Havertz10:Tell me where I mentioned enlightenment as you claimed. Maybe you think civilization is the same as enlightenment, but it's not. |

A001:only enlightenment can bring sustainable civilization I stated that Europeans brought enlightenment to africa and you claimed that it's not true I said that African supposed civilization wasn't a civilization but a tragedy waiting to happen because their foundational principle was flawed and based on barbaric practices, you said that they were great, that all civilizations fall i'm now telling you that any civilization built on rational foundations can never fall The only reason Europeans attained enlightenment was because they explored, they traveled and learnt different cultural habits and practices it's this premise that led to the age of enlightenment The biggest benefactor of it is actually America Age of enlightenment led to the French revolution, american founding fathers created a constitution modeled after French national assembly constitution created during the French revolution Civil liberties and freedom for all its people, rational systematic procedures Religion and government aren't aligned in America, forget all those god bless America that their politicians say, American societal and social system is very secular, there is no mention of religion in their constitution, there is a very clear separation between church and state Scopes monkey trial self dey but i'm tired of typing Civilization thrives and advances, if it's foundational principle is logical, if it's based on religion and superstitious practices, it's a tragedy waiting to happen 1 Like |

Havertz10:You clearly know very little about Africa's history. You clearly don't know what you're talking about when you mentioned America when discussing colonization in Africa. How many countries did America colonize? When did the US even become a superpower? Lols. Your argument about enlightenment holds little value when in all eras of human history, religious people have always been in the majority. And an average religionist believes he's enlightened, even though you may feel otherwise. FYI, most, if not all, religions in the world have their bad or barbaric practices. Everything you've been churning out here is the history of Africa as narrated by Europeans, not by African themselves. Yes, the Europeans brought enlightenment to Africa by colonizing, enslaving, and plundering the resources of most African countries. Lols. Read more about such enlightenment they brought to Africa below: Belgium’s King Sends Letter of Regret Over Colonial Past in Congo "The first acknowledgment by the royal family of the European country’s brutal actions in central Africa stopped short of an outright apology. It comes as Belgium begins to publicly reckon with the abuses." More: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/30/world/europe/belgium-king-congo.html Only someone that knows very little about the horrors of slavery and colonialism will write those two vices in the same line with enlightenment. Your problem is you think without Western-style education, a person isn't educated, and without understanding English, a person isn't intelligent or enlightened. It's easy to arrive at these deductions from your posts on this subject. If some Africans used to engage in few barbaric religious practices hundreds of years ago, does that mean the whole of Africa did the same? All you've been saying about Africa is what the whites wrote. An informed perspective will contain aspects from both the conquerors and conquered. And only the natives of a land can really narrate an accurate or fairly accurate history of their land, not foreigners, not their conquerors. Can you make a reference to any traditional religion where worshippers had a concensus view about engaging in such barbaric practices? Anyone that knows African history well enough would know African traditional worshippers have diverse religious beliefs, practices, and gods/goddesses. If you think Africans were really savages as the European historians claim, then you should ask yourself why many Greek philosophers got educated in ancient Egypt, a country of blacks going by their writings, inscriptions on walls, statues and pictures of their gods and rulers. The people that built those pyramids were black/African, not Arabs or Europeans as the Euro-centric historians claim. If you think savages could build those pyramids, then you're joking. A number of books of history written by Africans and early Greek authors narrated the history of the ancient black people of Egypt, including Otem's literature and the one shared above. But I understand you must rate those ones as inferior to the ones the white slavemasters wrote since the latter gave you enlightenment. If I dress in a native wear, use beads and cowries for fashion and converse with people in Yoruba most times offline, people like you would say I'm not enlightened. If I teach students in Yoruba, you'd say I'm not educated. To think Europeans traveled thousands of miles through both lands and seas just to bring you enlightenment is a funny claim. You're just arguing about a subject matter you've not taken the time to research on. Going by your comments, it's clear you know next to nothing about ancient Egyptian civilizations, Old Mali Empires, and the other empires mentioned above to think all these great people engaged in barbaric practices as some European historians might have claimed when they didn't even have a single native religion. FYI, you can be enlightened and civilized by worshiping your native gods and without practicing democracy. Read on the great civilizations and empires of the past that weren't democratic. 4 Likes

A001:I know all about Belgium's escapades in Congo over rubber, I never said that they were saints, who are the saints? Nigerians? How many innocent lives were sacrificed to imaginary gods? Twins that were killed or dissidents that were slaughtered for being opinionated, we all have blood on our hands, rest with the agenda You have implied repeatedly that Africa would have advanced into a civilized society if colonization never happened, that claim is my issue, there is no evidence to back such assertions Because Africans were at no point enlightened and even being outspoken against norms in the land was met with death Most of these issues predate religion particularly in the south So I ask again, why are you promoting African exceptionallity, when there was never anything exceptional about those barbaric neanderthals 1 Like |

While I understand Teejay is angry and has issues with the way the colonial masters treated our forebearers, I don't really understand what he's trying to achieve by saying some of those things the whitemen documented about some barbaric acts done in the past really did not happen. I mean look at the whiteman's account of the invasion of Benin kingdom; they mentioned human sacrifices being made, slaves being hung on stake to appease the gods, etc. You may want to believe these things didn't happen but was figment of the whiteman's imagination, however if u look at some communities even in this present day who still carry out human sacrifices, oro festivals that prohibits women from coming in contact with or else such woman will never be seen again, etc.....Then u should be able to deduce most of these things(if not all) did happen. For the umpteenth time, religion is not the reason Africa is the way it is....rather it's our own people with their own vices ranging from corruption, tribalism, that have caused our own woes. 4 Likes |

You have eyes to see the future yet you and Ibime could not see that Abraham would never make it at Chelsea. Maybe I can decide to start claiming that I have eyes to spot mediocre players.
