Speak for yourself. YOU are the person who cannot invent.

If you want a list of Black African inventions, use ChatGPT to educate yourself instead of feeling inferior.



You are WRONG.

There are no statues of Arab Moors in Europe.

Not ONE.

All the statues and paintings of the Moors are of Blacks, and they were kings and queens throughout Europe for over 800 years.

The African Moors were the colonialists, not the colonised.

The Ghana Empire, Mali Empire and Songhai Empire they migrated from had indigenous religion and Islam by way of choice. They weren’t conquered by Arabs. Islam got there via trade and interaction.

At annual Moorish festivals in Europe, they paint their faces Black to represent the Moors.

That thing in your head that makes you feel small and insignificant, remove it from your system.
There are paintings showing Arabs,the names of the Arab leaders of the invaders are widely known, you can use chatgpt to know them.

There as been no local technology development for the world since 1960,that's what I mean by inventions,not individual inventions

You have a very poor reading of history.

Slavery is not unique to Africa.

Black Africans enslaved Europeans for probably longer than Europeans enslaved Africans.

Do you know that the Vikings used to capture their fellow whites and sell to the Black African Moors?

Do you know Black West Moors ruled vast territories in Europe from the 7th to 16th century?

That’s 800 years.

Is 800 years a joke?

Stop stereotyping Africans, okay?

If Europeans are so superior as you think, why was Africa able to Colonise them for 800 years?

Should I start posting the Moorish statues dotted all over Europe?

We will never forget the glorious achievements of our ancestors who took civilisation to the world.

Without our Black African ancestors who invented everything the world uses today, from writing to mathematics to medicine to architecture to the Calendar to Iron Smelting and chemistry, the entire world would be living in Caves.

And we will shout it to the rooftops.

I’m not your president or governor, so don’t tell me to focus only on current issues. Our History is Very Important. We Must know who we are, what we did, and what we are capable of.
Black Africans invented everything but cannot invent anything now,the moors where led by Arabs just so you know,the mere fact they were Muslims shows they were colonised

PoliticsSingle Term Is The Political Solution by okpouman(op): 1:19am On Aug 15, 2025
I think the best arrangement for Nigeria political office will be single term of four years for a candidate.

Let me explain, the candidate for president or any other office can only serve a four years tenure and cannot run again for second term.

This candidate must be the head of the party,so a failure of the candidate means the party as failed and electorates will look to vote the opposition.

If the candidate performs well within four years his party will be rewarded by the electorates for another four years.

This way it will save the country from an incompetent selfish person like the former ex presido who damaged the economy and had to be endured for 8 years.

This way the power of any office holder is reduced significantly and the candidate of a party will need to perform if that party wants to remain in Power, it will somewhat be like a parliamentary system where the party will be more careful About the competence of the candidate,it wouldn't just be about the popularity or political ability of the candidate but more about if the candidate can deliver as a president or governor.

The candidates need to be the face and leader of their parties,it will reduce the influence of personalities and encourage competence,cos a party risk loosing power after 4 years if their party fails,in other words it will make people vote parties rather than personalities. Cos if a candidate emerged from a party ,elected by the members of that party as their HEAD and flops as a president or governor( who would be heads of parties of various states). That party will be seen as not able to produce a competent head.

I believe it will strengthen internal democracies of parties because a candidate has to be a member of the party for atleast a year to be eligible to contest a party position ,and will serve as opposition if his party is not in power ,so will be in the public eye,leading the party and criticing the government,like what obi is doing,not that they'll just be quiet for years then only come out when it's time for election and without the electorate knowing the mind of the person and his ability to lead,the person contests an election and wins and plunge the country into a mess

slavery was in every culture as far as I can recall,slavery isn’t the problem it’s the mentality we have that is the problem,we know see ourselves as inferior which isn’t the truth,we have lost our culture and identity in the name of civilization,mind you culture is the backbone of every great civilization once that culture is replaced with an alien one it weakens that people
The Europeans and arabs made West Africans and East Africans particularly to take slavery as an industry,a business venture,in most cultures slavery mostly occurred after defeat in wars,but Europeans generally made Africans to turn slavery to a business venture and Africans fell for it.It almost irreparably damaged the ego and reputation of blacks forever.

It will take a lot for Africans to undo the damage the ancestors caused

SportsCHAN 4-0 Loss.when Will Nigerians Accept Realities by okpouman(op): 6:22pm On Aug 14, 2025
After the chan super eagles 4 -0 loss to Sudan.Nigerians began their usual deflections eg the players were all from one club( remo stars),they were wrongly selected, the coach is bad etc etc.

When will Nigerians just accept the reality that Nigerias locals can hardly achieve success.Nigeria won the wafcon largely with mercenaries ( foreign born hires),same with super eagles( foreign born hires),women afrobasket( foreign born hires)

Nigeria has so deteriorated that nothing local can really achieve success outside music and tech which are generally individual games.

Anything that requires collective work is bound to fail from Nigeria with local hires.

Nigeria only has 2 caf approved stadiums. While SA under a successive black governments for 30 years have 13 stadiums.

Yet Nigerians don't care ,everyday they keep shouting man u,arsenal Chelsea etc , while their country teams are in ruins.

Nigerians should stop deflecting,without foreign born they are nothing.

Nigeria is not a successful country
Nigeria is an underdeveloped poor country

This is the hard truth Nigerians must accept if they are willing to make progress.

Once again I give it up for black southAfricans,

They are the true model for success in Africa.

South Africa is the giant of AFRICA

A populated unintelligent country doesn't amount to much.

Food for thought for the major tribes of NIGERIA who account for the critical mass of the components of the country.


They have consistently failed AFRICA.

DNA SHOCK - English Scientists Stunned To See West African Ancestry in Ancient England!


DNA shows mass West African settlement and ancestry in Early England, confirming the growing scientific consensus that precolonial Black Africans were not ‘tribal’.

They were global.

Our ancestors did not just sit in village huts.

They were builders of great civilisations both in Africa and beyond Africa.

The truth of our glorious history is finally emerging in this Age of Aquarius.

The Age in which all that is hidden shall be revealed.

A salute once again to our illustrious, great, and powerful ancestors.

https://www.lancashire.ac.uk/news/ancient-dna-west-african-ancestry
My issue with you people is that you say so much about black exploits,but you people miss a critical point,blacks ruined themselves,they allowed themselves to be destroyed, they indiscriminately sold their people ( other black tribes) into SLAVERY that singlehandedly ruined the reputation of blacks forever.when given a clean slate after independence they again messed themselves up,blacks have been it's own problem

that's where the focus should be,blacks should stop ruining themselves,

It's very evident in countries like NIGERIA, the way things are done how Blacks self sabotage and ruin themselves.

Nigeria has no reason to be were it is today but self sabotage as placed it today were it is.

The black major tribes have always self sabotaged for generations and are unwilling to change till date.


It is this self sabotage that ruined ancient blacks and are ruining today's blacks again

Kushites:
Who told you they didn’t practice native spirituality? There was always an incorporation of the native dimension. It wasn’t shunned.

The reason they adopted Islam was that after the loss of Kemet (or Egypt) to Arab invaders in the 7th century the trans-Saharan trade became dependent on having good relations with the fanatical Arab Islamists and nomads of the north, who would attack or block caravans from non-Muslim kings etc.

So it was economic.

In no way does that deviate from their indigenous knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, law, ethics, metallurgy, philosophy, architecture, medicine and the sciences, which Enriched Islam, since African knowledge in those areas predated Islam by over 150,000 years.
It doesn't mean much,as long as Africans have not built a single modern development state as we speak these Moorish pictures doesn't change a thing

This is just a typical example of the numerous festivities and celebrations of elites and wealthy people in Nigeria.

They make money in NIGERIA but spend it most abroad.

Not only that they only use foreign hospitals, send their children to foreign schools.

What exactly is Nigeria to them?
Just a money generating Center? Which kind of humans are these for godsakes.

Why can't they see the beauty in Nigeria or make Nigeria a beautiful peaceful fun country? Or they are waiting for the whiteman to come fix Nigeria for them?

That's why I give it up for black SAns ,they built the best African country in the world and they enjoy their country. Their people stay in their countries and build.

This is especially true for the major tribes who constitute the majority of Nigerians, yet they can't have their fun in their own God given land ,they can't enjoy their own country. Yet any simple comment about the country warning of the ills therein like from kemi badenoch,they start fuming.Yet they can't stay in their country.Reno is a big example.

He doesn't stay in Nigeria but feigns being the best lover of Nigeria.

They always love the country from faraway

You hear they say oh they visited this city,that city it's the most beautiful in the world.

Haha, favorable trade... Ha you haven't even done your research but yet you sound confidence benin is my tribe so you will relax when i tell you about it....

Britsh never enjoyed favorable trade with benin or any local African tribe... Even if they did man greed is insatiable, the Portuguese stop trading with benin after 200yrs of trade because benin trade with them wasn't favorable if that could be done to Portuguese of all people then who were the britsh....

Benin controlled all coast European ship were stationed in the Niger coast so meaning benin controlled all price in their favour and several complain from other ethnic group were constantly coming and was ignored by European because they didn't want a fight not until the invention of the machine gun of 1884, the European had the advantage over Africa they went for the Berlin conference that year and petition for Africa to be scrumbled...already they had attacked other kingdoms like Ashanti and Zulu for selfish reasons to control their territory and trade earlier, ask yourself even when benin controlled all their trade why didn't there attack benin empire earlier.... Because benin was an empire and the Zulu and Ashanti were kingdoms that grew from slave trade, even when we attack the overzealous Philip and his crew men at the borders, they didn't retaliate instantly they had to wait for their arrival of their powerful weapon, benin trade never favoured European or the other tribe.... But they couldn't do anything....

I know you're igbo and you're a bit learned but tribalism is taking toll on you....
point of correction ,am not igbo,neither Yoruba nor Benin,but from kogi.
Britain did not attack African kingdoms indiscriminately,even though people think that way.

They always signed treaties and expected the kingdom to comply with the treaty,if the kingdom did not comply,they'll move in and attack,benin refused to comply with the british after they signed a treaty,The philip consul wanted to intimate the oba of the need to comply,but they were ambushed and killed.Therefore the british decided to move in and punish the oba and benin.

The reasons britain moved against ashanti and south africa earlier is that the ashanti were fund of raiding and attacking the british establishments and british subjects -the fante,the same reason they moved against the zulus because the zulus always raided and attacked British possessions.Thats why Britain attacked them earlier than benin and most nigerian kingdoms,because they enjoyed favourable trade along the nigerian coast,when trade became unfavourable they attacked,eg the case of the ijebu,nana of itserikiri and the nembe of ijaw before benin.

The Benin never raided or attacked British possessions eg their trade factories along the coast,that's why Britain let them be,not because they were afraid of Benin like you claim.
