Minsk24: Yes you are right to , the white are not a superior race for sure, but a sophisticated one...we Africans did not have widespread sophisticated states pre-colonialism.....there are a handful here and there...but it was not widespread...these lack of sophistication still persisted after colonialism
Sir, my problem with this bunch of "Whites are superior" singer is that they only scratch the surface which I find sort of lazy!
They never talked about the fact that Europe, Asia, and North Africa remained in contact for thousands of years and ideas spread. Go to North Korea and see if they know about the Russia - Ukraine war.
Despite being cut off from the rest of the world including the farthest land, our ancestors managed to build empires and kingdoms with laws, traditions which we might find some barbaric today. At least, they had pride in their beliefs!
If our ancestors lived in very cold places, they would certainly find a way to cover themselves up. Besides, why do these guys judge these ancient guys with 21 century European lens?!
Let's imagine the British allowed the Ashanti empire the same opportunity the Americans gave Japan! Japan is another proof of what isolation can do to a people. Biafra is another example of what war and necessity can do.
There's a lot of facts out there, I admire white people, in fact, my closest friend as broke as I am, is half Asian and half white.
Imagine how an African child would feel reading @franchasofficia comments... I understand where he's coming from but not everybody will.
Minsk24: Gun powder came from China , yes, but it is the Europeans that modernized the technology of using firearms, invention can come from a place and another people will copy it and innovate it to superiority... The same China was defeated by the british in the opium wars... Accepting that some people have done greater things than u, doesn't make u inferior...
Oga, there's a difference between admitting a white man did something great and that he comes from superior race!
The latter is simply admitting you're inferior to him! Chinua Achebe noted the great inventions of the west but also admitted that it pushed the Igbos to strive harder just to meet up with them because they understood that this WHITE GUYS are doing something great!
I have never seen Chinua Achebe call a particular race superior! Don't you get it??
Mrtaye: whites are superior race that's just the bitter truth take it or leave it......when the whites came to Africa to colonise and take slaves why didn't blacks at that time have the technology to match them fire for fire 🔥 to forestall slavery and colonization.....rather black Africans couldn't match them and you are talking about nonsense coon mentality of which your education is even the invention of the same whites
That's where you got it wrong!
Africans and Europeans were all partners in crime, Africans fought other tribes and instead of killing them, they sold them into slavery for profits and safety. It happened everywhere in the world.
Europeans didn't barge in and took people to a faraway land without working with others. WELL except for few occasions and also others who were kidnapped and sold to these slave traders -- we all know about human and sex trafficking.
As at the peak of the Mali empire, Portuguese couldn't even conquer them because the gap between them weren't that much. Some of these ancient west African empires had embassies over there (if I'm not mistaking)...
I wonder if you think Japanese and Koreans are inferior?? We keep blaming "black people" without blaming ourselves;
PARADIZEPRIEST: naija youth did generator that runs on water, and up till now nobody for naija dey talk about this guy,including socalled busybody press people, both people in govt. and outside govt. There is no doubt that some so-called elite don't want people to stop paying for fuelling generators IF NA CHINA THIS GUY WILL BE A BILLIONAIRE,THEY WILL PATENT HIS TECH AND PAY HIM OFF AND MASS PRODUCE THIS WATER GENERATOR. the rich no want the poor to breathe in this country from economic point, they keep suppressing them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLZHSehpvbs
@franchasofficia, here is a young man who isn't "dick measuring with the white man" but just trying to build a legacy for himself, what has the black people in the most populous black nation done to support him?
You talk about all these inventions as if people don't give credit to the white guys that invented them. I assume you'd want a country that supports technological advancement no matter how crazy the idea might seem -- Biafra.
Can't you see what our fathers did within a short period of time? I'd like to have this conversation with you, sir. I'm a big fan. I really want to talk to you 🙏. Maybe I could create another thread or something.
Without whites, the world would have been so backward and difficult.
I am black like you, but lets leave sentiment aside and say the truth. White race are a superior race when it comes to creative intelligence, invention, science, technology and leadership, there is nothing bad in saying the truth.
Even in families, siblings are not born with equal wisdom and talent, some are more talented than others even though they were born by same father/mother.
Until we blacks learn to say the truth and begin to address our natural weakpoints that has kept us below par when compared to other races, we will continue to bask in our foolishness in the name of being woke.
I stand on my initial words that without White South Africans, South Africa would have been a very backward, dangerous 4th world country.
Give honor to whom honor is due. Give respect to whom respect is due.
It's because of "truth" like this that has made this bunch of worthless puppets brave enough to eliminate anyone that challenges them. I know you're learned enough to understand the revolutions that led to the Europe we all know today.
Mind you, I love White people -- c'mon, they have truly done well but that doesn't mean they did all this because they had something others didn't have!
The Japanese caught up with the rest of the world after the American black ships ended their 200 year isolation! Caucasians and South Africans are not the reason baboons and monkeys have refused to progress!
TMKsouth: So much for Somalia. White worshippers and black SA haters wailing right now 😂😂😂
I love how you shut them up with facts, I was actually expecting them to invade the thread as usual. If only they know they're simply undermining the entire black Africans.
South Africans are not the reason Nigeria has refused to be useful to the African people despite being ruled by the so-called black leaders.
I didn't expect this from you @franchasofficia, although I understand where you're coming.
Carcholce: I cannot work for another man! Rich kid like me. With the amenities at my disposal in Nigeria, I do not see why I should continue to work for a man with a working penls as mine. Not forgetting some of them with erectile dysfunction.
Another important thing is. I cannot even jump queue anymore, in Nigeria I sit inside the car and signal to the security guard to take me inside the bank with 1k squeezed into his hand. Overtime they start making way for me immediately they sees me at the bank premises.
A lot of other things I cannot mention right now. Imagine a scenario where the Oba of Benin travels abroad and becomes a commoner. E nor clear na.
In 2022 I broke up with a lady because her job was to clean adult asx. The same adult asx She would not clean in Nigeria.
I am telling you this from fact, 99.9 percent of Nigerian men do not like abroad but Nigeria where they feel like a king. The majority that would care to argue this are the percentage that can sell you to a white men for mere recognition while the others are married men.
(Anyone that can guess correctly why I said married men has won the sum of 10 thousand Naira)
Please provide your answers with facts and statistics!
The fact that you mostly miss the illegalities proves that Nigeria is only meant for criminal minded individuals.
creativehubb: Mad pig Nzeogwu is an Igbo man, Nzeogwu is an Igbo name, some igbos might live in Delta but that doesn't mean they are deltans... foolish idiot go and talk to your dumb mates...lots of igbos scattered everywhere in Nigeria like refugees but everyone knows they are igbos, he fought the Igbo cause, and ojukwu used Nzeogwu in the biafran war, Nzeogwu gladly participated because he is Igbo. Monkey.
I'm sorry to say this but I think it's you that's a monkey! Tell me where exactly is Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna from? Y'all keep spreading false information, I hope the so called Delta Igbos are seeing this?
This monkey claims that your lands doesn't belong to y'all because you bear Igbo names and speak Igbo dialects.
creativehubb: Of course...when we had empire states they were still in their bushes, Simon Ekpa is an idiot, if he knows what's gwan or history he won't be courting enemity with Niger Delta, we are their papa.
Nzeogwu and other so-called "Nigerdeltans" caused the killing of innocent Igbos (this made my mother fatherless) all over Nigeria which led to the genocidal war! I don't comment on issues like this but you're just an ignorant being, sir! 😠
Kizyte: I once tried to fix my street all by myself. I planted some beautiful trees, water them daily, and cleaned up every nook and cranny, but after one month, the Fulanies brought their cows and ate up all the trees I suffered to plant and nurture. They left behind, cow dungs all over the street.
dyera: We are also lazy and lack the desire to improve things around us. The paved streets that existed in Europe and Asia in the middle ages were done not with heavy machinery, but with pure labor force. We have the population, but we are not willing to work. Or maybe we don't have the brain to do so.
Benin empire and Ashanti empire all had paved road. This dumbos insulting their ancestors but are unable to do better than them are the worst set of fools I've seen.
My only pain is that I might never see the Africa become great before I die -- because with the number of idiots we have in this continent, I might as well place a bet on Monkeys to start talking in the next 30 years.
Like Gerard59 (don't know if I got that moniker right) said, you can never lose a bet against Nigeria. This is why I think it's very stupid for us to undermine our ancestors way of life -- which we know nothing about except based on hearsay -- when we've proved to be just hairless monkeys!
Samantha124: Count me out because I don't agree with all of this... I have nothing against Muslim Arabs, but these people always like using violence to solve their problems and the innocent people always end up paying the price.
These same people they're supporting might just one day bomb us because with the way the number of Arabic Muslims seem to be slowly growing here in SA to a point that you'll even find some Pakistanis in villages, some with their children who are fluent in our local languages, I just can't help but sometimes worry.
Years to come, an Arab spring might just occur.
Survival of the fittest! The same reason some parts of Europe might become "arabized" a thousand years from now.
Jakumo: He has indeed proudly claimed responsibility for an act of statutory rape, but this begs the question of how it is that in Northern Nigeria to this day, elderly men routinely marry 12-year-old children as forced brides, with absolute immunity from prosecution.
With this legal discrepancy in mind, would it be correct to say that Northern Nigerian regional or religious laws encourage and protect child molesters who would be languishing in jail if they happened to commit such crimes in the southern Christian parts of the nation?
I'm not supporting the OP but the truth is dating underage is a norm in this part of the world (North), I don't know about the South but most of them from the South do it.
They'd tell you that as long as she's matured enough to fvck, she's good to go. If the girl rejects them with reasons like the guy is too old for her then it's all good but they seldom do this. My first time getting really close to a teenage girl was crazy, she taught me french kiss or whatever it's called, she was hella wild but although she believed I was bad too.
Before anyone comes for my neck, we were born the same year... Till date, I'm still a virgin but might cease to be one soon.
KnowledgePower7: As someone born in the early early 90's I can't help but fall in love with these Gen Z babes
I have come to the conclusion that Gen Z girls are the sweetest,baddest, smartest babes I've ever meet in Nigeria. Naughty in bed also😋
As an old man in mid 30's fvcking a 16 year old is so rejuvenating. Brings back so many nostalgic memories of my secondary school paroles back then no social media Those days of lyrics book and GSM sagem Ohhhhh time flies😅
I noticed that I'm getting younger and more fresher because of her. Something I never experienced with 25 to 30 + women.. My love for this Gen Z is extraordinary ❤️❤️
And I'm just 21 - 22 but want nothing to do with 'em . Hey everyone, the truth is these girls are really bad honestly. It's even a norm in the street and nobody says shit about it.
victory36: Serious overpopulation if slave trade never happened. We would be even more underdeveloped if colonialism never happened.
You should read about the empires that existed back then, and oh yes, we'd be overpopulated just like every other continent. Remember Europe moved many of their people to other continents, the British moved criminals to other continents like America and Australia.
Imagine if they never did, what's the population of Americans of British descents, Australians, and North Zealand?
Africans are more inclined to spirituality than Science
Again Africans became lazy due to mass abundance of food, animals and resources with very good weather
Europeans and Asia became smarter because of lack of resources, food
This is not entirely true.
Some west African empires were already making some changes to match their trading partners from Europe. Asia and Europe all shared knowledge together which enabled them to grow, this shows that sometimes we need each other to advance technologically.
If Europeans had done the same thing Americans did to Japan here in Africa, empires like Benin empire and Ashanti empire would have caught up with them. If they could stop some Africans from stupid rituals like human sacrifice, they could have done more.
Check out empires like Mali empire which had contact with the middle East and North Africa, they were so developed they pushed back the Portuguese Invaders. When you look at some of these things from a neutral perspective, you'd agree that trading and interaction would have opened Africa to opportunities.
Back then, the Ashanti empire viewed some of Europeans way as unnecessary but managed to send the two princes to school abroad, this should tell you that Africans lived just like every human being. Anyway, it's up to us to do better than our ancestors since we claim they were backward.
Mr Ibu was a big part of my childhood, although I didn't watch enough movies back then. After seeing this thread, I was moved and sent my little chickenchange. I know it's not much but this is me wishing him a speedy recovery.
okoroemeka: that young man is sitting on a keg of gunpowder and he is still talking about love,that girl can easily die in his house when having an orgasm and he will know how far in Nigerian prison,I had a girlfriend before with similar heart condition and after a romp in.my place turned to two days in the hospital I have to surrender my love to common sense and run for dear life, freedom is the greatest asset
