You don't jump into a debate by labelling someone a coon. And where did I say, "Igbo's aren't Bantu's" in my posts? It shows you don't pay attention to details, you just jump everywhere like a kangaroo. Get a life!

1st Clarification......"coon" as in carlton coon..so called 18th century scientist who categorizes people based on looks and less on genetic similarity.

2nd clarification..... I believe I was actually the first or second responder to this post stating how your initial premise was incorrect on reasons for migration patterns of bantu

3rd clarification.....you stated several groups in Nigeria including Ijaw, ibibio and igbo were Bantu because you simply couldn't use just linguistics to seperate the two groups but added that genetic similarities drew that conclusion in association with similar "looks. You were pointed to the fact that a variety of NON bantu groups extending all the way to senegal carry similar Ydna and are different in looks from identified bantu groups.

Where are you drawing the correlation from then?

Well as aforementioned I view all West African languages as having a common ancestor. It would not surprise me that we were once all the same. Also, I do not let Westerners brainwash me with the inferiority/superiority complex. If anything, whenever I speak to a Westerner about Africa, when they talk about North Africa and Ancient Egypt, I put them in their place. The French especially are the most racist when it comes to who ancient Egyptians were.

Did you see the sculpture they made?

My mistake! There's a few Igbo in Eq Guinea only. They have such an influence that Igbo is an official language in Eq Guinea. Also I never mentioned anything about The Igbo and Fang being related!

igbo is not an official language in equatorial guinea, stop peddling lies, igbo is not an official language in Nigeria and u think it will b the case in another country, where they ain't even indigenous?

CAMEROONPRIDE: igbo is not an official language in equatorial guinea, stop peddling lies, igbo is not an official language in Nigeria and u think it will b the case in another country, where they ain't even indigenous?

My mistake. Still, the Igbo aren't bantu. There will never be any type of bantu nationalism or unity!

U ain't making sense here , Bantu is not an ethnic group but a group of ethnicity.

How come the powerful Igbo couldn't extend their territory? comparing the Bantu race with igbo is laughable there's no match and it is not even far .

Please re-read what I wrote. I said Bantu ethnic groups. Emphasis on the "s" at the end of the word "groups".
The bantu are only unified by related languages.

My friend take a chill pill .and tell me more about how Igbo are the most successful tribe in Africa ah ah still on the floor. Well igbo are known because of two things
1) they constantly go in people land, they can stay home, maybe u can tell me why.
2) size .u can't compare an ethnicity of les than 10M. people with one of more than 30M dumb azz

Will b waiting for ur next idiotic comment

still doesnt make most as in ? Bantu are over 400.000.000 today distributed in more than 2000 ethnicity so the ones that are less powerful , successful or couldn't leave their enclave is because of size or where overshadowed by others Bantu groups

Hehehe!So what did they achieved in their history?Stop believing your own hype!Dyu know the saying "empty bins are always......."?
