Why Do Igbos Claim To Be That They Are From Ethiopia Originally?
« on: November 09, 2007, 07:41 PM »

Is it true that Igbos are originally from Ethiopia?

I never heard before that any tribes in West Africa would be from Ethiopia or the Horn of Africa.

May be you were browsing with your computer screen turned upside down.  Or you might just be expressing a figment of your imagination.

IGBOS are from IGBOLAND, Thank you.

So what if they are poverty sticken now, those people you just insulted had one of the earliest civilizations in human history along with the Eyptians and Nubians who were all black. It's possible that some of these people migrated to what is now called Nigeria. Oduduwa of the yoruba tribe is said to have migrated from around the vicinity of the river Nile after the invasion of the arabs and religious persecution.
You're so proud to say you're nigerian and that is laudable but do you even know how "Nigeria" came to be. The british crackers decided it would be much easier for them to combine the northern part of the country and the southern part and Lord Lugard's wife came up with a beautiful name Grin Grin Grin NIGER AREA (Nigeria), so in 1914 our people became Nigerians Wink At least Ethiopia has been Ethiopia for centuries and their problems now are very sad.
It's annoying to see Africans feed into the white man's propaganda and feed into the negative image of africa portrayed in the western media.

So ghettochyk, stop acting ghetto, that sh#t ain't cute.  Pick up a book.

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!! You are actually more ignorant than the average ghetto, barrio or trailer park girl. I'm not Igbo but they are my people too.
So if you consider my reply stupid, do you mind telling me something intelligent rather than rant

PS: Ghetto chicks don't  "Hissssssssssssss"  Grin Grin, Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Thanks Dios
I'm Igbo but sometimes I get ashamed of my people because of their arrogance and ignorance. Here is an Igbo girl insulting Ethiopians because the Ethiopian brother gently asked a question. Here she is defending the British's creation called Nigeria, while most her people( IE the MASSOB) are fighting and dying to separate from Nigeria.
