Mr English instructor go back and read all post on Nairaland see if you can't find a lot mistakes made by you. Also you are just doing what your kind knows how to do when they can't put up a good argument, they resort personal attack.

Like I pointed out, religion is very important because it keeps maniac like you in check.

Ode! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜…

If religion is good because it keeps maniacs like me in check, why not allow us practice our religion in peace? šŸ˜…šŸ˜…

So you that is not practicing any religion is not a maniac? It is only those who are practicing their religion in peace and not disturbing anyone that are maniacs? What if i become an aethist or a Muslim tomorrow, will i still be a maniac? Illiterate Clown! šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚.


Allow people practice their religion in peace.

I asked a very simple question


What were Africans doing then?

Is there any written documents anywhere concerning Africa

Even the Chinese, Indians, Koreans have
documented written of there history 2000years ago

The only documented African country is Ethiopia.
It was known as cush in the Bible

Simon of Cyrene that helped Christ to carry his Cross on the way to crucifiction was a black man

And in the book of Acts in the Bible the Ethiopian Eunuch was mentioned


This is an intellectual discuss
Not fighting

Thanks

The reason Africa has little to no written history is e cause most of her history were erased and stolen after she was conquered by the Europeans. Even.
Take places like the Benin people of Nigeria which had the greatest wall ever built in known history till this day. They even had street lights 300 years before the Europeans could even think of one and her vast majority of her artifacts which were stolen and currently displayed in the British museums today.
Africans progression was only halted due to countless invasions by the Europeans and Arabs alike.

Ok.i agree to what you said

Like you mentioned Benin was one of the most powerful kingdoms

Also like you highlighted invasions by the Europeans and the Arabs was true


The Arabs were even worse than the Europeans because they were involved in trans Saharan slave Trade which was hundreds of years before the transatlantic slave trade done by the Europeans to the new world


It was highlighted that African slaves transacted across Sahara dessert by the Arabs were 20 times more than the ones the Europeans sent to the new world America


African scholars like ibn batuta who lived more than 1000years ago highlighted some of these things in his documents


He was from around Mali side that's formerly Timbuktu and he went on pilgrimage to Mecca through the Sahara desert several times before the last one he did and his mother died and he never saw his mother again. The grief was with him till his death

Two of the most prominent educated Africans of the past 1000 years were ibn batuta Islamic scholar and St Augustine a Catholic priest that lived almost 1500 years ago.

The problem we have is that Africa doesn't have the fundamentals that these Asian countries had

Most importantly is sound visionary leaders

Singapore had Prime Minister Lee Kuan yew who Developed the blueprint and template Singapore is using till today since 1960s


Malaysia had Muhammad Mahatir who Developed the blueprint and template for Malaysia since 1970s


China had Chairman Mao who set the foundation for Chinas Development since 1960s


Even Vietnam that fought war with the US in the 1970s also set up same vision.
Today there Economy is doing massively.

Even Bangladesh is doing well


Japan the baba of Asia had Always been Developed since the beginning of 19th century


Japan was so Developed they fought the second world war as allies of Hitler with there factories producing the ammunition's used in the war


So Africa don't have the fundamentals of good visionary leadership
Which is our bane

The bit sound leaders we had small was during the first republic: Awolowo, Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello

Now we don't have such Calibre of visionary responsible leadership

Thank you for your kind feedback.

What would we say is the reason why Africa lacks this leaders IN AFRICA? I write this because many Africans OUTSIDE AFRICA have gone on to lead exemplary teams and units in Europe and America.

From Sports with Mike Emenalo at Chelsea to Finance with Okonjo Iweala and Adesina to Medicine with Badero and Olutoye to Engineering with Izu - and on and on. Let's not talk about President Obama in America. He is African, even if developed in America.

I think the challenge is not a lack of knowledgeable, patriotic and visionary leaders. I think that our democratic structures are subverted - intentionally - by our enemies (possibly from the West), using our people. If we look at the leaders of the Nigerian Second Republic that was truncated by Maj. Gen Buhari, there was a lot of positive development in the first four years of Shagari in 1979 - 1983. By the time they got desperate at the 1983 elections, things went pear shaped and the military found a justification to come in, unfortunately. It was not that Governors Jakande, Bola Ige, Ajasin or Ambrose Alli were not visionary and fantastic leaders.

Now, they (our enemies) neutered us while we slept by 'deleting' history from our curriculum and generously lowering our educational standards to levels where nobody trusts JAMB or WAEC again but even local Universities need to conduct 'post-UTME' and JAMB sets admission marks lower than 200 every year. How?!

International Universities today request that our graduates write the IELTS examination to prove that they can speak, write and understand the first of two official languages in Nigeria. It is so bad that nobody remembers that French is the second official language in Nigeria - when we don't even know how to speak the first official one.

So Sir/Madam, the problem is not leadership. In my opinion, the challenge is that we do not have the critical mass of knowledgeable people in the requisite number to change the trajectory of the country. It is why Mr Peter Obi, even if he became President, would not do anything as good - if he did good - as what he did as Anambra State Governor.

A man or woman can only deliver as good as the support system he or she has. Where everyone around you in the political and administrative system is of poor or suboptimal IQ, are sycophants looking to exploit or predate on the system for personal gain, then what we have is what you get.

Remember that the West needs African economy to remain agrarian, regressive and 'fantastically corrupt', in the famous words of a former UK PM to the late Queen of England.

For as long as that exists, we would be a net importer of finished goods and services from the developed world leaving our economy in a net deficit as compared to that of the countries that export processed goods and services. Countries that primarily export raw materials like unprocessed Agric produce and crude would always be poorer than countries that export refined fuel and luxury items like expensive wines and female artificial hair. It is simple economics.

Now, if such richer exporting country knows that a man who wrote this on Nairaland aspires to be a President or Governor in this Nigerian democracy, what do you think would happen? They would make money available to his/her opposition to sway the media against such person and make the people refuse to vote for such person in order to maintain the economic status quo.

That is the African problem. That is what Patrice Lumumba died over. It is what killed Tom Sankara. It caused Ghadaffi death.

Ask yourself where the South African economy is today. Ask yourself why Ghana, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Congo, Congo DR, Central Africa Republic, Niger, Chad, Cameroon, Sudan, Eritrea, South Sudan, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, Mauritania and all the 53 African countries seem to fail. Ask why the economy of Silicon Valley, a place inside the State of California in USA is multiple times the economy of the whole of Africa.

It is intentional. It isn't because we do not have visonary leadership. It is because our democracy has been 'carefully tuned' in Africa to ensure that poverty has been WEAPONISED to subvert what democracy should be. When that is added to lower educational standards which blunts critical thinking, what we have is what you get.

The Asian Tigers like China and Dubai and Singapore didn't get it right with this Western style of democratic leadership, did they? The West would decry that kind of leadership as 'dictatorial' and undemocratic, but where we are without a knowledgeable population in the necessary number on the base of widespread poverty and lack, what we have is what one gets.

Good morning.

All you have said still lead to black mentality. Go to America and see the blacks, even in the midst of opportunities they still blame the white. They live and depends on govt pay checks. Blacks are greedy and insatiable. Talk of Charity how many blacks will their estate to charity, business longevity, Imagine club like real Madrid, how many years and still existing. Which black man business will live so? Blacks problem yapka and the white ain't responsible for it.

Is it because of their skin colour?
That's a scientific question.
Is it Melanin concentration, which is the only difference between the Black and the less-Black person biologically, the cause of the multitude of problems?

Or it is that there are institutional restrictions, even in the most developed countries that see that Black people are restricted in larger number to the lower ends of the socio-economic ladder?

You wouldn't say that Black, African-American, Hispanic and other minorities in Europe and America have been demonstrated to possess lower Intelligence Quotient in schools as compared to Caucasians, would you?

While you paint a good picture, there are several scientific factors you are ignoring can actually make car driver survive and not the trailer driver, the angle of collision is a factor, whether the driver put on his seat is a factor, post collision factor is also one. Now while these might sound vague to you, to a train expert all these matter a lot sometimes a slight variation can results to life or death.

Even though I disagree with Christianity on a lot of issues, there are some I respect a lot very few though like matthew kukah. What I find most annoying is these new generational churches who after listening to whatever there go tells them without read 1inch of the Bible and start jumping very discussion with a lot of sentiment.

For that head on collision, no plausible scientific explanation, at least going by one of Newton's laws. You did not give any plausible explanation for the cancer case?

For those new generation churches thing, I understand. They created a lot of problems for Christianity, even the orthodox churches are not totally left out.

Your question wasn't simple as you may think or as you think.
As an African, you can agree with me that our stories are mostly told rather than being written and so when you ask if there is any written record(s)documents) concerning Africa, then it seems somehow to me. Africans generally pass down informations through words and we both know that over time some of these informations will be forgotten due to newer events or stories being told.

Take for instance, as an African; do you write down every activities of yours on a daily or maybe part of your core daily activities in any book, so that you can refer to in the future or better still, do you snap pictures or make video recordings everyday for record purpose?
To me, because they're no written documents concerning Africa that we can hold on to like our European counterparts doesn't mean Africa/Africans were doing nothing. If maybe there is nothing like written records, I bet you won't be asking this question.





Yeah you are very right about not having a writing form of language in the ancient times.

I believe these was the major bane of Africa and it's affected us till this day

The Asians example had written language
These ability to write gave rise to them having deep philosophers

That's same pattern the Bible and Quran had
These two great books has produced some of the greatest philosophy thinking since the existence of Man

Take the Bible for example
It has influenced humanity thousands of years before

Like I mentioned Alexander the great, his grearest tutor was Aristotle
It was documented that Aristotle was so much influenced by the old testament of the Bible later in his days
He transferred that knowledge to his student Alexander the great and that's why Alexander never touched Jerusalem during his global conquest

It was said Aristotle in his later days converted to Judaism before he died.

So having a writing form of language would have perpetuated our philosophical thinking process

We still have philosophical thinking process in our clime especially in form of speaking with Proverbs

I am from the East and I know that when the elders commune
They do so mostly in Proverbs

Although we are losing it because the younger generation don't care about all these things


I remember while growing up if a grown up man is spoken to in riddles and Proverbs
If he doesn't understand it
He is jested that the dowry paid to marry his mother was in vain

I also hear deep Yoruba thinkers also always talked in riddles and Proverbs

Almost all African culture have deep riddles and Proverbs which showed that our forefathers were deep thinkers and philosophers

Yeah I totally agree with you

We don't have the critical mass of knowledgeable people to effect positive change

But from my own angle we can't fold up our hands and allow things get so bad

Example look at the havoc this past Buharis government caused in Nigeria
Messed up our economy
Now almost all our best brains are leaving the country

Who then will Develop our place?
It's very pathetic and heart breaking

But we must never give up

Each one of us must find ways to do our own little within our sphere of influence

That's is my modus operandi now

If we don't do even the little we can
This Nation and continent will be sold out to the dogs, the worst of us

God forbid bad thing!!!

No, we should not fold our arms. We cannot afford to.

One of the ways not to fold out arms is what we are doing here. We cannot recruit the right number into the knowledgeable critical mass IF we do not spell out how we got here so that our people do not get distracted when we begin to act to right the wrongs.

That's usually the problem. It is a "cooking stage". We must get the right amount of ingredients and condiments as the case may be and "cook" it for long enough so that we don't get spoilt along the line.

The people, and systems, that profit from the squalor we have in Africa today are not going to give up easily. So this has little or nothing to do with religion or prayers but the right education and mobilisation first.

The citizenry and average populace are worse than the leadership, we've got to realise that. The citizens voted the leaders.

So there must be no rush in fixing this system problem. Our enemies are as many within us as the ones outside our country and continent.

Well said brother.
And surprisingly, it seems we are not ready to fix these issues up. Like you mentioned, the proverbs and riddles era is fast leaving us and yet we are not trying to join the rest of the world in keeping written records or other forms of documentation.
I just hope we wake up soon. Even if it not exactly the same format used by our counterparts from around the world, at least we should have our own way of keeping our records for future references.

The quote you made just exposed the type of person I have been wasting my time on. For record, that quote is not directed to particular religion. If you trace the origin of man back to the ancient Egyptian and the Mesopotamians, there exist a strong and popular belief system which thrives then but with fall of empire so goes the religion and the newer generations sees those old believe system which once through as myth, infact they might even laugh at them for believing in such things.

Now let compare that with Judaism. From the Egyptians to the Mesopotamians to more recent era which is the Roman era, Judaism or what people called the old testament god was less known God but the powerful ruling nations have there gods well known and was worship far and wide but today are all regarded as myth but I guess its too much for your small coconut head to understand, anyways no wasting my time on you.

I understand when you are coming from the street, everything look war to you.

Look at what an adult is writing.

Illiterate, go and sleep since it appears you don't even understand the English which you wrote to insult someone else.

I guess when you were supposed to be in class, you were reading religious books so you can escape "mental slavery". šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Julius read about Alexander and wondered why he could achieve so much when he died at 32

Julius desperately wanted to be immortalized and was just trying out anything possible


It ended well for him as the month "JULY" was named after him

August was named after "Augustus" to indicate that he came after Julius


Did you mean Alexander the Great?
Cause Julius Caesar existed way before Alexander was even born

Caeser's assassination was justified because he had staged a coup on the Republic and declared himself supreme ruler over Rome - a title and position that was foreign to the Greeco-Roman democratic tradition.

Caeser's treason was buoyed by his need to settle humongous debt he had piled up in his vain ambitions to aspire to the heights of the Greek General, Alexandria .

His campaign in Gaul and Germany had been financed from Jewish money lenders and after finally conquering the northern lands, there was nothing to plunder to repay his loans to his Jewish lenders.

Caeser will do the unfanthomable thing and set his eyes on Rome and for the treasury.

Caeser was despised by most Roman scholars .

He was only rehabilitated by Shakespeare which we now know was not the real author behind his plays but a certain Jew who courtered the English court.

There were growing anti monarchial sentiments in England and a call for another charter for more democracy.

Shakespeare's rendition of Julius Caesar as one who was unjustly murdered by a bunch of conspirators was meant to sway sympathy towards the reigning King and the monarchy.

Julius Caesar is only remembered in good light because of Shakespeare and the. English nobility .

To the average Roman back then he was a tyrant and deserved what he got.


Julius Caesar gave us the English word : "Cease", that is to bring to an abrupt end.

The reign of the Caesers saw to Rome's terminal descent into decay and eventual end.

Jewish usury and one man's grand delusions saw to an entire democratic empire collapsed.

Same thing is happening now in the JewSA.
