PAGAN 9JA: I wasn't using the bible as a reference for justice or inspiration for abolitionists. I am simply saying that slavery in the Americas was even worse compared to what is relayed therein. I mean, we all know that the slave-mongers 'baptised' our ancestors' 'soulless' kin before sending them to their doom. |

About 4hundred years ago my family moved from some where in kogi to Ido-Ekiti, since then we have been recognized as Ekiti-Yoruba. Ekiti migrated from Ile-Ife and is one of the earliest migrations from Ile-Ife in yorubaland |

I can trace mine to the founder of my tribe, a nilote who was attracted to the Bantus way of life. Bantus did this alot, even let him be King in turns. He married a local wife, and about ten others who make up our sub tribes, whose sons make up the clans within the sub tribes, and their grand children the family divisions, their great grand children the house divisions, ,great great grand children the door subdivision. The founder of my ancestral door is my, ,great, great, great grand father. This goes back a few Hundreds of years. Our population now is over ten million. |

My great great great great grandfather was a businessman from Atani, Arochukwu and a relative of Eze Agwu Inobia. I have ancestors from the Oke Nnachi and Ibom Isii lineages as well. My DNA indicates that my patrilineage were originally Bantus from present day Cameroon that migrated into the Arochukwu area. My mother’s side comes from Nri. We are descendants of Eri. He was originally from the Igala Kingdom and settled in Northern Igboland. |
