Not hardly...those are post colonial structures. Nigeria created a whole new capital....the city of Abuja...built up the last 15 years by Africans. There has been a large contribution by the Chinese in recent years...however. I can tell that you are very uncomfortable with BLACK ACHIEVMENT. You seem to want to believe that blacks don't have the minds to know how to be engineers and architects. Do you know how many Nigerian scholars there are here in America, as well as Doctors, Scientist, Engineers and the like? Many take that training back to Africa and use it. It does not take white folks to build a modern city....LOL...talk about prejudice and ignorance....geeeze...lol. You are showing your "black inferiority" beliefs once again, for only white people can be credited with modernity in Africa. Its just like whites wanting not to believe the contributions of Nubians (Blacks) for the rise of Egypt early on.

Thanks....those are images of Africa that you NEVER see in the US media. That keeps blacks here thinking that our roots are poisoned. If you are ashamed of your roots.....you are ashamed of the leaves. I love showing these images. I have had the fortune of going to African several times. I actually want to retire there. There is both pain and promise in many countries. Oh...I'm sorry....a black man has to get up off his lazy arse beforee he can ever retire....lol. Only white people can retire....lol....in the minds of someone like avejohn...lol

ROTFLMAO....Ok Archie Bunker...lol. I love it! Its eating you up inside....lol. Keep on believing in the supremacy of the West while it circles the drain. Let me also remind you that when civilization was first created, in mesopotomia and even when Egypt was creating engineering marvels, with large Nubian (black) influences from the South, Europeans were still living in caves.

Some of the most beautiful, elegant, professional, driven, family-focused and classy people that I know are Ghanaian.

Its such a shame that the anti-African bigotry runs so deep in the hearts and minds of so many Americans.
