I think Amunike will be a good coach if given the chance…….But he needs all the help he can get……He needs freedom to select the best for each position……he needs financial support interms of his salaries and allowances being paid promptly…….He needs good pitches to play his brand of football which is the tiki taka…….He will do well because some of the current national team players where once under his tutolage……Ndidi Iheanacho Awoniyi Moffi Osimhen Chukwueze Nwakali Uzoho and co know Amunike very well.


By the way why bring in a Dundee called Peseiro when Amunike is here with us

Honestly. Real Dundee United!

If you think Nigeria is divided, you haven't seen what's going on in the USA.

That country is completely split down the middle. One half of the country hates the other half with such ferocity that the talk of civil war breaking out is commonplace.

And to make it worse, about 70% of the country's citizens are armed with guns and other deadly weapons.

Some private citizens even own tanks and armoured personnel carriers.

I fear for that nation in the months and years ahead.

Dawnofhope:
This is how Dictators starts , they try to chase away civilised countries before Climbing down on their citizens . We will see how we can Convince the south south and south east to make Shetima the president

Which civilized countries?

BRITAIN?

Brainwashed mumu.

That 'civilized' country holds trillions of dollars of looted African wealth, and slaughtered your ancestors and burnt down your cities to loot them.

THAT'S WHY THEY ARE RICH TODAY.

AND THAT IS SAVAGERY & BARBARISM, NOT 'CIVILIZATION'.

Many Nigerians and indeed Africans have been brainwashed to see their brown skin colour as a sign of racial inferiority.

In fact many of them regard so-called 'black' skin as 'ugly', and so-called 'white' skin as 'beautiful'.

They even tend to regard 'white' and 'yellow' races as more intelligent than 'black' and brown races.

But here is the reality which 99% of you were not taught in school, or by your parents.

There are no 'BLACK' people and there are no 'WHITE' people.

These are racist categorisations invented by 17th racist Europeans seeking to elevate themselves above the world following their military brigandage and rape of the Earth.

Racial skin tones range from light pink to dark brown.

Your brown skin colour is caused by the presence of the divine chemical known as MELANIN.

It protects your body from the sun rays of the world's hottest continent.

MELANIN, which gives your skin its colour, has no relation whatsoever to your mental attributes or capacities, anymore than the colour of your smartphone determines its features and utility.

Without that God-given MELANIN, you wouldn't actually be here today because your ancestors would have perished thousands of years ago in the African sun, of various skin diseases.

There is a reason so-called 'white' people, who lack MELANIN, never settled in West Africa in large numbers.

To see your beautiful brown skin colour as a mark of inferiority (because that was what the thieving colonizers taught you) is the worst possible insult you could issue to your Maker, in addition to it being a barbaric, superstitious falsehood invented by pink-skinned demons who falsely termed themselves 'white'.

Chew on that.

I personally think the black man still has serious deficiencies in running an organized society.

Why is fuel scarce?
Why are there food shortages?
Housing?
Weak institutions?

It still boils down to poor organizing skills of our people.

Atiku, Tinubu or Obi won't change nothing.

Its what it is.

PEABRAIN, go and study AFRICAN HISTORY.

Africa is the cradle of civilization.

If you knew even ONE TENTH of African history, and this continent's record of establishing functioning, prosperous societies that lasted THOUSANDS OF YEARS, while spreading civilization across the world, if you knew this, these nasty, demented words would not issue from your fingers.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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''.

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.

JaskanFactor:
The state of economy in all nations is set to whatever the elites want it to be, it has zero to do with the fictitious figure head finance ministers position, in the same way presidents and prime ministers have about as much power as taxi driver in determining government policy, they are all figure heads, actors. The elites decide policy and economy in their Freemason lodges not in government institutions.

So back to my point, then being the only reason they put black guy there then sacked in him in 2 weeks was to destroy the reputation of black people, and you seem to be falling for it.

Hence why i say many black people have been brainwashed into hating thier own race, cause they fall for all the lies of the enemies of black people. That is why for me fellow Nigerian doctor can treat me like animal in Europe cause he been programmed to look down on his own people.

Cause dont forget, Europe was founded by the Egyptians, who gave most places in Europe their names, those were black people.


But never ever forget that the people who get sexually aroused from being tied up and flogged are not more humane or more intelligent than those without barbarian pleasures, and that is why they need to keep destroying the reputation of non barbarians.

The sadest part of it is there are so many black people with your opinion, who as i have found often more dangerous than oyinbo racists. Black people who dont know thier history, those who dont know that the very word Hue man being refers to man whose skin has hue of color meaning dark skin person.

In my experience many of this types are yoruba people, they will kill thier mother if the white man asked them. As Yoruba man Europe, i run away anywhere i hear them speaking yourba, the biggest self haters of all self haters.

This is why Jamaicans who know they are the real Irish, hate Africans, they hate Africans simply cause of the Yoruba they come across. Extremely materialistic , black people hating shallow freaks.

So no need for you to speak of the black finance minster as non humane , he was in on the act, to damage the reoccupation of his own people. They are all actors. But the act has real consequences in shaping the opinion of uninformed people.

You spoilt your argument by making it ethnic. Igbo IPOB characters actually propagate the theory of 'black inferiority' more than anyone else. Nnamdi Kanu introduced them to it. The sickness of racial self hate is spread among all the ethnicities and requires a comprehensive approach to destroy it.

owobokiri:
Long post:

This idea of a centralized African government is fatally wrong and fraught with a lot of problems. In my view, it's too emotional to be productive. The continent is huge, diverse and the regions are at different levels of political growth. For a state to function effectively under such differences obviously demands a decentralized system of government across board and not a further concentration of power under one spot. Modern states have not failed in Africa. What failed is the fake nature of African states.

If you take a very close look at African conflicts over the years, you will notice that most wars fought in Africa over the last decades of post independence, were/are wars between different segments of different troubled state. For instance, the wars in Nigeria and Uganda, Angola, South Africa, Libya or Sudan and Sierra Leone, were wars that arose between groups contesting for dominant roles in these countries. These were wars that were fought because of the internal frictions emanating from the conflict of interests between different amalgamating units in these countries. Not wars fought between two countries. Infact, there are very few instances of military confrontations between African states but endless examples of intra national strifes exist. Why is this so?

These nations are fake but were cobbled together for the sake of furthering western colonial quest in Africa. At independence, the common bondage, bloodshed and suffering shared by Africans under slavery and colonialism, gave lots of black people the impression that we can easily work together in huge collective units, irrespective of the differences associated with ethnicities, culture etc. This encouraged an exotic definition of "Pan Africanism" that never materialized. It didn't work out well because it didn't take time before politically privileged groups within these countries tried imposing thier will over others. This led to resentments and clashes, in the process making these countries extremely vulnerable to foreign manipulations.

What we need to do is to start having some sort of "national conferences" on regional basis seriously supported by the African Union. By "national conference", I mean an honest gathering of member ethnic groups in that region to discuss on the kind of states they want., the nature of government they need, the groups that wish to join who and who based on geographical realities and cultural understanding existing already to form a union.., those that want to be alone based on size and culture,.. I think it's foundamentally important now to make sure that ethnic groups that become members of any given African country, did so out of their own volition. Forcing groups into these European colonies against their will, leads to situations where the emotional connection between the people and their country evaporates.

In West Africa, this might lead to more fragmentations because of unhealthy relationships between different ethnic groups post independence. But in East and Southern Africa, the opposite might be the case, because at this moment, most East Africans actually want closer union with each other. Swahili as a common language has helped to cement things..
With "regions" , I mean the traditional sub regions in the continent: East, West, Central, Southern and North Africa..

Africa needs no more than 3 to 5 nations instead of 54, to become a strong, independent continent. West Africans have no choice but to adopt the East African mindset of unification. Nigeria alone has over 400 language groups. If these groupings are too stupid to understand that their strength lies in numbers and unity, rather than ethnic hate, balkanisation and splintering, they may end up getting recolonised and enslaved by the west, even as the rest of Africa moves forward.
