Only if Igbos will take time and study who their forbears were and their great achievements, most of you will go mad in anger for the intentional subjugation and obfuscation of your true identity. One thing you may have noticed is all books written pre and during colonial era all mention Igbos and speak highly of them. I have said and will continue to say this...Igbos are not ordinary black people; whites are aware of this as clearly evidenced in the words of the author. Give them Biafra and watch them build a civilization never seen before in a black nation. Give them 20 yrs, they will be in space to hang Biafran flag. This is what the world fears...a black nation doing this. I thank God for Nnamdi Kanu who is doing a fabulous job reeducating our people again. 20 Likes 1 Share |

Ramnon2: When a white man extols a slave it means the nigger is a good slave worthy of keeps. What makes a good slave? Obedience, simple! Yessa Massa! In Haiti, the Dahomeans and Ashantis revolted. In Bahia the Yorubas revolted...to the point that many were repatriated out of Bahia and back home to West Africa rather than risk another uprising and victory in the hands of slaves. It shows what Iboes have always been, and what they are till today .....a people perfectly endowed for servitude! 2 Likes |

BraniacX:Don't be silly, you yorober ignorant fool who sees racism and tribalism in everything. You want to suppress our history because it wasn't written by the Lagos-Ibadan express press to favor your barbarous clan. What are you afraid of? This is history written down by independent observers many centuries ago and you can't rewrite but accept it, sorry. You want to ignore facts when you should be advocating for it to be taught in schools for the benefit of our children. No wonder you Nigerians lag behind in everything. This is exactly how your fathers suppressed the Biafran civil war history and stopped it being taught in schools while using your Lagos-Ibadan useless press to rewrite what actually caused the war and try to confuse our Igbo children as to what actually happened and lead to the war. Racist ko, missionary ni. 8 Likes |

DonXavi:That indomitable spirit is the reason why the British during independence, overlooked the Igbo and handed over the ruling of their estate called Nigeria into the hands of those they see as mumus that will always bend their arrss when asked to do so. They knew all the ethnic groups very well and know that Igbos don't take nonsense from anyone and as such their estate can not last long enough for them to plunder as they wish, where the Igbos left on their own. They sited all the military installation in the north to use in checkmating the Igbos whenever they rise up to take their destiny into their hands, yet that ain't detering Igbos in their quest to free themselves from the british shackle of slavery which the north and west desires so much to be left into. 7 Likes 1 Share |

DikeOha882: But they were also made slaves in the first place, history recorded that too. Its not as if every place that had Igbo's experienced revolts or that Igbo's were the only ones that attempted it. Do you know how many islands and countries that had both Igbo and Yoruba slaves but did not record them revolting? The boasting is unnecessary IMO. |

Sparkle777: No, it simply means that he observed more fair skinned populations in Igbo land than in other negroid places in Africa. I have often cautioned my Igbo brothers not to quickly dismiss a possible link with the Israelite of the Bible. The first day I saw Bianca Onoh, I was convinced that her mother must be white -cos I knew her dad was black- but it turned out that her mum was black also. If both of her parents were black, where did her looks come from? Even today,I know many Igbo who have "white" features: skin complexion, hair texture, frame, etc. Without a doubt, there is something very "Un-negro" about the Igbo, but we are proud Africans. 1 Like |

carnegiefan: You are attributing black features to white people. There are ranges of skin tones features and hair textures that are black. Which race only has one type of skin tone features etc. Look at the range belonging to the white and Asian races....why would the black race lack the same naturally occurring variety? We need to stop seeing ourselves as a stereotype. It is the white man that created the lie that we don't naturally have that range because racism and racial segregation hinges on the suggestion that certain features are only European or Caucasian. |

carnegiefan: This is not the first time a white would make this "white" observation about the Igbo people. There are so many of such observations in medieval anthropolgy. A cousin of mine, IGBO, with black features who lives in the US once told me how she was informed that her geneology showed traces of caucasian people. She was so surprised and decided to do it the second time elsewhere, and convincinly the result was the same. The issue of Igbo and or semitic connection has been proved beyond reasonable doubt. GAD was the son of ERI, ARELI and ARODI in the Bible, Genesis 46: 16. ERI, so pronounced, replicates as a man who founded Umu-Eri town. ARELI, so pronounced, replicates as a man who founded Agu-reli town and so with the Arodi and Aro town. Then the ancient courtyard/temple called Obu-Gad (the abode of Gad in Aguleri existing for thousands of years). How could all these be by happenstance? Then the unique hebraic customs of Igbo people.... Something un-negro about Igbo people? A resounding yes! 5 Likes |

I can see some igbo claiming white and European and Israelite because they have fair skin? really! talk about the height of inferiority complex. have you seen any Fulani recently, with their fair skin and pointed nose? can't remember anyone of them claiming American, or even arab or whatever. it's all good though. when you are given biafra you can all relocate to Israel. we will help you pack. |

Bialegend: This is not an ego bruising mission: the author remarked that certain tribes do not deserve enslavement. our view is: no one deserves enslavement; slavery is prohibited under jus cogens. This is a response to a tribal post which sought to validate the author's criminal profiling of the black race. misplaced sense of anger does nothing but lend credence to the jaundiced view the white author. 1 Like |
