If you do an Internet image search,
www.google.com on the following
Nigerian names: Haruna, Sambo, Pankan, Kwashi, Imoko, Chika, Azuka,
Ezuka, Koma, Zoro, Watanabe, Nene, Osato, Osaru, Okada, Edo, Baba, Emiko,
Kano, Nana, Aya, Tami, Tai, Sada, Ikimi, Ume, you will more
likely see a Japanese link than a Nigerian link.
The writing system of Japanese hides the striking
similarities between Japanese and African languages. But on closer
examination of the syllables that make up the
Kanji character set, the syllables
easily describe the Nigerian Languages.
Japanese festivals and dressing are very African in
color combination. Also Shinto
is about shrines, ancestors, mountain spirits, tree spirits, the so-called
heathen religions that was used to justify the enslavement of Blacks.

Japanese were bleached out by invading Mongolians, that
is why Southern Japanese people are darker-skinned than their northern
counterparts.
Chinese and Korean map to the
Calabar languages of South-Southern Nigeria. One
has to listen to and see the physical stature someone from that part of
Nigeria to have a feel of the similarities to Chinese and Koreans.
Unfortunately, because of the Eurocentric nature of post-colonial
Nigerians, the Calabar people cannot understand why Chinese and Koreans
are their bleached-out descendants. Martial Arts is of African
origin.

The website
www.legendarytimes.com uses legends to drill deep into prehistory
because they are the only source of prehistory. However, scientific means
are used to interpret these legends. My own contribution to ancient
astronautics is based on the interpretation of the
If a Oracle oral literature which
uses symbolic language to describe the descent of
Orunmila in a spacecraft. Simply put
the descent of Gods from the skies was by a means, so technologically
advanced that missionary interpretations portray it as magic. Technology
is nature's gift to man. The First World was not a Cave World.
