Are you guys eating this shit up? its not uncommon for languages to have false cognates, keep in mind most African languages are tonal as is Chinese

Have you actually watched the video?

It is far more than this rubbish you typed.

Rossikk:
This video has gone viral on YouTube, and is getting people talking….

This is amazing.

sucemt:
He didn't say phone. We all know it's bell.

He was disappointed that a black guy invented the cellphone, so he ran to drag out a white man from 1800 because that makes him feel better.

He might even stop using his cellphone now since a black man invented it.

OKUCHI11:
Not that I'm trying to exhonorate them but

...
The ones Black people are doing to themselves nko...

The question your are supposed to be asking is
.... What has Black people been doing to themselves that will make the white people to be treating them this way...
Listen if you use your golden plate to pack sand in the present of your visitor...

Don't question the same visitor when he tries to use the same golden plate as a dust pan (packer)...


If the image above were to be a Christian urinating in any arabic inscription... All hell would have been let loose... but for them to defend one of their race from other religion... It would be a considered a minor case...


Black people brought this up on themselves...


Can they try this on the least of any Korean nationale definitely not...

Stop being stupid.

There are billions of people out there in the world who hate black people simply because they are black. No other reason. Go and learn what racism means because you have no clue.

This is pure racism and has nothing to do with “what black people did to themselves”.

Are Europeans not slaughtering themselves as we speak in Ukraine and Russia?

Did they not slaughter over 100 million of themselves in two European tribal wars last century which they falsely termed ‘world wars’?

Did Hitler not line up 6 million fellow whites and force them into gas chambers?

Did Stalin not slaughter 10 million fellow Russians?

Does it occur to you when you see a white person to PISS ON THEM because of these atrocities they commit against themselves?

No.

So stop justifying such racist, demonic dehumanisation of Africans.

Bringbackmandat:
just compare with Nigeria of today
Infrastructure zero
Security zero
Economy zero
Dollar to naira, the worst so far
Poverty -130 million in poverty.
Price of commodities - the highest ever

Stop talking rubbish.

What infrastructure do you think you had in the 1960s?

You think the British colonialists built infrastructure?

Our FIRST power plant was KAINJI dam, commissioned in 1964.

Do you know almost everyone was illiterate in the 1960s?

Bicycle was the middle class mode of transportation in the 60s.

A footpath led to your village back then, not a motorable road.

Malnutrition was rife as well.

Most of you could not survive in 1960s Nigeria.

ValarDoharis:
My point is they saw the wisdom in not having 250 languages in one country. They try to make it as monoethnic as possible!

Having three major ethnic groups of almost equal strength will always be a disaster especially if they're not enlightened to suppress tribalism

There are 6,000 languages on Earth. Half of them are in Africa.

We have no choice but to live in multi ethnic nations. The 54 African nations are regarded as small and unviable apart from a few countries. How much more when they are broken up into 3,000 countries!

opamoses1:
This has been circulating for some time now. An Arabic media house did investigation and said it's nothing to do with France.

So who did they say is responsible? Those are clearly Europeans.

jaeyking:
I think Nigerians have alot on their hands already

No.

We’re not too busy to overlook this demonic racial insult.

What will somebody not see in this world?

They should send that picture to the francophone countries and air it on their TV channels daily for one month, so that the people will see the urgency of throwing EVERYTHING French, including the rotten French language they speak, into the stinking dustbin of history where they belong, and kick every last one of them out of their countries.

sucemt:
If he were still in Africa, he wouldn't have had the enabling environment to invent, patent and mass-produce even spoon or nail or pin or needle. Africans are brilliant, the imposed colonial structure holds us from being productive.

We have numerous inventions in Nigeria, and many sit in research institutes and universities as we speak, and they are patented.

It is the mass production part that you could be right about. But I reckon private sector capital is insufficient as of now to leverage such innovations. This could change in the future with continued economic expansion.

Astar007:
Na why oyibo say blacks are animals....

Blacks said the same about oyibo when Putin woke up one day and began raining bombs on his next door neighbour, slaughtering thousands of his oyibo brothers.

tollyboy5:
Mobile was built on the technology of telephone system. Martins cooper deserves the credit.

Really?

Cars were built on the technology of mining, iron smelting and mathematics, which were African inventions, so Africans deserve the credit for cars, aircraft, and every metallic invention.

While you are at it, Africans invented writing, so everything written today, from Shakespeare to physics textbooks, is an African achievement.

If you require evidence of these, and other pivotal ancient African inventions, I’ll gladly post them.

tollyboy5:
Martins cooper contributed to the now mobile phone but Alexander Graham Bell from 1800s invested the telephone and deserves all the credit. The rest were just contributors.

Garbage.

That’s like saying the person who invented the canoe takes all the credit for sea vessels and submarines in operation today.

tollyboy5:
Which kin lie bedis nau.

Where you put Alexander Graham Bell

Mobile phone in 1867?

Forum of illiterates.

MrEverest:
Alex Ottih has proven that bad governance must not be tolerated. One very noticeable feature in most of the roads constructed by Alex Otti is that they all have covered drains, well marked and with street lights!

God will continue to bless great and visionary men like Alex Ottih, Peter Obi, Donald Duke etc.

Meanwhile, are you sure this is Ngwa road?

Very good news.

ANY GOVERNOR THAT DARES TO BUILD A ROAD TODAY WITHOUT COVERING THE GUTTER AND BUILDING SIDEWALKS FOR PEDESTRIANS ALONG THAT ROAD, MUST BE STONED TO DEATH, TOGETHER WITH THE CONTRACTORS.

Jideji:
Why is he not popular

Because the racist western media who control the news, suppress this news, because he is a black man.

They want you to keep believing the lie that white people invented everything you see around you.

nairalanda1:
All in all, Nzeogwu had no business taking part in or organizing a coup. Same goes for the other 5 majors.

Yes, the first republic government was a mess, and the Prime Minister, despite being not corrupt, was somehow not capable of reining it in. But the coup of Jan 15 1966 did not make things better, instead it unleashed a tsunami that lasted 4 years and took millions of lives...and we are still dealing with the after effects today.

If you are pissed with the government, resign, and join a party or form one. If Nzeogwu had done that, millions dead now would have been alive.

Maybe Nzeogwu was not a psycopath, and yes, he was a very patriotic Nigerian, and acted in what he thought was the best interest of Nigeria, but even then, his action, and the actions of the others, was foolish.

And yes, God knows, I am not happy with the mess we have had in leadership in this country.

Oh please forget this nonsense.

Any person who storms elected civilian leaders’ houses to shoot them is a SICK, EVIL, DEMENTED BEAST AND PSYCHOPATH.

These bastards started all the problems we have today in Nigeria.

The reason they shot them instead of arresting and trying them in court was because they had no evidence of all the corruption they were claiming was taking place. It was just narcissistic Igbos unable to accept non Igbo leaders at the helm. Simple and short.

Your so called patriot Nzeogwu did not see any corrupt IGBO leaders worth shooting since Igbo leaders were all angels.

Only Yoruba and Hausa leaders were corrupt.

Abeg make we hear something.

XAUBulls:
This is asinine and clearly defamatory. You will not get off the hook if you are charged to any court of law for your thoughtless post.

It is time for them to start getting picked up and questioned for these remarks, or they shut down Nairaland.

This cannot continue.

richie240:
Be careful of what you wish for brah.
The problem at hand Is by far greater than obi a million times.

These same obidients will in a jiffy metamorphise to 'the solutions' with a soludo ticket........and d madness continues since a fellow 'bloda' is on d ballot.

The problem is really not an obi or a soludo/umahi; it's their lawless and uncouth followers.

EXACTLY.

It’s these hateful, narcissistic, fascist Igbos behind these leaders that turn off other Nigerians.

Many non Igbos were going to vote for Obi, but their vicious attacks on Tinubu, calling him all sorts of names simply for contesting the election turned of millions of people.

Factoryfitted:
And who exactly is Soyinka? A demagogue who was given a Nobel prize just to be used to do what he is doing now? Some feather weight who likes to speak out of both sides of his mouth just to hear the sound of his voice? Next please.

If he truly has the balls he should call names. U cannot make frivolous statements like that and just expect to be taken at your word.

If it had been someone in the opposition who made half that statement all of you and your paid attack dogs would have been crying for the D$$ to call them in for questioning.

Animal. When he was speaking up for Igbos in the past, you people praised him.

Now he criticised you, and all of a sudden he is “a demagogue and featherweight only given a Nobel prize in order to be used.”

I mean, you people are WORTHLESS.

You are SCUM.

Collective narcissists.

A black son of Africa invented the MOBILE PHONE all of you use today, while assuming it was a white man who invented it.

The mobile phone is just ONE of numerous inventions by blacks, such as refrigerators, light bulbs, blood banks, flushing toilets, touch-tone telephones, automatic gear shifts, traffic lights, and many others, falsely attributed to white people.


Meet the Black Inventor Who Created the First Digital Cell Phone


JESSE EUGENE RUSSEL

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c5/1d/2c/c51d2ca20869b54720a223a0a047b98e.jpg

Many people attribute the invention of the smartphone to Europeans, but in fact, the first digital cell phone was invented by an African American man named Jesse Eugene Russell.

Russell was born on April 26, 1948, in Nashville, Tennessee. His family lived in a very poor and socially deprived part of Nashville. Fortunately, he got the opportunity to attend a summer education program at Fisk University and he did exceptional. Then, he moved on to study electrical engineering at Tennesse State University. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE). In 1973, Russell went further in his academic achievements to obtain a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) from Standford University.

While Russell was working as an engineer at AT&T-Bell Laboratories in 1988, he created the concept for the wireless digital phone and communication. At the time, mobile devices were mainly used in vehicles, so Russell designed a cell phone that could transmit signals between handsets and cell phone towers. Doing so would make mobile phones more handy and also more affordable. In a statement, Russell once said, "Most of the time people are not in their cars. I said, 'Well that seems like an easy problem to solve, right? Why don't we just take the phones out of the car and put them on the people.'"

Russell is responsible for other innovations in the field of wireless communications systems. He also created a company based in New Jersey called incNETWORKS Inc, a broadband wireless communication system that focuses on 4G broadband wireless communications technologies, networks and services.

There's nothing like “black” or “white” man.
You simply say an African or African American man.

What y'all erroneously call “white” is actually Caucasian or “Pink”.

chubinwa:
Your hatred for the Igbos will consume you soonest. While the igbos continue to excell, you will continue hate them until you go into extinction. You are worthless to the an average Igbo man. You will never measure up to even the struggling igboman. Ewu!!

Your hatred for Nigerians will consume you sooner than soonest. While Nigeria will continue to excel, you will continue to hate them till you go into extinction. You are worthless to every Nigerian, and invaders of their lands in your unwanted millions. You would surely starve in your millions if we decided to drive you all back to your wretched homeland you fled from.

We want you GONE, but you insist on stealing our territory while you go, which is why you are stuck. You will never measure up to even struggling TRUE Nigerians as patriots, and they will lead us before any of you demonic entities do. Spit.

foleskay:
Till then. We ought to be seeing pictures of Tinubu signing MOUs with these world leaders. Na Long boring speeches and handshakes we've been seeing since last week. Won't be surprised if there s no meaningful outcome in all these handshakes

Sign MOU at G20 summit?

Only on Nairaland can somebody write something so foolish.

Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing on this forum.

Nigeria in the next 5 years could be a very different place, positively, by the way I'm seeing this man operating.

He knows his job.

India’s $14-billion investment commitments to Nigeria: ‘Ready to give you the best returns,’ says President Bola Tinubu

07 Sep 2023

Sounak Mukhopadhyay

Mint Media (India)

In a significant stride towards economic cooperation, Nigeria has obtained investment commitments totalling nearly $14 billion from various Indian companies and the Indian government. The Nigerian President Bola Tinubu aims to spur development in key sectors like steel, petrochemicals, power generation, and defence through these partnerships.

Indian heavyweights like Jindal Steel and Power have made significant investment commitments in Nigeria. The company plans to inject $3 billion into Nigeria's steel industry, diversifying the West African nation's reliance on oil production. Indorama Corp, another Indian firm, intends to pour an additional $8 billion into expanding its existing petrochemical facility in Nigeria.

Skipperseil Ltd and Bharti Enterprises have each pledged to invest $1.6 billion in Nigeria over the next four years. The funds will be primarily channelled into constructing power generation plants to strengthen Nigeria's energy infrastructure. Bharti Enterprises will also contribute $700 million towards undisclosed projects in Nigeria.

In a mutually-beneficial agreement, the Nigerian government has given the nod to a $1 billion partnership with the Indian government. This deal is designed to bolster the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria, with the goal of achieving 40% self-sufficiency in the manufacturing and production of defence equipment within a three-year time frame.

These commitments were formalised under the Nigeria-India presidential roundtable and conference, which aims to drive global capital into Nigerian infrastructure projects. President Tinubu, who is slated to attend the G20 summit in New Delhi later this week, hosted these talks. His attendance at the summit follows an invitation from India, the current holder of the rotating presidency of the G20 bloc.

Tinubu expressed optimism for potential investors, stating that Nigeria offers unparalleled returns on investments. The West African country aims to focus on investment-led growth, moving away from borrowing to finance its infrastructure and job creation needs.

"We are ready to give you the best returns for investment possible, there's nowhere else like our country," Reuters quoted Tinubu as stating.

Tinubu, once he returns home, should just focus on dealing with insecurity issues to make these things just go smoothly.

We cannot afford to let insecurity block our road to advancement as a nation.

If he has to triple the size of the police and army, do it!

ican2020:
That’s the news we want to hear and the other news of getting passport quickly is welcome development

I never heard of the passport one.

Which one be dat?

bigdawg7:
Tinubu just ugly anyhow

How is he ugly?

Stupid idiot.

I'm sure if his skin was yellow, you wouldn't say that.

Mentally colonised slave.

He's black and proud, so get lost.
