GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 grin grin grin grin

Okay I am done trolling on this gold issue... !! Most of it was serious though!!! cheesy grin grin

I believe to understand West Africa as it was you have to understand what Gold meant to its people historically. When you do that then you can understand the people on the periphery of West Africa!!!!.

PhysicsMHD: We know that that gold was traded for salt and other things that were rare in certain parts of Africa, but it doesn't change the fact that gold is not the "essence" of all African cultures, as I already explained earlier.
Not all but, those who had it looked down on those who did not. It was THE resource to have.

PhysicsQED: Some places thrived with gold and some places in Africa thrived with copper and variations on copper such as brass and bronze. It makes no sense to insist that a place should have been trading heavily in gold when they didn't have it significant amounts in their area. Anyway, copper was considered very important in ancient African cultures, so point made.
Not even 10 percent as important as GOLD GOLD GOLD!!!!

onila: as far as shes black, no problem

french man samuel eto married an Iviorian lady but still a national hero but not considered a sell out

as fas as shes black

These Presidents with white spouses are the shames of African leadership. Do you know how many beautiful black African chicks there are on this continent? If you want a foreigner, at least marry a African Carribean or African American. This is black continent. . . .put black skinned women in government house to represent our image and pride.

have u ever seen a white president with a black lady huh
You are a dumb racist Bakassi man!!! grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Onila, people can marry who they want! As long as they are happy who cares??


Many of them went to French schools and were surrounded by French women so, it is not shocking they married one!!!!

CAMEROONPRIDE: yup in Mali why you don't kick the french azz ...you are so free ...any west African except the smallest and poorest one can fix the problem in -72H but no one will do it because we all know that our masters are behind that and no one(leaders) want to go against their interests but i thought you said ghana is a free country
You think like a typical dumb Bakassi man!!!


grin grin grin grin grin


Go find out who funds Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb?? Europeans who they capture and get huge ransoms from!!!

Then ask yourself,

How did the problem in Mali come about??

NATO invaded Libya and the guns that were on the loose were used to help the Tuareg rebellion and overrun the North which gave the space for Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb to take over...

If NATO created it then, they should solve it! Why on earth would I want to die for NATO's interests(Libyan oil)!!

Are you crazy??
