CAMEROONPRIDE: every stop dreaming with your ghana ..if ghana was a free country they would have intervened in Mali

Ancient Africans generally loved Gold!!!


These Ancient African cultures are dead in Africa though even though Ghana(the only country I believe) still has a lot of it.

Don't derail the thread, plz..
I am not! I am only putting it in context so we learn more and learn how to read the history of the region.

In the end I hope all would have learned more.

PhysicsQED: Kanem-Bornu? You've heard of it right?

The issue of whether they traded in gold is not so clear cut (different sources make different claims), but they were around as early as some of these other places we're talking about, and were also involved in Sahelian and North African trade.
Where is the gold today!!

There is still gold in Mali(3rd largest producer in Africa) Gold in Ghana 2nd largest producer in Africa...

Even Nubia which means Gold still has gold.



That is how I read history ladies and gentlemen. I need to be able to tie it to today to make it indisputable!


GIVE ME ANCIENT West Africa!!!!!!

Nigeria may be debatable but, Cameroon is CERTAINLY historically NOT a West African country!!!

Nayah: Nop, I don't think so, I'm from Cameroon and I'm sorry we're not like your description. Google Ruben Um Nyobe on the Net then we can discuss...
It is just a personal observation.

Nayah: LMAO you seem to like clashes...actually I disagree West Africa is just a location gathering many Kingdoms and culture, how come big Nigeria couldn't be part of this Great History?
In Ancient West Africa if you did not have gold you were useless...Considered a joke!!!

There is basically no Gold in Nigeria!

Nigeria OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blame French colonialism. When the French colonize you they take every ounce of dignity you have!!

ezeagu: That's not true, there's little gold interest in Nigeria.
Because, Nigeria historically lacked the essence of Ancient West African cultures!!!

ezeagu: Southeastern Nigeria has always been linked to West Africa, it geographically is in West Africa. Could you explain what you mean by little interest to ancient West Africans?
Ancient West Africans only cared about Gold Gold Gold!!!!!!!! shocked shocked shocked shocked
CultureRe: The Great Songhai Empire by SmoothCrim: 11:31pm On Jul 23, 2012
I will be honest with you and say I don't consider a lot Nigeria to be part of West Africa! Like India I would Consider Nigeria a Sub-Continent! In fact there are more people in Nigeria than all of West Africa combined!!!

Nayah: Unfortuneteky this people are being eaten by this Northern rebellion in Mali, I really like their simplicity, beauty and calm but they need to have a warrior mentality especially right now
That rebellion is dead! Now Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb is there trying to radicalize the historically moderate friendly Islam of Mali West Africa. You see the Islam in West Africa proper(not including Barbarian Northern Nigeria which has its Islamic roots outside of West Africa). Is generally peaceful, and abhors radicalism and other ills. That is why you won't find people in Mali as interested in joining Al Qaeda as you will in Northern Nigeria!!! In fact, this abhorrence of radical Islam is not only in West Africa proper but, the Maghreb region of North Africa(Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco etc etc. )
CultureRe: The Great Songhai Empire by SmoothCrim: 11:20pm On Jul 23, 2012
ezeagu: Gold had no value in southeastern Nigeria. SE Gold was bronze.
That is why that area is not historically part of ancient West Africa and would have been of little interest to ancient West Africans.


I think that area is where a new expansive migration started to take root and ultimately led to the Bantu Migration out of Cameroon. That is for another thread though.
