The problem we are having in Africa is Neocolonialism.

How can the Fulanis be controlling almost all the resources in the South, they make policies to slow the economy of the country expecially in the South East Nigeria. Nigerian policies of centralised power is why life is harder in Eastern Nigeria compared to others.
All we needed for development are kept in the exclusive list.
Why is State like Enugu not allowed to generate electricity for Herself?


Nigeria must be restructured or black people all over the world will always be seen as sub-human.


A country like Nigeria can never be developed.
A country that don't have border in the Sahel.
They open Nigeria for the world to loot.

Black people keeping their fellow black down is responsible for our problem.

All they do it tie fellow Africans down and massacre them, then steal their resources and give to the world.

Our constitution made by military is one of the the major problems we have.

Not according to ancient Portuguese and Dutch explorers who visited the city.

Here's some research from 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.”

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.

What impressed the first visiting Europeans most was the wealth, artistic beauty and magnificence of the city.

The city was split into 11 divisions, each a smaller replication of the king’s court, comprising a sprawling series of compounds containing accommodation, workshops and public buildings – interconnected by innumerable doors and passageways, all richly decorated with the art that made Benin famous.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.''

But it’s the brown skinned that owned and controlled most famous ancient cities like Babylon, Cush, Canaan, Israel, Arab, Egypt, America, etc. Brown-skinned owned and controlled all ancient scientific tools, discoveries, etc.. Most are agriculturalists, industrialists, economists, investors, travelers, world leaders, etc.. Jacob as a brown skinned man was the first to make male goats and sheep to give birth. Nimrod as a brown skinned was the first to discover the hunting skills in the forest, that’s where he met and was possessed of a demon of forest which led him to build ONE WORLD building of tower against God’s will. Noah as a brown skinned was the first to discover the direction of winds upon the sea. Abraham as brown skinned first to discover symbols and galaxies of stars. Adam as brown skinned discovered the nature and characteristics of animals and plants, hence gave them names by their nature and instincts. Moses as a brown skinned was first to discover the scientific creation of God called the CIRCULAR FIRMAMENT AND FLAT EARTH WITH BOUNDS. Jonah as brown skinned was the first to discover the channels of waters and level of sea with the pillars of earth. Job as a brown skinned was the first to discover the circuit of the heaven, scientifically called ozone layer. Many to say!!

-They stole our lands, inventions, ideas, identity, history, discovery, etc and placed our forefathers on generational bewitchments through magical powers, DNA alteration, demonic vaccination, memory destruction, racial spell, school indoctrination, media lies, etc... through the order of the Roman beastie leaders..

-Remember the scripture of Daniel about “10 toes of the beast.” Meaning Romans altered the old world and established the New World by dividing and sharing the world into ten parts which names were not found in the scripture; America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, South Asia, Central Asia, Australia and New Zealand, South America, North Africa and Middle East, and other Africa.

What then is AFRICA? Where does it derived from? Africa is a Roman word given to the brown-skinned race means sunny i.e free from cold. ITS A MOCKERY! The white skinned are mostly leprous in nature that they can’t survive under hot sun, more reason they enslaved our forefathers and dumped them in sunny part of the earth, but to God be the glory the weather is more favourable.

You doubt? There are scriptural evidence that our ancient Hebrew forefathers lived in the snow fall areas of the earth before the enemies’ invasion..

Prophecy of the ancient Hebrew prophet Maccabees stated clearly that heathenous nations (white leprous skinned) would take over our land, steal our identity, manipulate our history, etc. Check also David’s prophecy in Psalm 83.. And three nations God foretold would be scattered among the heathenous nations and would no where be found in their lands are mainly EGYPT, ISRAEL AND ARAB.

Till today, many brown-skinned race don’t really know their roots because their fathers were mostly bewitched and lost their memories to tell their children and grand children their roots.

Thank God for the great awakening going on this last days. Book of Joel chapter 3 is gradually manifesting as many brown skinned have identified their roots. The lost Hebrews of Judah shall return to God through Jesus Christ (James 1:1) because the spirits of truth is breathed upon many Africans for the great awakening.. Heaven is our eternal home and rest..

The words of an ignorant, lost donkey.

The reason why Africa keeps having problems is because of idiots like you. Change starts with honesty. When you truly access yourself and judge yourself, only then can you define who you want to be become.


I know there are stupid books like "How Europe Underdevelop Africa" and so on. All these, including your useless Portuguese quote are all tactics to keep Africa in perpetual illusion.

Firstly, there was no Africa culture that could read or write before Africa made contact with the external world. Except Ethiopia. Let me ask, of what material was your "magnificent" Oba palace made of? Because we know that Africa did not have the technology to make iron not bricks before contact with the external world.

When Pythagoras was writing complex mathematical formulas in 580BC or when Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object is equal to its weight and invented the hand pump (that most parts of Africa can still not afford today) in 214 BC, Most parts of Africa were still walking naked. The terracotta "civillization" wey we dey carry for head, did not appear in Africa until Africa made contact with the external world. Almost all the technologies required for making clothing were not indigenous to Africa.

The truth is fools like you can keep on deceiving yourselves that Africa was masterpiece until foreigners came to destroy it. Have you asked yourself how many European came to colonise the entire African continent of millions of "sophisticated people"? It took less than few decades for German to rebuild the country and create over $5tr economy. The entire GDP of Africa of over 1 billlion people is less than $1.3tr. What stops Africa from recreating herself?

I know that idiots like you wouldn't like to hear the truth. Keep protesting and wallowing in poverty.

Considering the message you're trying to convey, not a very thoughtful question since mankind originated in Africa.

Asia, South America and Europe did not change mankind as much as mankind changed these places. In orther words much of that which took place in Europe, Asia and the Americas would have happened in Africa in addition or in conflict with much that took place in Africa. Consequently, either mankind destroyed itself or mankind would be more advanced than it is now.

Taking into consideration the different species of hominids that became extinct outside Africa in addition to those that became extinct in Africa, some of them leaving thire genes in Morden humans, why Africa would have been a dynamic place. Today Africans might have become multi-planetary.
