Before you get angry and puff out your heart, we all know that living under the White man even if he is racist at times, is much better than living under the rule of the Black man with his tribalism, witchcraft against Black people, ritual killing against Black people, high level corruption against the good of Black people.


Nigerian (and African) culture is bad. The good if any in it, is overcome by the bad. We so hate ourselves that we cannot trust or work together for our common good. We Blacks do not see the humanity of a Black person. When any non-Black who clearly sees this speaks it we shout: RACISM! RACIST! But the hate we have for one another, and the way we treat one another is worse than any racism.

When a tribe is in power it uses that power to destroy other tribes, and to be unjust to other tribes.

African culture is BAD. It knows nothing about human rights. We need White people to show us how to live. We need White people to show us how to think. We need White people to show us technology. We need White people to show us medicine and hygiene. We need White people to show us what good means. The highest desire and accomplishment of a Black person is to live where the White man rules, is this not true?

The Black man is born equal to any man. But the culture brings him lower than any other man.

Let us look into this culture passed down to us by our forefathers and reject all the bad in it. Otherwise we will remain SAVAGES in heart and behaviour who need the White man to teach us how to live. (And now also the Lebanese, the Indian and the Chinese must be our teacher in life). Is this what we want to keep on being the case for our children? AFRICAN CULTURE IS BAD! Let us admit it and change it.

"Although Blacks are not biologically inferior, they are culturally inferior. They may be educable, but they need Whites to teach them" (Richard Turner) Before you call the man a racist he was not. He was assassinated in 1973 for his anti-apartheid activities.

Truth is what will set us free, not lies.

Nice write up.....Now sit down and Hush....

I still don't get how African culture is bad from your write up

As a man thinketh...

Black represent the devil, white, Angels

When you look in the mirror what do you see? One that is cursed?

Slavery was not a choice but slavery has since become a choice.

The truth will set us free. If we know the truth. What is the truth? The truth is we don't know the truth which is the prerequisite to freedom.

Says who OP.....we didn't even know they existed, till they discovered us.....I no support this your write up

This is a perfect picture of what Biafrans have seen and experienced and decided to extract themselves from that ugliness. Within the Nigerian context (which is part of the global black man in reference.) The Biafran consciousness illuminated to these realities by accident of history of genocide (3 million fellow blacks killed in the the most ruthless fasion by their kind with no remorse while still under global racism that sees black race as subhumans.). At that instance, you don't need a rocket scientist to explain to you, that these are evil cultures coded to backwardness, poverty, religious extremism, tribalism, rejection of mordernity, terrorism, blantant nepotism/impunity and the list goes on.

from the day the blacks all realise they have a problem and the most useless culture in the world their problem and days of suffering is over.

speak for your own sef....

nonesense....

This guy is obviously one of the white demon or a thing sponsored by the those folks, I know the white race doesn't want Africa to be independent, this is one of their weapon, to poison and keep poisoning our minds not to believe and rely on our own culture and heritage.

They don't use gun to enslave again, what they now do is to toy with African psych and believe system. They want the black to absolutely depend on them.

Tell me what's good in akatas culture, no values, no respect, no morals, dominant spirit, supremacy, colonialism, capitalism, materialism, discrimination etc

We are doing fine before those fools came to exploit us. So what's good in that. They bastardized everything here. Its still continue simply because of evil, slowpoke, retarded, myopic brainless people like you.

Have checked other tread you opened, am certainly sure you are on mission. But am glad to tell you that YOU HAVE FAIL!!!


Don't mind my English, am not from England.

The same thing was said about China and the Chinese. Africans have always been plagued by leaders that can't see the big picture.
Just a law of death sentence would change Africa

with your comment you are doomed

Obviously you couldn't comprehend the methaphors in my response to an op who believed that because of the numerous challenges facing the black people, we have no hope unless we depend on the white race.

My message was they already made us believe that black represent evil while white represent holiness and it's really working to further hurt our already battered self esteem.

The caucasian or 'white' race is known to be at least 40,000 years old.

But there is no record of a caucasian civilization till about 800 BC (ie just 2,800 years ago) when Homer became the first voice of the Greeks. The Greeks themselves learned all they did from the Egyptians, who were black Africans.

There is ample evidence that many races were in existence in the periods we are debating. It just so happened that AFRICANS were the ones who were first to be civilized, and to spread their civilization across the world.

Intriguingly enough, those who colonised Africa knew this full well, even though they denied such knowledge to their captives, whom they elected to brainwash with fantasies of their 'savagery'.

Hear the words of Lady Lugard, the historian wife of Nigeria's first British Governor-General Lord Lugard, in her 1906 book A Tropical Dependency:


"When the history of Negroland comes to be written in detail, it may be found that the kingdoms lying towards the eastern end of Sudan (classical home of Ancient Ethiopians) were the home of races who inspired, rather than of races who received, the tradition of civilization associated for us with the name of ancient Egypt. For they cover on either side of the Upper Nile between the latitudes of ten degrees and seventeen degrees, territories in which are found monuments more ancient than the oldest Egyptian monuments. If this should prove to be the case and civilized world be forced to recognize in a black people the fount of its original enlightenment, it may happen that we shall have to revise entirely our view of the black races, and regard those who now exist as the decadent representatives of an almost forgotten era, rather than as the embryonic possibility of an era yet to come."

"The fame of the ancient Ethiopians (ancient Kushites) was widespread in ancient history. Herodotus described them as the tallest, most beautiful and long-lived of the human races, and before Herodotus, Homer, in even more flattering language, described them as the most just of men, the favorites of the gods. The annals of all the great early nations of Asia Minor are full of them. The Mosaic records allude to them frequently; but while they are described as the most powerful, the most just, and the most beautiful of the human race, they are constantly spoken of as Black, and there seems to be no other conclusion to be drawn than at that remote period of history, the leading race of the Western World was a Black race."

Benin City, the Mighty Medieval Capital now lost without trace

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace




With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’. So why is nothing left?



This is the story of a lost medieval city you’ve probably never heard about. Benin City, originally known as Edo, was once the capital of a pre-colonial African empire located in what is now southern Nigeria. The Benin empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in west Africa, dating back to the 11th century.

The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops”.

Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages.

Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.

Barely any trace of these walls exist today.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.

African fractals
Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns.

As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.”

At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them. In the middle of the streets were turf on which animals fed.

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

Family houses were divided into three sections: the central part was the husband’s quarters, looking towards the road; to the left the wives’ quarters (oderie), and to the right the young men’s quarters (yekogbe).

Daily street life in Benin City might have consisted of large crowds going though even larger streets, with people colourfully dressed – some in white, others in yellow, blue or green – and the city captains acting as judges to resolve lawsuits, moderating debates in the numerous galleries, and arbitrating petty conflicts in the markets.

The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.

The city was split into 11 divisions, each a smaller replication of the king’s court, comprising a sprawling series of compounds containing accommodation, workshops and public buildings – interconnected by innumerable doors and passageways, all richly decorated with the art that made Benin famous. The city was literally covered in it.

The exterior walls of the courts and compounds were decorated with horizontal ridge designs (agben) and clay carvings portraying animals, warriors and other symbols of power – the carvings would create contrasting patterns in the strong sunlight. Natural objects (pebbles or pieces of mica) were also pressed into the wet clay, while in the palaces, pillars were covered with bronze plaques illustrating the victories and deeds of former kings and nobles.

At the height of its greatness in the 12th century – well before the start of the European Renaissance – the kings and nobles of Benin City patronised craftsmen and lavished them with gifts and wealth, in return for their depiction of the kings’ and dignitaries’ great exploits in intricate bronze sculptures.

“These works from Benin are equal to the very finest examples of European casting technique,” wrote Professor Felix von Luschan, formerly of the Berlin Ethnological Museum. “Benvenuto Celini could not have cast them better, nor could anyone else before or after him. Technically, these bronzes represent the very highest possible achievement.”

OP, as you can see from your own history, your people have never needed the white man to excel on this earth.

Please encourage your kids to study African history so they do not end up as colonised, thoughtless, lost sheep like you.

If the black man is truly superior why can't they develop their nations like that of the white men? Why do blacks depend on the whites for almost everything? Black nations are well known for extreme abject poverty, genocide against each other, massive corruption, destructions etc. The op is absolutely right the black man truly needs the white man to show him the light. I do wonder sometimes how a world with only the black man would have looked like it would have been really very terrible and devastating.

There are photos in British museum and article of contact with the Sahara. The blacks never evolved. They never had the intellect to neither doni blamed them as its a God problem. This is what black would have look like to this moment if not for contact with the foreign traders and merchants.

Rosskiki, stop deceiving yourself. There was nothing developed in Africa that will would amaze the white man. They might wonder that the black were able to do some certain things because they already see them as sub humans. Example is that modern humans were amazed to see chimpanzee making use of tools. Or how dog can do some amazing things. We could say this animals are very intelligent because of the class we already put them not because they are superior to us.
