LyfeJennings:MISEDUCATED, BRAINWASHED NEGRO, LET ME SCHOOL YOUR COLONISED, IGNORANT HEAD, THEN YOU CAN GO AND ARGUE WITH EXPERTS: THERE WOULD BE NO MODERN WORLD TO SPEAK OF TODAY, WITHOUT THE MASSIVE INNOVATIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF BLACK AFRICANS OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT. 12 Amazing African Inventions and Innovations That Led To World Civilization 1 Speech The first words by humans were spoken by Africans. ''Using statistical methods to estimate the time required to achieve the current spread and diversity in modern languages today, Johanna Nichols — a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley — argues that vocal language must have arisen in our species at least 100,000 years ago. Using phonemic diversity, a more recent analysis offers directly linguistic support for a similar date. Estimates of this kind are independently supported by genetic, archaeological, palaeontological and much other evidence suggesting that language probably emerged somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa during the Middle Stone Age, roughly contemporaneous with the speciation of Homo sapiens.'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_language 2 Writing In 1999, Archaeology Magazine reported that the earliest Egyptian hieroglyphs date back to 3400 BCE which "...challenge the commonly held belief that early logographs, pictographic symbols representing a specific place, object, or quantity, first evolved into more complex phonetic symbols in Mesopotamia." Who were these original Egyptians? The Greek historian Herodotus.. described the Colchians of the Black Sea shores as "Egyptians by race" and pointed out they had "black skins and kinky hair." Apollodorus, the Greek philosopher, described Egypt as "the country of the black-footed ones" and the Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus said "the men of Egypt are mostly brown or black with a skinny desiccated look." http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1624_story_of_africa/page88.shtml In his book 'Egypt', British scholar Sir E.A. Wallis Budge says: "The prehistoric native of Egypt, both in the old and in the new Stone Ages, was African and there is every reason for saying that the earliest settlers came from the South." He further states: "There are many things in the manners and customs and religions of the historic Egyptians that suggests that the original home of their prehistoric ancestors was in a country in the neighborhood of Uganda and Punt [present day Somalia]." https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4a/70/3b/4a703be4f22ca99f45c67e4ba05b3426.jpg ''Greek historian Diodorus Siculus devoted an entire chapter of his world history, the Bibliotheke Historica, or Library of History (Book 3), to the Kushites ["Aithiopians"] of Meroe. Here he repeats the story of their great piety, their high favor with the gods, and adds the fascinating legend that they were.. the founders of Egyptian civilization, invented writing, and had given the Egyptians their religion and culture.'' (1st century B.C., Diodorus Siculus of Sicily, Greek historian and contemporary of Caesar Augustus, Universal History Book III. 2. 4-3. 3) http://wysinger.homestead.com/blackegypt101.html To summarise: "Ancient Egypt was a Negro civilisation. The history of Black Africa will remain suspended in the air and cannot be written correctly until African historians connect it with the history of Egypt. The African historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest nor objective nor unruffled. He is ignorant, cowardly and neurotic. The ancient Egyptians were Negroes. The moral fruit of their civilisation is to be counted among the assets of the Black world." - Cheikh Anta Diop, The African Origin of Civilisation. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/8e/df/df/8edfdfeff02c69723959a961a6b524ea.jpg 3 Medicine ''The earliest known surgery was performed in Egypt around 2750 BC.... The Ebers papyrus (1550 BC) is full of incantations and foul applications meant to turn away disease-causing demons, and also includes 877 prescriptions. It may also contain the earliest documented awareness of tumors.. Homer (800 BC) remarked in the Odyssey: "In Egypt, the men are more skilled in medicine than any of human kind" and "the Egyptians were skilled in medicine more than any other art". The Greek historian Herodotus visited Egypt around 440 BC and wrote extensively of his observations of their medicinal practices. Pliny the Elder also wrote favourably of them in historical review. Hippocrates (the 'father of medicine'), Herophilos, Erasistratus and later Galen studied at the temple of Amenhotep, and acknowledged the contribution of ancient Egyptian medicine to Greek medicine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_medicine 4 Architecture The African empire of Egypt developed a vast array of diverse structures and great architectural monuments along the Nile, among the largest and most famous of which are the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza The pyramids, which were built in the Fourth Dynasty, testify to the power of the pharaonic religion and state. They were built for reasons that remain mysterious to modern knowledge. The size and simple design show the high skill level of African design and engineering on a large scale. The Great Pyramid of Giza, which was probably completed c. 2580 BC, is the oldest and largest of the pyramids, and is the only surviving monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The pyramid of Khafre is believed to have been completed around 2532 BC, at the end of Khafre's reign. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/21/32/59/2132596353cacee7484fdef5947cb8df.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_architecture 5 Mathematics The invention of mathematics is placed firmly in African PRE-HISTORY. ''The oldest known possibly mathematical object is the Lebombo bone, discovered in the Lebombo mountains of Swaziland and dated to approximately 35,000 BC. It consists of 29 distinct notches cut into a baboon's fibula. Also prehistoric artifacts discovered in Africa and France, dated between 35,000 and 20,000 years old [respectively], suggest early attempts to quantify time. The Ishango bone, found near the headwaters of the Nile river (northeastern Congo), may be as much as 20,000 years old and consists of a series of tally marks carved in three columns running the length of the bone. Common interpretations are that the Ishango bone shows either the earliest known demonstration of sequences of prime numbers or a six month lunar calendar. Also, Predynastic Egyptians of the 5th millennium BC pictorially represented geometric designs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematics#Prehistoric_mathematics ''Numeral systems have been many and diverse, with the first known written numerals created by Egyptians in Middle Kingdom texts such as the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. The earliest uses of mathematics were in trading, land measurement, painting and weaving patterns and the recording of time. More complex mathematics did not appear until around 3000 BC, when the Egyptians and Babylonians began using arithmetic, algebra and geometry for taxation and other financial calculations, for building and construction, and for astronomy'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics 6 Mining of minerals The oldest known mine on archaeological record is the "Lion Cave" in Swaziland, which radiocarbon dating shows to be about 43,000 years old. Much later on, the Africans of Egypt mined malachite....Quarries for turquoise and copper were also found at "Wadi Hamamat, Tura, Aswan and various other Nubian sites"..The gold mines of Nubia were among the largest and most extensive in the world, and are described by the Greek author Diodorus Siculus. He mentions that fire-setting was one method used to break down the hard rock holding the gold. One of the complexes is shown in one of earliest known maps. They crushed the ore and ground it to a fine powder before washing the powder for the gold dust. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining#Prehistoric_mining 7 Iron Smelting Iron smelting is a form of extractive metallurgy; its main use is to produce a metal from its ore. This includes production of silver, iron, copper and other base metals from their ores. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gasses or slag and leaving just the metal behind. Early iron smelting: ''Where and how iron smelting was discovered is widely debated, and remains uncertain due to the significant lack of production finds.. [but] there is a further possibility of iron smelting and working in West Africa by 1200 BC. In addition, very early instances of carbon steel were found to be in production around 2000 years before the present in northwest Tanzania, based on complex preheating principles. These discoveries are significant for the history of metallurgy.'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting 8 Religion Greek historian Diodorus Siculus. From his own statements we learn that he traveled in Egypt around 60 BC. His travels in Egypt probably took him as far south as the first Cataract. He wrote about the ''Ethiopians'' south of Egypt. "They further write that it was among them that people were first taught to honour the gods and offer sacrifices and arrange processions and festivals and perform other things by which people honor the divine. For this reason their piety is famous among all men, and the sacrifices among the Aithiopians are believed to be particularly pleasing to the divinity," 9 Laws Stephanus of Byzantium, who is said to represent the opinions of the most ancient Greeks, says: "Ethiopia was the first established country on the earth, and the Ethiopians were the first who introduced the worship of the Gods and who established laws." Quoted by John D. Baldwin, Prehistoric Nations, p. 62. 10 International Trade In 1825, Arnold Hermann Heeren (1760-1842), Professor of History and Politics in the University of Gottengen and one of the ablest of the early exponents of the economic interpretation of history, published, in the fourth and revised edition of his great work Ideen Uber Die Politik, Den Verkehr Und Den Handel Der Vornehmsten Volker Der Alten Weld, a lengthy essay on the history, culture, and commerce of the ancient Ethiopians, which had profound influence on contemporary writers in the conclusion that it was among these ancient Black people of Africa and Asia that international trade was first developed. He thinks that as a by-product of these international contacts there was an exchange of ideas and cultural practices that laid the foundations of the earliest civilizations of the ancient world. Heeren in his researches says: "From the remotest times to the present, the Ethiopians [ancient name for blacks south of the Sahara] have been one of the most celebrated, and yet the most mysterious of nations. In the earliest traditions of nearly all the..civilized nations of antiquity, the name of this distant people is found. The annals of the Egyptian priests are full of them, and the nations of inner Asia, on the Euphrates and Tigris, have interwoven the fictions of the Ethiopians with their traditions of the wars and conquests of their heroes; and, at a period equally remote, they glimmer in Greek mythology. When the Greeks scarcely knew Italy and Sicily by name, the Ethiopians were celebrated in the verses of their poets, and when the faint gleam of tradition and fable gives way to the clear light of history, the lustre of the Ethiopians is not diminished." http://wysinger.homestead.com/blackegypt101.html 11 Philosophy Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy#Ancient_philosophy Philosophy in Africa has a rich and varied history, dating from pre-dynastic Egypt, continuing through the birth of Christianity and Islam. Arguably central to the ancients was the conception of "ma'at", which roughly translated refers to "justice", "truth", or simply "that which is right". One of the earliest works of political philosophy was the Maxims of Ptah-Hotep, which were taught to Egyptian schoolboys for centuries...Ancient Egyptian philosophers made extremely important contributions to Hellenistic philosophy, Christian philosophy, and Islamic philosophy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_philosophy ''Ancient Egyptian philosophy has been credited by the ancient Greeks as being the beginning of philosophy''. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_philosophy 12 Art The oldest art objects in the world—a series of tiny, drilled snail shells about 75,000 years old—were discovered in a South African cave. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art |
LyfeJennings:I HATE TO RESPOND TO ILLITERATES BECAUSE IT IS SO DRAINING, BUT I'LL TRY. so what has Benin city turned into if it has such level of civilization after the whites left?The British attacked, burnt down, and looted the city in 1897, you blasted ignoramus with no knowledge of your history!!!! The rebuilt Benin is a lot more developed today than it was ''when the whites left''. ''WHEN THE WHITES LEFT'', there was not a single power plant in the entire country for starters, with Kainji dam being the first, commissioned in 1964. Africans naturally tell themselves a lot of lies to make themselves feel right but U know whatYour ignorance wears a hat and carries a walking stick, as the Igbos say. Is your thick, colonised skull aware of the fact that black Africans ruled large swathes of Europe between the 7th to 17th centuries? Are you aware that it was those black Africans who led Europe out of its Dark Ages, into their Renaissance, which was the springboard for the Industrial Revolution? The images of the black Moors of Europe are all over the web. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/daphnepetrakos/black-moors-in-art/ But donkeys with zero self esteem like you will never care to know about them because you are much happier to play happy slave and dunce to the people your ancestors civilized. Even the holy books never mentioned the black man as a worthy individualColonised toad. Are you aware that the original images of Jesus and the Israelites were of BLACK people? ''Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD.'' Amos 9:7 If THAT is not ''mentioning the black man as a worthy individual'', I don't know what is. What you need to do is show us where the WHITE man is mentioned as a ''worthy individual'' in any 'holy book'. The images of the ancient Jews started to be whitened in the 17th century by European racists, but if you go on Google images and type in 'BLACK MADONNA', you will find THOUSANDS of ancient images depicting the Israelites as black people. Here's a sample from European churches: https://i.pinimg.com/564x/51/00/33/51003320edbca4a587f4c779b171bd27.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/564x/3e/5c/6a/3e5c6a9dceef0378864f551e719ffebf.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/564x/92/85/d8/9285d8dbb053c208ad0f7f56c2d4cd3e.jpg See more: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/curry1011/black-madonna/ |
LyfeJennings:Ignorant, colonised dunce. Are you aware that Benin City had streetlights and underground drainage 300 years before any city in Europe? Are you aware that West Africa is home to some of the oldest universities on Earth, in Mali and elsewhere? The stupefying level of historical ignorance displayed by you people on this forum is truly alarming. You are complete historical illiterates with regard to AFRICAN history. No wonder you think you are inferior to other races. Disgusting. |
Exkandayee:Until we are rid of rotten, mentally damaged people who reason like you, drowned in inferiority complex, ignorance and self hatred, we will get nowhere as a people. Disgusting. |
bibianna:Oh sure, let's hand the CBN governorship over to you. Did you pass secondary school? You think this is about looking for somebody with money to fck? Just return to the kitchen where you belong, or watching BB Naija with your Brazilian dog hair and bleached skin. |
FERNANDEZISBACK:You are an animal. Tell us the "process" that caused the Ukraine guards to throw off pregnant black women from the trains fleeing the conflict, as was reported in the news. If you are truly a black person, I pray that you fall victim to racists one day, so they can drum some sense into your dumb slave head. |
IPOB - Bunch of bloodthirsty illiterates who think they are smart. When will they protect Igbos from their UGM, before talking of Hausas? |
FAILED, WORTHLESS AND USELESS CANNIBALS. |
Oga go and find the other 50 million and pay, make we hear word abeg. You're a big shot, so it's nothing to you. |
Islandlady:Somebody is paying them to do that thing. |
Hismasterpiece:You're a colonised moro.n. Your problems reduced AFTER independence which is why you are educated and exposed unlike your illiterate peasant village grandparents. The Brits looted 95% or more of your annual income. Nigerian politicians loot 30 to 40% max, which is why we have some development occurring, unlike the ZERO development and mass illiteracy and malnutrition of the colonial era. Are you aware your first power plant was Kainji dam, commissioned in 1964 by the Balewa administration? The whites you worship ruled you for a century, exporting your natural resources, and didn't build you a single power plant or national grid till they were driven out. Mass public education began only after independence. Everyday, thank your lucky stars for independence, without which you would just be a dirty village farmer or hunter like your grandpa or great grandpa under colonial rule. |
emmyclassic:Ignoramus, why don't you go and learn your African history instead of spewing your colonised ignorance? You think it was white people that began mining minerals on this Earth because you are a miseducated, ignorant, colonised negro with zero knowledge of Africa, which was the birthplace of the mining of minerals dating back to thousands of years. Lost, mumu people drowning in ignorance and self hate. Google is there for free yet you cannot bother to research your history for even a single minute. You will rather spew the fake, false history of insignificance drummed into your heads by colonialists. Useless. And no, most of the world was not "a jungle" before colonialism, you frigging air head. Tufia. You people are just lost. No wonder you bleach your skins and feel inferior to every other race, since you know absolutely nothing about your history and heritage. |
Small children typing rubbish. Europe got developed, not because of 'winter', but because, in a world that had used iron weapons for millenia prior, their greedy leaders deviated from the norm around the 17th century, and used Chinese gunpowder mixtures to build FIREARMS which they used to conquer whole continents and loot their resources. Simple. Prior to this, Europe was the poorest region on Earth, with widespread hunger and starvation. So it was greed and desperation that drove Europe, not 'winter'. "Whatever happens we have got the Maxim gun and they have not". - British colonial looting thug in West Africa. |
Winters23:Don't mind him. Do you think these ones even know their history under colonial rule in Nigeria? They have NO CLUE. That is why they think the British and French were better. |
Arda1000:Empty headed dunce. Are you aware that every ethnic group in Nigeria migrated from somewhere else? So how many years back shall we go to determine who has become an "indigene" on any land? Has your empty head even thought of these things and how contentious they are? Stupid donkey. Don't go and do something useful with your useless life. |
IGBOSON1:Murderer and devil. You are destined for hell. You cannot lie to God. Your time of reckoning is coming. |
symbianDON:A Biafra ruled by IPOB is literally the nightmare of all nightmares. Imagine criticising President Kanu the way we do our president in Nigeria? You'll be arrested, killed, and EATEN by IPOB soldiers. |
omenkaLives:Yep. Almost certain he supported these animals initially. Many who still support them will learn their own lesson too one day. |
Arda1000:But there are 11 million Igbos in the north, according to Ohaneze. Why don't you go and claim the north as Biafra? It is only where your greedy nose smells oil and gas and natural resources that you remember you have 'kindred' there, even if only 3 Igbos live there. Criminal. YOU GO and sacrifice your life for oil and leave the Igbo masses alone because you don't care a hoot about them. Devil. |
Arda1000:Mumu, use your fcking brain. Kanu was offered the 5 Igbo states to form his Biafra in 2017, when he was in prison, and he REFUSED, insisting he must have Rivers State, Benue, etc. If this was truly about 'Igbo freedom' he would have accepted the deal and perhaps campaigned for more land afterwards. That is how it is done all over the world. But his ONE AND ONLY OBJECTIVE is ownership of the delta resources for his rogue group of terrorists. Hence his refusal of the 5 SE states which he sees as financially WORTHLESS. |
They couldn't find a nice, short and snazzy name to give the edifice rather than this longwinded tongue twister? Incompetent fools. |
Proudlyomonna:People like you need to realise that the Biafra agitation has NEVER been about freeing the Igbos from anything. It has always been about a rogue group of Igbo elite seeking to corner the delta's oil and gas assets, NOT for the Igbo masses, but for themselves and to enrich their families. This is why they are happy to kill (and eat) Igbos who oppose them. That is why they never have Igbo casualties on their mind when they prescribe their lunatic, suicidal policies. Igbos are merely the foil and cannon fodder in their satanic drive to enrich themselves. |
Mazisimonekpa:You demonic entity. Like Ojukwu and Kanu you don't care if millions of Igbos are killed in your mad and cursed drive to corner Nigeria's oil and gas resources in the name of 'secession'. Criminal you. Hope you get arrested in Finland very soon and thrown in prison where your dirty self belongs. Animal in human skin and vampire of death. Only Igbo 'freedom fighters' conduct their activities from abroad. Ojukwu fled abroad as did Kanu and now you. You are happy to see Igbos killed in their millions while you hide abroad with your family like the criminal demonic entity you are. I only pity those Igbos gullible enough to accept your perfidy, and dumb enough to sacrifice their lives to Nigerian bombs and bullets while you drink cornflakes with your family in Finland. Ekwensu. Devil from the pits of hell. |
Parachoko:I.5 million ke? You'll be lucky to get 50 thousand voters, the way things are going. |
Mazisimonekpa:lol... The name sef. |
Proudlyomonna:See this mumu. You think Buhari imported cutlasses from Ghana? Plus Indian hemp and used clothes? ![]() Look, Mr Man. The Nigerian media know exactly who made the shipment and for where it was intended. They are not even debating the source of the purchase or its intended destination. Only you mumus on nairaland are still debating that one, because you're living in denial. Journalists discuss machete shipment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt3TDjfcluE&ab_channel=TVCNewsNigeria |
VictorUSA:If you cared about the fact that your fellow Igbos were to be killed with those 206,000 machetes, you wouldn't focus on the north. ![]() |
PointZerom:But who else would import 8 container loads of machetes from Ghana if not your Igbo kinsmen? Machetes are as Igbo as daggers are Hausa. They couldn't even resist adding the odd bale of used clothes, to 'fill up the container'. We know it ain't Fulani herdsmen doing that... Your UGM brothers ordered those 206,000 matchetes to kill Igbos who go out to vote at the next elections. |
