Very Nice @BuhariAirport.

NoChill:
You people are here arguing who speaks English best. English an imported language, it has gotten so bad that our people can no longer speak their indigenous languages anymore, they all want to be like the English man cos they believe the English men are better.

Fools, continue being foolish.

Why can't they (the English men) be competing on who speaks our indigenous languages better

You better not pray for someone like Bobi Wine in Nigeria..

The guy would be worst than Museveni.. Ugadan would prefer to retain Museveni than having another calamity called Bobi.

The guy is full of vengeance

Chinese Roots Lie in Africa, Research Says

By ROBERT LEE HOTZ

Los Angeles Times


Most of the population of modern China--one-fifth of all the people living today--owes its genetic origins to Africa, an international scientific team said today in research that undercuts any claim that modern humans may have originated independently in China.

In the search for human origins, in which political beliefs and pride of place can figure as prominently as fossil evidence, the genetic findings dramatically illustrate the intricate weave of prehistoric migrations and human evolution, the scientists said.

Published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study is the product of the Chinese Human Genome Diversity Project, a consortium of seven major research groups in the People’s Republic of China, and the Human Genetics Center at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. It was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

The group used the advanced tools of DNA analysis to create detailed genetic profiles of 28 of China’s official population groups, which comprise more than 90% of the country’s population...

“Populations from East Asia always derived from a single lineage, indicating the single origins of those populations,” the researchers said. “It is now probably safe to conclude that modern humans originating in Africa constitute the majority of the current gene pool in East Asia,” they said.

I couldn't have said it better. Touché. And I appreciate your pointing out the out-of-Africa theory, which I misrepresented as fact.

I've seen many similar propositions on this forum, seeking to rewrite other peoples history. Once you get past the arrogance of it, you quickly find the evidence is reeling in superficiality.
I've seen so called Igbo scholars favouring a Jewish origin of the Igbos based on little more than shared similarities in word spellings, but not in meaning or enunciation. That or a new spin to existing literature, notably Equiano Olaudah's book, or the bible .

The glaring error is not so apparent, it seems. Whilst they admit that ancient peoples of Eurasia have had aeons to evolve into their current phenotype, they think the peoples of Africa have remained exactly the same throughout this time, and therefore compare modern day non-African populations to modern day Africans. What a laugh.

There is more to human origin than linguistic similarity, and even if languages are similar, it does not prove commonality or genetic similarity. But because gene level investigations are few and far between in these parts, we will continue to deal with people like the OP who will vehemently push social media theories as incontrovertible evidence.

Ancient Proto Japanese were Negroes of course, even up to Korea, and China, but linking them up to Nigeria is what we don't have reliable information yet.

You could be bill gates himself , who can tell , anonymity in cyberspace is God send, one can pretend to be anyone.

Nobody here is a fool

If anybody is worth his salt

1. He / she will let the quality of his / her posts do the talking
2. He / she won't spend the last decade on a forum among anonymous posters achieving god knows what.
3. He / she would have best spend the time in real world to publish own accredited / peer reviewed papers / literature on his / her domain rather than spend time in a blog forum quoting uncredited sources from blogs and websites and making jingoistic claims .

Even then i really appreciate the motive behind your effort and applaud it but your execution and premise is flawed .

I know you will abuse me , feel free to do so , but I am hopeful you will realise my intention is not to discourage you but to push you towards the right way.

I wish you success and God bless you

2010goingon:
Yes rightly said

Actually the African origin of modern humans, also called the "Out of Africa" theory, recent single-origin hypothesis, replacement hypothesis, or recent African origin model is yet to be proven beyond doubt or rather assumed to be true untill proven wrong.

Hence why it is called out of Africa " theory / hypothesis / model " .

Also recent discoveries have created more questions

https://www.google.com/amp/s/api.nationalgeographic.com/distribution/public/amp/news/2018/01/india-stone-tools-human-evolution-archaeology-science

And what the OP in his or her ignorance don't realise Africans in Paleolithic ( old stone age ) don't bear resemblance to modern day Africans , same way they don't bear resemblance to modern day Chinese Japanese Indians Europeans.

So entire credit for African civilization belongs to modern day Africans , same way entire credit for Indian , Chinese , Japanese , European etc civilization belongs to modern day Indians , Chinese , Japanese , Europeans etc respectively.

Trying to appropriate credit for achievements of other civilizations is a sign of inferiority complex on the part of few African individuals and a great insult to the various noteworthy African civilizations which nurtured and prospered in Africa.

It's like one is not happy with the achievements of one's own son , so he / she claimed another's son as own because they think he is better.

I am a African and I am proud of African civilizations which is rooted in Africa . Does a mother thrown away her child because some might think it to be inferior ?

Beremx:
okay thanks for this article.

Beremx:
you are right! I have been reading about this topic on google for the last 30mins. There’s no where it was mentioned that the Ainus are dark skinned except for a Nigerian who wrote his own history that the Ainus are black Africans. Their skin doesn’t look dark to me. They might be Africans but not dark skinned.

Vilgax:
you MIGHT be on to something...


but then again, it's most likely a pure coincidence.

firstly, although the words are similar, do they have similar meanings?

secondly, your time frame is slightly out of wack...
the "Out of Africa Theory" is speculated to have possibly started as early as 270,000 years ago and as late as 80,000 years ago. (Wikipedia);
whilst the major language family of West Africa (Niger-Congo language family) really took off during the Bantu Expansion which is believed to have taken place in at least two waves, between about 3,000 and 2,000 years ago.
so in essence, it's hard to rationalise that a language that wasn't really developed could be carried to the farthest frontier of the Asian continent and still have such similarities to the contemporary form of its parent language(s)...


thirdly, the fact that the Japanese language was developed in "relative" isolation has been widely debated.


in conclusion, you might be on to something...
but the criticism against your hypothesis is massively overwhelming.

mansakhalifa:
No! The Ainus were never dark-skinned.

mansakhalifa:
Lol... come on. Do those guys look 'black' or African to you??

They look like persons from the far North of Asia at best.

And FYI, sir the Ainu's are not related to the Japs I'm any way neither do they speak the same language- same way the Ryukyuans/Okinawans are not related to the Japanese. The Ainu's are a distinct ethnic group. Japanese as a language was forced on them same way we were made to learn how to speak in English several years ago.

Or why else do you think that the Japanese tried to get rid of their culture right after colonising their lands?

Did you know these?

And no, their origin lies to the very north of Asia
The Japanese are not ethnically homogeneous. Do not forget that too. There is a reason it is called an empire.

jmoore:
The Igbo and Japanese words you listed, you failed to give their interpretations in both languages.

owobokiri:
Don't Know about their origin, but what I know is that the Chinese are almost totally the same with Africans in terms of traditional cultural outlook. And this to me is the main reason they easily assimilate here, even in the African villages when they have serious jobs/work to do. The little differences you notice in the way they behave mostly came as a result of the cultural revolution. The Chinese treasure family connection like Africans, respect elders like Africans, maintain traditional stratification tthat recognizes the male child the same way we do, their culture conceeds to the man as the head of the family the same way traditional African families do. They like going back to their hometowns during the Chinese new year. Infact during the Chinese new year, their cities are as empty as say Eastern Nigeria cities during the Christmas or New year's celebrations..

In some places, when they have the ceremony for the dead, they will cook foods and keep sumptuous dishes outside during the night so that their dead ones will "come and eat" in the night! When you buy a new apartment, the elders from the village will come and do a particular dance and invoke the spirits for protection and you have to cook for them very sumptuous dishes, which everybody will eat and drink and the biggest dish cooked with a whole chicken, will then be left overnight at the center of the house for the spirits to "come and chop"! Together with apples and burning incense etc.. More like house warming/car warming in Nigeria.. They have many many traditional beleifs and practices that will make you think you are in Africa sometimes if you stay with them long time..

Don't mind him.

Some people don't know that the black race occupied the farthest part of the world before the whites came.
As far away India is from Africa we have pure black tribe living there.The sidi and the sentinels.

White indians are trying to occupy the land of the sentinels the way the Japanese occupied the land of the indigenous blacks and wiped out every trace of there history.

WELL PLAYED CHINA....

*SCENE 1 :*
The curtain opens: China becomes ill, enters a "crisis" and paralyzes its trade. The curtain closes.

*SCENE II.*
The curtain opens: The Chinese currency is devalued. They do not do anything. The curtain closes.

*SCENE III.*
The curtain opens:: Due to the lack of trade of companies from Europe and the USA that are based in China, their shares fall 40% of their value.

*SCENE IV.*
The curtain opens:: The world is ill, China buys 30% of the shares of companies in Europe and the US at a very low price. The curtain closes.

*SCENE V.*
The curtain opens: China has controlled the disease and owns companies in Europe and the US. And he decides that these companies stay in China and earn $ 20,000Billions. The curtain closes. How is the play called?

*SCENE VI:*
*Checkmate!*

*ReAmazing but true*

Two videos have passed between yesterday and today that convinced me of something I suspected, but had no basis. It was just my speculation. Now I am convinced that the coronavirus was purposely propagated by the Chinese themselves.

At first they were too prepared. Three weeks after the start of the roll, 14 days and a 12,000-bed hospitals were already under construction. And they really built them in two weeks.

Awesome.

Yesterday they announced that they had stopped the epidemic. They appear in videos celebrating, they announce that they even have a vaccine. How could they create it so quickly without having all the genetic information? Well if you are the owner of the formula it is not difficult at all.
And today I just saw a video that explains how Den Xiao Ping gave the west a half stick. Due to the coronavirus, the actions of Western companies in China fell dramatically. China I just hope, when they went down enough they bought them. Now the companies, Created by the USA and Europe in China with all the technology put in by these exchanges and their capital they passed into the hands of China, which is now rising with all that technological potential and will be able to set prices at will to sell everything they need to the West. How are you?

None of this could have happened by chance. China who cared that a few old men died? Fewer old-age pensions to pay, but the loot has been huge. And right now the West is financially defeated, in crisis and stunned by the disease. And without knowing what to do.

Masterfully diabolic. It had to be the communists. |

Adding to this, they are now the single largest owners of US treasury with 1.18 trillion holding surpassing Japan.

How come Russia & North Korea have Low or Zero incidence of Covid- 19 ?

Is it because they are staunch allies of China

On the other hand USA / South Korea / United Kingdom / France / Italy / Spain and Asia are severely hit

How come Wuhan is suddenly free from the deadly virus?

China says that the drastic initial measures that they took were very stern and Wuhan was locked down to contain the spread to other areas

Why Beijing was not hit ? Why only Wuhan?

It is interesting to ponder upon.. right ?

Well ..Wuhan is open for business now

Covid - 19 needs to be seen in the backdrop of the arm twisting of China by USA in the trade war

America and all the above mentioned countries are devastated financially

Soon American economy will collapse as planned by China.

China knows it CANNOT defeat America militarily as USA is at present THE MOST POWERFUL country in the world.

So use the virus...to cripple the economy and paralyse the nation and its Defense capabilities.

Trump was initially downplaying the effects of coronavirus, calling it a democratic hoax, blaming Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. He was basically unprepared. Weeks went by and he couldn't even assembly the world's best. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), previously having been decimated by Trump, was left napping and unprepared as well. Nobody had any game plan - one of the few times America operated from adhoc mode.

Lately President Trump has always been telling of how the GREAT American economy was improving on all fronts and jobs were coming back to the USA

The only way to destroy his vision of making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is to create an ECONOMIC HAVOC. But he forgot his vulnerability - wellness.

Wuhan's epidemic was a showcase.

At the peak of the virus epidemic....China's President Xi Jinping...just wore a simple RM1 facemask to visit those effected areas.

As President he should have been covered from head to toe, right?.....But that was not the case.

He was already injected to resist any harm from the virus....that means a cure was already in place before the virus was released

China's vision is to control the World ECONOMY by buying up stocks now from countries facing the brink of severe ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.....Later China will announce that their Medical Researchers have found a cure to destroy the virus

Now China shall OWN the stocks of All Western Alliances and these countries will soon be slave to their NEW MASTER.....

socialmediaman:
In 2018, 0.1% of persons died from Malaria. So tell me, how does this compare with up to 3% mortality rate for the corona virus? Malaria isn’t contagious by the way which means there’s no danger of infection to people around you or the physician treating you. So can you now stop spreading the misinformation?

So let’s say two 65 year olds with similar health conditions are admitted at the hospital and being treated at the onset (early stages) of malaria vs corona virus, which of the patients would you give a better chance at recovery?
