Northern Nigeria has the second largest collection of manuscripts in west Africa after Mali. Estimated at about 20% ( a figure which would’ve been higher if Muhammad Bello didn’t attack Yandoto university) less than 1% of them have been fully digialized and preserved while the rest of them sit in archives collecting dust.

Growing up, drugs were almost nonexistent in my township. Most of us only knew of them from movies and the fact that it was mostly white people who used them. I wonder when all of this changed.

@heinox64428 The noks were basically unknown prior to the discovery of their sculptures and there’s a lot we still don’t know about them, Who knows how many civilizations/cultures are still buried under the earth and who know how much we’ll find and the already known civilizations

Another frustrating thing about Nigeria is the lack of interest in funding archeology. All of these were found in a single farmers field along with hundreds of other artifacts. Imagine what's out there?

An interesting comparison here is that the largest West African barges could carry about as much cargo as Portuguese caravels of the 15th/16th century (60-90 tons)

Like the ones used by Christopher Columbus

The claim that Africa lacked navigable waterways is mostly nonsense

First of all, potsherd pavements are made out of ceramics, not "pebbles". Second of all, West Africa completely mogs Central Asia culturally, and it did it independently.
