Ghana's Oldest Storey Building Over Three Centuries Older Than That Of Nigeria by SuperSupremo(op):
Elmina Castle was erected by Portuguese in 1482 as São Jorge da Mina (St. George of the Mine ) Castle, also known simply as Mina or Feitoria da Mina ) in present-day Elmina ,
Ghana (formerly the Gold Coast ). It was the first trading post built on the Gulf of Guinea, so is the oldest European building in existence below the Sahara. First established as a trade settlement, the castle later became one of the most important stops on the route of the Atlantic slave trade . The Dutch seized the fort from the Portuguese in 1637, and took over all the Portuguese Gold Coast in 1642. The slave trade continued under the Dutch until 1814; in 1872 the
Dutch Gold Coast , including the fort, became a possession of the British Empire

Does this mean that Ghana is far more advanced than Nigeria?
Re: Ghana's Oldest Storey Building Over Three Centuries Older Than That Of Nigeria by YorubaStinks:
That building is the only reason why i don't use the "N" word (Nigga)

Imagine what my ancestors went through

They were shackled with a heavy chain, dumped in an overcrowded ship, stayed for about 8 months at sea, without food and water, they shiit where they were sitting, they didn't bath, they didn't brush their teeth, some died on the voyage and they were taken to America to do a hard labour and at the end of the day, those evil white people will call them "Niggers"

And some Foolish kids who can't stay without their phones or Internet for 3 hours, kids who doesn't know how it feels like to sit on one spot shackled with chain for 9 months will have the effrontery to use that word

If i ever hear someone around me use that word, I'm done being your friend or talking to you

the most amazing part is: the building is still standing firm and stronger than those that are being built currently
Re: Ghana's Oldest Storey Building Over Three Centuries Older Than That Of Nigeria by RentALodge:
This distrustful relationship Ghanaians have toward Nigerians can be attributed to sibling rivalry. No need to get riled up and violent. We are brothers afterall.

So you call slave acquisition outpost civilization? Mind you around that time we had schools, courts and police in Northern Nigeria.
