Actually ancient China was more sophisticated than Rome,when it come to weapons, the ancient Chinese uses gun powder to power their arrows and projectiles,giving their weapons a much greater range.If we are to talk of economic, 80% of people in ancient Rome are poor compare to ancient China which was one of the wealthiest empire up to 1830s.

lolz.

You are funny.

If we are talking about sophistication in relation to empires, weapon is one aspect. It's great for seizing lands and conquering them.

That is only a day's work.

How do you keep the lands you seize and for how long do you keep the locals from rebelling?

That's the true test of power and sophistication. The Romans are notorious for setting up chains of commands and soldiers.

They built the best roads round their empire to keep transport easy and fast and at the same time make it easy for information flow.

Gun powder can do very little without the gun. They use it mostly in firecrackers for celebration.

And who told you that gun powder can improve trajectory? Tie a bag of powder to an arrow and you only increase its weight and chances of veering off course.

Please You guys should study history more. Not just rip a single thing off a page and come here to debate.

The Roman empire is like one of the most successful empire which was destroyed by lackadaisical attitude. If not it would still be standing till date because they were willing to learn by incorporating the ideas of those they conquer.

Roman catholics is probably a proof of the ingenuity of that empire. Something the world still hold dear.

Dayvidblue:
Didn't you read the part where he said that he is not Igbo? "Or is your eyes paining you"

so wats your point?

crackhaus:
They never stepped into Africa to dominate it even though they had the power to do so, that's the point my man.
The chinese would rather gain territory from their closest neighbours and solidify their position into one strong boundary, than spreading themselves too thin.

Read the Art of War, by Sun Tzu.

Also research on world history.
Where was the US and the collective west during the periods of the most powerful Chinese dynasties: Tang dynasty (626AD–649AD), Ming dynasty (1368 AD- 1468).
The latter was well-known for its military (navy & army) might.

so because you read the art of war, you think you know world history?

You are not even funny... This is nasty.

China more or less war with its smaller neighboring communities which are mostly other Chinese rebels.

It's like the oyo empire, conquering other Yoruba states and land. They were part of Nigeria but you never see them crossing into benue, Kaduna or other territory.

Because they merely do no have the means to maintain such territory if captured or how do you begin to control a country when it takes weeks for commands to reach your commander?

And if they've got the kind of sophisticated ships that the English have, the same fire power and means of communication they could have had world domination.

Or you don't also know that getting orders is an important aspect of conquering a nation?

Like I said, you shroud your ignorance in mystery to appear intelligent.

China in time do not possess half the sophistication Britain has. China is not even upg to the Roman empire in terms of sophistication. H

Dizzyrascal:
You can quote me on this one
I am not ibo, but ibo men make the best husbands and generally tend to have very stable homes.

When I saw this thread, the only thing that came to my mind was nostalgia because my mom used to be a great fan of his and we had his music videos then. It's great to see that he is doing so well for himself and his family.

These are the people that made growing up fun, not our clueless politicians. who could forget lyrics like

Police yey, police yey
The black man wey dey here is committing suicide oooo

na this chest beating be the root of most of una problems for this country.

With what data did you draw this your conclusion from that ibos make the best husbands?

Is olu Jacobs an igbo man too?

Every tribe get bad and good eggs. No de chest beat anyhow. Get concrete facts

HBB1:
What you have said Bro doesn't make sense!

Number 1: who says Communists are not also expanding or thinking of expanding .
Wars in Africa, Europe and South America have proven so.

Number 2: When was China in that position of World Power, and when they were, what evidence do you have they didn't try to expand their borders?

You realize there are descendants of Chinese in Coastal areas of Kenya, Mauritius and other parts of Africa from way way back?

he's definitely on crack.

They don't know anything but instead of learning, they will hide behind the mist of mystery trying to make themselves look intelligent.

If we begin to delve down the lane of slavery one can easily blame Africans as much as we blame the whites. But the issue of slavery is so sensitive and emotional that people tend to tackle it emotionally rather than logically.

crackhaus:
Check my comment above, China has been in that position of world power before.

The concept of slavery is alien to the founding principles of Communism/Marxism and Socialism, which is what those countries practice. They'd rather expand by land-grabbing territory from their neighbours, NOT overseas.

Can't say the same for imperialists/capitalists like the US with all their military bases scattered everywhere in people's backyards.

when was China a world power? When did they step into Africa?

crackhaus:
You needn't worry bro, it may just be your grandchildren who will enjoy that world... not you

There was a time the world was dominated by China way before the industrialization of Europe, even before the US existed, yet they did not put your African ancestors in chains.
But for some reason, it's the ones who used your people as slaves the moment they got little power, that you trust.

Continue toy soldier.

I wish you know a lil history.

When did China dominate the world?

crackhaus:
Very funny

The same US that did this to your ancestors?

you can't continue to use the past to judge the west.

An what reasons have you that if China or Russia or God forbid Germany if given the same power at that time would not have done the same or even worst.

Better still, what makes you think that if you as a Nigerian given the same power at that time would not have erred in similar fashion?

The black slave that were returned to Freetown turned the community upside down. Forgetting that they were freed slaves, they seized power from the less exposed natives and gain access to the best part of the town.

I'm not justifying Americans or the west for what they have done, but no one is a Saint. Its just chance and circumstances and we are glad to be living in a different time.

Unfortunately, China till date still think the black race is meant to be stamped upon.

crackhaus:
Toy soldiers like yourself are important for the gospel

you can name call all you want.

But I never look forward to working in world dominated by the Chinese.

crackhaus:
Just in case you're still undecided about who the real troublemaker on this planet is...

I'd rather the USA be the trouble maker than either China, Russia or Germany.

China na demon in wolf clothing.

Like most catholic church there was one close to our house which is always open any day of the week.

As a child I used to spend a lot of time inside the church just playing around especially with the drums and keyboard.

One day I mistakenly picked a wire from the floor and recieved the greatest shock of my life. It was so intensed I had to run from the alter.

Inside of me to just go home, I said I must set trap for other people. So I put on my slippers and climb the alter again. I carefully connected the wire to the metal ring holding the local drum in place.

After connecting it, I touched the drum skin, nothing happened. I touched the wood nothing happened. I even touched the iron and nothing happened. So I thought the thing didn't work and resume my play again.

I can't remember what happened again maybe I was running around like I used to and then came back on the alter without my slippers. I went to touch the drum iron and this time I wasn't even prepared for the next hit on me. Mehn electricity is bad.

Na so I remove the wire run comot from church o.

All I see is help. Help. Help and more help.

You're been too nice. She was surviving before she met you and will survive after you are gone.

So, cancel those nice thoughts out of your mind. If you wan f*ck her, then give her space. Stay out longer and let her c less of you. No let am enter ya room again and stop to the feed ha.

She go mk u-turn.

But if you no wan f*ck ha then just continue to be the provider and you no go c ha pant.

One thing I have observed is that guys too the catch feelings early early.

DukeNija:
This life is vanity. The wealthiest men understand this but poor, broke humans think money is everything. Warren Buffet is 90 with his Billions and knows his clock is winding down and no amount of money can turn it around. Not even all his wealth. When he dies, he dies with nothing.
Your wealth ends here on earth. Where’re the likes of Rockefeller? Henry Ford? Mansa Musa? They’re all gone, their wealth is now useless to them wherever they are. Use your head.

at least you know them almost 100 years later after they lived.

You can't say the same thing for the billions of poor people who died that century or even yesterday.

Money can't buy life but poverty also cannot. Warren buffet may be dying but he can't complain of a life well lived. The same can't be said of billions of poor people alive.

Life no matter how good is not meant to be forever. The best way to live your life is to make the best use of it and money happens to be one of the best ways to get the best out of life weda you want to help people or live in luxury.

Money is not vanity. Money is the good substance of life. Get as much as you can and either keep it or spread it. But don't live with the mentality that it can't buy life.

Money has actually bought a lot of lives btw. Bill Gates have spent billions giving millions of African children a second chance in life. Imagine if he has nothing. Those millions would have been dead.

Awol1:
Money couldn't buy him a life forever?

And they will tell me not to say all is vanity?

your poverty too cannot buy you eternal life o

If Slawormir the damnnnn niggarrrrrr guy always finds a way to comment on 40% of FP topics, what time does he use to scam people?

Like for Righteousness89
Share for Slawormir


Election rigging
MODIFIED

Well, I used this to do a little experiment and I can categorically tell you that people DO actually follow the crowd (I'm guilty of this too )
The first poll was "Like for Slawormir, Share for Righteousness89" and Slawormir's fans were winning almost in the ratio of 3:1, then I modified the post and interchanged them (like INEC) and because people saw that our Nairaland pastor was (seemingly) winning, he got more votes than swallow me.
Thank you all for participating in my little experiment today, do have a blessed day.

or it could mean that people find it easier to like than to share.

Just as people finds it easier to like than to retweet on twitter.

So Facebook can no longer do the trick for you eh?
Next is to post on reddit or quora seeking for validation.

No

rentAcock:
I hate to blame the victim, however, why didn't she report the case to the UK authorities when she was still in the UK? What was she doing at the guy's apartment to begin with? Had it been she reported the case in the UK, they would've carried out an unbiased investigation and if found guilty, the guy would've lost his medical license and served time.

the UK agencies carried out a thorough investigation and found out she was lying.

They already cleared the guys name. He charged her for defamation or something and she ran to Nigeria.

He's still charging her in Nigeria. That's why you are hearing this now.
