If you do an Internet image search, http://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 to have a feel of
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 http://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.
