching/Salvation He brought belonged only to the Lost sheep of Israel --- not to every human out there.

He never ''informed me'' or ''us'' of anything 2000 years ago.

2. The news wasn't maybe meant for West Africa at the time. He sent His followers to teach His Gospel to the Lost sheep of Israel, so if during that time, there were none of them in West Africa, there would have been no reason for them to have headed in that direction at the time.

So what has changed? Why are we now practicing a religion not meant for us?

3. Enjoying what exactly?

The opportunity to be 'saved'. Think how many millions or even billions of Africans steeped in 'barbarism' could have been 'saved' had the news come earlier, rather than 2000 years later.

4. Or it could be indication that men do not and cannot control the dissemination of God's Truth.

It's not about men controlling anything. It's about GOD or 'JESUS' not using their power to ensure the news reached a couple miles down the road in West Africa. As in, ''why wait 2,000 years when you can do it now, oh Lord?''

The Jesus story supposedly occurred 2,000 years ago.

This 'Son of God' came to Earth, preached a new morality for human salvation, performed all sorts of miracles including raising the dead, walking atop a sea, and waking up from the dead himself after being executed. And then ascending up to 'heaven' at a dinner table before friends and onlookers.

So the question is, how come this mighty, pivotal ''Son of God'' bearing the key to human salvation, came to Earth, lived in the so-called middle east, just near north Africa here, yet it was only after 2,000 years that the news of his existence arrived our shores in West Africa?

How far is the middle east, that it should take THE SON OF GOD HIMSELF over 2,000 years PLUS for his message to reach West Africa?

There was caravan trade between West Africa and the middle east. They knew we existed. Certainly GOD knew.

So God just ignored us, and allowed white people and arabs to be enjoying his message of salvation for a whole 2,000 years, and only after those 2,000 years when British thieves decided they wanted to vandalise and loot our land and massacre/enslave us, did He remember us, and introduce us to his 'only son' and his life-saving 'gospel', through them?

It seems really weird.

Perhaps it is a sign the entire Jesus story is a stupid concocted fabrication, since the Creator could never have been so scandalously uncaring and negligent?

I humbly advice inec to declare Peter Obi winner of 2023 presidential election by 8am February 25. No need for conducting elections when the outcome is already known.

Shut up. Which outcome is known?

Village man.

These polls are very suspect especially with regard to their coverage of the rural north where tens of millions of voters who do not participate in digital polling, reside.

I'm not convinced the polling is truly representative of the electorate.

900%?

Sure it's not their 'covid vaccine' causing it?

This country na wa. Sometimes you don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Family Rejects Bride Price Paid In Old Naira Notes

A family in Lagos has refused to hand over their daughter in marriage after the suitor arrived with old naira notes to pay her bride price.

Speaking for the family, a relative of the bride said ''we cannot afford to hand over our daughter to this man with this his old currency. If he wants our daughter, he has no choice but to go out there and find a way to acquire the new currency to pay her bride price.''

It is reported that similar cases are occurring nationwide as the currency crisis continues to affect citizens and households .

Here's a statue of Osiris, the mighty God of Egypt.

See his Nigerian-looking face, with flat nose and thick lips.

Where is 'Asia' or 'Europe' in this face - this sculpture dated to over 300 BC, when most inhabitants of Asia and Europe were still running around in caves?

Listing words that you think are similar between 2 languages as evidence as a link between those 2 languages shows how ignorant you are of Comparative Lingiustics.

Hope you know there are "similarly" sonding words between say Edo and Japaneze.

Of course there are similar sounding words between African languages and EVERY other language outside Africa. Because Africa is the place where SPEECH was invented, and where the first languages were spoken. Indeed, there is evidence that the first Japanese and Chinese were African settlers.

The question is the volume of cognates between two languages, and the number of basic words they share, which linguists point to as proof that both populations once lived together.

On that, the heavy correlation of Nigerian languages and the Ancient Egyptian language is clear and indisputable.

Are you suggesting that Yoruba is genetically linked to Ancient Egyptian when Yoruba is a Niger-Kordofian language whilst Ancient Egypt is Afrasian?

'Afrasaian' is a fake, garbage categorisation invented by WHITE EUROCENTRIC DEMONS desperate to cut the majestic Nile Valley civilization from BLACK AFRICA, to whom it belongs. Unscrupulous elements desperate to credit the glorious achievements of our ancestors to non-African sources.

What is 'AfroAsian' about these Pharaohs? These are black men like you, and you're talking nonsense.

The words have not changed much. This is an undeniable evidence that Yorubas migrated from Egypt.

Absolutely. Even the name of the Yoruba pantheons/religion is Orisha, which is derived from Horus-at, the full name of the ancient Egyptian son of God, Horus.

''According to Olumide Lucas in 'The Religion of The Yorubas', the Yoruba during antiquity lived in ancient Egypt, before migrating to the Atlantic coast. He uses as demonstration the similarity of languages, religious beliefs, customs, and names of persons, places, and things. He wrote that..

"Abundant proof of intimate connection between the ancient Egyptians and the Yoruba may be produced under this head. Most of the principle gods were well known, at one time, to the Yoruba. Among these gods are Osiris, Isis, Horus, Shu, Sut, Thoth, Khepera, Amon, Anu, Khonsu, Khnum, Khopri, Hathor, Sokaris, Ra, Seb, the four elemental deities, and others. Most of the gods survive in name or in attributes or both."

I-Ra-Wo in Yoruba means the star that accompanies the Sun (wo: to rise), Khonsu has turned into Osu (the Moon). These linguistic variations are explained by the author on the basis of the phonetics of Yoruba. He reminds us that the ontological notions of ancient Egyptian, such as Ka, Akhu Ku, Saku, and Ba, are to be found in Yoruba. He also points out that the “pope” of the Yoruba, the Oni, has the same title as Osiris, the Egyptian God, that there is a hill called Kuse, near Ilé-Ifé, and another of the same name in Nubia, near ancient Meroë, to the west of the Nile, in the very heart of the country of Kush''

Wow! These ancient Egyptian words are proper Yoruba words. Like, 98% yoruboid.

Absolutely. Here is a list of 101 words shared by Yoruba and the ancient Egyptian language.


LINGUISTIC SIMILARITIES

''Since Ferdinand de Saussure, the surest way to prove a cultural contact between peoples is to adduce linguistic evidence (Ferdinand de Saussure (1972) General HISTORY OF Africa).

One of the largest inhabitants of Egypt were Yoruboid, and it will be expected that a good percentage of their language will be yoruboid, too.''

Am sorry, but what people say(or are alleged to have said) especially if it in an oral tradition cannot be taken to be True except there are other Lines of Evidences (e.g Genetics, archaeology, comparative linguistics, comparative anthropology, geoclimatic etc) that also complement it.

And this has nothing to do with the "White" man or anything. It is scholarship

All of those highlighted HAVE been demonstrated. Your problem is you shut your eyes to them, and pretend they were not written. Even Olumide Lucas' work explored the anthropological dimension, while Diop showed genetic, archeological and linguistic evidence, right before the United Nations, with other scientists in attendance. Dr Williams actually charted the migratory paths in his book, Destruction of Black Civilization.

So the evidence IS there aplenty. YOUR PROBLEM is that you are waiting for the 'mainstream' white historian establishment to 'CONFIRM' it, and give it their 'stamp of approval'.

And you will wait forever, because they never will.

Oh!! Jeez!!

Whixh part of African history do you want me to school you in

I see you are an Afrocentrist and the extreme, uncritical kind. Funny thing is that I agree with some of what you believe (those things we agree on would be those things that the current facts available points to).


On the Lucas book. I have read it and i do not agree with some stuffs there. There are some similarities between Yoruba(as with some other African civilizations like the Fon Kingdom for instance) but that similarity is due to a common SHARED origin in the then well-watered and later desiccating sahara) as well as later contacts with some kingdoms and societies in what later became the Sudan. I thought i stated that before. But to say that there was a demic migration of Yorubas from Ancient Egypt directly: such extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidences. And there are none or very little now.

Nobody will give you that evidence except the descendants of the people who migrated. And the descendants say they came from Egypt/the Nile Valley, and it is part of their oral tradition across West Africa, and most likely in written African accounts, as will be seen in the yet to be translated Timbuktu manuscripts.

What other ''evidence'' are you looking for?

If your father tells you what his father did, will you ask him to show you evidence?

Why would unconnected ethnic groups all say they migrated from the north if they didn't?

Are you waiting for some WHITE MAN PUBLICATION to say it?

NOT gonna happen, because they won't research it, and don't WANT to research it.

These are people who are still denying that Egypt was even black at all, so why would they chart your migratory paths?

So don't sit there saying ''oh there's no evidence for it'' when your own traditional historians, griots, priests, and monarchs have stated it over and over again.

RESPECT their utterances because they are not idiots. You hear?

Throwing tantrums as expected as any badly behaved CHILD would.

The problem with you peeps is that cos this is a faceless forum you have no idea who you are communicating at times.

By the way, i have read the last 2 books you mentioned there years ago.

I was trying to nudge you away from your fickle-headed delusions so you can be properly guided.

I have asked you to chose any area of African history so some of us can properly school you (assuming you actually want to test and check that huge ignorance of yours)

If you claim to know African history, but have not read The Destruction of Black Civilization by Dr Chancellor Williams, the EPIC work known as the Black Man's Bible, then you do NOT know your history as an African, if indeed you are an African. The late Dr Williams spent 20 years CHARTING THE MIGRATORY PATHS of black Africans fleeing the north southwards in antiquity. He saw the ancient paths lined with skeletal remains of our forbears, which helped him chart their trajectories.

I also do NOT believe you have read 'The Religion of the Yorubas' by Olumide Lucas, where he CLEARLY shows Yoruba - Egypt connections, even finding evidence of HIEROGLYPHS in Yorubaland. He wrote that the Yorubas migrated from Egypt in antiquity.

Excerpts from a research article:

“In this chapter, we shall talk of a possible migration from ancient Egypt. Many traditions point to a fact that an alien group (Egyptians) immigrated to Yoruba land and mixed with the original population. Many oral traditions are replete with these stories.

The Awujale of Ijebu land has shown that the Ijebus are descended from ancient Nubia (a colony of Egypt). He was able to use the evidence of language, body, scarification, coronation rituals that are similar to Nubians’ etc, to show that the Ijebus are descendants of the Nubians.

What the present Awujale claimed for the Ijebus, can be authenticated all over Yoruba land. The Awujale even mentioned that the Itsekiri (an eastern Yoruba dialect) are speaking the original Ijebu language. Since the Nubians descended from the Egyptians, the Ijebu, and by extension, all Yoruba customs, derived from the Egyptian as well. Many traditional Yorubas have always claimed Egypt as their place of original abode, and that their monarchical tradition derives from the Egyptians.

Apostle Atigbiofor Atsuliaghan, a high priest of Umale-Okun, and a direct descendant of Orunmila, claimed that the Yorubas left Egypt as a result of a big war that engulfed the whole of Egypt. He said the Egyptian remnants settled in various places, two important places being Ode Itsekiri and Ile-Ife.

Chief O.N Rewane says “Oral tradition has it also that when the Yorubas came from South of Egypt they did not go straight to where they now occupy. They settled at Illushi, some at Asaba area – Ebu, Olukumi Ukwunzu while some settled at Ode-Itsekiri.” (O.N. Rewane Royalty Magazine A PICTORIAL SOUVENIR OF THE BURIAL AND CORONATION OF OLU OF WARRI, WARRI 1987). Since these oral traditions are passed on by very illiterate people, we can augment whatever is recorded with written sources.

Concerning the migration of some of the Yoruba ancestors from the east, Conton says: ”The Yoruba of Nigeria are believed by many modern historians to be descended from a people who were living on the banks of the Nile 2,000 years ago, and who were at the time in close contact with the Egyptians and the Jews.

Sometime before AD 600, if this belief is correct, these people must have left their fertile lands, for reasons which we cannot now discover and have joined in the ceaseless movement of tribes westwards and southwards across our continent. We can only guess at the many adventures they and their descendants must have had on their long journey and at the number of generations which passed before they arrived. All we can be certain about is that they were a Negro people and that one of the many princely states they founded on their arrival in West Africa…..was Ife”- Conton.

Although we agree with Conton that some of the Yoruban ancestors migrated from Egypt, we tend to toe the scientific line of Cheik Anta Diop, that the ancient Egyptians were pure Negroes. Aderibigbe, an indigenous scholar, also accepts that the Yorubas migrated from Egypt. He says: “The general trend of these theories, most of them based on Yoruba traditions, is that of a possible origin from “the east”.

Some scholars, impressed by the similarities between Yoruba and ancient Egyptian culture – religious observation, works of art, burial and other customs – speak of a possible migration of the ancestors of the Yoruba from the upper Nile (as early as 2000BC – 1000BC) as a result of some upheavals in ancient Egypt”. (AB ADERIBIGBE 1976). Unlike Conton, Aderibigbe was able to pinpoint a cause for the Yoruban migration – war.

Olumide Lucas did a lot of work to show similarities and identities between the ancient Egyptians and the Yoruban peoples. The date that Aderibigbe gave (2000BC – 1000BC) is much earlier than that given by Conton. Aderibigbe’s date corresponds to that of the Hyksos invasion of Egypt 2000-1500BC.

On the possible eastern origin of the Yorubas, Tariqh Sawandi says: “The Yoruba history begins with the migration of an east African population across the trans-African route leading from Mid-Nile river area to the Mid-Niger.

Archaeologists, according to M. Omoleya, inform us that the Nigerian region was inhabited more than forty thousand years ago, or as far back as 65,000BC. During this period, the Nok culture occupied the region. The Nok culture was visited by the “Yoruba people”, between 2000BC and 500BC.

This group of people was led, according to Yoruba historical accounts by king Oduduwa, who settled peacefully in the already established Ile-Ife, the sacred city of the indigenous Nok people. This time period is known as the Bronze Age, a time of high civilization of both of these groups.

According to Olumide J. Lucas, “the Yoruba, during antiquity, lived in ancient Egypt before migrating to the Atlantic coast”.

He uses as demonstration the similarity or identity of languages, religious beliefs, customs and names of persons, places and things. In addition, many ancient papyri discovered by archaeologists point at an Egyptian origin” (Tariqh Sawandi: ”Yorubic medicine: The Art of divine herbology).

It's not your fault. Every stupid small kid with free internet comes online to type rubbish from their brainwashed bead.

Name three books on African history you've read in your life.

Ignorant dunce.

nameo:
Nigerians did not come from Ancient Egypt, Bros

The "similarities" you see(there are also many dissimilarities) is due to the fundamental linkages from the common origins of both Ancient Egypt and some other African civiliations/cultures( from the sahara desert).

Ancient Egypt was African in origin(from the Eastern Sahara); was fundamentally a ("Black" African culture throughout its over 4000yrs history(arising from the origin i talked about earlier); but its people were somewhat "mixed"(depending on time and place) altho the majority of them at the earlier times, esp in Upper Egypt, would have been mostly "Black".

Other African civilisations on the other hand developed on their own terms and trajectory. They didnt arise due to some migatory "super" Egyptians. The small similarities to see is from the common origins i talked about before and maybe some contacts with later civilizations in the Sudan

Absolute rubbish.

You don't get to sit in your little colonised cocoon and discredit the numerous accounts of MIGRATION in our indigenous cultures.

What do our elders have to prove to you when they say we MIGRATED from the north?

Information handed them by their forbears?

You colonised people just sit in your cocoon and type rubbish.

From as far back as the sacking of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD which led to over 1 million Hebrews fleeing into Africa, a number that has surely multiplied to a minimum 600 million descendants living in Africa today, to the sacking of Egypt and Nubia, and the fleeing of their inhabitants southwards. The Yoruba elders say they was a 'great war' - possibly the Assyrian invasion of Egypt, that led them to flee southwards in antiquity.

Another wave of migrants fled the north following the Arab invasion of Egypt in 600 AD. The Africans fled to escape enslavement and forced religious conversion to Islam, with the Yorubas refusing to abandon their Ifa worship for Muhammedan faiths.

How dare you dismiss the accounts of your forbears because you learnt how to speak English?

What happened to the millions of blacks in ancient Egypt then? They just disappeared? They all ran into the Nile and drowned?

What happened to all the blacks who lived in North Africa in antiquity?

Do you even know that the entire north Africa was once populated by millions of black people?

Do you know the Sahara was once fertile and heavily populated with black people?

Where did they all disappear to if not migrating southwards?

You people don't know ANYTHING about your history. That's why you're so damn lost.

WEST AFRICA was the last inhabited place in Africa. In fact the migrants fled to West Africa because the white invaders of Egypt, Israel (which was also black) etc, knew NOTHING about West Africa, and didn't even know it existed. All they knew was Egypt, Nubia slightly south of Egypt, and 'Ethiopia' - basically East Africa.

THOSE regions held the largest number of blacks in antiquity. West Africa was virgin territory in ancient antiquity. Inhabited at most by small bands of 'pygmies'.

That is why the first earliest record of kingdoms and empires there only dates back to the 12th century AD or thereabouts, when Ghana, Mali, Songhai, Benin rose up.

But in East, North East and North Africa, we had the empires of Egypt, Ta Seti, Nubia, Kush etc, boasting large cities like Thebes, Meroe, Axum, and Napata, which were all dated back to thousands of years BC, because those were the regions people lived in in antiquity, NOT in West Africa.

TakeNigeriaBack:
how about Egyptians originate from Nigerians? Why does it have to be the other way around? Low self esteem?

This is the type of nonsense you type when you don't know your history, and think Egypt was white or Arab.

What does it matter what way or the other we originated when Egypt was a black civilization?

Heavy settlement in West Africa is comparatively RECENT. In ancient antiquity, it was virtually empty.

Majority of Africans lived in the North, the present day Sahara desert (which was fertile and inhabited thousands of years ago) North East, East, and South of the continent. What drove major groups to West Africa was fleeing from endless foreign invasions of the Nile Valley, culminating in the Arab invasion of the 700s AD, and the rapid desertification of the Sahara.

This is why ever major group in West Africa has a tradition of having migrated from 'the north' in ancient times.

The Link Between Modern Yoruba and Edekiri and Ancient Egyptians

By Reno Omokri at the Great Pyramid of Giza, in Cairo, Egypt

I have been in Egypt for the past few days, investigating the origins of religion. I can’t say all I have found out. The last time I wrote what I found out in Israel, it was a shock to many. So, I will only give a diluted version.

First and foremost, there is nothing like Moses. That name was distorted by the Masonic European translators of Scripture. The original name is Mose. It is NOT a Hebrew or Jewish name. It is an ancient Egyptian name. Mose did indeed kill an Egyptian who maltreated a Hebrew slave. But, there was more to his leaving Egypt than that. There was a power struggle. Mose left Egypt (which in reality is called Kemet, from where we get Chemistry and Alchemy, because the ancient Egyptians were masters of magi, which means wisdom, but which has been twisted to the word magic, which is similar to witchcraft) and was married to an Ethiopian woman (Numbers 12:2). Do you know what Moses is called in Amharic (Ethiopia’s official language)? Mose. They kept his original name! The Hebrews/Israelites/Israelis, call him Moshe (till today), because of their problem pronouncing the letter S (please read Judges 12:6). The Arabs call him Musa.

Coincidentally (or not), ancient Egypt had a Pharaoh named Thut-Mose the First. Last year, I wrote an article ‘The Ijebu, the Yoruba and their influence on the Bible and Judaism’. Read it. Then Google and compare the image of Pharaoh Thut-Mose with that of the Ife Bronze image of an Ooni of Ife.

Do you know that the word Mose is actually a name in Edekiri (the original name for the Yoruba) language? Mose is short for Mosebolatan (which means ‘I thought my glory was finished’). It could be said that when Mose left Kemet, he thought his glory was finished!

Just as the Europeans come and take cocoa from Africa and refine it in Europe, only to sell it to us as chocolate, so have European Masons taken our pure and undefiled FAITH, refined it, and bamboozled us by selling us RELIGION. Mose existed. Christ existed and still exists (in heaven). He is the only way to God, who actually exists. But I encourage Africans, read the Scripture in the original language (Hebrew and Aramaic). It is possible. I do it. Apostle Suleman has read the entire Scripture in Hebrew and Aramaic, 34 times. Do it and you will never be the same.

The ‘Yoruba’ people are some of the most spiritual people on Earth, (if not the most spiritual bar none). Sadly, however, a lot of Yoruba people do not know that there is absolutely nothing like Yoruba as a people or as a language or a people. Yoruba is a modern creation, from a mispronounced Fulani word.

The term Yoruba did not exist before the 19th Century. Yoruba is just like the English language, which was created as a mishmash of several Germanic languages, including German, Danish and Dutch, when a mixed mash of Saxons came to Britain in the 4th Century and mixed in with the Angle tribe that was native to Britain. When Samuel Ajayi Crowther was captured by Fulani slave traders from his village of Osoogun in 1821 at the age of 12, he reported that he could neither speak nor understand the language of the villages they passed through on the way to Lagos. These were villages in present day Ogun and Oyo. Google it yourself. Don’t take my word for it.

At that time, there was Egba language, Ijebu, Owu, Awori, Ijesha, Ondo, etc. So how did Yoruba come about? When the Portuguese entered Eko and changed the name to Lagos, it became a big trading post and attracted a variety of Edekiri people (Edekiri is the actual name for the group of languages now referred to as Yoruba).

Gradually, they evolved a mixture of their various dialects and thus began the origins of the modern Yoruba language. As Lagos grew in importance under the British, so did the new language grow in vocabulary and spread. But if you understand the pure roots of Edekiri languages, you will be able to understand bits and pieces of almost all languages spoken from modern-day Kwara, to Kogi, to Edo, to parts of Delta, and to the Southwest states, and to Benin Republic.

Now, in my present pilgrimage to Egypt, a land that was known as Kemet by the original Black inhabitants who were pushed deeper into Africa by wave after wave of invaders, my Egyptologist guide kept on mentioning names that would sound familiar to anyone who is aware of the pure Edekiri language before it was diluted in Lagos. One of such names is Tiye, wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and daughter of Yuya and Tuya. Tiye was Black. This is undisputed in Egyptology. Her DNA was tested. But the interesting thing is that the root word of Tiye’s name and the name of her parents (Yuya and Tuya) is Iye or Iya, which is the pure Edekiri word for mother.

Do you still doubt me? Okay. Let’s go deeper. Tiye’s son, who succeeded his father as Pharaoh was Smenkhkare. Google it. That is a pure Edekiri name that is still being used as a name amongst the Edo of Benin. You have such similar names as Nosakhare, Nehikhare. Another of her son’s name, who also became Pharaoh, is Akenaten. This is also a root of Edekiri ‘s name that is still being used in Benin till this very day. In fact, the Binis had a king (Oba) named Oba Akenzua. You will also notice a strong similarity between the ancient Egyptians and the Edekiri people – they did not write their history in words. They carved it, in wood, stone, and metal, using symbols.

Now, let us talk about the pyramids of Egypt (which are in reality the Pyramids of Kemet). They were built 4600 years ago. By who? Google the Groundnut Pyramids of Nigeria. They were built entirely by native Hausa people. They were not built under the direction of the British. Native Hausas built them just like they once built the pyramids in Egypt. Do you know there are pyramids in Nigeria? Google the Nsude Pyramids. These are pyramids built by people of Igbo origin for their god, Ala. it is not known exactly when these pyramids were built, only that they are prehistoric.

Many Black Africans are surprised to learn that the Oba of Benin actually had a full scale pyramid in his palace before it was destroyed by the British, during their invasion of Benin empire in 1897. Why would the British destroy a pyramid? What quarrel did they have with it? I do not know. I can only theorise that they did it because it upset their version of history with regards to the ancient Egyptian pyramids.
Unfortunately for them, British missionaries took a picture of the pyramid before it was destroyed.

This picture is today in a Jos Museum. Now, I previously wrote that the biblical Moses is not named Moses, but in reality his name was Mose and that he was of Black origin. Recall that when the ancient Israelites were dying of snake bites in the wilderness, the Scriptural Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole and anyone who looked at it was saved from death (see Numbers 21:9).

According to 2 Kings 18:4 identified the name of that snake as Nehushtan. That word Nehushtan is similar to the Bini word N’ehi, which means what destiny did. Could Moses’ snake be the snake of destiny? I ask, because on the Oba of Benin’s pyramid that was destroyed by the British, there is a coiled snake (Google the picture).

You will also notice that a coiled snake (cobra) is always found on the ceremonial headdress of ancient Egyptian Pharaoh’s.

The truth is that, had the British not destroyed the ancient Benin Kingdom, we may have been able to draw much more precise linkages between their civilisation and that of the Kemet of ancient Egypt.

I believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I believe that Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. I believe in the Holy Spirit. However, let me state that modern European Christianity, as differentiated from the pure faith that Christ brought to Earth, has done so much damage to the psyche of the Black African. Not all of our ancient ways are evil. Some of them were and are more Godly than the so-called ‘Christian’ practices of the West.

I recall when I worked in the British Parliament and I met with the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. This was in 2003. My father was visiting me from Nigeria. I was so excited after shaking the Archbishop, that I refuse to wash my hands and I rushed home to tell my father. I will NEVER forget what he told me. I am quoting him.

This is a man who always spoke impeccable Queen’s English (he was educated by the British). He shouted at me ‘go wash that your dirty hand. Archbishop when dey support gay priest Na that one be Archbishop’!

While many of the European missionaries, like Mary Slessor, and David Livingstone, were sincere, a lot of them were not. What they did was take advantage of Africans, who were sincere in their worship, and weaponized their zeal, while starving them of true knowledge. Let me assure you of one thing, if you read Scripture in its original language (not as hard as you think), your life will never be the same.

Aristotle (384-322 B.C.E.) Greek philosopher, scientist, and tutor to Alexander the Great.

Aristotle is said to have written 150 philosophical treatises.

He wrote:

"Too black a hue marks the coward as witness Egyptians and Ethiopians and so does also too white a complexion as you may see from women, the complexion of courage is between the two."

(Physiognomics, Vol. VI, 812a)

Buhari4sale:
Yes except igbos

Wrong.

''The religious pantheon of the Igbos and the ancient Egyptians share many similar ancestors, many of them bearing identical names.

They shared the sun-god worship of Ra, Chukwu Ra; Egyptians were similarly fetishitic about circumcision, and menstrual periods like the Igbos. Similar hair styles, similar martial arts and self defense schools, similar social structures.

But for now, we will focus on some observed lingusitic similarities that exist between ancient Egyptian language and present day Igbo language, for many Egyptian words yet survive in the Igbo language today. This is a current topical area of research in linguistics and history.

A small list of Ancient Egyptian words which survive in the Igbo language are as follows:
