The Ghanaian said she was prejudice against Nigerians thought we was inferior. The Ethiopian prejudice against other Africans thought we inferior. The white South African prejudice against black South African thought they were inferior. And the Nigerian came to defend is people with an open heart and no unnecessary hate. Authentic soul !

Rightly spoken, Nigeria and most african nations generally stood for the oppressed blacks in south africa during apartheid, there was a measure of unity and oneness back then
The Nigerian kid is so brilliant he's being attacked by everybody on the table he's even to referred to as a burnt face African by the Ethiopian kid but yet he stays calm so well spoken a true intellect what a gentleman
The Nigerian kid Boniface Offokaja rose to become one of the greatest broadcasters Nigeria ever produced. He married my best friend Ndidi ,a very pretty lady. A brilliant guy.
Hey, man, can you show me something? In America, are there black people in high positions, such as doctors, lawyers, scientists, teachers? No artists. Do you feel that a black person has opportunities there?

🤣🤣um here for it! Imagine how shocking it was for her to have a black person talk back to her, when she was used to the South African apartheid system.....My guy was unapologetic.
My God! As a Jamaican, this video is like fire under my skin. Never knew this video existed. Thank you UA-cam. Love to see more... To my Nigerian brother, well lit and most informed. Thank you.
The amount of fire that has been called for, there is going to be a lot of water to quench the fire, so many people have called for. We should have learned to be careful of what we wish for? Only a calm Holy Head can carry us through this storm.
I am from central Africa but i will hold so much respect for Nigerians than any other country in Africa, the Nigerian young man had perfect presentation of his ideas with so much wisdom and making a strong stand for Africa not only his country
But that's the backbone of our history and is the oldest subsharan African history btw, that we came from a solomonian blood line and our kings and queens are the descendents of queen of Sheba and Solomon. ኢትዮጵያ
'As in' his choice of words were too articulate, well prepared, well read. When education was education. Susan was blown out severally. Completely underestimated him. I can imagine her respect for him after this first episode.
😭😭 the way this man so subtlety deconstructed and refuted her point and still managed to add a little pettiness for her ignorance 🤣 genius way to debate
@@chasegwop47 For real. This style is sorely missed. Rarely you never see this type of debating anymore. As an African, what he said isn't even subtle lol. That's just typical Africans telling it how it is. This dude reminded me of an uncle of mine.
Wow. This debate is powerful. Interesting to see that Ethiopia don't consider themselves as Africans. He said their skin was burn by the sun. I'm Jamaican and I always love Nigerians. This kid stood out so much. He's smart and you can see that he did his homework, just like a Nigerian. I'm so proud to have 38% of Nigerian blood.
Huh he knows he is African , this is African panel He just doesn't identify as negro or white He didn't say anything vile Negro has negative connotations at the time ,n you can see when he said he doesn't see himself as white either ... You can understand that he isn't trying to feel racially superior .. Its also clear n true ethiopians habesha are half middle easterns so he identified with that more , don't tell ethiopians enforce being a negros it's kind of weird .. specially with how much the word has a racist and negative connotations to it Specially during that time Openly saying I'm negro is like admitting defeat in it self At least this a days it's used in a better positive way by AA
Ethiopian, Somali, Eritreans, Suddaneese etc especially the arabized ones, dont consider themselves black Africans. Some have been brainwashed beyond repair
Nigerians have a thing for electing the wrong leaders from amongst plenty good material..God doesn't create lack, however, hunans on the other hand create their own luck, be it good, or bad.
#prouddaughter. Thanks again for all the love you all are showing my dad. This video has kept his memory alive in the hearts of many!! Growing up, he would always tell us stories about this debate and his experiences. It’s bittersweet rewatching this in real time…. RIP daddy❤️. I know he would be happy knowing how much this has touched many lives. May this memory continue to keep his legacy and all that he stood for alive. 🙏🏾
Chai! Dera kedu? God bless you. This Adaorah in Atlanta. Remember me? We connected through your mom, Aunty Ndidi when you came over for schooling couple of years back. I am super proud of your dad, uncle Bonny. May his soul continue to Rest In Peace.
He is stupid for trying to make the ethiopian guy choose a race either black or white You don't do that to mixed ancestry people lol n laugh at Thier face like that ,
I am Ethiopian my self and I'm so disappointed in the little boy from Ethiopia his parents thought him all the wrong sides of a beautiful AFRICAN culture. The Nigerian boy was absolutely amazing.
Many don’t understand Ethiopia/Abyssinia owned slaves especially haile Selassie until recently and even to this day people aren’t considered equal. In Ethiopia slaves or former slaves are called “BARYA” which means and is exactly as same as the N word.
The Nigerian boy was so handsome and intelligent. Notice how he didn’t have any prejudices towards the others . Very disappointed in Ghana and especially Ethiopia
As an African/Ethiopian Amara I am proud of the Nigerian boy! So brillant and ethical. Don't be disappointed by the Ethiopian boy because he was the product of that time not today. If you only see the supporters of Nigerian football back in Ethiopia today, you will know how deep the brotherwood is. 👏
This is were soo many things started The Ghanaian girl look down on Nigerian why she was indirectly making friend with the South African the Ethiopian was claiming Israel it was only the Nigerian boy that stood his ground. This is why many of them sees Nigerians to be too aggressive in approach. Thank you Boniface for representing us very well.
THE ghanaian girl and the ethiopian guy to me are the real heroes. They were able to answer the question or the topic that was asked. Prejudice but not racial discrimination.
The Nigerian young man was preaching. As a Black South African man, it’s fascinating to listen to and watch how indoctrinated this white girl was. How schools taught white people that they arrived in South African before us the Bantu people, and that we found them here 100 years after the first European settlers. It gave me a great sense of pride to watch/listen to this young African and Nigerian pick apart at the South African’s argument. He is the African that we all want to be: intelligent, fierce, proud and of sound mind.
People have been giving black South Africans insults for generations Don’t listen to them They’re obsessed with y’all Killing people with sophisticated weapons doesn’t make you civilized
Absolutely. Indoctrination of peoples minds is truly dangerous. Wake up people and read and read, from all angles to come to a informative conclusion. Furthermore live with all sections of the society so that you don’t judge based subjective opinions.
Even if the Bantu did migrate after the Europeans ( which is completely false) there was still the Khoisan and other indigenous BLACK tribes that were there already.
As an Ethiopian I feel like my country could have sent a better person to represent us than this mis-informed 15 year old Nigeria and the whole of Africa should be proud of Boniface Offokaja
@@sweetlove1eritrean279 that’s not true at all. We DO know we are Africans. We don’t need to believe because we already know we are Africans. The issue when it comes to our history, pretty much every textbooks and historical events are linked to Israel and the Middle East through the Red Sea. Be it due to the advent of Ethiopian Jews, Christianity or Islam, most of our history is associated with the Middle East to the east than with sub Sahara to the south.
The Nigerian brother’s intelligence, eloquence, and poise is so admirable. And to think that he had all that at the age of 16 is mind blowing. He was so superior to the other kids on that panel.
@@agneswhitediffee5003 This exact same comment you made to someone else who commented. I almost replied you then but just decided to allow it slide, but now I think I have your time. You're nothing but a common thief! And it is so painful that you hide under the cover of God's word and visions I carrying out your dirty scam. Because people are emotional towards religion you leverage on it to mislead them, and to make them yield more to your lies you tell more lies about seeing them in vision or something ministering to you. Some will become scared and others believing in the breakthrough you've promised they will get when they make a contribution will go ahead and contribute. If you saw no vision or wasn't ministered to about them, may the force of nature and repercussion for your wickedness stop you from getting a single breakthrough. Your only remedy will be going back to apologize to each and every single one of those persons you've sent this message. If you think I'm lying, watch and see how the next 10 years of your life plays out. Never mislead people using God's name or message as a cover.
I kind of agree! The Gold Coast girl is lovely & very well spoken. As a mother I would be very proud of her. She is kind, empathic & compassionate. The South African girl is simply a product of her culture. I love her passion & bravery! To put it another way, I think her “nature” has been polluted by her “nurture”. The Ethiopian boy is young (is he younger than the others?) & devoutly religious. His Islamic education gave him his “facts”. I think that this experience of travelling, being exposed to debate & new knowledge (in his formative years) will greatly influence the man he is to become...As with all of them! Do you know anything about the rest of their lives? What became of them? Please post any links that you’re aware of! 😘
That Ethiopian is just plain thick. The Ghanaian has a colonized mind, South African is deluded and drunk with white privilege. The Nigerian is just brilliant, pure class.
No surprise though (about the Ethiopian guy), all of the scholarship at that time tried as hard as it could to separate Ethiopians, Berbers and indigenous Egyptians from the continent of Africa because they don’t have “black features” (referring to our nose and lips mainly). Also, it is possible that he is Falasha and believed that the ancient Hebrews were white but they were more than likely a mahogany complexion.
I am an Ethiopian and I have to say it was embarrassing to listen to the Ethiopian boy, but I kind of understand where he is coming from..he is a victim of a distorted religious doctrine as well as social stereotypes...If every Ethiopian was like him Ethiopia alongside Ghana and the likes would not have been the champions in being the founding members of Pan Africanism ..there is another clip of the same era where an Ethiopian girl made a strong pro African debate and I will try find the link for it..
@@TH-qk6ez ....I am Eritrean & still today many Ethiopia believe they are not black or pure African but they consider themselves as habesha (ethnic group) in other words mix race. And many Ethiopians today believe they have Israeli blood, just like the Ethiopian boy said, nothing has changed same thing today. Even the western media considers & idolise Ethiopians as superior Africans because of their light skin complexion, plus many Ethiopians as well as Eritreans look down on other Africans or Africans-Americans. Even W Africans don't consider us E Africans as pure Africans but they call us half breeds. This is the colonization mindset & we must changed this in order to see change in Africa.
@@mylifemyjourney1 I agree..but we also need to admit that to the contrary there are colonized black Africans who still worship the white race and still not confident enough to even walk in to the same cafe with white person as I have noticed in Kenya and south Africa..so instead of pointing fingers at each other, we need to admit our weaknesses and correct it..using such outdated remarks for current domestic ethnic politics doesn't help either as some extremist Ethiopian ethnocentric "politicians" are doing..these kid's 20th century ignorance is nowhere near some of the ethnic barbarism we are witnessing in Ethiopia today in 21St century ‼
Watching this for the first time in 2024 and quite impressed with the discourse. Remember all they had were books and limited articles, but did more. Nowadays information is near perfect but the discourse among young people is about social media driven nonsense. Hats off Mr Boni
In those days, they do not need teachers. We were trained to read and challenge a class if we passed the exam. Many of the ones I grew up with became Chartered Accountants, without stepping into a traditional school. Many of us would never stop taking the initiative because it is deeply ingrained in our psyche.
He appears the most matured, his response to questions and the question he his asking, did raised the bar. I am not surprised when those that move motion for independence are young youth in their twenties.
I sat here listening and for some reason, I couldn't help but wonder...have kids nowadays regressed? These young debaters are fantastic and well-read. Excellent point!
@@axeldurman5224 Are you all on drugs? These kids are bloody stupid compared to teenagers I talk to today who are not only well-read but have a very mature and complex view of society. They are way more thoughtful and inclusive than when I was their age. The opinions of the settler afrikaner ,the Ghanian and the Ethiopian are misinformed at best and downright moronic at worst.
It will still make no difference. Johnathan Goodluck didn’t fare better with Nigerians even though he was highly or well educated: The Nigerian orientation is warped and need to be addressed from the grassroots if any progress will be achieved. That young man would have even made a horrible leader with such an impeachable mind. Nigerians really have to look 👀 inside their souls to see if they want to unequivocally live with their diverse people.
Honestly speaking, as a Nigerian I'm so proud of Boniface Ofokaja for speaking brilliantly, he's not just a Nigerian but a true African who speaks the mind of Africans in general.
I am a Ghanaian but i must confess this; the Nigerian guy really defended Africa.. I am so proud. i can see his daughter here @uche offokaja. You really had an amazing dad
*I hear this Nigerian student, Boniface, passed on in 2018, per his daughter. Well I'm sure his amazing heart and mind touched many, and is still reaching far and wide. Knowledge is power.* 🇳🇬 👏🏾
At 16 Bonny spoke his truth and schooled every one of them, even the moderator was schooled I believe so. The Ethiopian, he's utterly confused and "lost" and should never been on that debate. As for the Ghanaian, she practically made it so easy to notice how inferior she felt in her skin, and wanted the friendship and approval of a white person. Her comment about Nigerians was really demeaning. The white south African, nearly lost it, and getting all up in Bonny's space, after facts upon facts were dropped, I feel she was close crying. She was bashed intellectually. Nigeria has always defended and will always stand for Africa. Giant of Africa for a reason.
The Ethiopian is one of the found tribes of Israel, and an African. Research name meanings, continent is different from ethnicity. He is an African Ethiopian whose ancestry is Hebrew.
@@monicakeenon8943 1) I which way did the girl from Ghana express that she wanted the approval of her white friend in N.Y.? 2) The south african girls recount of the history of migration and land occupation in south africa is correct. I have expertice in this and u can easily find this information in scientific books. 3) Also calling the ethiopian lost was funny but not really serious reply. I saw the nigerian more as an intelligent demagogue than a serious debater.
It is instructive to note that in every debate, one must pay attention to identify the real opponents. Boniface ignored the Ghanaian, fired a few shots at the Ethiopian, and faced the South-African squarely. He wasn't going to let her get away with those false narratives and bold claims. What a brilliant mind!
Facts that's what I'm saying, her ignored the Ghanaian, even though she made a mistake putting down her own black people from the beginning, he just let her slide, refused to stress her out.
@@tell-it7649 True, probably realized it wouldn't be worth it to engage in any larger argument with her seeing as to how she was already going down a self destructive spiral. Why do you think she was putting down other Ghanaians? Is there a lot of cultural conflict there?
@@olorunyomifola-oyetayo8017 it all started by the same ones that doctrine we African’s to see ourselves lesser to one another with the mentality of learning western ways then return home and belittle our fellow tribe because they were unfortunate to educate themselves. Yes to Oduduwa Nation!
lol The Nigerian guy Said he has been looking forward to get discriminated in America but it has not happened to him I would feel sorry for a Karen that would dare him 😂😂😂
@@richild3967 It's not a Mattervof asking like a beggar it's a matter of demanding like a tax payer that's why Nigerians don't tolerate this imperialism bulshit
I don't understand these comments. What does age have to do with this. If a person is well informed and educated then that is all there is to it. Can't we just respect that without comparing him to anyone?
70 years later... She was 100% correct, Nigerian guy 100% the arrogant fool that admitted he knew nothing about SA except that it's ruled by whites, so that's enough for him... LMAO no wonder colonisation took on so easily if a bit of arrogance is all that it takes... makes sense why China is having such an easy time of it, pludering you resources. Such a pathetic lot, you deserve it.
It's his unweavring confidence and boldness for me❤❤ At this moment i still want to be a Nigerian if there's a next life I'm so proud of you Sir Boniface. Keep resting
Just a question, no offense. Why south African also have to identify their tribe especially the Zulu? Why it can't be I. South Africa instead I'm from south African and Zulu?
@@Israelb7616 You don't get, do you? I am an Igbo man before I become a Nigerian . My ancestors where Igbos before the white man came. My tribe, my Identity.. I salute the Zulu woman for understanding whats important. South African is not her Identity, Zulu is!! Do you know why Boniface was so confidence ? cos he never lose his true identity as an Igbo man.. Nigeria was a construct of the british colonial invaders... So was South Africa too!!!
I'm white Irish but we understand the oppression from a colonial power all the same as the African diaspora. Very proud of this incredibly intelligent brother. I can imagine the uproar this caused.
@Dutch Slatin We have black Irish and have done for decades. Phil Linnitt the lead singer of Thin Lizzy was Irish. I consider anyone who was born here and integrated and respects our culture to be Irish also.
@@Celtic_Iron Ireland is one of the very few European countries that DID NOT steal from others to get to where they are today. Maximum respect for Ireland.
@@nunbusiness6872 Largely because Ireland has been an incredibly poor, largely rural nation for much of its history. The influence of the church did not help. And it suffered after the Normans invaded (much in the same way as the indigenous English - though of course they had suffered from earlier Roman occupation also). Very few poor countries can manage to take other nation's wealth, let alone run an empire, without having the resources to do so. The main reason why Ireland has become so prosperous is due to its membership of the EU, and subsequent largesse in the form of EU funded infrastructure projects (and undercutting other nations on corporation tax), so it does owe its success largely to the international community, even if that wealth has not been 'stolen'.
@Dutch Slatin You don’t get it. The black Irish as he called them, did not oppress the white Irish. If the black Irish had done to them what the white South Africans did to the black South Africans, I’m pretty sure The Pale Man would have very different views towards them. I’m a white German by the way.
Despite their individual opinions, i loved how the debate went. A very intelligent discourse with very proper manners. No fights or insults or raised voices.
The white SOUTH AFRICAN lady look so uncomfortable with her own history, that Nigeria Guy is a VIBE; he speaks truth with smiling face... I think I've learn something today!
they invited her in 4 discussions, look it up. each time a different nigerian took her to task and in the end she shut up ha ha ha. nigerians from that era didn't play
@@Naomi-md1eu check their ranking in Africa. Can we conclude that by listening to this guy? I wish all African countries were represented then you will understand my point.
I don't like the fact the white south African girl called our Nigerian brother Bonafide a "boy". In deep South in America the white man called grown men boys all the time on the plantations equivalent to calling him a nigger or a slave... Facts..
@@danfield6030 its a possibility though.White South Africans and Rhodesians called the indegenous males "boy" regardless of age..... It was a derogatory term that most people took for granted. Even in post colonial Zimbabwe for instance the term "mabhoyi" derived from the colonial reference "boy" is a derogatory term often used in a negative inference regarding black Zimbabweans.....so ingrained its unconsciously accepted though absolutely negative in origin
And Ghanians will still think we are their problem. The thing being discussed is happening against Nigerians in Ghana. Have we evolved a bit since after this debate ? Retrogression 😭
How has the Ghanaian perspective on Nigerians changed since the dissolution of the Gold Coast? Is the perspective of the Gold Coast representative in this video still a common perspective of the Ghanaian people concerning Nigerians?
@@mtd4577 not at all the ghanian girl was barely focused on the topic of the debate where as she took sides with the white South African occasionally in order to make a foreign friend while the Ethiopian boy is quite typical racist,blant and xenophobic against other African countries the Nigerian was who stood out the most here
I'm Indian and i am so impressed with Boniface. The guy had such elegance and intellect at such a young age. No matter how many times the white south African girl tried belittling him, he kept his composure and got his point across. I'd be lucky to be half the man he is
Aggression is what they expect from you, try and be unpredictable. That young man oozes self confidence and ease, only those who are easily ruffled get agitated at the slightest agitation. It’s a sign of immaturity. In the same way a toddler can’t compose themselves and are ruled by feelings.
Boniface told Susan “I think you've read your history upside down”... I'm crying 😩😭😂😂💔 my guy was throwing shades and schooling the whole panel at the same time 🤝
They were 16 years old but I'm surprised with the level of their intelligence, especially the Nigeria boy. The greediness and short-sightedness of African political leaders have caused us a lot.
Not especially the Nigerian boy...he was more confident and forceful I'd say but the level of intelligence displayed by all 4 was largely at par with one another and is impressive by today's standards...it is sad that what should be common place and average intelligence is now being celebrated as impressive because of how far the educational standards have fallen...caveat here, this me speaking from the perspective of a Nigerian who's lived most of my life in Nigeria...I know nothing of the current standards in Ghana, South Africa or Ethiopia
@@johnnybreezi1053 Well if you're speaking as a Nigerian, take it from me that Britain is the same and I suspect everywhere else is slipping. Kids are on TikTok and doing other rubbish online. I have a copy at home of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations from when he was 15 but the average 15 year old would struggle through that. It's not that sad though, if you're a parent and you understand this then it's less competition for your kids.
Education has been going down hill for centuries, whet you look at all these amazing philosophers, mathematicians, astrologers, from our history. Our ego always tells us that we’re surely way more advanced in every single way, technology wise maybe and medically but if you look back in the 18tj century and seen what these German philosophy students were debating it just blows my mind, the level of education and teaching skills was way better. Now kids just get indoctrinated and it’s all people getting offended and censored. I guarantee you though these students were hand picked specifically from good schools
@@soutano11979 You're right on many levels but I'd say the standards at the time were better...my grandpa before he died used to write letters to my dad and I read those letter today and can't believe they were written by a man who only had elementary education..no secondary education, no college education...

That was ignorant at nest , instead of trying to understand the only thing he saw was some African features on the ethiopian boy even tho he is clearly mixed Instead of listening his culture history n ancestry on why he associated himself with Israel n identified simply as ethiopian He jumped into conclusion he must be lost Cus there's no way this guy who hv some common features like me says he doesn't claim to be the "N WORD" like I do , his brain is so small. He was condescending too when he said so you think your white ..n the ethiopian said no I don't ..I'm not white or black , I'm just dark skinned with Israel ancestry , only those that knows n understand the ethiopian habesha culture positivly will hv no problem with this statement cus it's true , DNA proofs we r mixed , so it's nothing controversial he was speaking his history n truth n what he believed he truly was He didn't see him self as the N word with all it's negative connotations, 😂the word is censored for fucks sake Plus telling a mixed person to choose only one of the race is stupid in the generation, at least they didn't know better at that time
Sorry, yes Nigeria do have intelligent men and women. But.... We are all fallen beings, And even people with intelligence make mistakes that hurt and discriminate others in their own community
I know right!am also Ghanaian...The Ghanaian lady looked intimidated by that white girl and was more interested in being on her good side,quite disappointing
Don't be hard on the Ghanaian lady that much ,she was ill informed and felt comfortable playing the hospitality thing against the well researched Nigerian gentleman. At least Emelia didn't want to exaggerate on items she had no adequate information on , but chose to place the diplomatic role , that's where Ghanaians excel in ; president Dr Kwame Nkrumah , His Excellency Kofi Annan , Dr Ibn Chambas and so on ..
The Ghanaian girl is empty 😂😂😂and the Nigerian is a genius!! He represented us so well. That level of intelligence is unbelievable!! I’ve been blown away!!!!
Whereas the Ghanaian and Ethiopian representatives consider Nigerians inferior, Boniface pities them in their situation: thinks more of the emancipation of the African continent. May his soul Rest In Peace.
it was a time when some Ghanaians were starting to hate on some Nigerian immigrants, so I think she had perception of Nigeriand beig bad. But i was the jealosy of some Ghanaians that were ruining the name of Nigerians.

Boniface was just 16 and had a perfect command of the English language, a composure of a 40-year old professor and very eloquent. What went wrong with our educational system? Damn! How many 40-year old in Nigeria would have this impressive comportment? About time we took away the mobiles phones. Let us all go get our books!
Boniface is a genius if he's white he would have been one of the greatest Philosopher, the man said '' quite frankly l am tired of reading about SA, l have done so for 15 years and l dont want to waste one more year'' that means he's aware of SA problems from age 1 lol!. That's a genius mind and the use of words was of someone on different level of intelligent. some one some one 2 days ago
What a maturity from the Nigerian kid of only 16 years old!Besides the outstanding ideas he had been generating,his ability of controlling his emotions at that early age is really astonishing!Nigerians, you have a " man" to be proud of.
Gosh, Boniface OWNED the debate. This guy literally spoke like a Professor of history or something. He said he had Bipartisan views and he meant it. Kudos..
Unfortunately the very elegant and eloquent boy from Nigeria did get his facts wrong: None of South Africa’s current tribes (Zulus, Xhosas, Sothos etc. were in the Cape when the Dutch arrived in 1652. Only the indigenous inhabitants: the Khoi (Bushmen). Only with the arrival of the British and with them the expansion of the border of what today is known as South Africa did the “europeans” come into contact with South Africa’s black (in those days called Bantu) tribes. An extract from Wikipedia: The area fell out of regular contact with Europeans until 1652, when Jan van Riebeeck and other employees of the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, or simply VOC) were sent to the Cape to establish a halfway station to provide fresh water, vegetables, and meat for passing ships travelling to and from Asia. Van Riebeeck's party of three vessels landed at the cape on 6 April 1652. The Cape was under Dutch rule from 1652 to 1795 and again from 1803 to 1806.[10] The group quickly erected shelters and laid out vegetable gardens and orchards, and are preserved in the Company's Garden. Water from the Fresh River, which descended from Table Mountain, was channelled into canals to provide irrigation. The settlers bartered with the native Khoisan for their sheep and cattle. Forests in Hout Bay and the southern and eastern flanks of Table Mountain provided timber for ships and houses. At this point, the VOC had a monopoly on trade and prohibited any private trade. The Dutch gave their own names to the native inhabitants that they encountered, calling the pastoralists "Hottentots", those that lived on the coast and subsisted on shellfishing "Strandlopers", and those who were hunter-gatherers were named "Bushmen".
@@benhayward78 hmmm if you get your facts from Wikipedia then I'm very worried about the credibility of your statements. However, south Africa as we know it today wasn't just some empty virgin land waiting to be conquered. No, it was rather a part or even an identity of the nomadic African tribes cycling through the plains and Mountains of that area. Also I wonder why the Khoi tribes just magically ceded the land to the new Europeans? Maybe history isn't telling us all we need to know.
This clip made me remember a Nelson Mandela quote about Nigerians " The world will never respect Africa until Nigeria earns the respect. The black people of the world are looking up to Nigeria to be a source of pride and confidence. Every Nigerian citizen must be made to understand this."

Huh he knows he is African , this is African panel
He just doesn't identify as negro or white
He didn't say anything vile
Negro has negative connotations at the time ,n you can see when he said he doesn't see himself as white either ... You can understand that he isn't trying to feel racially superior ..
Its also clear n true ethiopians habesha are half middle easterns so he identified with that more , don't tell ethiopians enforce being a negros it's kind of weird .. specially with how much the word has a racist and negative connotations to it
Specially during that time
Openly saying I'm negro is like admitting defeat in it self
At least this a days it's used in a better positive way by AA

@@johnd2757 says another ghanaian.. you people don’t do wrong 😂😅
The Nigerian young man was preaching. As a Black South African man, it’s fascinating to listen to and watch how indoctrinated this white girl was. How schools taught white people that they arrived in South African before us the Bantu people, and that we found them here 100 years after the first European settlers. It gave me a great sense of pride to watch/listen to this young African and Nigerian pick apart at the South African’s argument. He is the African that we all want to be: intelligent, fierce, proud and of sound mind.
Yet, you people are attacking Nigerians and other Africans in your country. Isn't that sad?
People have been giving black South Africans insults for generations
Don’t listen to them
They’re obsessed with y’all
Killing people with sophisticated weapons doesn’t make you civilized

Absolutely. Indoctrination of peoples minds is truly dangerous. Wake up people and read and read, from all angles to come to a informative conclusion. Furthermore live with all sections of the society so that you don’t judge based subjective opinions.
Even if the Bantu did migrate after the Europeans ( which is completely false) there was still the Khoisan and other indigenous BLACK tribes that were there already.

@@sweetlove1eritrean279 that’s not true at all. We DO know we are Africans. We don’t need to believe because we already know we are Africans.

Some will become scared and others believing in the breakthrough you've promised they will get when they make a contribution will go ahead and contribute.

The Gold Coast girl is lovely & very well spoken. As a mother I would be very proud of her. She is kind, empathic & compassionate.
The South African girl is simply a product of her culture. I love her passion & bravery! To put it another way, I think her “nature” has been polluted by her “nurture”.
The Ethiopian boy is young (is he younger than the others?) & devoutly religious. His Islamic education gave him his “facts”. I think that this experience of travelling, being exposed to debate & new knowledge (in his formative years) will greatly influence the man he is to become...As with all of them!
Do you know anything about the rest of their lives? What became of them? Please post any links that you’re aware of! 😘
That Ethiopian is just plain thick. The Ghanaian has a colonized mind, South African is deluded and drunk with white privilege. The Nigerian is just brilliant, pure class.
No surprise though (about the Ethiopian guy), all of the scholarship at that time tried as hard as it could to separate Ethiopians, Berbers and indigenous Egyptians from the continent of Africa because they don’t have “black features” (referring to our nose and lips mainly). Also, it is possible that he is Falasha and believed that the ancient Hebrews were white but they were more than likely a mahogany complexion.
I am an Ethiopian and I have to say it was embarrassing to listen to the Ethiopian boy, but I kind of understand where he is coming from..he is a victim of a distorted religious doctrine as well as social stereotypes...If every Ethiopian was like him Ethiopia alongside Ghana and the likes would not have been the champions in being the founding members of Pan Africanism ..there is another clip of the same era where an Ethiopian girl made a strong pro African debate and I will try find the link for it..
Whites have earned their privilege
@@TH-qk6ez ....I am Eritrean & still today many Ethiopia believe they are not black or pure African but they consider themselves as habesha (ethnic group) in other words mix race. And many Ethiopians today believe they have Israeli blood, just like the Ethiopian boy said, nothing has changed same thing today. Even the western media considers & idolise Ethiopians as superior Africans because of their light skin complexion, plus many Ethiopians as well as Eritreans look down on other Africans or Africans-Americans. Even W Africans don't consider us E Africans as pure Africans but they call us half breeds. This is the colonization mindset & we must changed this in order to see change in Africa.

I agree..but we also need to admit that to the contrary there are colonized black Africans who still worship the white race and still not confident enough to even walk in to the same cafe with white person as I have noticed in Kenya and south Africa..so instead of pointing fingers at each other, we need to admit our weaknesses and correct it..using such outdated remarks for current domestic ethnic politics doesn't help either as some extremist Ethiopian ethnocentric "politicians" are doing..these kid's 20th century ignorance is nowhere near some of the ethnic barbarism we are witnessing in Ethiopia today in 21St century ‼

At 16 Bonny spoke his truth and schooled every one of them, even the moderator was schooled I believe so. The Ethiopian, he's utterly confused and "lost" and should never been on that debate. As for the Ghanaian, she practically made it so easy to notice how inferior she felt in her skin, and wanted the friendship and approval of a white person. Her comment about Nigerians was really demeaning. The white south African, nearly lost it, and getting all up in Bonny's space, after facts upon facts were dropped, I feel she was close crying. She was bashed intellectually. Nigeria has always defended and will always stand for Africa. Giant of Africa for a reason.
The Ethiopian is one of the found tribes of Israel, and an African. Research name meanings, continent is different from ethnicity. He is an African Ethiopian whose ancestry is Hebrew.

I saw the nigerian more as an intelligent demagogue than a serious debater.
It is instructive to note that in every debate, one must pay attention to identify the real opponents. Boniface ignored the Ghanaian, fired a few shots at the Ethiopian, and faced the South-African squarely. He wasn't going to let her get away with those false narratives and bold claims.

And it suffered after the Normans invaded (much in the same way as the indigenous English - though of course they had suffered from earlier Roman occupation also). Very few poor countries can manage to take other nation's wealth, let alone run an empire, without having the resources to do so. The main reason why Ireland has become so prosperous is due to its membership of the EU, and subsequent largesse in the form of EU funded infrastructure projects (and undercutting other nations on corporation tax), so it does owe its success largely to the international community, even if that wealth has not been 'stolen'.

#Facts
He is very intelligent
Unfortunately the very elegant and eloquent boy from Nigeria did get his facts wrong: None of South Africa’s current tribes (Zulus, Xhosas, Sothos etc. were in the Cape when the Dutch arrived in 1652. Only the indigenous inhabitants: the Khoi (Bushmen). Only with the arrival of the British and with them the expansion of the border of what today is known as South Africa did the “europeans” come into contact with South Africa’s black (in those days called Bantu) tribes.
An extract from Wikipedia:
The area fell out of regular contact with Europeans until 1652, when Jan van Riebeeck and other employees of the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, or simply VOC) were sent to the Cape to establish a halfway station to provide fresh water, vegetables, and meat for passing ships travelling to and from Asia. Van Riebeeck's party of three vessels landed at the cape on 6 April 1652. The Cape was under Dutch rule from 1652 to 1795 and again from 1803 to 1806.[10] The group quickly erected shelters and laid out vegetable gardens and orchards, and are preserved in the Company's Garden. Water from the Fresh River, which descended from Table Mountain, was channelled into canals to provide irrigation. The settlers bartered with the native Khoisan for their sheep and cattle. Forests in Hout Bay and the southern and eastern flanks of Table Mountain provided timber for ships and houses. At this point, the VOC had a monopoly on trade and prohibited any private trade. The Dutch gave their own names to the native inhabitants that they encountered, calling the pastoralists "Hottentots", those that lived on the coast and subsisted on shellfishing "Strandlopers", and those who were hunter-gatherers were named "Bushmen".
@@benhayward78 hmmm if you get your facts from Wikipedia then I'm very worried about the credibility of your statements. However, south Africa as we know it today wasn't just some empty virgin land waiting to be conquered. No, it was rather a part or even an identity of the nomadic African tribes cycling through the plains and Mountains of that area. Also I wonder why the Khoi tribes just magically ceded the land to the new Europeans? Maybe history isn't telling us all we need to know.
This clip made me remember a Nelson Mandela quote about Nigerians " The world will never respect Africa until Nigeria earns the respect.
