OP is making an interest point. The Yorubas may have not learn their lessons from the past. If not for British colonial interference, the Yorubas were engaged in a body genocidal civil war. For those interested in Yoruba history I will post an ebook with this message. |
Culture / Re: As Traditional Dance Going Extinct In Nigeria… by Adeba01(m): 10:13pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
I feel that sadly there are more chances of Nigeria's tribal languages disappearing than any traditional dances disappearing anytime soon 1 Like |

I actually remember reading a historical book written about the Yorubas. It actually mentions that traditionally Yorubas are not a seafaring people, so they were not prone to settle in the coast, but due to the Fulani attempted conquest the Yorubas were pushed further south. Interesting. |

I think the OP is too exotic to resemble Yoruba, you clearly see in her admixture. Having been around Yoruba people she would not be able to pass completely. 2 Likes |

Culture / Re: Olden Days Yorubas Did Not Encourage Reading Or Writing, It Was Forbidden by Adeba01(m): 10:18pm On Mar 03, 2020 |
To be honest without the Europeans we would have been largely Oral and I would have not been able to understand nor write what I am writing |

Culture / Re: I Hate White People by Adeba01(m): 3:44am On Mar 03, 2020 |
MandingueMandik: You're absolutely right to me white people are the most unreasonable people, as a result you cannot reason with them. Chinese people are a lot better than them. I think it is better that as black African people we dismiss and disregard their way of life and go back to live the way our honourable ancestors lived their lives, in village communities and living a self reliant way of life. The more we imitate them the worse off we are |

MercyMacjoe: I find somali girls highly overrated as well a lot of them have that inbred look about them (the same thing with arab and indian girls). Oddly enough, despite my non interest in then they always seem to go towards me like as if they are trying to ask me out but I shun them as I have no attraction towards them. |

Muh.... I find hausa / fulani girls highly overrated in their beauty I don't see any attraction they are like oyinbo girls, they don't have any curves unlike southern Nigerian girls |
Culture / Re: The Urhobo Boy by Adeba01(m): 3:15am On Mar 03, 2020 |
Nice story OP. I feel that ignorance is more innocent and better than knowledge. I think that is why Africans are losing their dignity and respect as more and more I wanting to live and become oyinbo |
Culture / Interesting Proposal By English Anthropologist by Adeba01(m): 2:45am On Mar 03, 2020 |
Sir Francis Galton proposed a permanent settlement of chinese in east Africa, that would have eventually led to the complete replacement of the black people in that part of Africa. I feel that this is relevant to today's current affairs; particularly in Africa as Africa is witnessing greater communication and transactions with China. Maybe it may lead to the chinese, forming their own territory or land space in Africa; and as a result black Africans will find themselves exterminated and displaced, in the same way the indigenous native americans and Australian aborigines got sadly exterminated. Personally for me I feel it was a big mistake for Africans to have fought and demanded for independence from their former colonial European nations, as they (the African nations) were better managed and the African nations under colonisation had better law and order and enjoyed greater prosperity under colonisation. The colonial officers did a better job managing and running the country than any corrupt African leader has done. Ironically, being independent has made Africans to be more interdependent as they are running away to come to Europe and the Americas. There was a time where Africans loved and preferred their own homelands and would never leave it what has happened to that mindset? Attached for viewing is a copy of the original document wherein Francis Galton states his idea of the Chinese settling Africa.
