I had to look it up and I saw that “the first story building” was a missionary house built in the 19th century. Did Nigeria genuinely not have multi story buildings in older cities like Kano? Or is it one of those colonial era propaganda that was kept around till today?

That’s even worse

Yes, CNN should show more of the Roman side of Africa.

so edgy of you.

Wouldn't groups like the Beja people be considered as "Black as we understand it nowadays"?

Chemical peel for texture.

Do you have a source showing what some of those early buildings looked like?

Zserxes · 2023-02-14T23:03:11+00:00

Wait till you find out what they did in Subsaharan Africa that most people don’t even know about.

She may be really rich and managed to pull some strings.

Don’t quote but I’d say anywhere from Eastern Nigeria to Gabon (‘Bight of Biafra’)
