What do y’all think? eurasians practicing Capoeira while Afrikans=Black people practice Chinese and other “martial” arts.

The Asians popularized their form of physical combat in part by creating an entire genre of movies focused on showcasing this. This mass marketing effort did not go unnoticed by Afrikans and thus influenced us to think (through the magic of movie-making) that it is the more ferocious form of combat sciences that there are. Afrikans can create a genre of movies in this manner with Capoeira. To my knowledge, there is only one movie which features Capoeira, but I could be wrong. I recently saw a news story on the rise in popularity of Dambe Boxing in Nigeria. The problem is they need gov’t support to develop the sport further. South Korea did this with Tae Kwon Do, and Hong Kong did this with their Kung Fu movie industry. Afrikans must stop begging for “foreign investment” and invest in ourselves.

Abibi- is a prefix, not used free-standing like that.

I think you’re looking for “obibini” – Black person (singular); plural is abibifoɔ ‘Black people’

Meda wo ase.
Note that wo is the object of meda rather than a possessor of ase. Thus, the correct spelling is Meda wo ase, although, in pronunciation, it would sound similar to how you’ve rendered it.
