Ghostwon82221:Do you know that βargumentum ad lapidemβ (βappeal to the stoneβ) is still a fallacy? Lool. In other words, what you should have demonstrated is that the French word βdomaineβ is not domainβ in the English language as shown below. π You need not have resorted to the classical failure of insulting the argument (as opposed to disproving it).

TAO11:1) "Aboriginal ownership": you just invent notions as you go, I see. 2) you seem to think that precolonial West Africa was just like Nigeria today, this is just the typical lack of imagination and flawed logic of many Nigerians who do not understand history. 3) you clearly insert your own self serving ethnic propaganda in your submission 4) the eyewitness clearly says, Lagos belongs to Benin, no matter how you try to twist the situation, it is very clear. 5) Lagos itself is older than Yoruba which only came to being in 1808 whereas Lagos had already been noticed as being a part of Benin hundreds of years before 1808. Edit. By Lagos in "5)", I mean lagos' precolonial identity. |

I just hope the unbiased minds are noticing. I'm not actually debating the fool named Tao, Tao lacks the intellectual capacity to debate me or to debate even a bad student of mine, I am rather correcting Tao's incoherent submission like a teacher would correct a submission from a student. And this is a job which is usually paid, but I'm doing it here for free, but I can't do it for ever. I've got a real life to live and more productive things to do. |

TAO11:1) where does the narrator say that Benin people are immigrants to Lagos ? 2) it seems you are under the impression that the narrator witnessed the creation of Lagos and somehow told you things which were not written in the book. 3) once again your "aboriginal ownership of land" doesn't actually mean anything, this is a precolonial country, not postcolonial Nigeria. The author clearly states that Lagos belongs to Benin, once again ! 4) "twist debunked", yea, what you said is incredibly twisted and nonsensical. 5) "but rather about two immigrant groups who obviously are in competition with each other over the right to a specific area the island": you seem to just bring things out of your a-hole, where does it say this in the book ? Also in case you didn't notice (because you don't speak French), an other passage of the book claims that the Jebu are vassals to Benin. |

I have to admit that as a scientist, I usually deal with people who act in good faith and actually value the truth and logic. Correcting the submission of a compulsive liar is rather disagreeable to me. Especially because I know the lying Tao is only trying to take advantage of the lack of education of most Nigerians. Unfortunately logic doesn't necessarily convince an uneducated crowd. Crooks have the advantage of knowing how to convince the uneducated and gullible. |

TAO11:I give unbiased and uninterpreted translation of the text and you give extremely biased and extremely interpreted opinions of the text and even insert things which are not even mentioned in the text, yet you write this "Having debunked your misrepresentation and having clarified the truth from that same passage", so objectivity is misrepresentation in your opinion but your self serving interpretation and additions to the text (let's remember that you don't even speak French which is the language of the text and which I speak better than I do English) are gospel truth and somehow objective π I can't make this up... It is just so obvious that you are a kid. |
Re: British Bombardment Of Lagos 1851 by Nobody: 9:31pm On May 03, 2023 |
TAO11: 1)The actual curiosity here would be what exactly you refer to as "indigenous accounts". Let me guess, it is once again people alive today whom you are referring to as "indigenous accounts", and by the way, you have taken as hypothesis that those people are indigenous in your proof that they are indigenous (that is a toddler level logical mistake) 2) I brought a paper written by an eyewitness and I gave an objective translation, I inserted no bias, yet I'm the "misinterpreter", yet you come and just go on giving your biased and uneducated and self serving opinions, and some how you are speaking gospel truth ? 3) what are you quoting here ? Notice that your "indigenous accounts" which you do not quote are still alive and didn't witness the 1500's which you trust them to describe. But yet again, we don't actually get to see any quotes from your still alive "indigenous accounts", we just have to trust your "unbiased π€£" submission of the "eyewitness" account of some 500 year old, yet still alive "indigenous" people. 4) "as well as historical studies", again, you just bring all this out of your a-hole, you have nothing to quote, just self serving pro-yoruba propaganda. A more educated person would provide any such studies (snippet and the entire document and a link towards the laboratory which hold the document and to the document on the laboratorie's website), which would allow for the analysis of any such documents. But as you fail to notice, historical research, that is exactly what I did by presenting precolonial documents and translating that text ! And it concludes that Lagos belongs to Benin! Yep, actual historical research says the opposite of your disproved claim, but your imaginary "historical research" goes your way of course. 5) in history, what matters are eyewitness written records, that is how history is researched. Also notice that the 1400's is when European eyewitnesses started writing about our region, yet none of them noticed your "migration into Lagos in the 1500's to take advantage of ...", instead the earliest report of the eyewitnesses about Lagos claim that it was a part of Benin ! The body of water surrounding it was even called Bight of Benin. You take being a fool to a whole new level. |
