Because whites tell themselves the truth, they plan ahead for the future generations. Whites identify what is not working and change course and allow everyone to grow at his/her pace. New York tax is not funding Alabama, states collect all taxes and remit a percentage to the federal govt, every state is in charge of its education. Security of lives and property is important to whites and upper middle class don't need security to move around, even Mark Zuckerberg just hired an armed guard this year and that's due to Facebook secret that was exposed as LIFELOG and a brainchild of the CIA that wasn't intended to be a social media but ended up being like one. People feel betrayed and the dude now has a panic button on him at all times and a shoot that can drop him to the parking garage in a twinkle of an eye with a private escape route and a traffic monitoring staff. Africans especially Nigerians can't tell themselves the truth, Nigeria is not working and will never work cos we are too different but no one wants to talk about that. Some sections of the country know they can't survive on their own and are holding others down with them. |

THE TIMBUKTU MANUSCRIPTS http://www.timbuktufoundation.org/manuscripts.htm Discovery of Timbuktu Manuscripts puts an end to Western "Songs and Dance Theory" of African People.  ‘The Timbuktu manuscripts’ are a symbolic representation of the impact and influence of the early schools and universities ( XII-XVIth century) that existed in West Africa ( Timbuktu-Gao-Djenné-Kano). However, the manuscripts that remain in Timbuktu are only part of the intellectual heritage of West Africa. Many other manuscripts can be found in other locations in West Africa. There are 700,000 manuscripts in Timbuktu and surroundings that are on the verge of being lost if the appropriate action is not taken. These manuscripts represent a turning point in the history of Africa and its people. The translation and publication of the manuscripts of Timbuktu will restore self-respect, pride, honor and dignity to the people of Africa and those descended from Africa; it will also obliterate the stereo-typical images of Tarzan and primitive savages as true representation of Africa and its civilization. The manuscripts of Timbuktu are a living testimony of the highly advanced and refined civilization in Sub-Sahara Africa. Before the European Renaissance, Timbuktu flourished as the greatest academic and commercial center in Africa. Great empires such as Ghana, Mali, and Songhai were proofs of the talents, creativity and ingenuity of the African people. The University of Timbuktu produced both Black African scholars and leaders of the highest rank, character and nobility. The manuscripts of Timbuktu cover diverse subjects such as mathematics, chemistry, physics, optics, astronomy, medicine, Islamic sciences, history, geography, government legislation and treaties, jurisprudence and much more. From the 10th century and onward, Timbuktu became an important port where goods from West Africa and North Africa were traded. Goods coming from Mediterranean shores and salt were traded in Timbuktu for gold. The prosperity of the city attracted both black scholars, black merchants and Arab traders from North Africa. Salt, books and gold were very much in demand at that time. Salt was brought from Tegaza in the north, and gold from the immense gold mines of the Boure and Banbuk, and books were the refined work of the black scholars and scholars of the Sanhaja descent. In fact, Leo Africanus, a historian of the XVIth century wrote about Timbuktu: ''There are many judges, doctors and clerics here, all receiving good salaries from King Askia Muhammad of the State of Songhay. He pays great respect to men of learning. There is a great demand for books, and more profit is made from the trade in books than from any other line of business.” The manuscripts provide a written testimony to the skill of African scientists, in astronomy, mathematics, chemistry, medicine and climatology in the Middle Ages. The manuscripts point to the fact that Africa has a rich legacy of written history, contrary to popular opinion that oral tradition alone has preserved its heritage. This is important, given that written records are believed to be such crucial markers of civilisation. By the 12th century, Timbuktu became a celebrated center of Islamic learning and a commercial establishment. Timbuktu had three universities and 180 Quranic schools. These universities were the Sankore University, Jingaray Ber University and Sidi Yahya University. This was the golden age of [post Nile Valley] Africa. Books were not only written in Timbuktu, but they were also imported and copied there. There was an advanced local book copying industry in the city. The universities and private libraries contained unparalleled scholarly works. The famous scholar of Timbuktu Ahmad Baba who was among those forcibly exiled in Morocco claimed that his library of 1600 books had been plundered, and that his library, according to him, was one of the smaller in the city. Sankore University Artistic Render Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE7UVK4lFs4 Restoration of the Manuscripts South African involvement South Africa came onto the scene when President Thabo Mbeki offered help to the Malian government to preserve the ancient scripts during a state visit in 2001. The two countries have now launched a trust fund to elicit funds from the public to preserve the continent's heritage. An estimated R36-million is needed over a five-year period, both to upgrade the Ahmed Baba Centre and to finance the building of a new library equipped with the necessary technology to preserve the manuscripts. The Timbuktu Manuscripts have been earmarked as the first official cultural project of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (Nepad), the socio-economic revival plan of the African Union. They have also become a South African Presidential Project, co-ordinated by the Presidency and the Department of Arts and Culture, through the National Archives in Pretoria. South Africa is now sharing with Mali its own technical expertise on preserving ancient documents. According to project leader Dr Graham Dominy of the National archives, four Malians have just finished part of the training process. 1 Like |

patchsk: To answer the question you posed, you MUST delve into history. Before you buy a car, you ask the seller for its service history, so you know where the car stands in terms of functionality and risk. When you observe a functional or dysfunctional society, you study its history, to learn how it got that way. To retrace your journey you must know where the rain began to beat you, as the old Igbo proverb goes. Without research and study of history, you are left with motorpark tout, air head explanations - ''oh it is because we love sex!'' Wasted education. Requiring a refund. 1 Like |

brudiga: No civilization on earth is permanent. No race or region can ever hold permanent dominance over the rest of the world. No matter how high you climb, eventually, human frailties will lead to your downfall as a society. Humans are imperfect beings. Vices like greed, complacency, arrogance, infighting in the ruling class, decadence caused by prosperity - there's a host of factors that will eventually lead to a society's downfall. Babylon, Rome, Greece, Egypt, China, Nubia, ALL had their time of dominance and eventually were overtaken by others. Being on the downward trend at this time does not mean you are ''an inferior race'', any more than the cave dwelling whites were an ''inferior race'' when Africans were building civilizations and philosophies. Civilization occurs in cycles. This region in this era dominates, to be replaced by another region centuries or millennia down the line. Even today, Asia is gradually replacing Europe as the world's economic powerhouse. Nothing stays permanent. Africa's turn will come, and there are signs of an African Renaissance as we speak. Look at Rwanda. Kenya, Ghana, Botswana, Ethiopia. Booming economies. Even Nigeria is making progress albeit a bit slower these days. Africa is rising. The world in say 300 years time could be dramatically different, at the rate we're going. The white man could well wipe out his civilization with nuclear and biological weapons, and return to the bottom of the human ladder, and be replaced by others. This is why the study of history is so important. You get to realise quickly that nothing remains the same in this world. Things change. 2 Likes |

"If a Child would not know what killed or cured his father, the Child would not know Cure till he died." in this 21st century, Nigeria should not repeat the woes and pains of her Colonial Master. Government has been hoisted on us mistakenly by our Military. Now let us reverse the system to the grassroot LGs by granting full Autonomy of Police, Resources and Election Control to our 36 States.

brudiga: Empires come and go.... Nothing is permanent.... There was a time latin was the official language of the world.... If u can't speak or write in Latin, u are deemed a stark illiterate... Now Latin has been relegated to the shelves of university library remembered only for academic purposes.... Let no one lie to u.... Black built empire.... We had Timbuktu in Mali.... Timbuktu at it's peak, had a university even b4 European could dream of one.... It taught courses like medicine, mathematics, chemistry, physiology, astronomy etc... It offered basic degrees as well as advanced degrees.... It boasted of a library with 50 thousand manuscripts and had over 20 thousand students.... Timbuktu once had a ruler who was deemed the richest man that ever liveth.... When he travelled to the middle east, the worth of gold he carried along crashed the price of gold globally.... And Timbuktu is in sub Sahara africa and had blacks as inhabitants.... Do u know the ancient Ugandans were performing successful CS even b4 the white man learnt the art.... And some ancient african civilisation already had well developed written languages e.g fulfude, shongai, bambara and they were used as medium of instruction.... Do u know the black moors conquered n ruled the iberia peninsula of Europe for more than 300 years.... Yes they were black men...... What the black man lack is the principle of self preservation and that's what we still suffering today.... We struggle to transfer knowledge and wealth from generation to generation.... And without the above skills, legacy can't be built.... Unfortunately, the present black generation seem worse off with their irritating mental slavery.... They won't see what some Arab countries and Asians are achieving and ask questions on how to develop Africa... Rather, they will keep believing the lies of the white man that their fore fathers were savages and barbaric.... Look here , the white man is not necessarily astonishingly intelligent but he's very smart...U have to give the latter to him.... They destroy any civilisation they perceive as threat.... They use weapons of war to destroy and subjugate superior opposition..... Then they subjugate their conquered subjects to eternal mental slavery and inferiority complex.... They know once u mentally defeated, u can never compete with them anymore..... Other civilisation didn't see the need to develop advanced weapons of war because they never saw the need to engage in needless war in far away territories.... They were self sufficient.... Global interaction was all about trade.... Sell to me what u have and I'll sell unto u what I have in abundance.... But the problem was the white man had nothing in abundance.... So when the white man entered global trade, there was bound to be problem.... Lack of resources in Europe and greed, forced the white man to seek ways to colonize other lands through war, killing and raping.... They quickly developed the gun and mortar, using it's superior advantage to terrorize naive kingdoms.... That's what they did to carthage, Egypt, india and China..... They forced Chinese leaders to open up it's borders and allow importation of opium.... So Chinese people could become cracked head..... Now Chinese leaders have learnt and has become wiser in dealing with the whites.... Africans never learnt anything and still behaving like mumu thinking white man is superior to him.... The white would rather have u belief that your fore fathers were cannibals, walking around naked, living on trees like monkeys and competing with gorillas for survival..... Then they brought Jesus and civilisation to africa and the black man became civilised..... Therefore, u should be eternally grateful to the white man.... With that mindset, u will never ask critical questions about your people or your land.... U won't develop the cognitive ability to look within for development but would rather always want to copy the white man and be like him.... But no matter how hard u try, u will never attain his level of seccess by copying his ways and the white man knows this.... He owns the system, he understands it better and would always be ahead of u..... The Chinese has shown the rest of the world, u don't need the white man system to develop..... Chinese amazing development is a mystery to the whites, they can't comprehend it, neither do they know how to stop it except by war.... That's why they 've resorted to kidnapping of Chinese daughters...... Benin empirr had an extensive and well developed road network as at 1500 as testified by Dutch and Portuguese who visited the land.... Yet, nigeria struggles to build road in 21st century.... We won't open thread to discuss how our ancestors were able to bake bricks and construct roads..... Yet we now rely on Chinese and Germans to build same roads..... And we wonder why Africans are getting dumber.... |

''Could not properly document their...'' what? Did you read my post on the Timbuktu Manuscripts? Nearly a million manuscripts in total. Have you read a single line of any of them? No? Ignoramus. And you're demanding more, when you haven't read any of the the ones that we wrote. What is the point of your education if critical analysis and research is beyond you? Your problem is that you're swimming in racial inferiority complex, and want simple answers like ''we're just not good enough'', meaning in other words that we are inferior to white people.

The book, ''A Tropical Dependency'' was written in 1900, was not distributed in Nigeria, and was published in England several decades before Nigerians could read in English. Even as late as 1960, literacy rate here was 5% or thereabouts, thanks to colonial neglect of education. So the book was clearly not for us but for them.

The Inquisition was evil. The Crusades were evil. Dropping atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were evil. Among other heinous acts of mass murder they committed in history. Their people suffer from 'zombiezm' too , because they rarely question seriously the decisions of war and slaughter made by their leaders.
