AnYangu(安阳)was first called NingXinZhong(宁新中) in the records, and the name was changed after the Qin army conquered NingXinZhong .
Nigeria is Nigeria, there is no need to be anyone else.

As far as I know, Islam has brought an effective administrative system to northern Nigeria. And the culture itself is constantly changing, and people don't speak exactly the same language as their respective ancient ancestors. Doesn't it strike you as odd that you can embrace Christianity, which the Europeans imposed on Nigeria, but see Islam, which came with the merchants, as your enemy? The Abrahamic religions are not that different from each other, Christianity and Islam have a lot in common, you think they are totally different because of the one-sided propaganda in the media, the chaos in the Muslim countries today is a legacy of the colonial era, the country has no effective governance system, poverty and chaos afflict everyone, the problem is not Islam itself, Saudi Arabia and Iran, which were never colonised, or countries like Syria and Egypt, which have established effective systems of governance after the colonial era, are much better off. Unless foreigners step in, as in Syria, it is hard to get into chaos. Mexico, where Catholicism is widespread, is Mired in drug trafficking and warlords. But that has nothing to do with Catholicism, and everything to do with Mexican officials' incompetence. Nigeria is a multicultural country. People need to respect each other, not discriminate against each other. This is the premise of national stability. The other thing to disappoint you is that there is no ill will against Muslims in China and Myanmar. China and Myanmar are not racist countries and there is no religious discrimination. Mosques can be found all over China and Myanmar. They are in harmony with Buddhist temples, Taoist temples and even Christian churches. Burma's warlords sometimes fight each other, and your claim to wipe out Muslims is just a one-sided media exaggeration of warlord warfare. China has two autonomous regions where the majority of the population believes in Islam, the Uyghur people of Xinjiang and the Hui people of Ningxia. Can you guess another name for Islam in China? that is Hui.

Come on! O, it's the word "tradition" that's confusing you. Sometimes, read twice for understanding. Well, in the simplest of terms, tradition in this context means "the old casual way of doing things" which in this context is unhealthy and not the "worship of gods, or marriage rites, or whatever" you're thinking as tradition. For instance, eating garri is the norm of the people and it is also a tradition. However, the process of preparing and storing it is not hygienic, and advancing on that would not stop you from eating garri which is the core tradition, neither did it change the tradition of selling garri however, it will advance on its preparation and storage which will be more healthy. Look at AC generators of today, they're far different from old generators but they're serving the same purpose. A 5kw generator used to be very large but today the size is twice smaller than the old ones, yet still producing the same power, now this change in size would save space and also the sound ain't as high as the old ones. This is what this professor was trying to explain, and it is clearly because we lack scientists in the government sector that will educate the public on the dangers of some "traditions". This attitude also affects the Nigerian politics, and national security as well as prosperity. Even politicians and many of you were still thinking that despite using an advanced election method that without party structure, one would loose elections, but people without structure were among the top 4 (something that has never happened in Nigeria), in fact, INEC has to switch of their IREV just to maintain the "Tradition" because something shocking was about to occur. Do you understand? Chai! My guy... Abeg think, think, think! No be everything we go wan argue to prove point.

OKOK,I see your said tradition,it meaning is the old way of production.this is also a traditional part of my understanding. I think what is needed is a set of food production standards and corresponding food safety supervision agencies.you want everyone to know what is food safety, which does not require scientists to explain for everyone.I don't know what basic science courses are in primary and secondary schools in Nigeria. but if people have been familiar with these basic since childhood, there will be much less people who don't understand them.

[quote author=Dicado post=123150734][/quote]this is food safety issue,not bagged or no bagged,not handcrafts or factories,and it has nothing to do with tradition.

a person in a foreign country must integrate into the local community, otherwise they can only wait to be excluded by the locals. this has nothing to do with whether to uphold tradition, he always has to find a way to survive living in unfamiliar land. and no one wants their hometown to become an unfamiliar land and then become someone who, although still living in their hometown, is actually homeless in their hearts.
most people are willing to accept gentle and slow change, but the example you gave is too inappropriate. Is it possible that everyone just doesn't like packaging garri, or more likely, packaging garri itself is not as cheap and delicious as locally processed and unpackaged garri.

They are similar and possibly cousins?

Maybe, this process of people from different cultures interacting with each other and gradually changing their customs and eventually forming new cultures is really interesting. Unfortunately, there are so few references on the Internet about West Africa that it's hard to get a better understanding of it if you don't know the local language and don't go there.

what is this tool for? fish hook？climb hook？

Are Ga influenced much by the Akan? I feel like they dress like the Akan.

Bushbaby？Is this some kind of Nigerian folklore? Is it Yoruba or Hausa? Where can I find more folk stories like this?

Blackdeewhy:
Stop searching on Google for our HISTORY.

What's written on web mostly does not portray or tell our TRUE story.

So where can I look up and find your detailed and reliable history？

Fulani invasion in the 20th century? Didn't the caliphate fall in the 1903?

alanto:
On no occasion.

I must have a memory error, I need to spend some time looking for the original picture...

Children of hausa, Yoruba and Igbo need education tailored to their respective cultures if local cultures and regions are not to be assimilated by the West in a globalised environment. Each ethnic group has its own school in China and Russia. The government will also spend money to help ethnic groups living in poor areas set up schools. Nigeria should do the same.

All of these problems could easily be solved if Nigeria strengthened education in its own language and culture, but the cost of educating the entire population is very high... And the official language of Nigeria is English...

sad……

I see that u need help

yes,I want to know it.

That's interesting, but the development of Tibetan and Zhuang also has these characteristics. No matter what language it is, the development is similar. German and Italian satisfy this condition if the tonal language restriction is removed.

I'm curious

Eh....Who can give me some help...

In my area, few people pay attention to the history of this area, and the relevant works and articles have not been translated and introduced. Personally, I am very interested in modern African history and want to know about it, but I don't know how to start.
