omojeesu:ABSOLUTE HORSESHIIT. BETTER GO AND DO SOMETHING USEFUL WITH YOUR LIFE INSTEAD OF IMAGINING RUBBISH. BRITAIN CAN’T EVEN DEFEAT NIGERIA IN WAR TODAY. THEY ARE FINISHED AS A WORLD POWER, AND IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DECADES THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY WILL SURPASS THEIRS. |
able20:CRAWLING LIKE WHAT BABY? ABEG SHUT UP WITH THAT NONSENSE TALK. INFERIORITY COMPLEX. IT IS YOU CRAWLING, NO ONE ELSE. Somebody needs to show you self haters what Nigeria was like in 1960 so you can appreciate how far you have come. NONSENSE. |
Sleekfingers:MUMU. SEE HOW EASY IT IS TO PENETRATE YOUR CULTURE WITH FOREIGN NONSENSE? WILL THE BRITISH ALLOW YOU TO “INSTALL” ANYTHING NIGERIAN IN HEATHROW AIRPORT? |
Bmaster:OH GO TO BLAZES. YOU SPEAK ONLY FOR YOURSELF AND IPOB. GET LOST AND STAY LOST. OUTCAST. |
Sheuns:MUMU. Do you have any idea how any of those 3 countries became wealthy? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS AN ARTIFICIAL WESTERN CREATED COUNTRY, DESIGNED TO SERVE WESTERN INTERESTS AND WESTERN POWERS. SO IT IS ASININE TO MENTION THEM. |
Colonial looters of Nigeria. What do they want now? |
sreamsense:Do you think that one knows who his father is? Even his mum doesn’t know. |
TOMORROW SOME ILLITERATE IDIOTS WILL SAY WE SHOULD “BREAK UP NIGERIA”,. IF YOU BREAK UP, ALL THIS IS GONE. YOU WILL BECOME LITTLE MUSHROOM COUNTRIES NOBODY TAKES SERIOUSLY OR LISTENS TO. DO YOU KNOW HOW COUNTRIES LIKE SIERRA LEONE, SENEGAL, TOGO, KENYA, GHANA, ETC FEEL WHEN THEY SEE THE NIGERIAN PRESIDENT AT ALL THESE SUMMITS, FROM BRICS TO G20? THEY THINK “DAMN! WISH OUR PRESIDENT COULD BE THERE!”. IT’S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE REASONS THEY DISLIKE NIGERIANS. WE ARE JUST TOO PROMINENT IN EVERYTHING, MAKING THEM LOOK LIKE MUGS. LIKE DULL COUNTRIES. GOD BLESS THE MIGHTY FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, AND MAY SHE GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH. |
BuhariAdvocate:You and who is “we”? You are on your own, IPOB. You are not a Nigerian, so leave “we” out of your talk, please. |
Sharpsharp00123:Don’t mind the demonic tribalists. |
ONLY A COMPOUND ILLITERATE OF THE FIRST ORDER WILL BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE 1.3 MILLION NIGERIANS IN PRISON IN INDIA. YOU MUST BE AN ABSOLUTE DUNDERHEAD TO BELIEVE THAT. MY GOODNESS! I JUST CHECKED, AND THE ENTIRE PRISON POPULATION OF INDIA IS 575,000. SO WHERE DID THESE PRIMITIVE BUSH MEN SEE 1.3 MILLION NIGERIANS? ARE YOU SURE ONE OF THEM DIDN’T SEE 1,030 AND CALL IT 1.3 MILLION? |
MrEverest:See this fool boasting over someone else’s stolen money. Does Obi share his Pandora dollars with you, or you just praise him for nothing? Olodo Pandora worshipper. Upon all your worship, if you venture near his house or office, his boys will flog your asss with koboko, and chase you away…..Riffraff feeling important. |
MadPolitician:Be more positive. Exploitation of African countries will not continue indefinitely. African countries are fighting back. Follow the news. |
Haven’t heard from the rabble rouser in a long while. I wonder if his wife locked him up in the house and told him to focus on his family for once in his life instead of poke nosing into governance and other stuff that doesn’t concern him. |
rtdCivilservant:Are you serious? |
ogaemma:1.3 million what? Dude, please get off the bottle. |
flexyrule:GARBAGE. It is your life. If someone is promising you heaven in Libya, say thank you, and then use your phone to go on Google to find out about Libya. SIMPLE BASIC COMMON SENSE. They are not illiterates. They attended school. They know how to search online. |
opera1:As far as Nigerians are concerned, anywhere outside Nigeria, ESPECIALLY IF THE PEOPLE ARE LIGHT SKINNED, must be “better than Nigeria”. Even if they are fighting war there. Even if they have no president. No government there, it doesn’t matter. SO PLEASE LEAVE THEM TO ENJOY LIBYA. 🙏 Do you know that you have BANKERS who left Nigeria to Libya without spending ONE MINUTE to research that country or the situation there? And ended up as slaves there? These are university graduates! What is the point of attending university if you come out of it and still reason like a donkey? Please just leave them in Libya. |
WHO WILL TEACH THESE BLOCKHEAD NIGERIAN YOUTHS THEIR GLORIOUS AFRICAN HISTORY OF HIGH CIVILISATION, SO THAT THEY CAN STOP FEELING INFERIOR TO OTHER RACES? IT'S AN ABSOLUTE SCANDAL. |
...ctd... 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.” https://s3media.freemalaysiatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/benin-bronzes.jpg https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2018/06/20/TELEMMGLPICT000164862843_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqLZ1bJd-I99VgiaPxe-UMcC6-Lp4metz6QMdj34ESPoA.jpeg 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. Lost world Now, however, the great Benin City is lost to history. Its decline began in the 17th century, sparked by internal conflicts linked to the increasing European intrusion and slavery trade at the borders of the Benin empire. Then in 1897, the city was destroyed by British soldiers – looted, blown up and burnt to the ground. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace ............ |
Ringstonermasks:So out of the 50 million blacks in America, none is competent to serve in government? WHAT MONGREL GAVE BIRTH TO YOU. EMPTY HEAD? Would you accept the argument for exclusion if it comes to your ethnic group in Nigeria, on the basis that none of you is competent? YOU FILTHY ANIMAL. You will NEVER accept that excuse, but AFRO-AMERICANS should? WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACKS? I MEAN, YOU ARE TRULY SICK IN THE HEAD. Anyways, this draws me to last month discussion on how the Britain milked Nigeria in colonial era... Blacks forgetting that without Britain in Africa, we would never know wat cars is, and we will still be dancing naked with spears... Respect d truth.YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT OF MILLIONS OF OTHER NIGERIANS: YOUR HEAD IS EMPTY OF YOUR HISTORY. THAT IS WHY WE CALL YOUR TYPE ''DUMB AND DUMBER''. HERE IS YOUR HISTORY, YOU EMPTY-HEADED NITWIT: Benin City, The Mighty Medieval Capital Now Lost Without Trace https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/e0fd6147a67600c3bfa00ad8b0761b8b5c9a57d1/43_198_1101_660/master/1101.jpg?width=1020&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=8b57e78ea071e6c059b7c9a3b1e0a4d1 Benin City was described as ‘wealthy and industrious, well-governed and richly decorated’. Illustration: Decompiling Dapper: A Preliminary Search for Evidence Guardian Newspaper, UK https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-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? 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 [in Egypt]”. 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 of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”. Barely any trace of these walls exist today. 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”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. 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. In the middle of the streets were turf on which animals fed. “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”. Family houses were divided into three sections: the central part was the husband’s quarters, looking towards the road; to the left the wives’ quarters (oderie), and to the right the young men’s quarters (yekogbe). Daily street life in Benin City might have consisted of large crowds going though even larger streets, with people colourfully dressed – some in white, others in yellow, blue or green – and the city captains acting as judges to resolve lawsuits, moderating debates in the numerous galleries, and arbitrating petty conflicts in the markets. 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. |
ednut1:THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION SAYS NO SUCH THING. ''The Nigerian Constitution does not explicitly mandate ethnic or racial representation in the cabinet. However, like the United States, Nigeria’s governance system has evolved in response to its diverse population, leading to political practices that emphasize inclusion and regional balance...'' - AI (ChatGPT) So TINUBU CAN APPOINT AN ALL-YORUBA CABINET IF HE WANTS.

Kayberg:This one thinks Nigeria is rich. Dude, Nigeria's budget for this year is 59 billion dollars. Meanwhile ''the South African national budget for 2024 is $147 billion''. What this country needs is further economic diversification to increase annual revenue. Not people like you parroting hallucinations about tremendous wealth being squandered. |
