A lot of persons don't understand this today. But in the past, say 100 years ago, the White Man saw Africans as barbaric people that had made no innovations whatsoever. Discoveries like the Nok cultural artifacts helped to clear their subjective and racist views. But sadly Africans still don't realise the worth of any of their heritage, neither is the contemporary generation of Africans ready to leave any legacy for the future.

I have always maintain that prior to the invasion of the African soil, civilization of the black race was light years above that of the white. But they came, invaded us, raped our common good and threw us into the dark. 24 Likes 1 Share |

What will the white man do with these sculpture? He would put them in a museum and be looking at them for ages. Well, these are not the trending things for us down here in these times. Kukuma being your dollars or we give you Lala snakes in abundance. 1 Like 1 Share |

More of this post OP, enough of Gossip about celebrity secret lives and the palaver of pastor Sule. Perhaps,this will rejuvenate the love we have for the nation. I remember I did it in my 100 level under Nigerian people and culture. It's quite educative wish I can like it a million times 5 Likes 1 Share |

Nice piece however it doesn't talk about the Nok script. I thought I would get more info on that. Amazing to think those guys could write and read. |

Excellent topic OP. However that map is quite misleading. While Samun Dukiya, Taruga and Jos are the main sites of discovery, what is today known as Nok culture extends from the Northern edges of Ogbomosho, Makurdi and Ilorin to beyond Sokoto and Katsina into the southern part of the Republic of Niger. Unfortunately, 90% of the Nok sites have been looted by Europeans (in wicked collusion with stupid Nigerians) leaving nothing but the shell of a once great civilization 8 Likes 1 Share

1,500 years before the mythical Jesus, these ancient Nigerians were making iron tools. So basically they had perfected the technology of smelting iron ore; removing impurities; and regulating the amount of carbon in the alloy. This is no small feat. I wonder how many metal-work industries we have in this country today - I guess one could say our ancestors were technologically more advanced than we are today. And don't quote me to talk about your iphone, laptop and plasma tv. Don't come and be bragging about Asian/American products. Shame on all of you. 22 Likes 4 Shares |
