Yes .Now I get why they don't support the igbos . i totally get it . Igbos need to be tamed like pets and not allowed to roam free . Igbos lack manners . Now I underastand why alot of african american and jamaicans might have igbo ancestry.
You see when Akwa cross wants to secede ,it will be done in a civilized and cooperative manner . You exude civility to get it in return.

I see. . . .

It is OK for Nigeria to aggressively "tame" Igbos.
But it is not ok for Igbos to aggressively seek to secede.

Conclusion ==> Aggression is bad, but aggression is good when it originates from the Nigerian side.

10$ for the first low-IQ African moronn to translate this passage into his native language:


"But the difference of space is essentially a determinate, qualitative difference. As such it is (a) first, the negation of space itself because this is immediate and undifferentiated self-externality, the point. (b) The negation as negation, however, is itself spatial, and the relation of the point to space is the line, the first otherness of the point. (c) The truth of the otherness is, however, the negation of the negation. The line, therefore, passes over into the plane, which on the one hand is a determinacy opposed to line and point, and thus is plane in general, but on the other hand is the suspended negation of space, and thus the re-establishment of spatial totality, which, however, now contains the negative moment within itself an enclosing surface, which splits off an individual, whole space."

What the above writer was trying to communicate is a concept, an idea, a mental picture...a description of some observable abstract or concrete reality.
As such it can be expressed in far fewer words in a language with a native understanding of the idea, concept or description being conveyed.

For example, the word acceleration is a Latin derived word is used to describe the rate of increase/decrease of speed.
It was coined by Western scientists when researching statics and dynamics.
While a coined word, acceleration today is accepted as an English word.
It might actually take 2 or more sentences to describe what is called "acceleration" in today's spoken Yoruba.
Such a verbose description would be equally as valid as the very succinct word "acceleration".
A culture or people who decided to independently research dynamics or statics...will invariably come up with their own words to describe
rates of change of direction, height, weight, speed, mass, volume etc.

Point is...it does not have to mirror other people's definitions which might even be unnecessarily verbose or not precise enough.
For example, the Eskimos have a very fine vocabulary of words for "snow" and the different ways of describing "snow behaviour".
Whereas in the English speaking world, the word "snow","sleet" suffice to describe frozen atmospheric water vapour, Central Siberian Yupik has 40 such terms, while the Inuit dialect spoken in Canada’s Nunavik region has at least 53, including “matsaaruti,” for wet snow that can be used to ice a sleigh’s runners, and “pukak,” for the crystalline powder snow that looks like salt.

Check this out from this article from the Washington Post

For example, a single term might encompass a whole sentence in English: In Siberian Yupik, the base “angyagh” (boat) becomes “angyaghllangyugtuqlu” to mean “what’s more, he wants a bigger boat.” This makes compiling dictionaries particularly difficult: Do two terms that use the same base but a different ending really represent two common idioms within a language, or is the difference simply a speaker’s descriptive flourish? Both are possible, and vocabulary lists could quickly snowball if an outsider were to confuse the two — a criticism often leveled at Boas and his disciples.

If you have not figured it out yet...this is meat of it...the idea or concept being conveyed by the German in your quote does not have to be that verbose. At the end of the day, the writer is trying to describe an observed aspect of abstract or concrete reality.
Some African people if they want/like/endeavour can actually invent a single word or phrase to convey the exact same meaning your writer was trying to express.
It could be a single word or it could be more verbose.
Point is...it can be done today. The words and terminologies just have to be invented to describe all the observations, units and measurements. Just as ohms, volts, meters, farads, torque, inertia etc. were all invented by your white masters.

So holding up that abstract writeup in German on analytical geometry as a proof of the backwardness of African languages is well...just lame IMO. Propositional logic,negation,conjunction, disjunction, perpendicularity, orthogonality, Banach spaces, partial differentiation...are all symbolical and arbitrary inventions by Westerners and others to describe aspects of observed and measured phenomena.
Any similar effort done in say Fulbe or Xhosa would be equally valid as long as it coherent and meaningful to the readers.

If you give a hoot about Africa, you should actually start speaking and writing in one of the widely spoken languages like Hausa.

I don't have time to read all this. And if I did spend the time to read it i'm sure that time would have been wasted. Condense your point into one paragraph next time.

StarFlux:
You're a very funny man, and certainly not a linguist. Nearly all scientific terms in English are French lol! What are you even talking about? Amalgamated calcification of mollusk shells. Lol! Three French words in less than one sentence. French is a very accurate language, so gender agreement actually clears up many ambiguities. As I've said before: any language can do extensive borrowing. Nothing special about it. You might as well speak French as it is the original source language of nearly everything science-related in English.

Okay. So it had nothing to do with British and American dominance during WW2 and colonial powers. If you're going to come with ridiculous statements such as the one above, source it. Every one knows English as a world language has nothing to do with what you're saying, it's all tied to historical roots.


That English is capable of the most nuance, is a mere myth. Feel free to feed your own bias, but that doesn't make it more or less true.

There are published books released on Yoruba scientific terms. Feel free to browse a little: http://www.amazon.com/ENGLISH-SCIENCE-TECHNOLOGY-HANDBOOK-%C3%8CW%C3%89-%C3%8CL%C3%89W-ebook/dp/B00EXXDORQ

You can see for yourself the accuracy of the Yoruba language (same with many of our other native languages) and how it doesn't need to borrow words to express scientific ideas. Instead it binds words together like a thread. Elegantly. English can't do that, hence it borrowed.

bla bla bla, this is not a discussion over which European language is better. I really couldn't care less. You monkeys are trying to derail my point with strawman arguments. The fact of the matter is that all of them are better than African languages; French, German, Italian, Russian etc.

And this is because they evolved with a writing system.

I personally think the Lingua Franca of Africa should be English for self evident reasons. If you disagree that is just your stupidity, anyone with basic understanding of the world would not need to be convinced into this point of view.

And finally: The Yoruba language is not usable for science, you cant even go an entire day speaking Yoruba without inserting English vocabulary. No amount of brainless black arguing will change that fact.

Well first the dog has to understand what the passage is saying, which will never happen. He will get closer at understanding it than you monkeys though

The ancient Black European languages can be linked to their African roots. This is not a pro-Biafra post and I am not even an Igbo native language speaker, so do not get knee-jerk. I am a Nigerian in Nigeria, ready to use any available Nigerian language with sufficient research findings.

The Late Prof Ubianuju Acholonu had done a lot of research in using Igbo Column writing to decipher ancient scripts.

http://www.carcafriculture.org/articles1.htm

Ogam script was used 5,000 years ago in Northern Ireland and it exists in the Virginia Petroglyphs, which have been deciphered using the
Igbo column writing. Attempts at using Basque Language to decipher the Ogam script failed. It is not impossible that other Nigerian languages can be used. The success in using Igbo is because it has somehow retained a lot of the early language it is derived from.

http://www.carcafriculture.org/Docs/Ogam%20stone%20inscriptions%20igbo%20column%20writings.doc

The ozo stick writing has similarities to Linear A. Our so-called tribal marks or our faces are writing systems whose meanings we have lost.

The current Greek Alphabet is derived from Phoenician, after the Migration/Invasion of Caucasians into Greece that caused the Dark Age of Greece.

All languages and writing have a common source from Black People in Africa. Which language did it originate from?

As for those who believe that Africans should go outside Africa and learn Asian Languages to be civilized, it has been already
been said by Sat Guru Maharaj Ji The Living Perfect Master, that "Sanskrit is the first language spoken by human beings, and Sanskrit originated
here in Nigeria".
For those who may complain that this a religious post, I cannot plagiarize someone else's statement. So, I have to quote my sources, whoever those sources may be.

Nice comeback. Bla, bla, bla is all you can say apparently. I just gave you a link to a collection of scientific terms in Yoruba and you answer by repeating the same nonsense yet again. Lol! It's like talking to a brick wall - unwilling to learn and accept fault. Oh well, that's your own shortcoming.

Perhaps it is your own lack of imagination and vision that makes you blind as a monkey.

You just confirmed what i had always suspected from ya tortured posts.
You are just a bored, self hating black youngin awed by the world of the whites.
You sound Igbo through and through… cos ya latent inferiority complex seeps thru ya rants.
Could be wrong tho… but you definitely lack a sense of historical pride.
No proud Bini, Ijaw, Efik, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani or even well read Igbo man would dare suggest the silly stuff you keep drooling all over the place. There is no sense of african pride… no matter how silly in ya rants.
Take it or leave it… Africa has a well known problem of leadership. It is not a derivative or factor of population. Neither is it tied to whatever shade of intelligence you fantasise about.
Men and women will arise in africa to the challenge. I know you and ya self hating ilks wont be among them.

Whoever stated that African languages do not have a word for yellow, should get off his high horse and travel around the continent. Swahili has almost every colour described, yellow is njano or manjano, a word that is derived from the name of a yellowish plant. In fact I don't think apart from Arabic there's any other African language as widely published and spoken as is Swahili. There are political, scientific, technical, etc dictionaries being published and developed every year by Kenyan and Tanzanian universities. So before you make your points do the proper research!!

Black people need to learn how to take pride in things because they are good, not just because they are old.

African languages are regressive, primitive and backwards. They serve no purpose but to divide African nations and cause hostility between peoples who are essentially the same. This is 2015 what the hell is the value of a language that doesn't even have a word for yellow, or have any measure of degree or even a vocabulary beyond a 10 year old level? Language is the fabric of thoughts and one who has a primitive, backwards language will have primitive and backwards thoughts.

This is why all pointless African tribes on this maps should be eliminated and formed into a few major groups; Lingala, Hausa, [size=18pt]Swahili[/size], Amharic, Somali, Arabic, Yoruba and Igbo. The only other language used in Africa should be English.

What the hell is so good about these "African cultures and traditions" anyway? Where these not the same cultures and traditions that left us 600 years behind the rest of the world? Wake the hell up and cut away this silly degenerate nonsense. It is only a hindrance to our development. We can start new cultures and new traditions, this trash doesn't have value just because its old.

Yeah i can see why nobody takes you seriously, do you feel happy when you insult other people, do you feel special when you think you are more intelligent than the rest, we have a name for you where i come from.
Remember you were the first to note that African languages are regressive and primitive, if you are so intelligent you should know how to present your arguments logically without contradicting yourself, the fact that you can barely string together a logical argument tells a lot about how you think, probably why it's so hard to sell your ideas here to people who know their stuff.

Where the Bleep did you go to school, because that in philosophy and argumentative logic is called a contradiction so go learn how to argue intelligently before you expect people like me who know their stuff to take you seriously.

You know what your problem is: It's not that you make invalid arguments, but that you make them and think that they are not falsifiable and when somebody points out a small blip you flip, call them morons and declare yourself more intelligent. No man, that isn't how people present their arguments and expect critical feedback.

Word of advice, you have massively unchecked behavioural issues, listen to what everybody is saying around you before you dig a hole too deep to jump out by yourself.

I did not say that all African languages are primitive and i did not say that some african languages primitive. I said "African languages are primitive" it can be inferred that this was a generalization. Generalizations are things that are generally true.

African languages are generally primitive and pointless to exist, there are some exceptions, which are the ones I listed.

If you had come to me asking for clarification of what i meant i would have respected your post. However this is not what you did.

My consistency on this policy is water-tight. If your response is logical it will be respected, if it is emotional and illogical you will be insulted.

That is what I'm talking about, learn how to structure your argument so that they're fool proof, you do make good arguments, but these small mistakes are what brings about small misunderstandings and unnecessary criticisms. However even the smart people in Africa will have a hard time selling these ideas to the general masses who barely have a clue how these changes will directly benefit them.

You are only saying i make good arguments because I think that Swahili is a good language. If I had said Swahili was a regressive language you would be saying my arguments are "terrible racist bla bla bla"

I have no illusions about you people and your ability for critical unbiased thought. It is zero.

Good luck selling your ideas, I've also noticed that you generally have little to no understanding about how/what the general population thinks, feels and cares about, you are so removed from reality that it's hopeless trying to argue with you.

And yes you do make good arguments because I've been trying to advocate for more Swahili usage in my country and your ideas kind of almost rhyme with mine, but your attitude towards your fellow black man is rotten and is even infecting how you think and eventually how you will be making decisions, you are generally bitter and frustrated, it screams in your posts, be careful man not everybody is as accommodating and understanding as I am.

You think I don't understand what regular people think and care about, rest assured I do. I just don't care, they are stupid and i'm not really trying to convince a stupid person into my way of thinking. Low IQ people are convinced by rhetoric, not by logic. There is a time and place for rhetoric and it isn't here. What is done here is meaningless, If i decide to make a difference it will be in real life not on the internet.

Stop trying to diagnose a stranger on the internet, you don't know me. This is a whole lot more complicated than just being "bitter and angry,"If it was actually angry I wouldn't be able to shut it on and off like i do. The fact of the matter is; if you want to talk to the real me then give me a reasonable and logical reply and if you want to talk to my online alter ego you get the drill. I think that's fair. The people who deserve respect get respected and I get to save myself the torment of trying to reason with someone who doesn't respond to logic.

A big problem in this society is that low intelligence/knowledge people do not acknowledge their limitations or know their place. They think they can go from filling their brain with Nollywood, Kardashians and gossip and then go on to argue about linguistics. I respond to these types people in the way I feel is appropriate.

As for my opinion about blacks, they are not as extreme as I am portraying them with the "monkey" stuff but the situation is serious. I want to insult people and I want them to be offended. Their comfortable world of ineptitude, low IQ, scapegoating and ignorance needs to be shattered. No African has the right to be racially comfortable and secure while their race is in the condition that its in. I will stop calling blacks monkeys when blacks stop behaving like monkeys all over the world.

OP, what a nonsense write up, have you studied how India, China and Japan developed, they made their language number one priority, even in schools their lecturers teaches with their local language, what abt their native attire, the most expensive attire in the world is India attire cuz of the material. Subscribe to every stupid western policies e. g SAP, Austerity measure to facilitate development? Go nd read the consequences of these two western policies then come bk and argue with me. Economy is the superstructure of societal development not culture according to Carl Marx. If economy is good society will be fine nd develop and civilisation will penetrate, Society can develop with altering culture. Culture itself can facilitate development except genital mutilation or circumcision

OP, what a nonsense write up, have you studied how India, China and Japan developed, they made their language number one priority, even in schools their lecturers teaches with their local language, what abt their native attire, the most expensive attire in the world is India attire cuz of the material. Subscribe to every stupid western policies e. g SAP, Austerity measure to facilitate development? Go nd read the consequences of these two western policies then come bk and argue with me. Economy is the superstructure of societal development not culture according to Carl Marx. If economy is good society will be fine nd develop and civilisation will penetrate, Society can develop with altering culture. Culture itself can facilitate development except genital mutilation or circumcision

Interesting! Now how will the economy develop when the people fight each other every few years and elect leaders based on ethnicity instead of competence?

Btw are you aware that Japan only speaks one major language family ( and actually had a policy of conflating its dialects into mainstream Japanese) while Nigeria speaks 250 very different languages and is making no attempt to homogenize them? did this basic difference escape you? As for India 40% of the population speaks Hindi, no other language carries more than 10% of the population. Despite their situation being a little better than Africas its still an impediment to their development and only works because many tribes and castes are completely marginalized

Africa needs to keep its large lingua francas (including English) and conflate is small oral languages into something that is more manageable, every successful country has done this. They recognize that excess linguistic diversity makes a country weaker

Well,i agree with you Op.

while I can agree that tribalism is holding Africa back I don't think its the languages that's the source of the problem as for culture that's kind of a 50/50.

most of Africa speaks English or Arabic and its still behind so just getting rid of the languages wont change things magically as for culture again it depends because some African countries adopted foreign concepts and that hasn't help much.
