What, you doubt Yoruba mathematics. You’re obviously a European. We’ll have you know that the first space program was in Africa, consisting of a giant sling shot that propelled a man 500 feet in the air. And what of the all those codes of law that came out of ancient Africa? You probably think that a written language is important.

Oops,I forgot the Yoruba math.

Fineman’s quantum thermodynamic equations would have been impossible without it not to mention the Zulu contribution to small arms technology,Kikuyu advancements in post-colonial administration of Kenya,Bantu control of a new and improved Congo and the Xhosa running a once world power like South Africa.

But seriously,the roots of English composition,the supreme accomplishment of written language,from Islamic North Africa script is nothing to sneeze at.

But when those who invented the characters we so eloquently use and abuse can write nothing more profound than death to the infidel,I find it hard to be grateful.
