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?
It doesn't take much to know an ignorant self hating goat and written historical accounts are valid because it's written by whom to favour whom? Under the guidance/ authority of whom?
Even if we had no written languages then we had symbols and evidences to back our oral history. You're just a sick, self hating degenerate fool

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.

Sorry you did not get your history right bro.
Egypt was actually conquered by Macedonia, under Alexander the Great.

Again, Egypt was colonized by Britain.
Do you want to discuss its history?

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.

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

The early roman empire during the reign of Cicero, Julius ceaser and Pompeii, held sway over Egypt. As a matter of fact, Cleopatra and Mark Anthony, her lover and father of some of her kids committed suicide as a result of fear of imprisonment and torture from the invading Romans whom they had been trading with.

The name may have been unchanged but they had not always been politically autonomous.

We need to make African History a COMPULSORY subject in primary and secondary schools, to eliminate this sort of imbecilic reasoning, self hatred and inferiority complex among our people.

It’s a real tragedy.

INDIA used to be known as EASTERN ETHIOPIA.

In fact Herodotus, Europe’s ‘father of history’, referred to India as ‘EASTERN ETHIOPIA’.

Why?

Because the original Indians were settlers from Ancient Ethiopia, and were known in India as the Dravidians.

It was the black Dravidians who civilised India and built the Indus Valley civilisation.

After a few thousand years they were invaded by white Aryans from the north who warred with them for centuries, until they succumbed, and then racial intermarriage led to the mixture we have today.

Indian cuisine is almost the exact same thing as Ethiopian cuisine today.

Shikena:
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.

Salute your insights 👍
