Cool story bro!! the pic was taken in 1897...........clearly development in Benin stalled because London was certainly much more developed than that in 1897!!

Secondly Scholars have stated that the Greeks were the first to use street lighting.............As i've stated before your opinion doesn't matter to me.

P.S Egyptians aren't black, they are Arab..........You can't pick and choose when Egyptians are black and not black just to suit your narrative.........When we were talking about slavery they weren't black but now that we are talking about technological advancement they are black??

Egypt is multiracial.leys leave it at that.

jl115:
I disagree however even if you say its true, what's your point exactly? I never said black people don't invent things

Without Latimer's knowledge it electric bulb will not exist. His knowledge was the bedrock and foundation of Thomas's work.

mtisTheQubit:
Ths feels like before Okonkwo committed suicide. Nothing worked. The white man had changed everything. His people's traditions were dying. Even his son had denied him. Please read the book Things Fall Apart

I do agree with you on most part but you have to go further than that..

Question, while is Africa like ths in 21st century with all the minerals an stuff ?
Question, why is our way of life dying...Is someone forcing us to alter our lifestyle ?
Question, what happened to all that Knowledge Africans had ? . For really its like Africans in a way never existed
So mamy questions bro..

For what i know is that Africa history was erased or altered at a given time. For real i know more about the Persians than i know about the Africans..Fact..I can tell most of their history. But back to Africa there nothing to reference..its like Africa continent never existed ..an that bothers me..
Who is to benefit from all that..
Then i project to present. What’s happening in the world. Why is Africa still like the old Africa..Whats happening to America or even in Europe. Who is benefitting

My conclusion. The world is not the way it seems. There are powerful entities or people who manipulate stuff at a level most humans cannot comprehend..

Way forward:
Lets us not go the Middle east way. Like keep on throwing stones …never works ..Africans need to educate themselves an join the big league..thats the only way they will have respect for us..they respect china now even though few years back they used to call them yellow peasants.
An about Pan-Africanism..i don’t think its work for now..lemme give you an example..Kenya and Tanzania..We are like same country. Same tribes ,same language an so many stuff. But ideologically we so different. If cant work in east Africa trust me its hard to crack on the rest of Africa

I agree with U on most of what I highlighted.The bolded was summarised in this video. Just watch till the end.

Obviously the west are the ones benefitting from it.

There is hope for Ghana and Nigeria cities if they follow Rwanda footstep.

Rwanda in 2007 - looked like a typical west african city with lots of rusted little structures sprawling all over

. That's how the majority of Kenya looks like

jl115:
He was a drafter not an inventor........just saying .....................Also your point is what exactly?

Without Latimer's knowledge Thomas Edison wouldn't have had anything to work on.

GICE credit to who credit is due and stop trying to washed down history and steal from black without appropriating .

jl115:
probably the same reason they burned Boer towns and farms.....

And what would that be?

jjhnja44es:
This is a rough sketch of how I think the ongoing Calabar deep Seaport should connect to inland Ports .

The freight train will pass through the following states /cities : Anambra,Abia ,Maiduguri,Ikom ,Ogoja,Abuja,Kaduna,Kano, Markurdi, Taraba,Enugu, etc . The current Calabar port will be phased out because a few bridges are to be built across the river , part of the Calabar mega city master plan.

PS. The Calabar Deep Seaport will be completed and functional by 2027 and will be the deepest in the world at 21 meters.
Refrain from negativity and silly arguments on my thread. Negative and baseless comments will not be responded to .

Story. Which ongoing

Believe this lies at Ur own peril.

jl115:
You know we talking about Africa as a whole right? I can also show you Constantinople which was even superior to the Benin Kingdom.

And yes Benin with its human sacrifice and slavery was probably better than London which was a sh1thole at that time....nobody denied that!

I didn't ask U about human sacrifice.
Now that we've agreed on that. Would u like to tell me why the Europeans burnt Benin to the ground.

Abohboy:
You haven’t brought facts either you just bring quotes I also brought quotes of Dutch and Portuguese explorers who went there but you don’t believe them. It is called selective acceptance. You accept what you want and leave the rest I can post the pictures again. The society was conducted in such a way that there was no need for doors not because they didn’t know what they were or how t9 use them but because there was so little crime and robbery in the area. They had long straight roads, tall walls and metal poles to light the streets. They had very shiny houses and all the roads were very clean these are accounts from the 1400s - 1600s

Yeah that's exactly what he is doing. Selective acceptance.

jl115:
LOL cool story bro next time bring facts

Adhoboy already fed I fact with that screenshot.
Didn't his screenshot reveal how civilized, peaceful,urbanised, industrious the Benin kingdom was at time time in comparison with the crime infested, barbaric,tape, murder uncivilized savage society of London.


And aren't u aware that Benin kingdom was burnt to the grounds by Europeans.

jl115:
Yes some of them were!!

Evidence that black Berbers took up slaves against their wills.

jl115:
When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb some African societies had yet to discover the wheel...........so what's your point?

Thomas Edison couldn't have done that without Latimer.

gallivant:
Thanks in advance.

U are welcome in advance

Warrgidanairala:
A friend was arguing that men's penis size are determined by their height most times and insisted that short men are mostly with small penis as nature cheated them in all ways, she insisted that there's no way a man can be short and well endowed down there as nature has already deprived them of proper growth in every part of their body. So short men in the house what do you have to say regarding this?

That's a lie. I had an acquaintance back then whoose gbola is a big as #50 ruler. I shouted that very day. Very short boy. U will not believe Ur eyes.

gallivant:
You need a leader who will fix your power issues and initiate a masterplan to save Nigerians from poverty. Let us handle the Pan Africanism at the AU headquarters and not poverty central. Thanks in advance.

Our leader will save nigeria,Kenya and Africa at large.let that be your prayer point so U can skip being a puppet to the Chinese in the nearest future. It is bad enough that U've being reduced to toilet paper by the Indians,whites,Arabs. To add the Chinese will be a disaster I don't think Ur poverty zoo can survive. Did U get my point this time now cheers and be happy. Naija gat U bro

CalliDora1:
Stop whining about money here and there. Instead, pray that God should put you in a position to be able to help others when they "bill" you.

A guy has gifted me 80k before without any strings attached and till today he never asked for even my number or anything. That's a man

Why can't that be a woman.

Abohboy:
It’s not Sowore or seun Kuti they are looking for Pan africanists with a socialist agenda who are spokespersons of the people and who are willing to suffer for the people. They are looking for a man of the people a true patriot, Sowore could support us but I don’t think he would be a good leader.

What we need is ore than a leader winning the presidential election. We need an hardcore pan Africanist as a leader . One that is willing to put his interest behind him and stand up to the wicked force of the west that constantly trying to oppress Africa and the global black family. A die-hard leader who is ready to put the interest of his country and continent first even if it means ending up like Gaddafi.

[quote author=gallivant post=98189924][/quote]Thanks for cancelling Ur life cheers in advance

kikuyu1:
Fyi,not many people know we're actually a water stressed nation. In fact we've 4 or 5 deserts,the Somali, Taru,Turkana and Chalbi. You W Africans with your tropical environment have no idea what that means!

It's not an excuse for us IMG water tanks on top of building in a supposed smart city. Pls wake up this is the 21st century and 2021 to be very precise.

U are not more of a dessert nation than UAE or Egypt. Both have developed and still developing new smart cities with core smart features were getting access to clean water is not done primitive-ly.

jln115:
Dude you keep bringing up 1 city..........which FYI also traded slaves and made human sacrifices ............I can also cherry pick great European civilisations of the same time period.

Also Kimberly in South Africa was the first town in Africa and the first in the Southern Hemisphere to have street lights

You can tell that the great Benin kingdom was a far more peaceful, conducive, crime free, industrious advance society than both the Roman Empire and London at that time.

Envy made y'all burn it to the ground. Or do U care to give us reasons at to why Europeans chose to burn such magnificent historical city down.

jln115:
Brought is not the same as invented...... Do you even English bro?

Yeah semantics. Smh

Abohboy:
Yea

Who is it party aspiring to provide as a presidential candidate.
Pls don't tell me sowore.

68816419:
I could show u other views , I am not kidding, Nairobi is highly overrated, every Development must be in Westland, CBD, tiny parts of kiliman and upper Hill ,and you could tour all these so called CBDs in less than. 10 munites max.

Pls show me

jln115:
when did I say Whites invented guns? Stop making up imaginary arguments.

However the guns were imported mostly from the West.... Even before colonization... That's the point

Again go back and follow the discussion from the beginning before spewing your ignorance

U are playing semantics. Ride on

68816419:
And from the circled pic, u could see how large just one of your slum is to your so called CBDs , all your CBDs could fit in Kibera slums, not to mention others.Nigga, Nairobi is 90% slums, I could prove it if u want me?

Pls prove it bro prove it

jln115:
That would be guns and cannons my friend

Does Nigeria have tarred roads?

It's because white Americans are the colonisers or at least the direct descendants of colonisers

We had paved road. Go read about Benin kingdom properly.

jln115:
we were arguing the entire Africa, then you shifted the goal posts to West Africa.... Then you shifted to Nigeria..... And shifted again to lagos

U are grasping at straw now. A sign of desperation.

jln115:
Dude don't put words in my mouth dickhead.... I never said colonisers gave these things for free, neither did I say colonisers were some great liberators of Africa......all I'm stating is the actual historical fact that the majority of modern amenities were brought to Africa from the West

Go back and read my previous posts before spewing your ignorance

U care to list this amenities?

jln115:
Omg you are ignorant go do some research mate!! The berber traders didn't take people that volunteered to be slaves.... They actually took people against their will and sold them..... The example you are talking of was just for the Igbo people and even then people didn't volunteer to be slaves!!

And are Berbers black.

Land reclamation for a new smart city in Lagos ongoing.

Name: Ostia island
A midrise density smart city.

Abohboy:
It’s unfortunate that you don’t joi could you please share the knowledge still


Also I’m not really sure if that’s evidence because they could have created new words for these things for example when the phone came they gave it a name in local languages buy yea for the read, book and write thing I agree.

Are U part of that party that seun Kuti wants to register.
