Nayah: But sometimes the Op of those threads are not nigerian, they are Somali or Ethiopian trolls though. To be honest many Nigerians are not familiar or know to much about Horn of Africa, who do you think are the ones saying bantu and all this nonsense all the time |

PhysicsMHD: I admit it... Ghana also has the most history written by European explorers in Africa... That is why Ghana has much more detailed history written than other African countries many of whom have turned to writing lies based on oral history... |

red, black, and green = Marcus Garvey, also pan-Africanism green, white, and green = wealth and peace (neither of which Nigeria really has nationwide), but unfortunately its colors coincide with those of some Arab/Muslim country flags 1 Like |

kengis: Then Ethiopia which you are praising are the biggest tools!! The biggest aid recipient in the WORLD! Is that not SLAVERY?? If you take all that aid you have to do what the person giving the aid wants!! Hence the wars on behalf of Western nations etc etc!!! There is a difference between real pride and fake pride and poverty takes away almost any dignity one may have!!! Only NEGROES would be impressed with some of these "accomplishments"!! I am not impressed!!! |

SmoothCrim:Just to point out I'm not a Nigerian, and superiority based on constructive things and NOT subjectivity or little details and passion. Think about it Plus superiority in what? judging from the fact that every single countries has their goods and bads? |
Re: Ethiopia-the Birth Of Nations-the Origin Of The Green, Yellow And Red Flag! by SmoothCrim: 1:39am On Aug 24, 2012 |
kengis: I am giving a historical lesson!! It teaches a very big lesson that one must learn about the Barbarian era in West Africa!! If you don't learn it it will happen again... Nigeria as the biggest exporter of people should have learned it the most but, has learned it the least! As I said, slavery to me is not embarrassing! If I am embarrassed by anything it is not the people but, the thinking during that time that allowed it to happen!! Mainly in the Ghanaian context division and ethnic rivalry!! I can promise you that a united Ghana would NEVER have allowed so many Castles to be built(even though genetic tests are starting to prove that not that many Ghanaians ended up in the west which is strange....??)!! Either way... A united Ghana will would have taken over Africa... Only Ghanaian RULE can SAVE Africa!!! Once again!! Only Ghanaian RULE can SAVE Africa |

PhysicsMHD: It was pan-Africanism. If you understand the milieu in which Nkrumah and his colleagues were operating, then you'll understand why they went with those colors. reminds me of Arab countries using flag colors of the 3 isamic caliphates : ummayads, abassids, fatimid and also the khawrij., i.e., red, black, white and green. These are the Pan-Arab colours, used by Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, and formerly in the flags of Libya, South Yemen, and the short-lived Arab unions of the United Arab Republic, and the Federation of Arab Republics |

SmoothCrim: Mali probably has the most detailed precolonial written history, along with some other Islamic states in West Africa, like those in Northern Nigeria. |

PAGAN 9JA: Seems you're right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-Arab_colors There's a lot of similarity, and yet the Arabs use the colors in such a way that the flags don't really look like those of the African countries that went with pan-African colors. |
