Mention a single significant thing that you have done. Just 1.

As far back as centuries ago, we had the Benin wall which is the largest structure built by man longer than the Great wall of China. We had Empires built by the Borno, Oyo, Bini, etc.

You should learn to read wide and not trash talk your own thing so that you'll look smart in front of outsiders.

All these structure help who? We can't even turn them to tourist destination and make money...this country is dead bro...only someone that use to benefit from the current government will be saying this you are saying.

The reason why poeple hate hitler is because he was defeated, if he had won ww2 we will all be celebrating him just like we are celebrating the Americans as if they are free of blemishes.

Success is sweet nobody likes failure. Hitler has alot good qualities.

If Hitler won, there would have been mass extermination not only of Jews, but of white Eastern Europeans

And Africa would have become a large plantation.

The Nazis viewed Africans as 'subhuman', to the point that in 1938 they sterilized allmost all half black children in Germany.

Good thing Hitler lost. Inasmuch as the allied powers UK and US were racist, Nazi Germany was far far worse.

What you are seeing is the result of centuries of invention and innovation since at least the Middle Ages....something which was fired by the fact that the climate of that region was harsh.

If you are a black man, you won't admire Hitler...same if you are a jew, a white guy from the eastern european countries, etc.

Better buy a biography of Hitler...Ian Kershaw's Hitler, and Richard Evans' Third Reich series are good non-fiction books to start with.

I've always found people's reaction to issues such as this highly disturbing. I remember arguing with a friend back in school over a picture of Hirochima as at 1944, he insisted there was no way the skyscrappers in the pics were real.

What is the big deal about a bulletproof car as at 1941, Advanced aircrafts were already in use then, People already had steady power, nations already had space shuttles and finally, skyscrapppers were already old news, advanced naval destroyers already existed. Submarines nkọ, everywhere.

Space travel was not present in 1941. The Space shuttle was developed in the 1970's and the first flight was in 1981.

The Germans and British did develop jet fighters by the 1940's (the German one might have been of great use for them, if not for Hitler's meddling).

HOWEVER....the Germans developed the first intercontinental ballistic missiles the V1, V2 and the V3 which were used to attack the UK IN 1944/5. The designer of these missiles, Wernher Von Braun later designed the Saturn V rocket that took American astronauts to the moon between 1969-71.(He also had a working plan to get men to Planet Mars...sadly did not get off the drawing board)

The Space age began with the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik in 1957. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gargarian became the first man in space in 1961

One of history’s most significant cars is the Mercedes-Benz 770K Grosser used by Adolf Hitler.

The Mercedes-Benz 770, also known as the Großer Mercedes (German for “large Mercedes”), was a large luxury car built by Mercedes-Benz from 1930 to 1943.

The 1939 Mercedes-Benz 770 Grosser Offener Tourenwagen used by Hitler was the most technologically advanced car of its time.

The four-seat, 7.7-liter convertible had armour-plating and 30mm thick bulletproof glass. It was used for the state visit of Benito Mussolini in 1940.




The car was used several times by the German dictator for rallies across Europe.

The 20-foot long limousine was last used on parade at the old Reichstag on May 4, 1941, where Hitler celebrated the defeat of Yugoslavia and Greece.


This Mercedes-Benz 770K ‘Grosser’ or ‘Grand’ still bears the original registration IA148461 and chassis number of 189744.

The 770K was partially armoured was seized by the US Army after the war. It was not used much and ended up in France when it was discovered by American forces who, unaware of its history, used it as a military pool car for several months.

It was put under the control and use of the U.S Army Military Police stationed in Le Havre, France and eventually made its way to the United States.

It was donated to a local branch of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, which used the car in parades.


The Grosser was then retired, parked and forgotten in garage storage until 1976.





Since then, it had had several American owners before being sold to a European collector in 2004.

Upon its rediscovery, it has appeared in several museums and displays since then including the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the Chicago Historical Antique Automobile Museum and the Canadian War Museum in Ottowa.


The car is the last of the eight original W150 770K models made and one of only five surviving cars today.

Out of the five, only three, including this particular car, is in private hands with the other two with museums worldwide.

As of November 2009, one of Hitler’s 770Ks was allegedly purchased for several million euros by an unnamed Russian billionaire.

Isn't it surprising that Hitler's Holocaust was targeted mainly on Jews based on racial hatred but it turns out that the same Jews are very racist against blacks and IPOB and Biafran apologists ( who are blacks) look up to the Jews based on their mode of worship because of the star of David?

Before anyone comes to quote me and say rubbish...i am a full blooded Igbo man from Anambra State!

Don't be surprised...bigotry exists everywhere.

The fact that a group was oppressed does not mean that the same group cannot become oppressors.

That is why in the Old Testament of the bible, the nation of Israel is constantly reminded to be kind to strangers and even Egyptians in their midst because 'you were once oppressed/strangers in Egypt' A simple way of reminding an 'oppressed' group that just because you were oppressed, it does not mean you too cannot become an oppressor. Be careful.

Many Jews over the years have been involved in anti-racism fights , especially American Jews.

If it wasn't for Hitler, Africans would probably still be slaves, the war with Britain and France greatly reduced their influence on colonies so much that they had to consider 'independence'. Of course that was the period the greatest minds in Africa were hunted down and a new breed of military rulers were trained in Europe. A new breed of slavery herders with zero revolutionary spirit.
