Most Afrikans Will Say They Are the Oldest and First People.

The Igbo people will say they are the first and oldest people in the world. The Yoruba people of Nigeria will also say the same. The Ewe in Ghana called themselves, Amuawo, which means the first people, which has the same meaning as Akanfo.

The Great Kongo.

In the Great Kongo, the BaKongo people will say, "The Kikongo language, is the language of creation." This is how far back our history goes. To the dawn of time and the universe (Ye fre tete Odomankoma).

We know who we are. We know our history. The first people. Speaking the most ancient of languages. Languages that formed the foundations of all major languages in the world.

Do the Asians and Europeans (who our ancestors called Ofre Jato, (albinos), know their true history and origins? We know who we are. Do they know who they are and their very true origins?

“It is thus with me, Persian: I have never fled for fear of any man, nor do I now flee from you; but as to the reason why I do not straightway fight with you, this too I will tell you. For we Scythians have no towns or planted lands, that we might meet you the sooner in battle; we have the graves of our fathers; come, find these and essay to destroy them; then shall you know whether we will fight you." Scythian King to Darius of Persia. The Scythians ancestors to modern day Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians were one of the most feared forces of the ancient world. Inconquerable and unpredictable; at one point an entire Roman cohort out in the Russian Steppe was conducting its training, the grass was calm as was the wind and out of nowhere several whistling arrows disoriented the entire cohort, focussed on an attack from the right flank it came from behind; as they assumed defensive formations the Scythians encircled the entire cohort firing their poisonous arrows at the centre; it was like target practice, mentions Plutarch; none survived. The Scythian bow was an accurate masterpiece of antiquity that inspired later Turkic Steppe archery. What's important to note is that they established a trade root around the Black Sea into the Balkans selling their arrows to the Thracians and Illyrians. Scythian archery revolutionised Thracian and Illyrian ranged combat which prior, mostly relied on javelin throwing and slinging.

By Maria Tsvetkova KRASNODAROVKA Russia (Reuters) - A Reuters reporter saw on Thursday a column of armoured vehicles and dust-covered troops, one of them with an injured face, driving through the Russian steppe just across the border from a part of Ukraine which Kiev says is occupied by Russian troops. None of the men or vehicles had standard military identification marks, but the reporter saw a Mi-8 helicopter with a red star insignia -- consistent with Russian military markings -- land next to a nearby military first aid tent. Asked if he was with the Russian military, a man in camouflage fatigues without any identifying insignia who was in the area of the tent, said only: "We are patriots." The column of armoured vehicles was driving east away from the Ukrainian border across open countryside near the village of Krasnodarovka in Russia's Rostov region. The location is about 3 km (2 miles) from the Ukraine-Russia border and 30 km (20 miles) from the Ukrainian town of Starobesheve, which Kiev says Russian forces have occupied in support of pro-Moscow separatist rebels after crossing over the border.
