The battle of the elephant

King Najash(Negus) the King of Habash(Arabic word for Ethiopia) marched towards Mecca with a large army of men and elephants.He did not win though as Allah (God) sent an army of birds which dealt with the invaders.The Quran in the Chapter of The Elephants says:

''Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
And He sent against them Flights of Birds,
Striking them with stones of baked clay.
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.''

The King wanted to attack Mecca because he was envious that Sanaa the capital of Yemen(his base) was loosing out to Mecca in terms of trade and influence in the Arabian Peninsula!

KING Negus should have taken over that bloody city! Who knows we might never have had Islamic terrorism.

Those who trace back to Abraham should be the first one to have had civilisation,so the early Arabs have it.The early Egyptians should be the first civilisation in Africa followed by the Sudanese Kingdom of Kush and then the Ethiopian civilisation.Mesopotamia(Iraq-Syria) where Abraham came is the first known civilisation! Remember,Arabs are closer to Mesopotamia than Ethiopians,so they trace way back than them!

If it be that Hagar was a Kush/Nubian....then it's true to say that Arabs have African DNA.Because the mother of Father of the modern day Arabs who is Ishmael was a black Egyptian slave probably of Kushite origins!

The earliest civilization was the ancient Mesopotamians i.e the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians and Babylonians.

The earliest Arabs were desert-dwelling nomads and minority vassals to the aforementioned groups. Dont let them Arabs fool you, they and Jews have an ancient score to settle and we all fall for it.

Anything! Culture, History, religion, events, celebrations etc. . .

Well, we have 11 official languages in South Africa. 9 of those are "black languages "- Zulu, Xhosa, Swati, Ndebele, Sotho, Tswana, Pedi, Tsonga & Venda. English & Afrikaans make it 11. Zulu, Xhosa, Swati & Ndebele, collectively they're known as "Nguni languages". We can all understand each other's languages. Meaning that as a Xhosa person, I can understand it when someone speaks to me in any of the Nguni languages. The other 3, Sotho, Tswana & Pedi, they also understand each other since they all belong to the Sotho group of languages. Tsonga & Venda, unlike the other groups, they're on their own so to speak. Most of us don't really speak nor understand their languages. Majority of us either can understand or speak 9 of the 11 official languages (with the exception of Tsonga & Venda). Because people don't understand their languages, most Venda & Tsonga people can speak all 11 languages, so it really worked to their advantage.

There's a lot going on when it comes culture. We have our cultural differences & similarities. Teenage boys have to go for circumcision in all cultures, except for Zulu people. That tradition in their culture stopped during Shaka's reign. He needed the young men at the time, to train them to be warriors & since the circumcision process can take up to several weeks at a time, I guess he felt he couldn't wait that long. As a result, he discontinued the practise. In South Africa, boys are still circumcised the old fashion way. They spend that period in isolation. Women aren't allowed. We don't even know what happens when they're there. After that period is up, there's usually a celebration. Everyone is invited. In the Xhosa culture in particular, noone is a stranger. Whoever you are, you become part of the family when there's a cause for celebration. There's a lot to say on this subject, but I don't have whole night lol. The long & short of it is that we celebrate every stage of human life, so we tend to have a lot of "imicimbi" or social gatherings in English.

Below is a video of a young man coming home from "the mountains"/circumcision school & his family is celebrating his return. The transition from boyhood to manhood is a big deal in our culture, a milestone

LMFAO this people won't stop embarrassing us with this slumish city see how jam park, rough and unplanned the city is

The entire CBD are not even up to VI,the smallest island.


All the tall buildings are juxtaposed on one side, making it look like they are much.

Nairobi is an unplanned neighborhood for the white tourist.


the whites should better give the slumish city some planned zome.


Nairobi has slums because of lack of planning.


The city boats of zero planned area

Any slum area in Lagos still looks planned

We will be celebrating 'Battle of Adwa' after few days. This is how we celebrate year after year.



We have something called 'Guzo Adwa'. Which means trip Adwa. Volunteer youths gather and walk from Addis Ababa to the place where the battle was made. Imagine, addis is on the center of Ethiopia and Adwa is near Eritrea. That is a long way to go.

Ednited, next time ensure when your army gathers at Guzo Adwa you shout Pobiedie Huraaaaa!
