NobleG1:
Ndigbo is probably the biggest and most vast nation on earth.

I was shocked but not surprised to know there is a large indegenious Igbo community in Surinam, a South American country. Their Igbo language and accent is a bit different but understandable to a typical Igbo person.

TheReborn:


Presented with evidence, you talk about the white man making postulations. The same white man said Ejagham slaves made the markings. I thought you said no Ejagham slaves were taken from the Bight of Biafra.

And we don't care if you modernize Insibidi for the Igbos. We own the ideogram. The fact that we speak English does not make us better than the English. So please modernize Insibidi, the creation of the Ejagham for the Ibo. We don't mind at all.

This just makes us SS more wary of you guys. Next, you will start claiming the oil. Na wa.

Phut:


Okay, run away with your tail between your legs. Typical!

Post the original article you have been singing about all through this thread and not that contradictory BS you posted

sukkot:
listen you igbos are not as brave as you like to portray. the articles describes you guys as
1-mentally unstable
2-suicidal
3-tractable ( docile )

i see no positives in either of these traits. they all portray weakness. if you are stupid enough to kill yourself why not go on a killing spree and kill all the slave masters before you kill yourself ?

bigfrancis21:


Lol. Your hatred will consume you.

sukkot:
listen whatever i post will be contradictory. there was a 250 year slave period and millions of igbo slaves. not all of them will react the same way. so any articles will be contradictory. you will have the docile igbo slaves and the not so docile igbo slaves. you dont expect millions of people to react the same way do you ? so why are you expecting me to produce an article that says ALL IGBOS WERE DOCILE ? what i simply did is provide from two well known slave historians of the era who said the ibo slaves were docile. and in doing that i achieved my goal of refuting your lies that all igbo slaves were brave and rebellious

OneNaira6:


From that same book. The same place where you got that quote said and I quote, also posted above for verification.

"Igbo men were depised and the igbo women loved. Though igbo men sales was about the same rate as the women until it dropped due to preference for the women".

Also on that exact book, it equally stated and I wuote, also posted for reference, "igbo were not "refuse" slaves actually preferred because of the independent stance of the igbo women".

Nigga maybe next time actually read the entire portion of the book before jumping to it.

There are several books justifying that igbo women were docile and actually wanted by the slave master. Likewise, the same for other rebellious slave group women. Name one slave rebellion that started by women? We are talking about the men or did you forget what the convo was about aka SLAVE REBELS.

Even from your own post book it actually stated igbo men were depised. Try harder. We are still waiting.

Btw: avoiding to post the link or name where you get your exempts ain't going to stop us from researching what you provided. we all saw what you tried to do there. Thank God for Google books

Please provide the link that claims Igbos were tractable. I don't remember you quoting any link, only some 'quoted text' which could have been made up by anybody.

tpiadotcom:
Well, I don't know, but obviously, you do

If you mistakenly enslave a babalawo who wants to be enslaved, na identured servant be that.

sukkot:
dude ? ok

ok here is an excerpt from one of the articles



But female Igbo were valued as more emotionally stable than the men, and
hard workers. If we look closer at marketing patterns and other data, we see a
strikingly different image of the Igbo in various regions of the Americas. In
some places, they were especially prized. Colin Palmer’s study of the British
asiento slave trade to the Spanish Colonies (17?-1739) (ADD correct dates)
makes it clear that Spanish purchasers bought only prime Africans for whom
they paid the highest prices. Palmer wrote:,
“The Ibo . . .were considered [size=14pt]tractable[/size] and hence were highly sought
after by some of the slaveholders in the Americas.”ii
Moreau de St-Mery wrote that while some St. Domingue planters
hesitated to buy Igbo slaves because of their suicidal tendencies, others
preferred them because they were very attached to each other


OK LETS GOOGLE THE WORD ' TRACTABLE '



tractable
[trak-tuh-buh l]
Spell Syllables
Synonyms Examples Word Origin
adjective
1.
easily managed or controlled; docile; yielding:
a tractable child; a tractable disposition.
2.
easily worked, shaped, or otherwise handled; malleable.

NOW FROM THAT EXCERPT YOU CAN GET THE REST STORY

Ihuomadinihu:

I knew you were only referring to igbo women. Women irrespective of culture or ancestry are easily dominated and manageable. This trait is not exclusive to a particular set of women.

sukkot:
nah it says the ibo ( both men and women ). read carefully and objectively

Ihuomadinihu:

It never said ''all'' Igbos were tractable. There is a clear difference between some people prefered igbos and some peoole despiced igbos. We have enough articles about Igbo slaves and 80percent of them made references to how stubborn they were,bringing up one random article about a group of Igbos will not displace what other people have written about them.

bigfrancis21:


I see that you are quite interested in learning about Igbo culture. I would want to believe that there are many others like you out there equally interested in the Igbo culture as well. This is a wake up call to Igbo people to reach out to its afro-descended peoples out there in the carribean and latin america.

listen, the men who wrote those articles are not random men. they were the movers and shakers of the slavery world. they are both on wikipedia and one of them has a best-seller book on slavery. wait for the links. so i am sure they know more than eeryone. anyone who writes books during slavery period was aristocratic blue blood

Ihuomadinihu:

One article by Colin Palmer does not rubbish the other articles written about Igbos. Am experting other links from you.
I hope you know that there are different meanings of tractable??

bigfrancis21:


Dude, I asked you for the link to the so-called excerpt you've been posting over and over on this thread. I want to see the website you pulled your excerpt from.

sukkot:
i know, you are still in denial. it will sink in later

Ihuomadinihu:

Lol,denial about what? Lol,you are the one denial that igbo slaves were mostly rebellious and unmangable .
Tractable could mean different things in different contexts.

sukkot:
listen, three words qualify igbo slaves

1-mentally unstable
2-suicidal
3-docile

off course a mentally unstable person is not managable. but this had nothing to do with bravery. the ones who were mentally stable were docile. i have provided articles from two well known authors of the slavery period. you can believe them or you can sit in denial

Ihuomadinihu:

You are only trying to posit that Igbo slaves were mentally unstable. Does this assumption make sense to a reasonable person? Even the European colonialist have never used mentally unstability and Igbos in the same sentence. Nor have i seen anybody juxtapose igbo and tractable in the same breath. I thought you were intersted in arguing about igbo ancestry in the America but you more concerned in making a mockery of an entire ethnic group.

sukkot:
let me tell you what happened to the REAL rebellious slaves, which are the yorubas, which is why there were many igbo slaves in america but not enough yorubas. the real rebellious slaves, of which 90 percent of them were yorubas never made it to america. they either all jumped off the boat and swam back to their countries or drowned. or they mutinied and attacked the ship owners and killed them and drove the ship back to africa. thats real bravery. not like the ndigbos who allow themselves to be taken on a 3 month voyage in the belly of a ship, and then get mentally unstable when they get to america and start killing themselves. its too late when you get to america. you shoulda been killed yourself like the yorubas did on the slave ships. not after you get to destination. BRAVE SONS OF ODUDUWA

Ihuomadinihu:

This is the most ridiculous stuff i have read. Why are you stealing igbo slave history? Which slave dealer documented this trash. Lol.

quimicababes:


I am from the Caribbean ,Trinidadian to be precise.Caribbean folks do not speak Igbo nor do we study African history generally in terms of the different ethnic groups and their respective history.Most Caribbean folks don't care about that as our culture is too mixed up with African,Indian,Chinese and European influences.For those of us who care about knowing more about African culture beyond what was preserved the bridge is usually Yoruba culture...like in Trinidad we have quite a number of Orisha devotees that our laws even have an Orisa Marriage Act.

I have met more Igbo Nigerians in my country than Yoruba Nigerian however.Also for the English speaking Caribbean,the University of the West Indies (UWI),Trinidad campus teaches the Yoruba language not Igbo again because there is more interest in Yoruba culture and ties to it.

sukkot:
Yall ndigbo cowards shoulda been killed yourself on the slave ships or tried to escape, like the sons of oduduwa did. there is a reason why almost all the slaves in america are ndigbo. cuz you was easily subdued on them slave ships.
