Precolonial text talking about Lagos:

Stoplying:
Eyewitness writen precolonial text stating clearly that Lagos belongs to Benin:

"Captain Horseley called it Eco, and that is how the yebous refer to it; but it is not their land: it belongs to Benin, whom have named it Korame, you can recognise the Curamo from older Portuguese reports, just like Eko represents the Ichoo from Holland Hydrographs. Long ago Korame was linked to its metropolis by a very narrow piece of land contained between the great Laguna and the sea; but it has been a while since the Yebous have seazed that very narrow piece of land of which the eastern extremity was invaded by ouyo pirates; and Karamé remained isolated at the extremity of the great Laguna, while it continues to receive from Benin it's governor or political chief."

Conclusion: Lagos and its environs were part of Benin.

I am not interested in debating things which have already been proven. Also I am not interested in talking to people whom have been harrassing me. (I also want to add that I am actually the only person whom has commented here who actually speaks french and that I am the person who posted the french caption and the book from which it is to nairaland. Some delusional people who don't speak a word of frecnh were trying to "debate" me on the translation of the text several months ago. Fools can only fool other fools.)

Precolonial map of Africa

I don't like to discuss with brainless fanatics. I gain nothing from such discussions.
A prerequisite to discuss with me is to abide by logic.

ebufa:
Invest in Awoyaya or yakoyo! I think not! somebody may wake up one day and decide some people are not Indigenes nor 1st class Nigerians! Keep your Lagos in all of its glory! we will stick to our Biafra!

Mate, your Biafra starts and ends in Cameroon.
And Lagos is not yours to dash.

Also, idiotissimo, Russia is ending the grain deal with Ukraine, that means no grain will be departing Ukrain as from Tuesday.

femisplash:
A little research would help your ignorance. Ukraine is a top 5 world's biggest grain exporter.

slowpoke, provide evidence freeken fool.
So let me get this: Ukrainian grain is so important to Africa that it is only now during the war that there is plan to build facilities for that grain to be distributed into Africa?
Yet before the war, that grain is supposed to have been so important for us ?

You are a very dumb person

femisplash:
Mr.clown, before the Benin sets a foot on Lagos soil, the Portugese had been trading with the indigenes decade earlier. Does it translates to Lagos being a Portugese territory?

Brainless dumb idiot, I provided proof for my claims.
Where is proof for your claims? I guess you are so dumb that you don't even understand the concept of proving your claims.

For your info, the Portuguese were the guys who made the first maps of the region and they wrote Benin all over Lagos on their maps..

Europeans even made notes and wrote books in which they clearly claim that Lagos was part of Benin at the time of their visit.

I have literally shown you some Precolonial maps of the region, but you are not sufficiently intelligent to read them. All you know is how to insult people.
Spend less time insulting and more time improving your stupid brain.

femisplash:
Are you an illiterate?, Ukraine accounts for a major export of world's grain. The rise in price of bread flour & wheat was an aftermath of the war in Ukraine.

Here you go again with insults. Did I insult you ?
Look, you read too much propaganda, Russia has much more grain than Ukraine. Ukrainian grain is only important for the EU market because of their proximity with the EU. All the new talk of it being important for global food market is nothing but war propaganda.

That claim (of Ukrainian grain being important for global food market) wasn't made before the war, only after the war started. But given that you are a gullible fool, you believe all you read

To those who want to rewrite history, know that hundreds of years ago, people who could write were already visiting the region, they wrote notes and made maps, those are still available for consultation. You can't rewrite them.

An other Precolonial map of Africa below. Locate the kingdom of Benin on it.

femisplash:
Your history teacher must be really daft. The majority constituencies that made up of today's Lagos were once under the administration of western region.

It is strange that you needed to start with insults.
Did I insult you ?
1. The claim which you are making can only be verified in a dated map.
2. Why stop at colonial era, we can go further into history: Lagos was part of Benin kingdom

Ukrainian agricultural products are of very bad quality, do not buy them, do not consume them, they are not good for your health.

femisplash:
If you think Lagos would miss your 2by2, think again. There's a reason SE Governors came to Lagos to beg Sanwo Olu.

Are you talking to me ?
Could you specify who you are talking to ?

7lives:
Lagos and SW is open for business.

Why are you bringing SW into the discussion? Nobody cares about SW ! People only care about Lagos which wasn't part of South west until recently when banangida changed that.

7lives:
Lagos is interested in big business like this, Lagos is not interested in those who will pay 5k tax and claim they develop Lagos.

What in hell are you talking about ? I absolutely do not understand what you just said.
By the way, Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries on earth and they hate black people in Ukraine.

7lives:
Private business of LASG is non of your business.

Why is it none of my business?

AVECDEO:
Nigeria is non-aligned and will do business with either countries.

Their war their business. Nothing concern Nigeria.

Employing Ukrainian companies at this moment in time is just like doing charity. All their qualified manpower are busy fighting a war. Don't expect them to do a good job. If anything Ukraine should be giving contracts to Nigerians to build stuff in Ukraine.

There is no need for Ukrain, we have a big world, why Ukraine ?

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Captured westerners from Ivano-Frankivsk near the 4th brigade of the LPR after the battles near Kleshcheevka.

Which side captured them ?

Gbadebo19:
The names of the American schoolchildren were:
1.Derek Liu
2. Alexander Wang
3. Jeff Lin
4. Eric Shen
5. Alex Zhao

So, tell us what happened to the Alexander, Jeff, Eric and Alex in their names.
These are schoolchildren who have their first names (name of the children) as English names while their surnames were chinese.
What does that tell you?
As if Rotimi Amaechi is a Yoruba person. Partisan journalism will not kill you. Better say Amen.

So you believe those American kids are not Chinese ?
I don't understand the point which you are trying to make here.

Badassniggga:
Unless we've previously had some beef here before today, I see no reason why this response here is necessary. You can always make your point politely without sounding aggressive.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be agressif.

dvkot:
and Europe has reduced itself to the vassal state of usa

While he pasted the EU claim of Russia becoming a Chinese vassal, he didn't realise that the EU which is a USA vassal was saying that from a position of white supremacy. Basically the EU is saying Russia should be ashamed that it is dependent on a non white nation while it would be better to be a vassal to the USA which is a white nation.

Also in reality, Russia is not a vassal to anybody, they are allies with China which is not a white nation, that is the bone of contention of white supremacists in the eu.

This guy ^^^ is really yesterday's propaganda.
He keeps using the words of others, I can't count how many times I've heard the sentences he says, the same words in the same order.
If you are going to do propaganda, then at least don't be lazy, write your own sentences, don't do copy and paste. Whomever (nafo ?) is paying @donjazzet is really being cheated, @donjazzet is too lazy.

Chinese culture is very conducive for education.
The Chinese students are well behaved and crave for knowledge. Having a class full with children from the Chinese culture is the dream of every maths teacher.

Badassniggga:
I don't see any American here

Funny stuff . normally Asians are smarter and more intelligent than Europeans/Americans.

I guess you yourself are not very smart.
Let me teach you this small thing: intelligence has nothing to do with race.
These are children by the way, what matters here is the culture of hardwork which the Chinese are born into.

But you are free to show your lack of education and your racist classifications.

STRI1:
Chechnya and Dagestan are autonomous region of Russia with 100% Muslim population

What do you mean by "autonomous" ?

Babanla2356:
Hello everyone, I am a Nigerian who was studying in Ukraine before the war broke out. I left Nigeria on the 5th of January 2022 and I applied for my temporary residence permit (povidska) in Ukraine before the war started in which the immigration authority gave me a proof that I applied. So after the invasion I left Ukraine and headed to Germany when I arrived in Germany I contacted the immigration authority and tell them about my case that I am a Nigerian national studying in Ukraine I submitted all the Ukrainian documents I have with me and applied for a residence permit after a month I got a response from them that my application has been accepted and I should come to their office, when I got there I was issued a fictional certificate (Fiktionbeschenigung) which was only valid for 6 months. After then the district started paying for my house rents, health insurance, enrolled me in a language school and I was receiving social benefits.
A month before my fictional certificate expires I received a letter from the foreign authority that I should go back to Nigeria that longer protection is only for Ukrainian citizens that Nigeria is a safe country. I told them that I would like to continue my studies in Germany and I send them the paperworks of the language school I’m currently attending and they still insisted that is not a proof not to go back to Nigeria and they rejected my residence permit application, they stopped all the social benefits I was receiving and they gave me a month to appeal the decision at the court which I did. Learning the language was so easy for me because I attend the school everyday and I will get my B1 certificate this July and I also have an apprenticeship position right now as a Plant mechanic for heating and plumbing and I have received the apprenticeship contract. I sent the contract to the foreign authority they still said no that I have to return to Nigeria and I apply for an apprenticeship visa in Nigeria but the case is still at the court but I don’t know when the court is gonna decide because it’s getting late, the apprenticeship starts in August. I wanna ask if there is anyone that has been in this situation before or any Nigerians here living in Germany that know how the system works that can advice me on what to do.

Please move it to Front page
@lalasticlala @Seun @justwise

Hypothetically, I believe that if you claimed you were LGBTQ and your life were threatened in Nigeria because of your gender confusion, then they will have to give you refugee status.
What is trans: basically a man who claims to be a woman or a woman who claims to be a man.

Kingsnairaland:
Quantum technology is a class of technology that works by using the principles of quantum mechanics (the physics of sub-atomic particles), including quantum entanglement and quantum superposition.

Simply put super advanced techniques which is ahead of others probably in terms of military development.

I hate quantum mechanics and I was kind of hoping Einstein were right when he claimed it shouldn't be taken seriously. (Actually he said it was the result of a refusal to understand physics)

dvkot:
exactly! Putin is too calm to be playing this western games several times in this war Ukraine has crossed their red lines, for example Ukraine send a drone to Kremlin and putin did nothing, imagine iran sending a drone to White house and USA doing nothing about it

"it is when you get hit that you have to remain calm" -Cus D'Amato.

Watcharena:
yes

Thanks, for the first time I have actually learnt something from someone on nairaland.

Watcharena:
Quantum technology is a field of physics and engineering, encompassing technologies that rely on the properties of quantum mechanics, especially quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, and quantum tunneling




As seen online

Do you mean applications of quantum physics ?
Poor Albert Einstein who never believed in quantum physics...

Vl3ly:
Putin: we achieve our goals - this is very important

The President argued that 10 years ago it was difficult to imagine the development of quantum technologies in Russia and noted that the authorities set the tasks necessary for our country.

What does he mean by quantum technology?

Gbadebo19:
LGBTQ goes against the laws of nature - Yes, you are right.
But the day you begin to realize that the laws of nature are not the only existing laws is the day you begin to see reason.
Read about positivism, sociological school of thought, historical school of thought as well as the recent critical legal studies.

Stop brainwashing your self with pseudo-scientific "studies". In 2018 I went to a university colloq in which specialists of the field were exposing "gender theory", I a mathematician, I understood none of it and kept seeing contradictions within it, the lecture was supposed to be 2 hours, but I had to live after 40 minutes because it was total nonesense, I started having headaches.
