[QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [QB] Mark [QUOTE] [b]The story as written by Mohammed Bello about Oduduwa being from Mecca makes no sense.[/b] [/QUOTE]Did or did not folks from Yemen.. came to west Africa? you see if Yemenis can go to West Africa then West Africans can travel to Arabia and back..it is the ol Africans can't or never travel beyond their comfort zones mentality again...I myself have at times have to bring myself out of that conditioning...yess Africans like everybody else did and do travel,another example I read somewhere is of a group of East Africans returning home from Arabia to establish a kingdom I think in one of Dr Clarks book if anyone knows what I am talking about please post.Now that was in east Africa so it was a little closer but it could be even futher west if you think about it.I had a post when I first sign up here about a Ghanian friend of mine who according to his tradition that when the Ga,first came to Ghana the Ashanti was living on the coast and his people arrived by boats in their thousands and the Ashanti or the ancestors of the Ashantis fled inland and they occupied the coast they got their name from the the Ashantis meaning ants because that's what they looked like floating out at sea and it is believed that they were Jews at the time and came from somewhere in Arabia..now their official history states something different and so I pooh poohed him to death,but why couldn't both be true? Plus there is this distaste of many for having Eastern influence even East African influence in West Africa as it may conflict with the notation of West Africans having their own unique history. It had taken some time but I have came to the conclusion that yes Africans in no part of the Continent were completely isolated from the rest of the world again explain Benin hbs in ancient Greece? Btw my friend's family name?.. [b]Omani[/b] . [/QB][/QUOTE]
