That is their culture. marry your cousin. rule forever. above the law. own every bird in the water. yet they stick to it, are proud of it and defend it.
But in Nigeria just celebrate your local culture and post it on the internet and have some brainwashed mofos open their ignorant vocal chords and spill garbage.

I once heard a story about this British monarchy on radio that anyone that touches the queen will be executed instantly expect the royal bodyguard.

so there was an incident that occurred on the sea inside the boat...when it looses grip the supposed bodyguard fell into the sea along with the queen...

so everyone watched her as she cried for help and see her drone into the sea...

They later amended the law...

They didn't just stop at giving it any name they wanted. They also instituted major things like religion, language, and the scam called Western education.

No country can attain greatness if its citizens speak another man's language as their lingua franca, if they worship another man's gods as their own gods, if their system of education is foisted on them by their colonial masters.

A sovereign country must develop their own indigenous systems of education, language, and religion. These are core issues that determine the greatness any country attains.

But sadly, Nigeria — and a host of other African countries — still suffer this fate and are in the throes of neocolonialism.

Africans only have an illusion of freedom. No uhuru yet until we go back to our roots, embrace our indigenous cultures and traditions, and discard that scam called Western education.

Courses and subjects have to be taught in our citadels of learning in our indigenous languages, and only translated to English later on. English needs to be relegated to a second language.

Scam called western education yet if Tim Berners didnt discover the worldwideweb, you probably wont be able to type what you are typing now in the internet, together with Charles Barbage inventor of modern computers, plus the electricity you probably used in charging your phone or tablet courtesy of Benjamin Franklin. Plus those who invented vaccine for you so small pox, chicken pox and polio would not have killed you by now. Plus alexander bell who gave you the modern telephone so you can communicate with your loved ones.

Plus the ability of your doctor to successful diagnose you with an ailment, carry out a surgery on you, and make you feel better all thanks to modern advance in western science bro.

Instead what you should say is that perhaps just like the japanese and chinese do thiers, you can transcribe and translate all these knowledge into your own local languages so that it will never be lost. But that western education is a scam, please never again repeat that statement. Its an unfair and unrealistic one to make.

You sure can do this just like other countries have e.g English, Blangadesh but i dont think its of any significance tbh, as it wont appreciate or depreciate the improvements in life western education and civilization brought. It wont make any difference whether you want to speak English or Hausa

Funny enough i dont think colonialism was bad either, there were extreme great indirect benefits it brought which could have made Nigeria a better much place till today

Thunder will kill you before you succeed, who are you refering to as a Morôn? Thunder Will kill you again and again. it is the truth and you can go online to reseach it but i don't give a fvck whether you are convince or not, Even the whites still travel to Yoruba Land for any special occasion to learn more about our Culture, but you imbeciles have been brainwashed that anything related to your culture is evil while they steal your culture under your nose, tell me who the morôn is here? Not everything in our culture is good but not everything is bad either, the Whites know that better than us but we will always behave like a Obedient and Brainwashed Slaves

codemaniacs:


you're not correct, Equitorial Guinea speaks spanish and portuguese while Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, São Tomé and Príncipe speak portuguese..

what you should have said is they were not successful in enslaving west Africans...

even britain wasn't successful in enslaving west Africans they only changed the political, academic e.t.c structure of west Africa, which is what west Africans have stupidly passed down since the british introduced it.

They weren't successful in enslaving West Africans? Really?

The bulk of the slaves actually came from West Africa!!. West Africa was the most successful geographical area in provisioning slaves.

Again, Spain and Portugal concentrated in slavery in the Americas and Caribbeans. This's why they didn't colonize many African countries because they didn't acquire many lands or what they called ''spheres of influence'' which were later to become countries after the sharing of the so called spheres of influence at the Berlin conference in 1884-1885. The reason for that was because at a point Britain took over the supply of slaves to the rest of the plantations in the Americas and Caribbeans.

However, somehow, Spain and Portugal managed to maintain Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, São Tomé, as ''spheres of influence'' so they got it at the Berlin conference or were able to fight off another European country or make a deal with another European country to acquire them. But by that time, we're talking about COLONIALISM not slavery.

codemaniacs:


the history you read claimed that "The bulk of the slaves actually came from West Africa!!. West Africa was the most successful geographical area in provisioning slaves" it didn't say and will never say the Africans were already in the Americas and Caribbeans.

west Africans only signed "security agreements (peace treaties)" with the invaders, they were never colonised like Congo, South Africa, Brazil e.t.c...

you have your opinion and I have mine and I believe there was no trans-atlantic slave trade because it will be stupid to sell people that are meant to work for them under the hot African sun to another continent and it will be un-wise to think west Africans were not constantly fighting them back.

While I agree with you that the slaves were not sold, they were mostly acquired as prisoners of war, kidnapped, coerced, tricked, but to say they were not shipped from West Africa is not sound history. Slaves were certainly shipped off overseas from West Africa/other parts to the Americas and Caribbeans where they were then sold. The white traders left records in the form of notice for sale over there.

Below, they advertised sales of Gold Coast (Ghana) and Sierra Leonian slaves.
