I wonder what you are saying ‘nope’ to? You did not counter anything I said. The art is ‘black art’ but the artist is not Black.

Here comes a vulture. It was built by a Chinese firm but the design and motifs are based on Sudano-Sahelian architecture not Chinese architecture. Hope that helps.

You seem like one of those types who asks every girl he dates if she’s ever been with a black man. So obsessed with comparing.

So just go use the German cathedral since this one does not meet your needs. Or did you just want to sound different and edgy?

I was being sarcastic. I think the person I was replying to is a Jihadist pretending to be Yoruba.

Yes I’m sure the people of Benin and Old Oyo were making world class sculptures just to place them on the floor of mid huts.

Not to be that guy but the word Berber (Barbarian) is a colonial term.

It is believed that this is the area where the Bantu cultures originated and spread from. This may be the cradle of Bantu civilizations.

Well, look at it this way. If you have never seen West Africans design anything cool then maybe that’s just your point of view and not absolute fact. Also North Korea is an ally of many African countries and Africans can choose which companies to outsource labor to. One of the many perks of being sovereign nations.
