So, your religion is what determines your knowledge, in your head?

How so?

It shows that they were an already colonised people somewhat,as they did not practice native spirituality

Kushites:
What ''grandparents''??

Your grandparents were children when the colonialists were drilling anti-African propaganda into their heads after coercing them to become christian after demonising their traditional spirituality, after bombarding, burning down and looting their cities, such as Great Benin.

Your grandparents know NOTHING about pre-colonial Nigeria or Africa.

Do they know that Iron Smelting - the technology responsible for the modern world we enjoy today, was invented in Lejja, near Nsukka over 4,000 years ago?

Do they know that we manufactured glass and exported manufactured soap to Europe before the colonialists invaded?

Do they know that the Benin Empire built a wall that was 4 times longer than the Great Wall of China?

Do they know that Benin City had streetlights and underground drainage 300 years before London?

Do they know that Yoruba binary mathematics, with its 256 elements is the root of modern computing, with its 256 codes?

Of course they don't.

Of course you don't.

If you want to know your pre-colonial history, you need to READ and RESEARCH it.

Am talking about what they experienced as children in their own villages,they experienced the core village life of some times past,your so called fables doesn't count

gregyboy:
Lol... Funny... The so called people you assumed they respected from my knowledge were attacked by the britsh because they believed the people were too easy to take on with their little weapon they had on them they didn't try with bigger empires they knew they couldn't, just like the benin empire they had to wait until the invention of machines guns even when benin attacked them in 1897 they didn't retaliate until they got the weapons from uk to defend themselves, that's respect benin was fallen under months, but of the advantage of the machine gun.... That they brought into battle, the weapons they ordered from uk for the benins after bringing down benin was taken to Ghana and South Africa to end the long war they had with them there,

Very untrue,Britain did not attack Benin because they were enjoying factorable trade with Benin not because they were scared to attack,they didn't enjoy such favourable trade in Ghana or SouthAfrica.

Southern Nigeria was booming in palm oil TRADE

Kushites:
What is false about it?

Name ONE thing you saw that is not true in that video.

The level of self loathing among you so-called Nigerians is deeply alarming.

As far as you are concerned, courtesy of your colonial miseducation, all your ancestors did was sit in the village and bush. Anything else must be a lie.

God help you.

It's not about self loathing, why do people like you not talk about the indigenous subsaharan African culture and states but always focus on some so called black people outside

Kemetian:
Also, it’s not only in Taiwan or Asia they celebrate their ancient African kings.

They do it in Europe too.

Your West African ancestors known as the Moors, ruled large parts of Europe between the 7th and 16th century, nearly 900 years.

Europeans hold festivals till today where they paint their faces black and wear African attire, to celebrate the Moors.


Europe celebrates the Moors in Blackface


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYCbjRLvPfs?si=SX3J-1dCWC1XYLEJ

The moors were not West African, stop the lies.These moors were Muslims ,even if they were black, their knowledge wasn't indigenous because they were Muslims

Kemetian:
Who claimed anybody’s culture?

Africans explored, settled, and ruled in Every land on Earth, because Africans are the firstborn of Creation, predating all other races by at least 200,000 years.

This is not in scientific dispute.

So there is widespread evidence of ancient African presence in other continents.

You are misled by the colonialist curricula of the Nigerian “education” system, which does not teach Nigerians their true Pre-colonial African history of achievement, global exploration, innovation, and majesty.

You were taught that your ancestors were nothing but illiterate, mud hut villagers before the English came to “civilise” them.

Anything deviating from that narrative, your head cannot handle.

It’s tragic.

It is not about what people were taught but what they experienced, people had grandparents and parents who knew life before the colonialist you know

sparko1:
They worked to win the cup, the cup is money, winning it means more money for Nigeria, it's only normal for them to eat from it.

1milliion dollars is the cup money but the government doled out more than that

Edo- the Benin kingdom was a very ancient organised and capable kingdom. With talent and capacity.

With far reaching exploits.

Why is Benin nothing to write about today.

Why can't they revive the capability of their forebears.

They haven't they made much progress since.

dilliond89:
what he did is helping Lagos till date

So without the whiteman you people cannot progress?

He slavishly sold the region to the British

The poster is contradicting himself, like these pro black were kangz always do.

You said blacks were the only people on earth prior and whites emerged as a mutation, so why do you think these so called Asian ancestors were African?

Could the present Asians not be the mutation ( continuation) of the former black ancestors you claim they worship?

Africa is AFRICA

Black Africans are black Africans

They got nothing to do with Asians

Pls explain why is it that the so called blacks where all great outside Africa or in Egypt but not in subsaharan region which is supposed to be their base.

Africans built their own civilisation in AFRICA,

Whatever it was great or not,it was theirs.

More so that it was pristine and native for thousands of years unlike most other regions that had mix of cultures and shared knowledge.

MoneyMan5:
Where is the Yoruba patronizing Igbo businesses across south west getting money from if they are not hardworking? You think Yoruba get money on tree ?

Without Wale and Tunde coming to Eze shop to buy clothes where would Eze see money to chop?

Without Yoruba Bricklayers to patronize Igbo building material sellers, Yoruba Electricians to patronize Nnamdi electrical equipment shop where would Nnamdi get money to send to Alaigbo?

Igbo are not even as hardworking as Yoruba because Igbo just open a shop and stay inside all day waiting for customers to come and patronize, Yoruba have real skills and are mostly artisans like Tailor, Barber, Welder, Bricklayers, Plumbers etc they go out on the field and move their body and without Yoruba artisans during field work most Igbo 4 by 4 shops wouldn't even exist.


It is just empty barrel make the loudest noise and Yoruba people don't blow their trumpet loud enough.

You're right here,what helps igbos is that the WAY trade money is,it helps you save n invest which leads to quicker wealth building unlike skill based work,which if you not disciplined there's d tendency to spend fast cos you know you'll get another fund with your next job

hegelian:
people are missing your point of this thread which is the contribution of the baby boomers to this generation....every sane nigerian should hate and detest the baby boomer generation cos they destroyed the country and introduced all form of evils and yet we worshipped them, call them leaders and look up to them for advice.. what advise can failures give especially the one that is still thinking its a winner other than more failures...baby boomers generation failed us and they should be hate and discarded

EXACTLY,PEOPLE JUST DONT GET IT,THEY dont understand the destruction that that generation caused

2mch:
Whit man, leave us alone and carry your issues commot for here! Talking about baby boomer and black race in caps. Even majority White peoplr don’t believe they went to the moon. All PR and video editing. Rest jare.

dey there ,YOU ARE USING AI BUT YOU DONT BELIEVE THEY WENT TO DO MOON,

No one has been able to highlite the contributions of the baby boomer GENERATION ( the present ruling class) to the development and advancement of the BLACK race.

Kushites:
Which machines?

Mr Man, stop this nonsense.

How many machines will they deploy? Is Africa your bedroom?

Or backyard?

How many machines or robots can they deploy to cover the entire Africa?

Where are the machines?

Or is it after they wipe us out that they will start building the machine?

Look, my friend, you need to stop this nonsense. The west depend Heavily on Africa. Without us they cannot survive One week.

Am talking about the future, with the rise of AI and machines,less labour might be needed.

My point is Africans do not really have the cards( this was in response to the comment from someone who said Africans can stop them from getting resources).

Africans do not really have the wherewithal to stop the whites and Asians from accessing African resources.

All the cards are in the whites and Asians hand.they'll be stopped only if they want to be stopped.

Because Africans are still crawling and have not gotten the capacity to effect such measures

gregyboy:
True because it was an invasion, a surprised attack, caught people unaware in their farms, esan are small community not even as big as edo north in today map and they could wade them off, shows the Nupe were not so mighty that benin would have even crippled them back to their hometown and sold all of them as slaves if they were not so occupied, the edo north who lost to them probably were the ones who may have invited them bcus their neighbors overthere are Muslims too, meaning the Nupe succeeded in South West North Central and lost to the edos, the edos were a mighty force no one in Nigeria would have dared

The Edo north became Muslim because of the invasion of the Nupes,they converted the chiefs to Islam who in turn forcefully converted their people to Islam,it didn't work in Akoko-edo because the Akoko-edo were kind of ungovernable because they dwelled on hills

gregyboy:
Benin controlled the full southern Nigeria talking of the east, west and south... Tho sre influence are minimum in some areas but empire influence stretch to this area, that's why the European or the britsh didn't go all out invading different coastal community until they were sure they had the weapon that would bring them that advantage

Not true,Benin influence wasn't felt in the Ibibio ,efiks areas,and inland Western yorubaland,it was also minimal in the central and northern igboland,Benin influence was mostly around the coast but not up to efik coast and Dahomey ( in later years)

Kushites:
You are wrong.

The west can Never wipe out Africans.

That would be tantamount to suicide for them.

Their countries cannot last a week without Africa.

Do you have the slightest idea of the amount of resources sold to west annually by Africans?

Who does the physical work to bring that about?

From mines to the cash crop farms in remote villages to the ports and transport and cargo?

If they wipe out Africans, who will do this work?

Europeans?

Americans?

Look, Mr. The world is not as you think. It’s highly interdependent.

You need to rid yourself of this complex you have.

With the rise of machines ,do you think they can't reach the point were machines will do the work,just as they stopped slavery during the industrial revolution.

So Africans are just their mules to do the dirty hardwork,while they make the gains.

Kushites:
South Korea and the 4 other “tiger economies” were granted special treatment by the western allies after WW2.

To stop the encroachment of communist Soviet ideologies into Asia, the west selected 5 countries there including South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, and showered them with free money, favourable loans, technology transfer, and opened up western markets to goods made in their countries.

Specifically with the intent of creating powerful capitalist bulwarks against rampaging Soviet communism, and Chinese power.

That’s the only reason you have those “tiger economies” today. They are western creations.

To know the state they would have been in absent of that western intervention, look no further than their direct neighbours, Cambodia, Nepal, Burma, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, North Korea and Bangladesh.

These countries also put in the work for their people.

They developed their infrastructures and focused on education .

Economically they emphasised production and export.

What did the generation of baby boomers in Nigeria do for Nigeria at this same period.They went to WAR, did coups ,introduced wanton corruption and religiosity.You just can't compare.

Which African economies can match Indonesia or Malaysia for example,let even take out the so called Asian tigers

Kushites:
China is a single country with the one main language, Han, spoken by over 90% of the people as their native tongue. And they are ruled by a One Party dictatorship.

Africa is a continent of 54 sovereign countries, multi-ethnic to the point of over 3,000 different languages and ethnic groups, in artificially created colonial countries. Each country with a different type of political system.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know which region between the two will act quicker in anything it’s doing.

That doesn’t mean Africa is standing still.

Her economies are growing in leaps and bounds.

Were was south Korea in 1960?

How come to black African country can equal it's standing today.let's even leave China out.

It simply shows that the baby boomer GENERATION failed

Everything is not about income.

No mention of shedding of innocent blood of villagers and farmers

ycat:
If you’re not hallucinating, you won’t call a war that lasted for 42 years, hundreds of villages and thousands of lives, “3 days”. At least we know why your lords removed history from schools, the truth hunts you for your parts as British soldiers in attacking innocent natives for rewards that you haven’t enjoyed and will never enjoy in peace. The history will never be removed from the people.

42 years, hahaha please read history of the Yorubas by Samuel Johnson. Everything is there.

Zooposki:
No one has gone or is going to the moon. No one can pass through the van allen belt. The moon is just an illuminary body, same with the sun. They are not planets. We are in an enclosed space, waters below, and waters above. Relax

Conspiracy theory

helinues:
My point was they started the astronomy stuffs before the Westerners

It doesn't matter who started it first,what matters is who is using it now

Kushites:
Africa was invaded, colonised, and raped to the tune of 5,000 Trillion Dollars, according to AI calculations, and That is their Debt to Africa, and the Earth will know No peace until Reparations are paid to every African descended person.

Europeans introduced firearms into a world that had agreed to use iron weapons for thousands of years. The entire world was caught off-guard, not just Africa.

Africans are still recovering from the rape of their countries, and only began building their countries in the 1960s after Independence.

Today, 13 of the 20 fastest growing economies on Earth are in Africa.

Africa is the Future.

Were was China in 1960?



Africans were given a clean slate by 1960 yet they misused it.

Arda1000:
oga which Benin in Anioma?
As for Igala they have just one local government which is really irrelevant,same with the Yoruba who are even recent migrants,during the war it was fought by Igbo people there wasn’t even Anioma then,the location of the war and the people who fought the war isn’t even an argument unless you just want to be ignorant

The Yoruba- olukumi are one of the ancient indigenes in the anioma domain,BENIN elements are a core of anioma identity.

Infact the Igbo are a minority mainly at igbuzor

When I say anioma,I mean the demography and domain of the people of delta north.

The mainstream Igbo did not fight the British, except the aro who were defeated in 3 days

Chubhie:
If Africa decides to keep all natural resources and manpower in Africa, do you think those you mentioned can still survive?

Can Africans keep any resources?

Were they not the ones that discovered most of the resources in the first place.also they can wipe you out of existence or to submission with a button.
Mr man you gat no power

No one can highlite or enumerate any contribution of baby boomer GENERATION of blacks, especially Africans and more so NIGERIANS. They got no positives to highlite,funny ENOUGH they still rule today.

Reflect7:
Inventions by Africans are INVENTIONS, not “so-called inventions”.

Don’t insult your ancestors, understood?

My issue is not with the ancestors.

Most of the world were on the same level by 1960,my gross is with the baby boomer GENERATION.

wowcatty:
Bullshit!

Ijebu were the ones who truly fought with the British from 1851 to 1893. The rest of you were just disagreements over the Ufe/Ife loots you were keeping for them.

You guys are reknown for delusion.
Leaving in imagination and false pretenses.

Ijebu war that lasted just ,3 days.

Lool

Give me a break pls
