Several major empires and kingdoms flourished in what is now Nigeria before colonialism:

1. Kanem-Bornu Empire (c. 700–1900s): Located in the northeastern part of modern Nigeria, it was one of the longest-lasting African empires. The Kanem-Bornu Empire was influential in the trans-Saharan trade and was known for its military strength and Islamic scholarship.

2. Sokoto Caliphate (1804–1903): A large Islamic state founded by Usman dan Fodio during the Fulani Jihad. It controlled much of northern Nigeria and part of neighboring regions. The caliphate was a major center of Islamic culture, trade, and scholarship.

3. Oyo Empire (c. 1400–1835): Located in the southwestern part of Nigeria, it was the most powerful Yoruba state. The Oyo Empire was known for its sophisticated political structure, trade, and military prowess, particularly its cavalry.

4. Benin Empire (c. 1180–1897): Located in the southern part of Nigeria (not to be confused with the modern country of Benin), the Benin Empire was a highly advanced and organized state known for its art, particularly the famous Benin Bronzes, as well as its trade relations with Europeans.

5. Hausa City-States (c. 1000–1800s): Located in northern Nigeria, these were independent states like Kano, Zaria, and Katsina, which were centers of trade, learning, and Islamic scholarship. The Hausa states were later incorporated into the Sokoto Caliphate after the Fulani Jihad.

6. Nri Kingdom (c. 900–1911): Located in southeastern Nigeria, the Kingdom of Nri was ruled by the Igbo people and had a unique system of governance based on religious and moral authority rather than military power.

These empires and kingdoms played critical roles in the political, economic, and cultural history of the region that is now Nigeria.

This is one of the reasons why i respect Egypt, Ethipia, Syria and Greece. They've managed to maintain the name and the territory from then to now

Egypt was never conquered at any point despite threatning expansive wars from Greece and Mongollia

Shame on Babylon and Assyria that werent strong enough to resist those world powers

The territories once occupied by Assyria and Babylonia are part of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran.

Just point him in the right direction. No one knows it all.

STOP talking thrash. The black man doesn't have history. He has no alphabetical means of writing, but only oral history which is not valid as it is corruptible.
Africa and indeed the blacks are useless and never contributed to the human development and advancements.
If in doubt, see Buhari and Tinubu, are they useful even with power given to them?

yungrylex00:

Please don’t mind that ignorant dunce.

Black Africans INVENTED writing.

Hieroglyphs were the African writing system thousands of years ago, and it was from hieroglyphs that EVERY other writing system on Earth descended including Arabic, the Chinese script and Latin.

Do you know that even the number system of 1, 2, 3 up to 10 was invented by black African Moors?

The Moors were black West Africans who ruled most of Europe between 711 and 1492. Nearly 800 years.

It was the Moors that revived literacy in Europe after many centuries of stagnation following the collapse of Rome.

In fact in Europe today, there are statues of the Moors in public buildings etc, and festivals are held celebrating the Moorish past, where thousands of white people paint their faces black, and wear Moorish African costumes.

Egypt was conquered by Alexander the Great of Macedonia and he named a city after himself called Alexandria, that city is still in Egypt till this day. The Romans also conquered and Ruled Egypt, don’t forget Augustus, Marc Antony and Cleopatra.
