Chanchit:That's what am saying na. Covering up doesn't equate civiliazation. Covering up sometimes is akin to style,religion,weather conditions and preference not a sense of achievement. Does it make you better than more advanced people(non Nigerians) walking around topless in the 19th and 20th century? Camera? Post pictures of the first yoruba women covered by European cameras. We need to change our sense of reasoning,we think so lowly about fellow Africans. 1 Like |

icnsystem:True, but tbh, they were no more "closer to nature" than other civilizations of the time, who in turn were compared to today as you said. They were just as advanced as China, Egypt or Aztec and even commenced environmental pollution that's ongoing today from excessive deforestation. Read up on the Oyo empire because they were notorious. |

hahn:I don't know why the likes of you are allowed to flaunt your ignorance on these boards. I guess it's just the sad state of education in Nigeria. The more educated people here would like to know how this constitutes "semi-primitiveness"? [img]http://1.bp..com/_QVW98iGMXHI/Sx3dkFLN6rI/AAAAAAAAJws/VRNIvtM91No/s640/storeyhouses.jpg[/img] Let's look at the ordinary man too. Not the grandest in Nigeria at the time. But no sane man educated on history would call that "semi-primitive" with a serious intent. And while you're at it, elaborate on why women's chests are "immoral" and where you acquired that insane troll logic from. Couldn't be your beloved whiteman could it? 2 Likes |

Lol. Yeah, no matter how you look at it that IS primitive. Thatch castles with bamboo? Come on bro. So, fully clothed white women landed on African soil and met with Queens who left their breats bare for the whole world to see and you mean to tell me that whites taught us how to walk around half nude? Plssssss Stop being on the defence for once and accept the fact that we ARE primitive. There's nothing wrong with that. Even europeans at one time in history were just as or even more crude. The fact is, without accepting one's fault it will be overtly impossible to improve. Instead of trying to defend our errors let's face them and work towards improving on ourselves. If we can imitate wearing of suits and ties or using technology then I do believe it is not out of sanity to also imitate what will help us grow as a people. kingston277: |

Clothing only has one functional purpose, protection. Beyond that, the relevance of clothing varies based on cultural worldviews. It is ignorance to associate clothing with civilization. Doing such is akin to saying that a culture of with no paid police force has no concept of law and order. Statements like that make you out to be a poor student of human history. 2 Likes |

hahn: Boy the Whiteman must be a caveman by your logic. The Chinese really need some civilizing. Even the Arabs take pride in their "semi-primitiveness". I bet you don't even know the definition of the word but yet you keep throwing it around at anything that isn't made by whites, no matter how rudimentary it is. hahn: Oh, you mean the same white women who walk around shirtless in Europe and NA? http://www.girlsaskguys.com/sexual-health/q681599-why-european-women-okay-with-being-naked-or http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topfreedom_in_Canada http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_the_Nipple_%28campaign%29 So after a century of indoctrinating your gullible grandparents into believing the crap you just regurgitated on female chests. These same white women are now fighting for topfreedom and normalization of female chests. And you're still stuck in your old ways of thinking that the rest of the world left behind when doctors announced that there are minimal if almost nonexistent differences between male and female chests beyond size. hahn:Why would I agree that a people who built the world's largest earthwork, produced the worlds highest grade steel until the 19th century, built submarines out of canoes, has had numerous architecture as runner up on Unesco's world wonders, we're one of the first to practise ironworking, developed scripts, put together some of the world's most sophisticated irrigation, had some of the wealthiest empires the world has ever seen, and have sailed as far as China, etc as primitive? I fear the Nigerian education system is worse than I thought if you find it okay to show such apathy for human achievements on the grounds of skin colour. If that's how you reason Then you have no grounds to speak on African history. There is a reason the general world historian community has written several works debunking the very words you typed and have spent half a century successfully debating the likes of you. 2 Likes |

All the "achievements" by our ancestors mean absolutely nothing if the modern day Africa still wallows in abject poverty, lack of electricity, diseases(ebola, which in this case the cure was created by the "whites" whome you detest so much), hunger, tribal wars and every anti-development situation you can think of. And you really can't compare that building in the pic with jaja's crib man. What's wrong with you? The Arabs you talk about see the negro as a totally inferior race. Why would you even bother comparing yourself to them? Yes, white ladies walk around halfnude but even you, no matter how deluded you are, can't ignore how Africans condemn such actions NOW. Right now in Africa, a lady can't get molested and raped in broad daylight for putting on a see through dress. Not in all cases but it has happened. Africans criticize nudity even more than the whites. Take your head out of the butt of THEN and smell the fart of NOW. Africa is a shadow of its past glory and its very annoying to have to waste my precious battery life, since there is no fuel to power my gen, to chat with a low self-esteemed afro american(or whatever you like to be called these days) over what is going on PRESENTLY in Africa as opposed to what you've read in your history books. kingston277: |
