Darivie04:You dont create something out of nothing becos only God can do that. You need resources to bring ur imagination and creativity to limelight. how did u expect Thomas to be a genuis according to ur standard when he never had access to education or information to create a new thing? |

VillagePipu:What has that got to do with their initial SUCCESS HERE in NIGERIA? What about the numerous other startups that are immensely successful here, and have not ''listed in SA''? Even as a slave, that slave in the US was renowned for his mathematical prowess. How many of your grandfathers in Africa were renowned for their mathematical prowess. If he were in your village, the only thing he would be renowned for is probably hunting rats or marrying numerous wives.Look at this ignorant buffoon. Let me educate your illiterate, colonised, know-nothing backside. West Africans were among the world's most educated people in the Middle Ages. There were at least 50 UNIVERSITIES in West Africa at the start of the trans-atlantic slave trade in the 16th century, producing graduates in mathematics, astronomy, medicine, the sciences, religion, and other disciplines. Today there are over ONE MILLION MANUSCRIPTS depicting West African knowledge dating to that period. In fact, black West African Moors were responsible for helping to pull EUROPE out of its Dark Ages, by bringing LITERACY and architecture to that continent between the 10th and 16th centuries. Many black Africans were kings and nobles in Europe during that era. You wouldn't know any of this because you are a colonised dunce who has been taught by invaders that his ancestors were savage nobodies. The joke is on you.

Yes, this is the history, lam not a racist, but it was clear Blacks were naturally grifted like every other race. But knowing this history , why the blacks still finding it difficult if not impossible to rise above this psychological problems. Taking the Africans for example, in spite of their independent, instead they seems to be moving on with the idea of self hate and choose to do as if history is telling them nothing. |

Of course, Thomas Fueller must have already been going to school in Africa before slavery. He didn't suddenly become a maths genius overnight. Before 1000 AD, there was already a university in Jenin, Ghana, according to brother Yosef Ben Joachannan. The school was later moved to Sankore, Mali in about 1325 ca AD. I am not surprised at all. If you check history, you'll never be surprised about this type of news. Africans were already going to school before Europeans!. The first educated Europeans (Greeks) got their education in Africa!!. The US state house, the white house where their president still live today was designed by an African named Benjamin Banneker. He was the chief architect for that building. His father who was probably an architect before slavery carried his African craftsmanship to America and it saw Banneker who was also an architect, design their government house. And they were many people like that. Thousands of years of human civilization already passed and the Europeans were nowhere to be found. Civilizations already prospered in Africa, Asia, South America before Europeans merely joined. Nothing was invented in Europe before the 14th century, except BOMB. During our slavery, history was later re-written by Europeans and with their language, education, and religion still imposed on us, they brainwashed us and have us believe that we were nobody, whereas it was the Europeans that were nobody. They just turned history upside down!. Unfortunately, many of you believe them. If anybody want more of such info and you have a DHL or Fedex account, email me your account info, name and shipping address and I will make copies (DVD) of documentaries of similar stories and send to your address.

y3mi:Every civilization engaged in slavery at a point in time as a form of trade. We had inter-tribal slavery even in our own land. I consider the European slave-trade and colonization to be more far-reaching as it went beyond physical but mental bondage. They engaged in a dismembering and a total eclipse of identity of the people in the lands they conquered. Replacing the identity of the people with theirs. Let's not also forget the acts of barbarism. The truth is that European conquest of the African continent and all other continents was very strategic and deliberate. It involves a lot of mind-programming which we (Native and Diasporic Africans) have unfortunately not been able to wriggle ourselves out of. You are correct that we Africans have attained a high level of civilization that may surpass that of Europe if studied. But the blame also goes to Europeans who deliberately erased any trace of civilization credited to us and championed themselves as the beginning and the end of civilization. However, I'll like you to enlighten me more on the Arab slavery of Africans. Thanks |

AkpaMgbor:That is most refuse to acknowledge. After more than 60 years of independence and 200 years since slavery ended, majority still hold the view that whites are the reasons blacks are not progressing. Whereas the race was not the only enslaved race (every race on the face of the earth was enslaved at some point), other races were enslaved. Yet they picked themselves up and succeeded. It is up to us to change the narrative and stop abdicating responsibility while espousing a victimisation policy. |

@y3mi I will expand research on this your observation and revert to you, I think you have a good point worth knowing more. |

Darivie04:It doesn't matter what your opinion is,the point is that blacks are the forerunners of knowledge. |

Thank you bro!I was reading where they said he performed complex calculations and I was confused as I kept wondering what they meant by that. No doubt, the guy performs cumbersome arithmetic without a calculator and I have friends that know how to do that even today but who don't know maths.Mathematics is way different from arithmetic and it is the most difficult subject I can think of as it requires a whole lot of creativity and ingenuity.

y3mi:Thank you so much for your response. Contrary to your assumptions that my perspective is based on hear-say evidence. I've read accounts of Black revolutionaries and intellectuals. To name a few. Ngugi w' Thongo- Something Torn and New, W.E.B. Dubois- Souls of Black Folk among others which leaves me with some reservations. I will also read the book you recommended. PS: I'm female.lol |
