Your higher self, the one with the console, so he isn't trapped in the matrix? What if that realization is a hoax? What if that so called admin is also living in another loop of simulation? What actually is real and not real? What do you call reality?

Trying to delve into that route will spin your mortal mind cause that tool is very limiting. You made no sense in all that overwhelming epistle, you're yet to be unplugged my dear and please, I'd advice you stay mute and study more.

Coming here to spew pseudoscience bullshit, garnished with numerous misuse of scientific terms doesn't make you sound smart.

Billyonaire walked that path and it never ended well for him. Too much Hollywood isn't good sometimes, especially when you forsake reality to pursue fantasy. Trust me, i can write a better fantasy with intriguing theories. But to what gain? NL popularity? Nah

You have a lot in common with billyonaire, if you are, then shame on you. Boredom is indeed a serious shit!

Look for another hobby man.

STFU, ignoramus.

OpenYourEyes1:
Isreal is racially diverse actually.

There are proven Jews in Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, India, Europe etc.

Bullshiit. Any racial diversity occurred after they had fled Jerusalem following the Roman invasion, and lived among other peoples. The original Israelites who lived in ancient Israel were a black people, most of whom fled into Africa after the fall of their kingdom. Why would they flee to Europe, in the same direction their invaders came from? Nobody ever does that.

Yeah, the ancient Israelites, who were blacks of course, were also cursed in Deuteronomy. I guess that is why Africa ended up in a mess.

“Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.” -Psalm 68:31

'Ethiopia' was the ancient name for all of Africa south of Egypt. This is a clear prophecy about future suffering on the then prosperous African continent. But our recovery is also prophesied.

Welcome back Oba Ewuare II.

I am of the opinion that those artifacts which were stolen by the British in 1897 or thereabout continue to be kept by the Britons in their museum, but share proceeds of the money they make from tourists with the Oba of Benin.

Reason:
We do not have effective maintenance culture generally in Nigeria. Imagine having those artifacts securely placed in their museums for centuries without theft, decays or negligence.

Which project(s) in Nigeria we have today transcends 1897?

Inferioriy Complex. ''Let them keep it because we do not have maintenance culture''. But we had ''maintenance culture'' before they found the artefacts and stole them, abi? Nonsense. Some of those artefacts were more than 500 years old at the time they were looted by the British in 1897. I wonder how we managed to ''maintain'' them so well for hundreds of years without Oyibo, Mr ''I need white man''. No wonder we have problems in this country. We give up without even trying. Colonialism has made us believe we are incapable of doing anything serious without foreign assistance.

It's really amazing to see how organized and advanced we were over 5,000 years ago.

Not many folks know about the great black African city of Kerma, capital of the Kerma Kingdom. Founded in 3000 BC, it is one of the oldest known established urban centres on earth. Its descendants became the great Kushites or Nubians, who defeated Roman forces in battles, conquered Egypt, and became great historical rivals of the Egyptian empire.

''Around 3000 BC, a cultural tradition began around Kerma. It was a large urban center that was built around a large adobe temple known as the Western Deffufa. As a capital city and location of royal burials, it sheds light on the complex social structure present in this society.''

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerma


Kerma Kingdom:

''The Kingdom of Kerma was located in what is today, Sudan. This kingdom has been regarded as the first Nubian state, and its capital, Kerma, is today an important archaeological site.''

https://media.nationalgeographic.org/assets/photos/106/682/50424075-c711-4a6c-bcbd-384fa8822890.jpg

''By 1750 BC, the kings of Kerma were powerful enough to organize the labor for monumental walls and structures of mud brick. They also had rich tombs with possessions for the afterlife .... George Reisner excavated sites at Kerma and found large tombs and palace-like structures. The structures, named (Deffufa), alluded to the early stability in the region.''

Statues of pharaohs of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt (Black Pharaohs) discovered near Kerma

In 2003, archaeologist Charles Bonnet heading a team of Swiss archaeologists excavating near Kerma discovered a cache of monumental black granite statues of the Pharaohs of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt now exposed in the Kerma Museum. Among the sculptures were ones belonging to the dynasty's last two pharaohs, Taharqa and Tanoutamon, whose statues are described as "masterpieces that rank among the greatest in art history."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerma_culture

https://www.crystalinks.com/piyenubia.jpg

''Kerma was occupied continuously from 2,500 BCE until 1,500 BCE dating it to much the same time period as the Old and the Middle Kingdoms in Egypt. This agricultural and urban state controlled the area from the first to the fourth cataract and there is evidence they were an important trading power with an agricultural hinterland supporting an urban elite.''

Kerma City:

''Clearly this was a sophisticated urban center, with the wealth and strength to threaten the Egyptian Pharaonic power. Indeed some have suggested that perhaps the preceding communities known as Pre-Kerma (that emerged in the 4th Millennium BCE) had an influence on the development of Egyptian culture, suggesting that the early cultural influence and innovation came from the south and travelled north with the current on the Nile.''

Kerma’s Monuments

The Western Deffufa


One of the types of monumental work believed to have been built during this time is called the deffufa. The word ‘deffufa’ is either derived from the Nubian term for a mud-brick building or from the Arabic word ‘daffa’, meaning ‘mass’ or ‘pile’. There are three known deffufas, i.e. the western deffufa, the eastern deffufa, and a third lesser known deffufa.

''The western deffufa is the best preserved of the three. Like the other two deffufas, the walls of the western deffufa are constructed of mudbricks. In the scorching heat, these walls help to cool the interior of the structure. The western deffufa has been measured to be 18 m (59.06 ft.) in height, and covers an area of about 1400 square meters (15069 sq. ft.) There are columned chambers connected by a network of passageways in this three store structure. The decorations and paintings on the interior walls have also been preserved, and a shrine on the roof of the building has been discovered. Whilst the western deffufa is almost certainly connected to the religious life of the people of Kerma, its precise function is still uncertain.''

''At one point, Kerma came very close to conquering Egypt. Egypt suffered a serious defeat at the hands of the Kushites. According to Davies, head of the joint British Museum and Egyptian archaeological team, the attack was so devastating that if the Kerma forces chose to stay and occupy Egypt, they might have eliminated it for good and brought the great nation to extinction.''

''Classic Kerma is when the Kingdom of Kerma experienced its golden age. It was during this period that its rulers successfully took control of Egyptian fortresses and gold mines in the Second cataract. The strength and importance of this kingdom may also be seen in the alliance that was proposed to them by the Hyksos in Lower Egypt around 1580 BC. Furthermore, monumental constructions were undertaken during this time to reflect the might of the kingdom.''

You are an animal. How many schools have you personally visited in the last year ''in the whole of Nigeria''? I bet the answer is zero. Yet you ''know''. Stupid asswipe.

ChiefAzubuike:
Oh I see. Good to know you still remember the story your father told you as a 3 year old.

I can name every member of that team and instruct you on how they each played, from Odebgami to Adokiye. From Muda Lawal to goalkeeper Emmanuel Okala. Have you ever heard of Okey Isima? Small pikin.

ChiefAzubuike:
Lol, when i start to dey watch ball I no sure say your mama don start her menstruation.

Spain 1982. I watched it live and direct . Not from my TV set, but live from Spain.

Goat. I watched Godwin Odiye's own goal that messed up our world cup qualifier for the 1978 World Cup. Dem don born you that time? Or you were still sucking breast?

wagazala:
No mind the indomie generation kids what do they know beyond Messi or Ronaldo?

My brother can you imagine these small children of yesterday insulting Jay Jay Okocha? I just felt like slapping the guy.

ChiefAzubuike:
He was good no doubt . But the problem with his game is that it lacked output. His team can be losing yet you'll still be seeing him joggling ball dancing unnecessary samba. He hardly score goals , he hardly assist. His game lacked work rate and output.

Football is not all about dancing samba and awilo.

Oh shut up... You know nothing about his games. Just feeding on stereotypes. He scored NUMEROUS GOALS, with MULTIPLE ASSISTS. Go on Youtube and learn about Jay Jay Okocha. Small pikin talking rubbish.

Chrismentor3:
Please who is okocha?

He's the KING OF MAGIC FOOTBALL.

And THOUSANDS of Youtube commenters from across the world agree.

Nasafina:
Where are our graduates

We produce graduates in civil engineering, architecture, etc yet we employ the whites to do the job

So pathetic

Honestly, we have issues. Sometimes I wonder if we Africans are under a spell or curse that makes us behave like this. The Chinese and Indians would never allow a foreign firm to design this in their countries until they have exhausted all possibilities for indigenous production. Only THEN will they consider foreigners. In our case we go straight to the foreigners.

computergeek:
Good project but why can't Nigerian architects, Nigerian engineers and a Nigerian Construction company handle this project? Is it that there are none good enough or experienced enough to handle this project, or just that it's generally accepted that only foreigners can do such in third-world countries?

Mental slavery.

My thoughts exactly.

TedExNairaland:
I don't see u telling demole all these, when posting pictures of osun or ileke, when posting pictures of Ibadan...

Funny enough, i have no problem with ur submissions. but making it an eastern problem then going ahead to make unrealistic comparison with western countries when ur backyard is Ibadan and Abeokuta also need same attention or advise is where you sold ursef out. Stay coded or Bleep out of this thread.

You have no clue what part of the country I come from. YOU made it an ''eastern problem''. Because you are an ethnic bigot you automatically assume that criticism levelled against your state govt must come from someone from a different ethnic group, who hates your people. Get rid of your sickness, cos that's what it is. And no I haven't posted images from Ibadan or Ogun state or Osun state, in my entire time on this forum, and if I did, there would be no open gutters and sandy streets in the display.

TedExNairaland:
Go and tell ambode and amosun to build for Lagos and ogun too. This thread will not defend Rocha's or any politician, But please I don't need any negativity here. U have made ur point and it has been noted and thanks for that. If you have any positive thing to contribute to this thread, you are welcome.


#Lagos and Ogun need side walkways and drainages too

I look at issues as a Nigerian and not as an ethnic bigot like you. And you WILL get a lot of ''negativity' if you post SUBSTANDARD RUBBISH here, hoping it will ''impress'' people here. Our standards are higher than you seem to think. You can create an ''Igbo forum'' where you can pat yourselves on the back for substandard projects. On Nairaland, the standards are higher. Here's a word of advice. If you see a newly built road in your state that has no sidewalks or covered drains, refuse to post it here as ''development''. That will save you the embarrassment of hearing from the likes of myself, while serving to inform your leaders that they should build infrastructure to higher standards than they currently do.

TedExNairaland:
Because we know this is Nigeria... U are in America, an organised and sane society. Come to Nigeria and complain to ambode. You can be the change u want.

I am not in America. And you do NOT have to be in America to know that you must build a road with sidewalks and covered drains. Little Jamaica that I visited a few years back, if you go there, you will not see a single open gutter on any street. Every street has sidewalks, even in the poorest areas of Kingston and other cities. You will not see a single grain of sand on the streets. Jamaica is not a rich country. I think they export bauxite and maybe bananas, and that's it.

TedExNairaland:
I have once suggested, its high time we had a road standard bill, which will stipulate design, the size, height, quality and materials for construction. It should also include side walkways, depth and width of underground drainage, underground electrification, road and traffic accessories like street lights, security cameras, trees and all.

So calm down, we know all these things, but our leaders are just below the intelligence belt, when it comes to governance and construction. Unfortunately, we can do less. Don't forget, this is Nigeria.

Wrong attitude. When you ''calm down'', nothing gets done. And our kids continue to breathe in gutter fumes, and walk along dangerous dirt paths along the road. It's not even about the leaders' intelligence per se. They know what needs to be done, but because the citizens are ''calmed down'' and accept their substandard rubbish, we see no improvement.

TedExNairaland:
Why not show me a picture of a place in Lagos looking like this? And why use a foreign picture and not Lagos picture, or are u not proud of UE Lagos again?

Please don't shake this table. I am not ready for it. But if u insist, I will deploy my arsenal. I'm well travelled and i know what the different regions of Nigeria look like.

Why are you concerned about Lagos? They've gone a lot further than you have.

TedExNairaland:
But Seriously its a sad situation, but what can we do?

There has to be a NATIONAL STANDARD for all road construction. Any roads built in residential or commercial areas, which have open gutters and no sidewalks must be designated as roads that are STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Incomplete projects.

A citizen has the right to come out of his home and walk on a paved surface designated for pedestrians. It is not a luxury. It is a right. Our drains are supposed to be COVERED. You are not supposed to see any open gutters along your street or anywhere else. Apart from their unsightliness, they are dangerous to the health and well being of the people.

TedExNairaland:
You should have said that to fashola and ambode too. As a blind follower and promoter of developments in Lagos and Ogun state too.

I ALWAYS criticize roads and streets built without sidewalks, WHEREVER they are displayed. The Lagos people on NL have the GOOD SENSE not to post primitive roads with no sidewalks. I've never seen any main road built by a Lagos govt without sidewalks and covered drains for the past ten years. The eastern states still continue this primitive road building practice. Until you BLOCK HEADS learn that THIS is how a street should look in a civilized society, you will keep getting ridiculed, as you well deserve.

https://nacto.org/wp-content/themes/sink_nacto/views/design-guides/retrofit/urban-street-design-guide/images/sidewalks/carousel//retail-sidewalk.jpg

As u can see, we are not complaining ...thanks.

You are not complaining because you don't know any better, and you don't know your rights.

So if I want to walk along this road, where do I do it?

Many of our leaders are just plain dumb and stupid. Their followers are just as ignorant for the most part, which is why the leaders get away with building this primitive garbage. In their stupid minds, roads are only meant for cars. Pedestrians are not citizens of Nigeria. They can walk on the narrow sandy path, or inside the open gutter, for all our 'leaders' care. Yet these same leaders travel to Europe and America every day, and see how things are done. Useless fools.

TedExNairaland:
This is Owerri

As usual, roads built with open drainage and no sidewalks for pedestrians.

GARBAGE.

He read the speech at the UK High commissioner's residence. How is it any of Nigeria's business if he used a lantern or whatever to read? He should take that up with the high commission staff. Or Britain cannot afford a standby generator there, with their trillion dollar annual budget? Rubbish. Abeg make we hear something jare..

Fantastic. Henry Onyekuru is probably the most gifted young player in the world today.

nineone:
The fact that Nigeria is by far bigger than Ghana in size and even more bigger in population consequently having far more kings answers much of the question. That the prince visited the palace doesn't mean that the Akan has more respect or influence than any of the Nigerian kings in that meeting. Let's stop being petty

Good talk. Childish and petty.

Xander85:
I'm afraid i'll have to agree with you!

Traditional rulership in Nigeria has been reduced to nothing but a joke and a parody of what it used to be!

Imagine so called first-class traditional rulers rushing to Abuja for a photo-op with the heir to the English throne! Now if it had been the Queen herself, i would have understood. But Prince Charles!?

Charles is more or less the defacto king of England now, as heir to the throne, given their queen's age and limited travel etc.

Also, his advanced age makes him worthy of respect even by kings, and so it isn't really a big deal. He's virtually a king without the actual title.

Nnamdi Kanu is in Jerusalem chopping life while his followers are here crying Biafra.

This life ehn..?..
