Goodlyhrt:
The propagator of this thread though be armed in your ways can not defeat logic.

Logic is that you are akin to an animal domesticated, offered better care, educated, clothed, and up rooted from squalor now turn back to curse your benefactor for being such a fool for saving you asxx from ignorance.
If you didn't have a LOW IQ drowned in self hatred and inferiority complex, you would have gleaned from the above posts that it was MORE THAN POSSIBLE for Africans to progress in line with modern developments without having to be invaded and colonised.

Are you even aware that black West Africans ruled large parts of Europe between 711 and 1492, nearly 800 years?

Guiding her out of her Dark Ages and into her Renaissance, which led to the Industrial Revolution?

Do you know that BLACK AFRICANS took Education to Europe?

Dolts like you, too stone-headed to learn black history, are the curse of the continent, and will be gotten rid of.

You use your benefactor's technology, culture to spew nonsense about how you would've been better off in your cesspit.
Cesspit?

You call a crime-free society with zero poverty a ''cesspit'' because you are a mentally colonised dunce, sat behind modern iron gates and barbed wire fences thinking you are in ''paradise''.

Your ancestors couldn't add anything worthwhile to the advancement of human race but their low intelligent copy and barbaric culture.
Black Africans invented speech, writing, mathematics, the sciences, the arts, Iron smelting, mining of minerals, religion, philosophy, law, architecture, medicine, astronomy, international trade, and diplomacy.

Without BLACK AFRICANS there would be no modern civilisation.


You go on about "Great" African empires which you have no published record of but solely based on records of self same benefactors you chose to poke on.
I WILL DROWN YOU IN PUBLIC RECORDS. Just wait.

Don't run from this thread, you hear?

Historical illiterate programmed to self-hate.

You should even thank God for the colonizers. The thing is you're only looking at the negative side of them but overlooking the positive side of them.

By now you would have still be running up and down without clothes in the bush chasing animals without been able to keep records, own a house, live like a rich man or interact with other nations.

I still know what my father and grand parents looked like so do my children and unborn generations because i have their pictures documented. Today, i'm able to communicate with someone in far away, i can take a flight around the world, i can read and write, i can keep records that the future will keep remembering me. Electricity is an important factor in all this. Stop looking at only the negative sides because even back then there were wars and freedom of movement wasn't as guaranteed as it is today due to the level of canibalism, babarism, etc. that existed then. Today we have a much more sophisticated environment. So, also look at the good things that came along.
Until Africans WIPE OUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU from their midst, who have refused to study their history, and have chosen to believe COLONIALIST LIES about African 'savagery', AFRICA will not move forward in any substantive manner.

We simply have to get rid of people like you. Imprison you en masse.

That's exactly what China did, as a notable Nairalander explained recently.

It was exactly what Russia did.

We MUST do that in Africa because you sellouts are a CURSE on the continent.

There is so much evidence available in this day and age, of pre-colonial African MAJESTY. I even referenced the UK Guardian report on this page, which went completely over your head.

You completely IGNORED it, only to regurgitate evil colonial lies about ''no houses, no clothes'' and other ILLITERATE NONSENSE.

Here is a drawing of Benin City, which was essentially the pre-colonial capital of Southern Nigeria. It was drawn by British visitor Mary Evans, in 1836. 60 years before the British bombed and burned it down in 1897.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DhFQSSxX0AADqSb.jpg

Does this look like a place that needed white people from Europe to colonise them for them to make further progress?

Here is a drawing by the same woman of a VILLAGE in the Benin kingdom in 1836 - a full 78 years before colonialism began.

Can you see the multi-storey buildings in the village?

Can you see the equitable distribution of wealth evident in those buildings?

Unlike today where we have a beautiful mansion surrounded by shanties?

https://www.mediastorehouse.com/p/164/benin-village-scene-4359826.jpg

When we tell you people that colonial rule REGRESSED us, here is the evidence.

Because if our VILLAGES were looking like this IN 1836, IE NEARLY 200 YEARS AGO, I PUT IT TO YOU, THAT ABSENT OF COLONIALISM, THEY WOULD TODAY, BE LOOKING ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.

ALL OUR VILLAGES.

Not to mention cities.

NO SHANTIES.

NO POVERTY.

AS IN ......ZERO POVERTY.

They were ALREADY AT THAT STAGE THEN, 200 YEARS AGO.

So by today, poverty would have been a total STRANGER in Africa, absent of colonial interruption.

Do you know that the Benin Empire exchanged ambassadors with Portugal starting from 1504?

They had an Embassy of the Benin Empire in Lisbon, and vice versa in Benin City.

How dare you say we had no contact with the outside world?

Do you know that Nigerians EXPORTED SOAP AND TEXTILES in huge quantities to Europe before the British invasion of Nigeria?

In fact PORTUGAL had to BAN the import of Nigerian manufactured soap in the mid 1800s in order to protect the fledgling Portuguese soap manufacturing industry.

Here is an Independent UK report detailing the mass production of GLASS by ancient Nigerians.

Glass was made in Africa centuries before arrival of Europeans, says new evidence
Chemical analysis of beads found at a site in Nigeria reveals a composition entirely unique to the region


Josh Gabbatiss
Science Correspondent



https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2018/01/19/17/glass-beads-africa.jpg


''Glass was produced in sub-Saharan Africa long before Europeans arrived, according to scientists studying beads found in Nigeria.

Chemical analysis of glass found at a Nigerian archaeological site revealed a distinct composition entirely unique to the region.

The finding contradicts a long-held assumption that glass was brought to sub-Saharan Africa by traders from the Mediterranean or the Middle East.''

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/glass-africa-made-before-european-arrival-colonialisation-advanced-technology-a8168601.html


Notably, the glass found at Igbo Olokun was also dated to between the 1100s and 1500s, centuries before Europeans established trade networks in West Africa.

“We are now confident beyond reasonable doubt that both the high lime-high alumina and low lime, high alumina groups of glass represent a glass produced in early Ile-Ife using local recipes, raw materials and technology,” wrote the researchers in their paper documenting the findings.

Their results are published in the Journal of Archaeological Science.

''The occurrence of similar beads in other West African societies, as revealed by other archaeological excavations, indicated the glass produced at Igbo Olokun was part of a wider regional trading network.''

So in the 1100s, we were manufacturing and exporting GLASS, and you are telling me that we needed 'WHITE PEOPLE' to come and ''civilize us'' in 1890 whatever?

Talking about some people not wearing clothes. Africa is HOT. That is why many people chose to dress very lightly.

Our ancestors, the PHARAOHS turned out topless.

Pharaoh Tutunkhamun, 1332 BCE
https://i.pinimg.com/564x/88/08/4a/88084a64fb107c3a308330fd1fdff06a.jpg

These were the builders of mighty pyramids and temples.

For thousands of years the world leaders in mathematics, geometry, medicine, surgery, architecture, astronomy, the sciences, the arts, philosophy, law, and religion.

Who told you you need to cover your entire body with clothes to be ''civilized''?

FOREIGNERS WHO LIVE IN COLDER CLIMATES, THAT'S WHO TOLD YOU THAT.

The ONLY REASON you believe today that not wearing clothes means you are uncivilized, is because you were colonised by people from very cold climates who always wore clothes. And who brainwashed you to think that the way THEY did their thing was the ''civilized'' way, as opposed to just being ''their way''.

Unbrainwash yourself.

Remman:
No, it seems you fail to understand how this works, do you?

It is not because Christianity was introduced that those things happened but because Nigeria was colonized by evil men. With or without Christianity they still would have done what was on their mind.

Hitler was a christian publicly but in Christ's kingdom he's an agent of darkness. Even the US, Russia, UK and France pose as christian nations. But Christ who is the head of christians said by their fruit you will know them and he also let us know that there will be evil men who would deceive the people under the umbrella of christianity during the close of age. And we've seen them and Hitler is a good example of a false christian. That someone call himself a christian doesn't make him a christian for it is written in the scriptures that not everyone calling my name Lord lord will enter my kingdom.
Anytime we call you CHRISTIANS out, you start claiming that all the CHRISTIANS who commit atrocities are not really CHRISTIANS.

You need to stop that nonsense.

One can EQUALLY claim that the traditional priests who demanded a virgin sacrifice for the community each year were ''not the real traditioal priests''.

That the ones that will give you a concoction to pour in your enemy's drink and turn him mad....are not the real ones.

That the real ones are the rainmakers, and diviners. Those whom you visit to learn about your life's purpose etc etc, and those that give you charms for divine protection against your enemies. Those whom you visit to tell you who stole your money.

SO, TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME OF 'PICK AND CHOOSE'.
Christianity EtcRe: A Christian Said 'Thank God For Xtianity. It Ended Ancestors' Evil'. My Response by Topman7(op):
Remman:
Guy, you're confusing human characters with Christianity. In every religion, family, relationship and organisation, there are evil people who hide under the guise of their organisation to execute their evil plans. It's true that the British colonisers weaponised Christianity for their own selfish gains but does that make them true christians? No! Christianity obviously teaches love and peace over hatred and violence as well as forgiveness of sins, this was what the evil men weaponised.

Even in your family, workplace or other social organisation, there are people who would want to take advantage of others using the organisation as their umbrella. Which is why scholars over time have been able to explain and differentiate religion from politics. Even in politics today, our leaders are using their position to loot as if that was why they elected them their. Some even use the law to their own advantage (as in the case of rigging).
The person is right because Christianity has really helped us than destroy us!
But the 2 million Igbos SLAUGHTERED between 1967 and 1970 would have been ALIVE TODAY If CHRISTIANITY was never introduced.

There would have been no bloody military coups and military dictatorship and mass corruption, that has led to mass poverty and millions of casualties.

The coup soldiers, like their ancestors, would have consulted traditional oracles prior to executing such a drastic action, and the oracles would have IMMEDIATELY opposed the DESECRATION OF THE LAND which the bloody January 1966 coup represented.

But as CHRISTIANS, you can wake up and decide to go and kill ten people or a thousand, or a million, or 6 million like Hitler, or 10 million like Stalin, because according to them , you are ''forgiven'' by ''JESUS'' because you ''accepted him''.

CHRISTIANITY AND EVEN ISLAM, ARE JUST A LICENSE TO COMMIT ATROCITIES.

THAT is why we have so many problems. The moral restraints imposed by Traditional African Religion are GONE.

Today, armed robbers and kidnappers VISIT PASTORS FOR BLESSINGS prior to going on an operation.

Can they ever DARE to visit the shrine of Amadioha or Shango to ask for blessings to commit robbery and kidnapping?

Amadioha would strike him down before he completes the sentence!

We used to sleep in peace before CHRISTIANITY came.

Now we sleep with one eye open in FEAR of what a CHRISTIAN armed robber or kidnapper might do.

According to the UK Guardian newspaper.

''In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.''

A CHRISTIAN on a thread I just visited wrote something that really pissed me off.

He said: ''Thank God for Christianity in Africa, because it ended out ancestors' evil cultural practices.''


My Response to him:


CHRISTIANS DESTROYED NIGERIA AND AFRICA.

It was CHRISTIAN IGBO OFFICERS who were told by the TOKUNBO IMPORTED ORACLE named ''Jesus'' that it was okay to go around shooting elected Nigerian leaders in January 1966, A CRIME AND ATROCITY that overthrew our democratic dispensation following independence, and led to a BLOODY CIVIL WAR in which an estimated 2 million Igbo lives were lost, and also led to the descent of Nigeria into military dictatorship, which set the nation back by decades.

I very much doubt our ancestors' ''evil cultural practices'' were anywhere near that DESTRUCTIVE.

Indeed, isn't it better to SACRIFICE A VIRGIN TO THE GODS once or twice a year, than to SLAUGHTER MILLIONS OF PEOPLE in senseless conflicts orchestrated by CHRISTIANS?

Even GOWON who led the other side was also a CHRISTIAN.

As a matter of fact, our ancestors, even in cities, built their houses WITHOUT FRONT DOORS, as attested to by 15th century Portuguese visitors to Great Benin City, who commented widely on its crime-free society where THEFT was UNHEARD OF.

A progressive city of streetlights fuelled by palm oil steel lamps that lined the streets. A city with underground drainage, multi-storey buildings and public monuments. A city built with African mathematical fractal design unknown to Europe UNTIL the early 20th century.

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace

A city burned and bombed down by CHRISTIAN BRITONS in 1897, who looted the palace of its bronze treasures, and currently display some of those treasures their museums today, as the SHAMELESS CHRISTIAN THIEVES THEY ARE.

As CHRISTIANS, can you build your houses today without front doors?

Heck, you build every house in FEAR of your fellow CHRISTIANS, who are armed robbers, thieves, and kidnappers, and so you have barbed wire fences and iron gates up to 12 feet high, with iron bars on your windows!

Your EVIL christian religion masquerading as SAINTHOOD permits humans to commit the most heinous ATROCITIES and even WAR CRIMES, so long as they ''accept Jesus as their personal lord and saviour'', and contribute MONEY to buy pastor's mansion and private jet.

Today you have CHRISTIANS openly CHEERING THE SLAUGHTER of tens of thousands of innocent children in Gaza.

Openly cheering GENOCIDE.

Your fear is for the West not to recolonize us so they won’t take our natural resources.

1. As a black African, if you are left with your natural resources do you know what to do with it? Can you process it? In all history did Black Africans even know the uses of what they have before the White man came?

2. It’s nearly 65 years since independence from Britain. Millions of Africans have acquired Western education since then. But we still can’t do anything to process our natural resources. Of what use is it to us then? Why shouldn’t the West that knows what to do with it take it?

3. You are celebrating kicking out France from Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Republic, right? Don’t worry. These countries are going the part of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe kicked out White people and nationalized their lands. That country went from being the food basket of the world to a failed state today.

4. As black Africans, we prefer a few politicians to steal our common patrimony than allow people who can help us. Same way we’ll vote along ethnic and tribal lines than who has the zeal to make positive changes.

5. Give China the opportunity to govern Nigeria for just 10 years and you’ll see progress we can’t achieve in 200 years.

6. End Wokeness! Black Africa must be recolonized!

The positive impact of the Lagos Calabar coastal road on the Nigerian economy will be huge and generational.
I have tried to explain to some why this is a brainer but they seem bent on looking at it from a political and sentimental perspective.
Even if Obi was President and he proposed this road, I would have supported it with everything I have.

Nigeria has a long coastline and most are not been used to their full potential. Imagine how many beaches will open up from Lagos to Calabar, imagine world-class hotels, imagine the potential for resorts in many areas.


Look at it from the potential benefits instead of the potential delays and costs.

Projects of this magnitude will experience delays, cost overruns, and many other problems. But we must still start it and plan for potential hiccups as we go along. No matter how ell you plan there will be issues but that is not enough reason to back away form it.

That the road didn't pass through the South East is never the issue. The issue is, there are abandoned projects all over the country including an East West road already serving the same purpose for which the coastal highway is designated. That East West road is in terrible condition and lives are being lost on that road everyday. Put it in order and channel the rest amount of money to areas that needed utmost attention. Not a project that won't be completed under 20yrs.


Again,15 trillion Naira is a huge money earmarked for a project that never followed due process. Perhaps it could have been less than what Dave Umahi wants us to believe.

Too many grey areas associated with the project are the reason for reasonable doubts.

Here's part 2 as promised.

Fourteen: He claimed that the US President pays for his own food, but a search on the White House website indicates that the White House food budget covers most of the costs of the US President's meals, although there are some that the President pays for.

Fifteen: I employed 60% of Anambra people in IBL Brewery (IBL employs less than 0.06 of Anambra’s population).

Sixteen: Out of 150 players in the American NBA, almost 100 are Nigerians. But Nigerian players in the NBA are less than 3%.

Seventeen: I did not leave debt in Anambra (actually, he left debt, according to the Debt Management Office).

Eighteen: Tinubu sent out WhatsApp messages against me that I would destroy Lagos (actually, the blast was sent out by Powell Glad Legbe, an Obidient).

Nineteen: Nigeria exported less than $30 billion in 2021 (Nigeria has exceeded $30 billion in exports for over a decade).

Twenty: I am the first Governor to be impeached and reinstated in Nigeria (actually, Ladoja was the first).

Twenty One: I have never been involved in corruption (according to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, Peter Obi corruptly ferried money out of Nigeria and stashed it in secret accounts). For this, he was investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in 2022, and that case has not been officially closed.

Twenty Two: My investment in SABMiller is now worth $100 million (actually, the Obi government’s investment of $12.24 million is now worth only $5.38 million).

Twenty Three: The Governors of the Southeast founded ESN (actually, ESN was founded on December 13, 2020, by Nnamdi Kanu).

Twenty Four: I have only one wristwatch (Peter Obi has been photographed with multiple wristwatches).

Twenty Five: I don’t fly private jets (pictures don’t lie!). Obi has been pictured alighting from multiple private jets.

Twenty Six: The British government apologised to me after detaining me at Heathrow. Enquiries from the UK High Commission in Abuja indicated no such apology was offered by the British Government to Mr. Obi.

Twenty Seven: Peter Obi claimed NEXT was dissolved. Investigations revealed that the UK government did not dissolve the company. Rather, it was punitively struck off after failing to file annual returns.

Twenty Eight: Peter Obi claimed that apart from Venezuela, Nigeria is the only OPEC nation not meeting its quota. That is a lie. Data from OPEC's website shows that no OPEC country meets its production quota.

Twenty Nine: He said Nigeria has 60% youth unemployment. However, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, this is false.

Thirty: Peter Obi claims he is a nationalist, but as Governor, he threatened to sack non-natives of Anambra in the Anambra State Civil Service, an unconstitutional act.

Good heavens!

This is dramatic and stunning. 🤩

In fact I’m speechless! 🤩🤣

Every word typed is a heavy blow to Obi’s jaw! 🤣🤣
PoliticsRe: Why Do Nigerians Look Up To Mr. President And Forget About Their Governors? by Topman7: 2:36pm On May 06, 2024
Because they are governed by tribalism.

If the president is of a different ethnic group from theirs, he becomes their target, and they ignore the conduct of their own state governors

It’s usually the Igbos who reason in this backward manner.

Bobby4090:
The Mayor of Dubai has spoken. The fraud says he's fighting corruption. He should start by giving up all the assets he fraudulently acquired in Dubai and all the ones he fraudulently acquired during the days of privatisation.
DON’T MIND ATIKU.

LOOK AT ATIKU SITTING IN A MANSION IN DUBAI, AND TALKING ABOUT CORRUPTION.

ATIKU, WHERE DID YOU FIND THE MONEY TO BUY MANSION IN DUBAI?

Sannisege:
Reno is ripping apart the lies of Obi and his psycho followers.
I swear.

And Obidients can only respond by abusing him! 😂🤣🤣

They can’t contest what he is saying. 😆😂

One thing about Reno is that he’s a meticulous researcher.

He knows his shiit!

He can single-handedly wreck Obi’s presidential ambition.

Obi better find a way to go and beg that guy, because he has the goods on him! 😄

DMerciful:
These are not really what is needed to develop Kano but human capacity development.

Kano should focus on education as the highest priority so that insecurity will reduce to the bearest minimum
How will you develop human capacity without good roads and infrastructure?

What is human capacity surrounded by potor potor?

I honestly wish there was a way we could mark down all the people opposed to this project, and BAN THEM FROM USING THAT ROAD once it's completed.

They're so annoying!
