Mali probably has the most detailed precolonial written history, along with some other Islamic states in West Africa, like those in Northern Nigeria.
I thought these were destroyed by the Touareg rebels sad

Mali's historical scripts from Timbuktu Islamic schools schools are vast but, they are mainly school books and not actual detailed history...

Well I judge by immediate behavior and not deep down!!

Deep down most Nigerians are jealous of Ghana but, in real life they beg when I'm around!! wink wink wink

No, I don't think it is jealousy, I think it is the historic relationship between the two countries that caused the animosity or competition between the two groups. Remember Decades ago that the Ghanian government kicked out Nigerians from Ghana and the nigerian government did it back decades later(Ghana must Go) to Ghanians in Nigeria.

Aren't you from that poor country Ethiopia?!?!
Not just Poor, but also the Only African nation Never colonized, First African's to win gold in the olympics, The African nation with its own written Alphabet,The country that practiced Christianity before Europeans and accepted Islam before the Middle East! [b]The country with the flag colors that everyone rocks without even knowing what it means (green, yellow, red)! [/b]The country that is the origin of the coffee you sip, The country with so much culture and spirituality that you can't even comprehend! Yes!!! I am from that BEAUTIFUL country and Proud of it!!!!!!

There's almost certainly more precolonial written history from the Islamic states in West Africa anyway.

And are you really claiming that no oral history is relied upon in reconstructing the history of Ghana?

Good evening Kenyaphilia, no actually they're Africans whether they like it or not, and I know some are really nice and cool but others have been twisted and think that they're better than the other African brothers because of some useless westerners considerations, and for me this is a way of colonisation

That's a shame. But what can be done about it?
Sad...weakness of Mali government. I heard the were 600,000 manuscripts and they just began digitizing 3-4 years ago....so maybe they preserved a few, just maybe. sad

Yes very disturbing... A lot of it are like students text books though... Like copying the Koran etc etc. Priceless items...

That is what Barbarians do though!! THey don't value history... The Barbarians also destroying some shrines because they said in Islam those shrines were being worshiped by the people instead of God!!

I hate barbarians!! grin grin grin

That's not really unique to Ghana though.

You can say the same thing about Kongo or Dahomey.

Good evening to you!From my experience, many are like that..not necessarily "racist" like the ones you may find in West at times but certainly xenophobic.

I don't think you should have said that though.

If they made jokes about how you look, make jokes about how they look back.

I always thought this guy (Zenawi) looked like a rat:





RIP to him, but really the guy had rat or mouse-like features.

Well do you actually have proof of this though?

A study could be carried out to determine if what you say is true, but if it hasn't already been done, then I don't know why you're making the claim.
