u keep rantin as if biafra was in d same league as d oyo empire,benin kingdom etc.
Why should they
When Biafra was established around 2500BC your progenitor was running around naked in the celestial realms. Even Nri which came 1500years after the fall of the Biafran empire was still senior to Oyo and Bini by 200 years.
So you see its not possible to compare civilizations with an almost 2000year difference smiley

Only a vast Igbo Empire which had vast wealth could have yielded the artworks recovered from Igbo Ukwu. These artworks are today housed at British Museum in London. I hereby call on the Government of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of Britain to immediately return the Igbo Ukwu artifacts back to Nigeria.

As stated earlier Igbo Kings ruled Yoruba land from the capital ife Ife. The Igbo Kings had the title Ogene. The first Ogene was installed about 600AD while the 98th Ogene was ruling at Ife about 1100AD.

Igbo Army stationed at Ife helped to sustain Igbo rule in Yoruba land. The Igbo army ruthlessly put down any uprising or challenge to Igbo
rule. This Igbo Army was made up of battle tested warriors.
Their battle field tactics, their doggedness and their hard fighting spirit is still remembered in legends up till today.
Moremi is Yoruba girl of outstanding and exceptional beauty. Her shape, the look of her eyes and the way she shook her hips while walking were all seductively and salaciously tantalizing. It is to the credit of Moremi that her exceptional beauty is still remembered today hundreds of years after her death.
A thing of beauty is a thing of joy forever.
As was the custom, once an exceptionally beautiful woman was identified, Igbo soldiers would take the beauty to the Ogene - the Igbo King. Moremi was taken by Igbo soldiers to the 98th Ogene of Ife the Igbo King to be one of his wives
About 1100AD, the Igbo King in Benin otherwise called Ogiso identified Oduduwa - an Edo man as a trouble maker and expelled him from Benin. Flushed out of Benin, Oduduwa headed to Ife gathering supporters as he moved. Arriving Ife, Oduduwa's group attacked the Igbo Kingdom in Ife headed by the 98th Ogene - the Igbo king.
The initial attack by Oduduwa's group was repelled by the Igbo Army. As fighting continued, many Yoruba in Ife joined Oduduwa's group. Even Moremi the wife of the Igbo King - the 98th Ogene defected and joined the Oduduwa led rebellion against the Igbo Kingdom in Ife.
Eventually the Igbo was defeated in Ife and Oduduwa became the ruler of Ife. Oduduwa's rule in Ife lasted less than ten years. The Yoruba were not ready to be ruled by an Edo man - Oduduwa. With the support of theY oruba - the Ooni a full blooded Yoruba man who is not a child of Oduduwa carried out a coup that outsted Oduduwa from power.· Ooni is a Yoruba expression which means "it is not your own". After the Ooni's coup, the people in Ife agreed that since the rightful owners of the throne namely the Ogene and Oduduwa both

traveled to unknown place, the Ooni should in the interim be ruling in Ife. The people in Ife' however warned the Ooni to always remember that Ooni -it is not your own" ..
With Oduduwa's Military Victory in Ife, Oduduwa's forces headed by Oranmiyan attacked Benin. After some fighting, the Igbo King in Benin otherwise called Ogiso (Sky) King was overthrown. Oranmiyan became the ruler of Benin. The Edo people were not ready to be ruled by a Yoruba man. Eweka with the support of Edo people carried out a coup which ousted Oranmiyan from power in Benin. Oranmiyan was lucky to escape alive from Benin. Eweka following his successful coup against Oranmiyan became Oba of Benin starting a new dynasty that exists till date.
Over time Igbo lost control of Congo, Uganda, Gabon, Central African Republic, Cameroon and other places and Igbo political control became restricted to Igbo land.
The collapse of the Igbo Empire created problems for Igbos. The sociopolitical environment became hostile to Igbo interests. While many Igbo choose to remain in the far flung areas of the empire, others choose to return to Igbo land. Egu and Nkalu lead a group of Igbo returnees from Congo who settled around Afikpo in Ebonyi State about 1180AD. From the Ife-Benin axis the Onitsha returnees settled in present day Onitsha town on land belonging to Obosi about 1200AD. This event led to frequent clashes and. disputes over land between Onitsha and Obosi, resulting in the "Adi amama Onitsha gwara Obosi" proverb Saga.

You didn't understand that proverb.. The presence of kings in western Igbo land, Onitsha, Arochukwu,Nri should tell you otherwise.
What that means is that everyone is a lord to himself and his wife and children.and even though kings maybe present, they'd not dictate to you how you run your life.
As for the ancient Biafran empire, it was ruled by the first men or the ancients, whom were known in their native tongue as Ndi Gboo(the ancient ones).majority of present day Igbos descended from those ancients with the remainder coming from outside.

Hmnn...interesting. It is said that Onitsha came from Benin kingdom, etc. Even Nri is said to owe its ancestry to Igala people. Yet, you come here claiming different things. As far as I am concerned, it is other tribes that gave you your kings, so show them some respect, pls! cheesy

That's from an Nri website on their history..
You can go to the Ata's palace at Idà to confirm it kos as a researcher, I've gone there and they corroborated the Nri account. This is one of the reasons why people from the omaabala and nsuka cultural areas of Igbo land say ,"Egbuchagodu Igbo niile,Igbo ka foro n'Igala" (even if you kill all Igbos, there's still a remnant[Igbo] in igala).
