For the ignorant, certain traditional African villages might not seem sophisticated. They are only able to appreciate monumentality in architecture. What they don't see is the greatest sophistication on Earth. A sophistication that relentlessly pursues harmony with nature. Stone structures were not only undesirable for much of tropical Africa because they were too hot compared to the cooling factor of adobe buildings, but stone structures often left unappealing ruins and defacing of natural mountains. For the European (and the Black mental-slaves that imitate them), ruins are desirable because as such a young race they are paranoid that everyone will think they are late to the game of civilization and feel the need to prove they have a history by showing off stone ruins. For the traditional tropical African, they are the oldest race on Earth and so they don't need a bunch of stone ruins to prove they have a history. They wanted an architecture that was suitably cooling and that wouldn't leave ruins in nature or destroy mountains by quarrying them. Nature-centered village in Malawi, Southeast Africa African Architectural Genius you are right! Africa possesses both type, stone or simpler as these houses! Indeed the goal pursued by the African architure is to imitate the universe in its shape and its function and to merge as much as possible in the nature and to be part of the nature! The African architecture is named Fractale because it imitates the nature as the snowflakes or sunflower for example! Holy Negast I find that these architects are more advanced and sophisticated that us. .they managed to figure out how to shelter themselves without machines and fancy materials "imported" from wherever. . Honestly if we can't do it with their elegant simplicity and less of an impact on the planet we are the backwards ones imho Mkay If we were/are honest many of us would have admit that we have been seduced by the notion that stone ruins are indicative of a "higher" order of civilized existence.I'm just saying.

Like abused children convince themselves that they are part of the problem that cause them to be abused rather than the insane mind of the fool who abused them we have that same sick relationship with those who discriminate and kill us. We think white people abuse us because we are black rather than because of their criminal mind. So we think that our blackness is our problem and, consequently, we consciously or unconsciously hate it."

Comment by Otedo News Update on November 24, 2014 at 8:11pm: THE APOLOGY
They beat me and I called you to save me ... but you couldn't.. so I secretly resented you.
They took our babies and sold them, I begged you to save us.. but you couldn't .. so I secretly blamed you..
They raped me, and I cried out for you to protect me... but you couldn't.....So I stopped trusting you...
You were supposed to be my man.. my provider.. my protector but when I needed you.. you couldn't be there... so I hated you...
How could I let you tell me what to do.
When massa could protect me more than you..
How could I submit to you when you are forced to submit to massa?
So to protect myself I submitted to the one who could protect me and our children.
I stopped trusting you..
I stopped loving you..
I stopped honoring you..
I stopped valuing you and intern I became valueless to you.
I didn't see the frustration in your eyes when our children were sold..
I didn't hear your silent cries when I was beaten.
I didn't see your anger when I was being ravished..
I didn't understand that you held your emotions to be strong for me..
I thought you didn't care.. but you wanted to be there...you wanted to protect me.. you wanted to ....
but massa made it so you couldn't so I would trust him more than you.
I didn't see the hidden hands shaping our destiny..
all I saw was my pain.. and the feeling that you neglected me..
For all the times I blamed you, I'm sorry
For the resentment and distrust I've held against you for centuries.. I'm sorry
For the times I've let you down
For all the times I've broken your spirit with my words and my actions.
For the times I openly rejected you.. and tried to control you .. because I thought less of you.. I'm sorry..
Massa had a plan.. that he said would work for 400 years.. 400 years is over now.
My eyes are wide open... ..
I see the king in you...
Please forgive my wrongs and see your queen in me.

EDE N'ERHENA VBE EDO

These anti-Edo political organizations you folks went to join are the most anti-African - and Africans - in the world.

They're worse than anything; we obviously can't stop you though, even Ewuare II's manifest destiny lies in our own regional party.

We have egba Omo Oduduwa and so on, NPC, AG, the forerunner of them all NCNC and then now these cancers of today.

Stay "with them", but register for your most important election first: your local election, register Edo Political Front, and if you don't, vote the front.

No self respecting Edo will - in the future - find themselves the flag bearers and cheerleaders of foreign parties with indirect rule political and economic mandates, it just doesn't work.

No sane Edo person lives to "have the ear" of someone who doesn't have Edo at their heart.

The Supreme Court is the place to remove the frustration of these lethargic and "periodic" additions to the voting rolls; here - where I live - you can fill in the forms regarding changing your voter registration at the post office and other easy access places.

At the rate things are going we're going to find ourselves truly in decline as our populations suffer from simple things like protein deficiencies in children
