ChinenyeN: Some northern settlements run back to at least 800. Most southern settlements especially in Abia State don't go back further than 1300, that's not including the 200 year old villages. Northern Igboland is also more populated. Abagworo: I doubt anything from Ohafia or any other town close to it concerning Benin is widespread let alone pre-colonial. You usually hear about it when Igbo groups claim others but it has never come up out of peoples theories. This may even be the same for Ikwere and some others. |

Northern Igboland is also more populated.I want to contend the premise, but seeing that you're speaking on settlements, I can understand why you would say "much older". I still don't see age being a pronounced factor in the northern axis' city-states vs the southern axis' -land concept though. |

Abagworo:i am not disputing any person's origin but am saying that igbos who are not of eri descent are very few and those people are not really igbos but igbonised people. Eri people in aro and ngwa must have been too many more than the foreigners that they could be able to influence those people in everything. |
Re: Urbanism And Expansionism In The Culture Of The Igbo by Antivirus92(m): 7:02am On Jul 16, 2012 |
ChinenyeN:you're neither full blooded ngwa nor aro at all. Why are you crying for them. They are descendants of eri brother mixed with other people who came across the river. |

Stop assuming based on your personal feelings. |

Abagworo: Stop assuming based on your personal feelings.if you're actually refering to me;know it now, i am not assuming but saying the truth. Prove me wrong if you can, even with all those your written fallacies. |

ChinenyeN: Yep. I intentionally meant to write Aro; learned it from reading your writing. I figured it would get your attention. Lol. It worked Abagworo: I've never heard of Ohafia claiming to be from Benin. Please, let's try to be serious when discussing these topics so as to avoid introducing confusion. Ohafia people share blood relations with people from Ihechiowa, Ututu, Abam, Edda and (by extension) Arochukwu. These groups are known as the Cross River Igbo and their origins can be partly traced to east of the river Cross River. I'm getting tired of this Benin origin thing. Very soon, people will say that the Efik claim Benin origin. |

You people should wait. I am still under a very serious study. I will after that give you a complete and nearer- to-perfect history of the igbos. Not this fallacy u are carrying about |

Only amongst we igbos where you find people who have not ever seen their village before coming on NL to write about igbo history. We igbos are a unique bunch arent we? We have all manner of people amongst us; even nut.jobs . Ihe agha mere igbo.... |
Re: Urbanism And Expansionism In The Culture Of The Igbo by Malawian(m): 9:52pm On Jul 16, 2012 |
To all the nut jobs amongst us, i might have a solution for you! There is this commentor on sahara reporters that go by the nom "pastor commander samyong onwuzulike" honestly, his posts can make a mad man sane immediately . Do yourselves a favour will ya? A mind is a terrible thing to waste! And i mean all you "bini descendants" trying to claim igbo by force! |

ChinenyeN: Thought it means "izu ka nma na nne" or "siblings do agree". |
