Yes sir

Vessi:

Gone through your posts, you're always taking sides with Igbos and beef Yoruba's. Why?

Sweetguy25:
Nigeria was created in 1914. Were the Igbos occupants of the British territory called Nigeria in 1914? Yes they were.

End of story.

lepasharon:
hat they branched out of igbo and formed their own thing

So where do the igboid ethnic groups come from? Like efik and annang, I believe they branched out of igbos

MalcoImX:
Sources were even provided from IPOB website that showed the Cameroonian origins of the Biafrans.

mansakhalifa:
@sukkot Where in my post was Biafra mentioned? Where did you find that,sir? If the ibos have changed the name of their tribe to biafra then I am afraid I ain't aware of that. The tribe has always been known as ibo from earliest record and I don't think much has changed. The Biafra issue is a new dimension. What the Portuguese named or christened biafra was a region stretching from the Kameruns(or perhaps parts of eastern Nigerian coast in my opinion) to what is today Gabon. With time the water body south of that region(stretching from the eastern region of what is today Nigeria to Gabon) somehow came to be known as the bight of biafra(today bight of Bonny since the end of the civil war). When the time came for Ojukwu to name his country the name of the water body south of the Eastern region came in handy and he called it Biafra. So,as Nigeria got its name from a water body(a river) so did Biafra get its name from another water body(a bay/bight) this time...

mansakhalifa:
@sukkot When he called the country Biafra,he was not trying to admit the bogus claims like the ones we have here that the ibos were or are not from somewhere in Cameroun or wherever[b] he merely named it after a geographical feature-in this case,the Bight of Biafra. [/b]A name had to come from somewhere. Infact,I read somewhere where it was stated that the name "Biafra" just tickled his fancy and he picked it.

mansakhalifa:
@sukkot Even the yorubas will tell you that their ancestors moved into what is now Nigeria from Egypt(or Arabia). The Kibakus(of chibok fame) will tell you they migrated from outside the borders of this country to where they are today. The ancestors of the Kanuris lived East of the lake Chad(present-day Chad) before moving to where they are today. And there are many tales like that as far as the tribes in this country are concerned. So,even if the ibos moved to where they are now from Cameroun,burkina faso or wherever how is that a problem. How the constitution defines who a citizen is is what we,as educate as we are,should be looking at. Not some derelict piece of cartography that goes way back to the 1800s. For that reason I will refer you to section 25. Case closed. Besides trolling ain't a mature thing to do since it merely exposes you. Nothing personal. Got nothing to lose or gain from this baseless topic. Salaam. I'm out.

CAMNEWTON4PRES:


Igbos are Bantu Cameroonian and most Igbos look Cameroonian ..esp southern/central Cameroonian

CAMNEWTON4PRES:

Ah ah
Most Yoruba posters in the daily Igbo vs Yoruba clashes on NL don't make sense and I only side with common sense,they are also very uncouth and loud mouthed, furthermore I like fairness, Igbo are a majority tribe they ought to be treated as such, and I don't like the way some Yoruba are calling for their massacre despite knowing fully well that another civil war will mean doom and instability to the whole sub region .
Last but not the least Igbos are Bantu Cameroonian im my brother's keeper .
Yoruba are the problem of Nigeria

kingzizzy:
I wonder how anybody can say that Igbo land isnt on the map when Asaba is clearly on the map

I don't know how to read constitutions, check for ur self http://nigeriaworld.com/focus/constitution/chapter1.html

kingzizzy:


Use your head. Why would the ancient Navigators call the Sea by the area "The Bight Of Biafra" if Biafra was thst Inland? They called the Sea After the Kingdom Of Biafra thst used to cover the area now called SE/SS as well the Southern Cameroons. In map below, Biafra in green colour stretches from the Southern Cameroon through the SE/SS and stops at the Bini Empire

ApexPredator:
Lol Morons. Nigeria is a British created entity. Igbos had already settled on this VACANT land before the British arrived West Africa . Hence it is ours. We might be closer genetically to Cameroonians, but that doesn't make SE Nigeria any less of our possession.

oladeebo:

I don't love those who refuse to understand in debate!
I want you to proof me wrong and people were here to judge!
ok be patient!
There is Biafra dead country, created by the Portuguese, and that is only biafra state exit world wide before it died, no biafra elsewhere!
and it's territory covered the Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial guinea!
So am argue with you why dead biafra resuscitated in Nigeria territory?
why anybody can't come to Nigeria and agitating for Dahomey?

sukkot:
this is the bottomline, a group of people called the bantus in ancient times setlled in the cameroon region. with time they travelled to the south east of nigeria. they couldnt go further west because there were established empires like the benin and yoruba. so the point is, the reason why igbo has no long history in nigeria, which all historians allude to, is because you are the last mass migration into nigeria from cameroon. point being if today you are the 3rd largest tribe in the country there should be documented history of your existence in nigeria but there is none, which alludes to what that map is alluding to by not having igbo on the map. when exactly did you all come in mass ? i dont know exact dates but i will suspect its within the last 400 years. you people migrate very quickly. its like how in lagos in the sixties you will hardly see an igbo man. but in 2017 there are like 4 million or more igbos in lagos. so in just 40 years 4 million igbos appeared all of a sudden in lagos. so within the past 300 years i can see how 50 million igbos just appeared in that region from nowhere. now if that ancient map was drawn today they would include igbo because you are 40 million or so. but when that ancient map was drawn you were so few that it didnt matter to include you. maybe it was like 10,000 of you. then the mass migration of the rest happened within the past 300 years. thats the point

oladeebo:

I totally disagree with you!
before the arrival of British, there was Portuguese explorer or to say slave traders, who patronage the bight of Benin, the bight of biafra! those bight isname by them, Portuguese is the owner of biafra name, when the slave trade boom they crated a country name it biafra! and that's where the bight of biafra come from and this have nothing to do with biafra created by ojukwu!
so if biafra is right reserved ojukwu will not use the name or he be forced to pay for it!
So igbo migrated from the area into Nigeria! As the immigrant didn't have the right for self determination, igbo lack legal right to agitate for the land in Nigeria for secession, they can go to Cameroon , Gabon or Equatorial guinea where they have right!

sukkot:
that bullcrap. you dont need to conquer a people before identifying them on a map. it doesnt work like that. you simply send a representative to ask what the name of the tribe is and then include it on the map. i dont know where you come up with this erroneous idea that you have to conquer someone before putting them on a map

millhouse:
Kai what has happened to sukkot?? Of course u have to conquer a territory before including them in a map.. How do u want to include them just like that...hia! Na WA o

golddust6000:
The op is an illitrate.

sukkot:
you mean illiterate ?

ossiamatown:
Sukkot I know you want the Igbos to know their origin and maybe by so doing they might calm down. The truth of the matter is you just added salt and pepper to the whole thing. You might as well trigger an online war. You are a Yoruba man and history like this coming from you mean just one thing, hate.

The country has a whole is not helping matter. We are not fair to ourselves. It looks like we are forcing ourselves to live together. You Sukkot has some unconscious hatred for the Igbos from your comment so far.

I want you to understand one thing. This people will not stop until they got what they want. They are not speaking one voice yet and the whole country is going gaga. Your post will only unite them the more so be very careful. The North did a major damage with their utterances and you a Yoruba man is about to do another damage.

Sukkot don't add to the hate that is already brewing. I expect you to channel your post and thread to peaceful coexistence but I'm so surprised it's full of hate for your fellow brother who is fight for what he believes.

I believe in one Nigeria. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

realjoker:
seems like comprehension is your major problem.
This is for state creation and not for secession.
