The Songhai Empire was a powerful pre-colonial West African state that existed from the 15th to the late 16th century. It was the last and largest of the three great West African empires, following the Ghana 🇬🇭 Empire and the Mali 🇲🇱 Empire. The Songhai Empire emerged in the western Sahel region, in what is now modern-day Mali 🇲🇱, Niger 🇳🇪, and Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Key points about the Songhai Empire:
1. Origins and Rise: The Songhai people initially formed a small state within the Mali Empire. However, during the 15th century, under the leadership of Sunni Ali Ber, the Songhai state expanded through conquest and became a dominant power in the region. Sunni Ali Ber is often credited with laying the foundation for the Songhai Empire.
2. Sunni Ali Ber: Sunni Ali Ber, the first great ruler of the Songhai Empire, ascended to the throne in the late 15th century. He was a military leader and expanded the empire through a series of military campaigns, particularly along the Niger River. He captured key cities, including Timbuktu and Djenne, consolidating his control over the trans-Saharan trade routes.
3. Askia Dynasty: After Sunni Ali's death, Askia Muhammad I took over and established the Askia Dynasty. Askia Muhammad is often considered the greatest ruler of the Songhai Empire. He expanded the empire further, reorganized its administration, and promoted Islam, making it the dominant religion in the region.
4. Economic and Cultural Achievements: The Songhai Empire was a center of trade, particularly in gold, salt, and other valuable commodities. The cities of Timbuktu and Djenne became important centers of commerce, learning, and culture. Timbuktu, in particular, was known for its wealth and scholarship, attracting scholars and traders from across Africa and the Islamic world.
5. Decline: The Songhai Empire reached its height under Askia Muhammad I, but internal strife and external pressures, including invasions by the Saadi Dynasty of Morocco, led to its decline. The Battle of Tondibi in 1591, where the Songhai forces were defeated by the Moroccans, marked a significant turning point. The empire eventually disintegrated into smaller states.
6. Legacy: Despite its relatively short existence, the Songhai Empire left a lasting impact on the history and culture of West Africa. Its contributions to trade, scholarship, and the spread of Islam in the region are significant aspects of its legacy.
The Songhai Empire is an important chapter in the history of West Africa, showcasing the region's rich cultural, economic, and political heritage.
The prognathism Of the Sphinx doesn't match with current egyptian's.
For me, The Sphinx is the highest significant proof that ancestors printed in stone for Eternity. No matter how ancient Egypt became multi-racial because of Eurasians invasions, it was a Black civilization at the beginning.
It doesn't matter how Egypt became multi-racial today, but we were there before, we created this civilization. And then, the invaders put down their suitcases.

Black people have been socially engineered to think and behave in ways that serves and protects the interests of the white society. They’ve made us adore them and made us perceive ourselves as being our own worst enemies in spite of their history of brutalizing us.
THE BLACK LIBERATING FACTS THAT THE WHITE OPPRESSORS DONT WANT BLACK PEOPLE TO KNOW :
Unlike at the conclusion of World War ll, when the Jewish Holocaust ended and the U.S. and the U.N contributed massive financial support to rebuild the lives of the Jews, there was no moral obligation to do the same for we Africans.
Although the African Holocaust lasted hundreds of years longer, resulted in millions of more deaths, and more greatly decimated the African culture when slavery was abolished, America, Great Britain, and the many other white nations that benefited from the brutal exploitation of Africa, felt no moral obligation to restore the culture of African people. They instead focused on their own self interest by socializing Africans.
SOCIALIZED is when the oppressors exploits their monopoly over information that are systematically fed into the minds of the oppressed to manipulate the oppressed to think and behave in ways that serves the interests of the oppressors. More simply stated: Because the white society controls most of the information that Black people routinely receives, this allows them to control what millions of Black people. They’ve exploited this scenario to socialize the collective minds of Black people, to think in ways beneficial to the white society. Moreover the socializing process is reinforced unrelentingly through ongoing media propaganda campaigns.
There are presently white men that specializes in psychiatry, and propaganda - that works unrelentingly behind the scenes manipulating the collective minds of the Black masses. These men govern our minds, molds our opinions, and shapes our perceptions in ways that protects and serves the interests of the white society both domestically and globally. White social scientists and propagandist have deployed a psychological warfare system that’s so elaborate and vast that it goes beyond the comprehension of most people. It’s the hidden truth that white oppressive forces don’t want we Africans to ever learn.
“The general population doesnt know what's happening, and it doesnt even know that it doesn't know.” - Noam Chomsky
There are four ways to effectively socialize an entire generation of people. By what they’re taught, by what they see, by what they hear, and through repetition. Because the white society controls the education we’re taught, the media images we see, and the societal narratives that we repetitively routinely hear - they’ve exploited these combined factors to covertly socialize the collective minds of Black people to think in ways that benefits the white society without most even realizing it.
This isn’t some feeble minded conspiracy theory - as so many of us have been socialized to respond. It’s absolute truth- it’s hidden knowledge.
THE REASON:
There’s an immense concern of massive unified Black retribution that secretly exists amongst white nations that have brutally oppressed Africans and grossly exploited Africa’s natural resources for over five hundred years. There’s also an unrelenting commitment towards the preservation of white social dominance over Black people. This immense concern of unified Black retribution and unrelentingly commitment towards the preservation of white social dominance over Black people resulted in the white society socializing the minds of Black masses to think in ways that serves this concern and agenda. The white society's exploitation of Africans has also provided it with an era of which it has flourished most throughout history. To allow this era to end would be directly against the interests of the white society. Especially given that the white society dependence on Africa’s natural resources is forever, they instead socialized Africans to think in ways that allows them to continue their exploitation and subjugation of Africans without resistance. To not have socialized Africans would’ve placed the white society’s in direct conflict with it’s own interests. Therefore accordingly the white secretly socialized Africans. It’s the true hidden reason why many Black people are now self loathing, perceives ourselves as being our worst enemies, and reveres and defends Caucasians - in spite of such a brutally horrific history to the contrary. This noted mindset amongst many Black people - that clearly benefits the white society - exist because the collective aggressions of the Black masses has been deliberately shifted away from the white society and redirected against ourselves through the white society’s socializing of our minds.
