Usenokpevbo: 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? |

BeingCamping: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 3 Likes 1 Share |

aribisala0: 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 |

garfield1: Apart from the tribal squabbles for which this forum is infamous, what is the point of this thread? |
Re: Which Ethnicity Has The Richest And Most Beautiful Culture In Nigeria? by RedboneSmith(m): 8:29am On Dec 26, 2021 |
garfield1: 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. 1 Like 1 Share |

ariesbull: 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 |

aribisala0: LoL... It is called Arochukwu (pure igbo name) Another name is Okigbo (The great igbo) The king is Eze.... We have taken the land forever.... Same with Abriba and Ohafua axis |
Re: Which Ethnicity Has The Richest And Most Beautiful Culture In Nigeria? by ariesbull: 12:20pm On Dec 26, 2021 |
aribisala0: I am an Aro.... We migrated from there and we know our warlike attitude 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. |

ariesbull: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 |
Re: Which Ethnicity Has The Richest And Most Beautiful Culture In Nigeria? by aribisala0(m): 3:35pm On Dec 26, 2021 |
ariesbull: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 |
Re: Which Ethnicity Has The Richest And Most Beautiful Culture In Nigeria? by ariesbull: 4:59pm On Dec 26, 2021 |
aribisala0: 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 Now deal with this We mark ikeji to celebrate that victory till date... I will invite you to one

ariesbull: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 |
Re: Which Ethnicity Has The Richest And Most Beautiful Culture In Nigeria? by ariesbull: 9:49pm On Dec 26, 2021 |

Re: Which Ethnicity Has The Richest And Most Beautiful Culture In Nigeria? by Hotice085: 10:53am On Dec 31, 2021 |
ariesbull:. 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: 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. 1 Like 1 Share |
