The Igbos are the richest black tribe financially, it is uncontested, travel and see

Richest Wetin?

Meth don destroy your brain.

Usenokpevbo:
In two large groups of about 40 million each, top 10 richest should matter less you get the point

If top richest doesn’t matter, how then do you quantify the riches and how do you arrive at the figure?

Is it GDP or per capital income or what?

The Igbos are the richest black tribe financially. Their individualistic approach to life has helped in aiding that. The Igbo man will rather work for himself than another man. Even Reno who wrote a piece praising the sophistication of the Yorubas also wrote another piece praising the financial buoyancy of the Igbos. For every 3 Yorubas on the list of the top billionaires in Nigeria, there are more than A thousand Millionaires in Nnewi alone and that is what truly matters at the end of the day in this analysis,that is the definition of true prosperity, anyone who chooses to argue against this fact deceives himself. Not one man holding large chunk of wealth and a large chunk waiting for crumb from such man, and some others are serial civil servant. EL Rufai once said that 60% of properties in Abuja are owned by the Igbos.

Go to Sabon Gari, Kano. Go and see what the Igbos have built out of another man's land, a Friend of mine in Pankshin, plateau state discussed with me about the daring nature of the Igbo man, will leave his People in Nsukka and relocate to his land and with consistency build the biggest house in his land. The guts of the Igbo man is unbelievable

agbada it made for the chiefs or elderly people among the Yorubas... It is a symbol of respect in our tradition.. that's why we call it agbada... Simply mean something that is main for elders...

We came from northern Africa... It is our cuture no body introduce it to us...
Oduduwa came later to partake in our development....

Yoruba are indigenous to many West African countries...Seria loean, Ghana Togo, Benin republic... AMERICA ... Brazil , Trinidad and Tobago and Cuba ....

You came from Northern Africa?

Historically the Calabar/Ibibio were masters of Ibos,
They sold them as slaves, , Established a dynasty in Aro which is there till tomorrow and were generally a civilizing influence introducing the Ekpe society, Nsibidi and a lot more. to people who had not evolved beyond the Umunna or clan level of political organization

To that extent it is a superior culture with no confusion about origin or identity

Do you know that the igbo killed and took their lands and enslaved them... Today the land is Arochukwu or okigbo

Do you know that half of Abia are efik and ibibio land but Igbo took it over by war and established their towns lands from Aba to Abriba

Do you know the reason why Igbo war dance with heads... It is to celebrate their conquest


Now tell me one land that yoruba conquered... None but they lost major towns from lokoja to kwarra

If igbo are keen in taking lagos they will eventually and that will happen in decades to come

Do you even know what objective means?!!!

This is someone who says someone's culture is clownish because it doesn't conform with his (or even other people's) ideas about cultural aestethics. If that is not the very definition of subjective, please tell me what is?

How old are you? This entire thread and your comments are so childish.

That s fiction

The Akamkpa established a dynasty in Aro which still reigns till today


This was a platform for use in selling Ibo slaves
The Aro people just like the Ngwa have always been clear they were not Ibos .
The Creaton of Nigeria and the Civil war forced them into the NEW Ibo identity

The Truth is that
The original Ibo speaking Aros were enslaved by the Akamkpa and that continues till today

Aro History

Arochukwu is believed to have been the homeland of the Ibibio as they arrived in 300 AD from the Benue valley and founded early states like Obong Okon Ita and Ibom. Many years passed as Igbo immigrants came along and pressed into the Ibibio occupied territory and founded several states.



The first Igbo group were the Ezeagwu group led by Nna Uru. As Aro-Ibibio wars occurred, there was a stalemate. In reaction, Igbo leaders invited a priest named Nnachi from the Edda clan of northeastern Igboland and another group from the east of the Cross River through Nnachi's son Oke Nnachi. These people were identified as the Akpa people as their firearms attracted their Igbo allies. Akpa forces led by Osim and Akuma Nnubi, they helped the Igbo forces capture the area and settled in the Aro region. This formed the alliance of 19 new and old states in the area known as the Arochukwu kingdom around 1650-1700.



The first king (or Eze Aro) of a unified Arochukwu was Akuma but after his death, Oke Nnachi took over and his descendants have the throne to this day. Slave trade hit the hinterland around the same time.

​​​

Slave trade formed the Aro Confederacy which was an alliance of the Aros and their related Cross River neighbours (mainly Igbo) which was led by the powerful Eze Aro (king of the Aros), other chiefs, and agents of Ibin Ukpabi. After the confederacy evolved, more Aro businessmen left their homeland to settle in hundreds of settlements mostly in Nigeria and claimed Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea.



The confederacy was very influential as it monopolized trade in Eastern Nigeria, Delta areas, southern Igala areas and perhaps even beyond the borders of Nigeria by oracular and economical forces. Some slaves were captured by fierce Aro slave raiders and warriors were feared and backed up by allies such as Ohafia, Abam, Bende, Abiriba, Afikpo and other warrior lands that supplied recruiters and mercenaries.

IN SHORT
Aro was enslaved by Akamkpa who established a ruling dynasty that reign till tomorrow and they used that platform to raid and trade in Ibo slaves for centuries
Of course when the slave trade ended there was a rise in population of Ibo speaking slaves but those who reign in Aro are descendants of the Akamkpa Nnubi clan

What happened to Ibo enwe Eze?

Kano is Hausa but is ruled by a Fulani dynasty so the issue of "pure Ibo name " is an irrelevance

The kings in Aro are descendants of Nnubi the Akamkpa overlord whilst a large segment of society were their former slaves

Even if they are descendants of Iron man.. The bottom line is that ARO is a captured territory ruled by igbo and the 9 villages that make up the village is purely igbo rules BY Eze not obong and the name of ARO is Okigbo meaning the Great Igbo

Yes it was captured by the Akamkpa

They instaled their versiion of government with a King whose dynasty reigns to this they
They also established the Ekpe society and other dynastic titles among MEN of Akamkpa descent
Everyone knows their place in Aro ; conquered and conqueror

says who..... Igbo that are stubborn will be the higher slave to in hinterland while yoruba that are very passive and submissive with slave port in badagry and even begged to be colonised with their army of slaves in Brazil and South America's


Dude even till date yoruba are the most submissive and passive amongst all the Nigerian tribes known for their taciturn life are and were the highest slaves in black history

You don't even know Jack, you are just using emotions and sentiments to Puff up your chest
The two highest slave port were Badagry and Calabar, more than 90% that left calabar were who?
Look Mr stop getting sentimental and read up history, even when Reno Omikri came out with some hard fact Igbo's couldn't challenged him
History is history

SlyDev:


Clothes omo we get dem in different colours sizes and design, asooke, sanyan, adire etc these are different cloth material o

Artifacts, according archaeologist, Yoruba arts are only rivalled by Nile civilization in Egypt

Language, before colonial era, Yoruba is spoken wide from Bini Palace in Nigeria to Ghana

Music, talking drum, sekere cool angelic language of Yoruba have conquered Nigeria music industry

Oyo houses were copied to be replicated by ashanti in Ghana because they were beauty of the olden days

Have you read how oyo empire wage war? Lay siege, excellent archer in sub Saharan africa, best soldiers in sub Saharan africa. Have you read about how Oyo conquered Dahomey then defeat ashanti a century later


Aboy these are rich culture and history not yam festival

All these Yoruba propagandists will not have a meaningful life until they add Benin to their culture.
Is Benin the source that must be added to Yoruba for yoruba culture to make relevance?


How can Yoruba be spoken in a whole Benin palace?

Even your chief propagandist called Tao has been beaten hands down on this topic when she was spreading it like wildfire.

The Olukimi people that spoke Yoruba in the Benin kingdom were slaves.

Put that in the right context and quit trying to twist facts like the royal blood and citizens of Benin kingdom spoke Yoruba language.
