There’s nothing like the truth. It’s all based on assumptions, sourcing , time etc. All these are subject to changes, which is constant. The @op wants us to swallow every thing . He is quoting from authors , books and other people works.He’s writting from other people information. Every information here isn’t first hand knowledge.So where he writes “ wrong “ , he should be open to critics. There are many authors like Dan Brown whose books are more factly expressive, yet he acknowledges critics. He should upload his thread . And reply to some opinions if he have time. His intros are always full of oneself. If he was Magellan or Marc maybe we did kneel to get his knowledge...lol. I enjoy his write ups. 4 Likes 1 Share |

One of the poster posted that one of the reasons why African is not develop is because 'african don't think positive 'this is nothing but the truth. Reasons:- 1) a black man will still money that he will not finish in his life time but think he is smart and only him deserve enjoyment instead of using the money to build hospital, school and good road that will benefit everyone 2) a black man will beat traffic rule and think that he is smart not knowing that beating traffic lights can endenger his life and that of others 3) generate electricity that will promote growth and enhance industrial development a black prefer to still the money and buy generator and be using for only himself and his family. Negative thought is the bane of Black man 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Venturing out to the unknown Given the environment factors that plagued the Europeans, primarily scarcity of food and resources, it explains their need to venture out to source for food. Their mentality was: Maybe there is some other land out there far across the valleys and seas where we would find abundance. The sub-saharan africans didn't need to venture out. They had everything they needed. Some people blame the inability of the sub-saharan Africans to develop advanced sea-faring technology or the movable vehicles with wheels, on their intrinsic lack of intelligence and creativity. Given all I've laid out in previous posts, it's easy to see how false this notion is. Why risk death like the Vikings did many times when trying to build ships to sail the seas, when you really didn't need to? Our ancestors were complacent and lazy, I'm not disputing that, but this was simply because they had all they needed at their doorsteps. Abundance stifles invention. Lack necessitates it. 21 Likes 4 Shares |

Divide and Conquer strategy What else would you expect from the Europeans when they found Africa with all of it's natural and human resources? They did exactly what a civilization with centuries of plundering, raiding, wars and conquests ingrained into their minds would do. The Africans were already at a disadvantage. They weren't exposed to this sort of massive intrusion into their lands and they had no point of reference to guide them in dealing with the situation. The Europeans however were already masters of this form of warfare. They had read books of wars fought generations before them and the tactics used to execute the wars. They had read Greek history and the Trojan horse story and similar stories. They had an arsenal of psychological techniques to break down the enemy from the inside. And that's exactly what they did. They exchanged their fancy technology for resources. The greedy African leaders couldn't resist such a bargain. They had been so used to the abundant resources they didn't value them as much. But the Europeans didn't just come for the minerals, they needed manpower to work for them in their cotton fields and farms, so they came up with a strategy. They started exchanging technology for slaves. Owning slaves wasn't a strange thing for the African tribes. The slaves were usually victims of wars fought against opposing tribes. But then the slaves they had in stock finished and they had to find more slaves. So the only way to do this was fight wars with other tribes and get slaves. So the Europeans played multiple tribes against themselves and armed them with weapons, and suddenly sub-saharan Africa was thrown into a warzone. The Europeans didn't need to lift a finger. Slaves were supplied to them by Africans to the tune of millions. Of course some few other tribes didn't fall for this trick and tried to fight off the Europeans, but they were defeated and enslaved due to less advanced weapons. You don't come to a gun fight with spears and expect to win no matter how brave you are. 26 Likes 4 Shares |

I've always wondered why our ancestors didn't fight with the technology we had. Our 'juju technology' should have been more than enough to attack the whites, init? 3 Likes |

blaquebelle: From the little I know about juju technology, you make juju for a specific weapon. A juju can protect you against gun but that juju will not protect you against matchete. The Africans had never seen guns or canons before. They didn't know how gun powder worked. They weren't armed with magical defense against gun powder. I'm sure some of their offensive juju worked, but they were already outmatched. By the way, the Europeans had their own Juju. Don't just think they carried only guns and canons. These people specialize in co-opting all kinds of technology, whether juju or otherwise. Medieval Europe had magicians, sourcerers and witches. 17 Likes 1 Share |

The Aftermath of Slavery. Close your eyes and try to picture the scene of sub-saharan africa after the Europeans had pillaged their human resources. The bravest, strongest and smartest are the ones that fight in wars. These are the people that were either killed or sent to Europe as slaves. Over twelve million of them. Imagine twelve million of your smartest and strongest people shipped over to another country. Who else will be left? The weakest of course. And these were the people remaining when the next stage of warefare began - colonization and brainwashing Africa was left devasted by the transatlantic slave trade. Their development had been reset. They had to start all over again- from scratch. All those who held important roles in the society were gone. What remained was a group of people ripe for colonization. 16 Likes 4 Shares |

blaquebelle: Juju is bad. The whites said so. Haha. As OP said, the whites were master War planners. The Bible might have been given to us to water down our Juju effect. And it's funny because these white men had abandoned the bible long before handing it down to us. Yes, they abandoned the bible after humans discovered lands (and peoples) that weren't mentioned in the bible (e.g., America) They simply stopped believing in the bible, and used it as a tool when/where necessary. There was a lot of drama and denial when they saw a continent as large America (of which God apparently wasn't aware of), the drama and denial even got worse when the Spaniard conquistadors appeared. In the least, our Artifacts (which could generate good museum revenue in their country) would become easier for them to steal if they could make us believe that our Gods were fake and evil.

The Pacifist Religion Christianity is a pacifist religion. It's the best religion to give to a group of people who you want to control. Christianity teaches values that oppose conflict, verses like "turn your other cheek" and the likes. But most importantly, Christianity teaches forgiveness. This played into the plan of the Europeans when they came to Africa. Generations of Africans who had been taught by their mothers of how their fathers and elder brothers were killed and shipped away, and had developed an unwavering hatred towards the Europeans, were presented the gospel of Christ. They were converted, became new creatures and old things passed away. They forgave the Europeans and accepted them into their lands to complete what they started. There is a reason why the colonialists arrived along side the christian teachers. It was all planned in a round table by the smartest of European army generals. 27 Likes 1 Share |

Op, your topic sound interesting but the reason Black Africa is poor, undeveloped and backward is beyond human comprehension. It has something to do with human creation or genetics, it is a natural deformity not just logical. If you take Nigeria as a case study and study or observe the political treachery among the 3 or 5 major tribes or 6 geopolitical zones, the inequality and how majority applauds injustice of one against another in Nigeria, you will come to realize part of the reasons why black nations are backward and poor. All humans have that trait of selfishness, greed, etc but that of the black man is outrageous. Black man lack selflessness and the trait to seek for communal progress, rather blacks prefer to pursue individual progress to communal progress and this brings about envy, jealousy, betrayal among the blacks which further drags them back in all indices of life. 8 Likes |

The invisible flag. When the Europeans landed in sub-saharan Africa and saw all the abundance of resources, they planted an invisible flag. In their minds, they owned Africa. This part of the continent was theirs. During the Berlin conference they shared sub-saharan Africa amongst themselves. Till this day they still believe they own sub-saharan Africa. And they are still playing the same game they played before. The game of divide and conquer. I'll explain this in detail. 10 Likes |

FactsvsFicti0n:I only have problem with his many unfinished threads, he is good no doubt but it is not cool to create many threads without any real hope of completion, there is a thread where an alien was being interviewed by the United state military using a lady for telepathic communication with the alien. Due to the slow response from O.p, I had to search for the stuff online and download, it is over 300 pages on PDF, please how many years would he use to post all that here? He ought to share the link for such long post so that interested parties can take it from there. The O.p is really trying in sensitising the public about many controversial topics and I applaud him for that but in all things, there is always room for improvement. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Why make slavery seem one-sided? The slave trade was a joint effort between Europeans and Africans. Europeans bought slaves and Africans sold slaves and benefitted from the slave trade. The people who were sold as slaves were already enslaved as prisoners of war on the continent. Europeans didn't introduce slavery to Africa. 6 Likes |

franchasofficia: To get a clearer picture of what happened to black africans, you're better off just studying general history than studying other people's opinions on the matter. You see, whenever the whites went to a land of the blacks, they magically turned literate to illiterates! However, this wasn't magic. How? Take for example, Nigeria. We were all literate in our type of government. We suddenly had to switch to the white man's version of democracy with rules/laws written in a foreign language that would take years for a Non-English person to understand. We suddenly became illiterates in our own lands! And the few that went abroad to understand these new laws realized that they could do and undo (a luxury they couldn't really enjoy in our original system of government). They began stealing and embezzlement since they were dealing with "illiterates" who didn't even know their basic rights anymore. It only became worse from there.
You see, Unity can only truly thrive within people of the same culture, believes, and backgrounds. What then do you think happens when people of different cultures, religions and cultures are lumped together? It's only a matter of time before the new Unity is shattered to the ground due to incompatibility! It is a crime against humanity to mix people of contrasting believes in the manner Nigeria, for example, was mixed.
True, and at the same time, quite the contrary (@ bolded) Blacks are the most communal people that exist on this planet. You can easily walk into a black home and find children, parents, and grandparents living together! This rarely occurs with whites. I was in my village recently, and what I saw gave me joy and sadness at the same time. In my village, you can easily notice the community spirit. They work together for a common good. However, nothing ever happens in the village. When the villager walks into the city, he meets another kind of Nigeria. He meets diverse people—people who might not share his faith and believes. Instantly, he creates a mental picture that these people aren't his. Can you blame him? It's true. They are very different indeed. Selfishness kicks in automatically. ...and it only gets worse with each passing year. You're right, all humans have greed, envy, etc, and black people seem to have the most outrageous variant of these traits. However, this is probably due to the conditions we've been subjected to (not something hard-coded in our genes as you imply) 6 Likes 1 Share |
