However, i am up for the challenge! Post yours first and i will swiftly post mine (even the one in my current wallpaper).

Mine is up already

Nigeria is a country of 180 million people. I'm yet to meet anyone in my city who bleach, and many people l know detest Michael Jackson till date for that. It's not black and white.

According to WHO, 77% of your neirbours are bleachers. Good to hear you are not one. Must be only the strong willed in Nigeria who don't.

AkoniMoipei:



And to think that you are not neighbors !!!

How did 5 millions of them get there? Was it in one massive migration or did a small group travel to Ghana and reproduced massively?

Was it by road or via the Ocean?

With their population, I would not be surprised.

We needed a Masai warrior here by the way

You don't even know your history, it wasn't oyo empire that defeated Ashanti empire it was a joined force of other Akan tribes, Dahomey and pho together to defeat the great Ashanti empire. It took three empires to defeat one, had it been just oyo they would have been crushed.

How can oyo empire defeat the great Ashanti empire.

First of all, it was the Akyem that requested Oyo's help. It wasn't on Oyo's ground, because it was an Akyem-Ashanti conflict, but the Akyem had military boost from Oyo. It was the only way they could have won.

Second, Akyem and Dahomey were both kingdoms, not empires. Also during this time, Dahomey was an integral part of Oyo because decades earlier Oyo had already defeated and conquered Dahomey and it was absorbed into Oyo empire. Dahomey was a tribute-paying vassal state of Oyo. The Akyem knew Oyo was the only power that could rival Ashanti and help them defeat them, that was why they requested the help Alaafin's mercenaries. Either way, the battle resulted in the defeat of the Ashanti army.

Hahahahaha, failed attempt.
Northern Nigerians do not do such weddings!

See the way northern weddings and couples look like.

They try to keep it as strictly traditional as possible.

Nice try. Embrace your people

They bleached after meeting their Nigerian financiers, who obviously wanted them looking as ghostly white as possible. Check it up. Nigerian men are sponsoring them.

So Nigerians have influence on Kenyans to this level? This is lovely

fanficgirl:

I think believing a report that claims 75 percent of Nigerian women are bleaching, while also claiming fufty percent are living in abject poverty is stupid. That statistics isn't true, it was taken from a few stores in Lagos and Abuja (most also claimed they used it for scarring). Don't believe everything on the Internet.

Really?

We just don't read, we've seen pure beauties like INI Edo transform

My point is you can't compare your oyo or benin empire to the great Ashanti empire. Oyo would not be able to defeat Ashanti empire by itself. Even th British had hard time defeating the Ashanti empire.

Yeaaaaaah That's where your oil money is disappearing to; its being spent on our socialites . Ha ha

You would think Nok artifacts are the earliest until you consider that Nigeria's a very big place with diverse history. The Dafuna canoe discovered in Yobe state alone was dates back 8,500 years ago making it the oldest boat ever discovered in Africa and the second oldest in the world.
No Ancient Egyptian nor Ancient Greek nor Mesopotamia nor Ancient China's boat date back that far. In fact, when the Dafuna boat was constructed around 6,550 BC, Ancient Egypt was not in existence yet as it would take another 2,000 years. It predates the next oldest boat/oldest Egyptian boat, the Khufu ship, constructed in 2,500 BC by 4,000 years.

So ladies and gentle men, standing at 28 ft in length (almost 3 storey tall), I give you the Dafuna canoe.

Very interesting! Never heard of this I must research.

Yes, is that even question

Name one tangible way how .

Yet, it took a coalition of Akyem and Oyo to defeat Ashanti in a battle.

BTW, It also took the British multiple attempts to conquer Benin and many other states in Nigeria.

Muafrika2:

I can easily pull up Kenyan stars who have bleached, and you better not claim its Nigerians who influenced them as you guys have already said Nigeria has no influence in Kenya.

It took Akyem and coalition of other Akan tribes, fanti, Dahomey and oyo. It was not even a battle. Ashanti's were on their way to invade dahomey where they were ambush by akyema and other Akan tribes, Dahomey and oyo. During this time Dahomey weren't part of oyo. It was an amabush because we all know they couldn't face Ashanti's on the battle field.

When we talk about great west African empires, be in is not even mentioned. Oyo has better claim than Benin.

Nigeria has a number of interesting discoveries and archaeology sites, that many Nigerians themselves aren't even aware off.
I keep telling people that Nigeria is a big place with rich history and culture. At least in those areas, Nigeria excel and its contribution cannot be underestimated.

so now her telling you the truth has turned her into a hater? she is a patriotic Ghanaian and I'm proud of her. be prepared for more truth from her.

I'm a patriot too, and I don't behave like that..............I try as much as possible to be liberal.
I'm not calling her a hater by the way.

excuses...excuses...excuses

I like how you underestimate Oyo's role by putting it last. Anyways the battle didn't concern Oyo, it simply sent its mercenaries.

By the way, the battle was in 1764 and Dahomey was part of Oyo between 1740-1823.

Still waiting for tangible reasons. And in Academia, Benin is usually mentioned for West African Empires. Go on any scholar database right now and compare.

Yes, unfortunately many of us don't bother with history. Honestly, Nigerian history is just a melting pot of so many different African's histories. Do they know the people who built this boat?

Nigerian still remains the most educated blacks in USA and they live better than the average American. While some haters keep on hating. Over 3million Nigerian in USA and UK each doing well

bros, I tire o......I know USA and UK are the two countries where Nigerians are much.
but when I heard there are over 5m Nigerians in Ghana.....I no fit laugh.

fanficgirl:

I should have known you started it. What's the point of lying and claiming Kenyans and Ghanaians are ugly? Why do you always go back to that point. Objectively, they aren't.

thank you for finally knowing the truth. Like I always say, I'm harmless until people like nowenuse insults my country. that I will never allow.

Nowenuse:


Cant you see how stupid you are? Southern kaduna people are not hausas, so how can your so called imaginary friend be proudly hausa?

you are the stupid one, there Hausa's in southern kaduna. you are a fool who cant accept the truth because you are ashamed of it.

Was that the time they would have to pay tribute?

Haha , good thing it was found in the remote part of Yobe because we know those very special type of people who would love to claim that the people who built it couldn't have been Africans. Anyways, Yobe state is very close to lake Chad and parts of Yobe was once covered in lake Chad before it started drying out and strinking due to the encroaching Sahara desert. According to Scientist, back in 5,000 BC, lake Chad, known as Mega lake Chad was much bigger and was the largest lake in Africa.It was larger than all of Germany, France and Netherlands combined. The boat could have been an explanation of the lake cultures around the area and the extent of the lake.

Here is a pic of mega lake chad thousands of years ago. Even though it's the driest region in Nigeria today, most of Northeastern Nigeria was under water then.

do you want us to sack you all from here before you know how many you are in Ghana?

fanficgirl:

Yes, as a vassal state you must pay tribute. You also don't have complete independence, since you are a territory that must answer to Oyo's rule.
It wasn't until king Ghezo's rule almost a century later that Dahomey was able to completely secure its independence from Oyo.

Electricity (5000mw compared to 2000mw)

Everything one can think of.

Well, the statistics we have posted here have proven u wrong in most of these. Apart from culture, mining, oil and gas (which I would categorize as part of the mining sector), Gdp pc and stock exchange, Kenya trounces Nga in all the other aspects.

Nigeria may be producing more electricity than Kenya, but relative to its population size, it is far from efficient. Kenya on the other hand, with its 2300mw, we cant say it is good enuff.....but it serves the demannd just fine.

leathalbeast:

and why would we Ghanaians lie about having 5 million Nigerians here, I even wished we had just 5 hundred thousand of you here. having many of you here is more of a disadvantage than an advantage.
