Hahahaha. Igbo bitterness and chronic inferiority complex is approaching insane proportions. Yorubaland has Lagos and Ibadan as powerhouses (you all are not even ashamed to be fighting to claim a stake in other regions while Una dey pick race from igboland coz there's nothing there) , The Northerners have Kano and Abuja, SS has PH, please what do igbos have to boast over that is even worth mentioning? . You people are the lepers of Nigeria, rejected by all, and Una still no fit siddon for igboland. Smh.

And I'm asking, if Ogun state is the most industrial in Nigeria, tell us the industries Ogun is noted for and were they are sited. If you can't answer then shut up

Sorry!
I don't do kids that are foolish.

SETTING THE RECORDS STRAIGHT: The removal of history from school curriculum in Nigeria was deliberate. Here are some facts about academia in Nigeria. Don't let anyone deceive you. These facts can be verified. •The first Black Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan was an Igbo man named Professor Kenneth Dike. •The first Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos was an Igbo man named Professor Eni Njoku. •The first Nigerian Rector of the then Yaba College of Technology was also an Igbo man The first Nigerian Professor of Mathematics was an Igbo man named Professor Chike Obi – the man who solved Fermat’s Last Theorem. He was followed by another Igbo man named Professor James Ezeilo, Professor of Differential Calculus and the founder of the Ezeilo Constant. The first Nigerian professor of history was an Igbo man Professor Kenneth Dike who also became the first black vice chancellor of the University of Ibadan. The first Nigerian Professor of Microbiology was an Igbo man named Professor Eni Njoku. He went on to become the very first vice chancellor of the university of LAGOS. The first Nigerian Professor of Anatomy and Physiology is Professor Chike Edozien an Igbo man who is also the current Obi of Asaba. The first Nigerian Professor of Physics was Professor Okoye an Igbo man who became a Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA in 1960. He was followed by the likes of Professor Alexander Anumalu who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics three times for his research in Intermediate Quantum Physics. In Nuclear Physics and Chemistry – again another Igbo man – Professor Frank Ndili who gained a Ph.D in his early ’20s at Cambridge Univesity in Nuclear Physics and Chemistry in the early ’60s. This young Asaba man had made a First Class in Physics and Mathematics at the then University College Ibadan in the early ’50s. First Professor of Statistics – Professor Adichie who’s research on Non-Parametric Statistics led to new areas in statistical research. What about the first Nigerian Professor of Medicine – Professor Kodilinye – he was appointed a Professor of Medicine at the University of London in 1952. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka after the war. What about Astronomy – again another Igbo man was the first Professor of Astronomy – please, look up Professor Ntukoju – he was the first to earn a double Ph.D in Astronomy and Mathematics. Let’s go to the Social Sciences – Demography and statistical research into population studies – again another Igbo man – Professor Okonjo who set up the first Centre for Population Research in Ibadan in the early ’60s. A double Ph.D in Mathematics and Economics. Philosophy – Professor G D Okafor, who became a Professor of Philosophy at the Amherst College USA in 1953. Economics – Dr. Pius Okigbo who became a visiting scholar and Professor of Economics at the University of London in 1954. He is also the first Nigerian Ph.D in Economics. Theology and theological research – Professor Njoku who became the first Nigerian to earn a Ph.D in Theology from Queens University Belfast in Ireland. He was appointed a Professor of Theology at the University College Zambia in 1952. The Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) has a record of the state with the highest number of professors in Nigeria and as at 2014 that state is Imo State. You can go to this commission and verify. Anambra state was the first in WAEC, UNITY SCHOOLS ENTERANCE EXAMS, NECO AND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Therefore, whenever some people address you Igbos as mere traders, tell them that in addition to doing very well in business, science, technology and SPORTS, you are also ahead in academia. No amount of hatred can change blessings from God almighty. Let the hating continue while we keep doing what we know best, DEVELOPMENT! IGBO KWENU, KWENU, KWEZUENU!

If you all truly collectively want to secede, you will pack your bags and vacate other regions FIRST, like y'all did in '67. That would send a strong statement to the entire world that you mean business. As it stands it would appear that the bulk of you Biafra agitators are foreign-based like Kanu or the majority of the ones in ground are not really serious.

The problem with your folk is you are inveterate liars. What does nsibidi have to do with Eboes. You are so greedy and covetous. Nsibidi is a system belonging to and originating among people in secret societies in what is now Cross River and Cameroon. It was a SECRET only o members and not in anyway an Eboe thing. With your nature and left to you you woud rewrite history. Shameless people. At any rate it was an indigenous system which is commendable but I was a primitive system of writing in rudimentary stages of development with limited utility but it was not an Eboe phenomenon

Now read the write up you provided which is calculated to present a half-truth to the ignorant .Typical Eboe lying
There was no Nsibidi dictionary. The First Eboe dictionary was produced by Samuel Ajayi Crowther

Crowther was the first to create an all Igbo (Latin script) book, but wasn't the first to transcribe Igbo, preceded by people such as Olaudah Equiano. But moving on to nsibidi.

Nsibidi is writing that originated from Ejagham people but had already spread throughout the region before Europeans came. If you're bragging about a colonial taught Crowther, then you're going to give credit for the spread of nsibidi hundreds of years before any European taught any African any writing.

This is the nsibidi cloth, the main medium of nsibidi. It's made and designed between Ebonyi state and Abia state but used throughout the Cross River.

It's similar to uli which also has some meaning attached to the symbols, although that's mostly just a motif.


https://sm76626./2013/01/08/898/

Nsibidi may be crude or whatever, but it's the first recognised writing system in West Africa with no outside influence whatsoever.

I thought we were talking about firsts?

Sucede? Do you really want to sucede? How is the SW preventing your succession? You guys are just afraid of what might befell you again?

It's similar to uli which also has some meaning attached to the symbols, although that's mostly just a motif.



Nsibidi may be crude or whatever, but it's the first recognised writing system in West Africa with no outside influence whatsoever.

I thought we were talking about firsts?

When people are trying to lie deceive misinform or confuse they introduce a barrage of unrelated information to confound the simple minded . It is called information overload. let us take it one at a time

Nsibidi is not an Eboe Phenomenon. So why attach any Eboe meaning to it THERE IS NONE
Just like you are free to borrow English alphabets you can borrow Nsibidi
Samuel Ajayi Crowther produced the First Eboe dictionary


The word itself Nsibidi is not an Eboe word

There is another word "ABCEE" in the English dictionary today . i.e ABC which is what we are now communicating with . You have no more affinity to ABCEE than you do to Nsibidi. It is not an Eboe thing
So if I take a cloth today and write Yoruba words on it I can call it ABCEE cloth? See Eboe logic
Nsibidi does not capture a language But ideas
That is important and so I will repeat it Nsibidi does not capture a language But ideas
just like drawings or cartoons
Nsibidi was a secret system not open to the public it was very very limited in what it could be used for and not open to the general public in its place of origin .


It was not widespread in Eboeland and it was only known in Aro which was being ruled by Akamkpa kings and still is to this day. Even it Aro it was a secret society phenomenon. Finally Nsibidi is a system of symbols not words akin to hieroglyphics. One can liken it to telling stories with cartoons. Every people have some kind of symbol/s with which they can communicate ideas whether in art e.g paintings facial decoration etc. Nsibidi on the other hand was very rudimentary and because it was meant to be secret never developed in the same way as a WRITING system

You present a phoograph of a purported Nsibidi patter on a cloth . You claim it is produced in Eboeland . The question is when was it produced. Can you tell us what the message on the cloth is ? Anyone who wants to can produce Nsibidi cloth today

zuchyblink:
Yoruba and lie lie! I prefer a Biafra of Igbos only to the former Biafra. Why are ur people against confederation,fiscal federalism and resource control? Jokers!
I want SS,SE,SW,NC,NE and NW to operate as a confederation or semi-independent state lets see how far ur Lagos will go.
Boasting over Nigerian made Lagos

It's obvious to all of us on this thread that YOU prefer Biafra. And frankly, I too personally prefer Biafra for all Igbos. But it's pretty obvious that only an insignificant fraction of your fellow kinsmen share your enthusiasm. Else this agitation would've gone way past the Radio and Internet (Nairaland) noisemaking. I KNOW for a fact that the vast majority Yorubas aren't against Biafra agitation (you all won't be missed in our region when you pack and go coz there's nothing special about igbos in the SW that we can't do without). Please let that register into your Biafran brain and quit making it sound like we Yorubas are the ones preventing you all from moving back to Igboland or stalling your Biafra dream.

why are yorubas scared of Biafra(only igbos)Biafra(with others),confederation,fiscal federalism etc?

It was only known in Arochukwu, so what are these guys in Ebonyi doing?

"Ùkárá cloth is sold in markets in Ohafia, Umuahia, Abiriba, Aro, Aba and in Calabar, but all this cloth is created in Nkalagu junction village. Formerly, were three producers of Ùkárá in Nkalagu, but the others passed away, and their children abandoned this practice because it is not lucrative enough."

Why aren't there any others you can show? Because nsibidi is the first known writing system in West Africa.

Look, an Igbo name, Onuaha, in nsibidi recorded in the early 1900s. I'm laughing.



"The name of a boy called 'Onuaha' as recorded by J. K. Macgregor in 1909. Macgregor interpreted the first two symbols as corruptions of the English letters 'N' and 'A' and the last symbol a generic nsibidi. Macgregor noted the growing European influence on nsibidi."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nsibidi (Check the references)

"J.K. Macgregor's view was that "The use of nsibidi is that of ordinary writing. I have in my possession a copy of the record of a court case from a town of Enion [Enyong] taken down in it, and every detail ... is most graphically described". Nsibidi crossed ethnic lines and was a uniting factor among ethnic groups in the Cross River region."

Old man stop exposing yourself to ridicule
Why is lying and deception in your blood?
Eboe name? Why don't you tell THE WHOLE TRUTH which is that it was said and I quote
The name of a boy called 'Onuaha' as recorded by J. K. Macgregor in 1909. Macgregor interpreted the first two symbols as corruptions of the English letters 'N' and 'A' and the last symbol a generic nsibidi. Macgregor noted the growing European influence on nsibidi

This was 1909 ? So tell us in your own words what does this mean?


Nsibidi was used for DECORATIVE purposes that is well known but here we are talking about origin.
You present something from Wikipedia which states clearly it has been corrupted by Western influence. It is dated 1905 which in the context of what we are discussing is irrelevant because by that time Eboe language had already been written in Roman Alphabets and Ajayi Crowther wh gave you your first dictionary had long died

People make and sell all kinds of decorative items that does not mean they can read or understand what it means. Certainly we know that to be the case across the Muslim world where people sew Quranic verses on their clothes.
For you to suggest that wearing or making what are essentially decorative garments in a sign of literacy is nothing but lunacy
I will not join issues with you HERE on whether nsibidi is first or not you can create a thread and I will gladly educate you on that too

IT IS NOT AN EBOE SYSTEM GIVE IT UP

Because the Igbo language picked up nsibidi after Ajayi Crowther, or the idea of writing names was of European origin, not that the characters were simply corrupted which is why you can't read that Igbo name. Or maybe combining the two, Ajayi Crowther spread nsibidi with his Ibo primer?



"Nsibidi was used in judgement cases known as 'Ikpe' in some Cross River communities. Macgregor was able to retrieve and translate an nsibidi record from Enyong of an ikpe judgement."

A court case written in 'crude' nsibidi in the 19th century. I'm laughing.

Stop the waffle ,
Nsibidi is not an EBOE sytem and Eboes were illiterate till the white men came stop deceiving yourself

Archaelogists have found centuries old pottery and other items with Nsibidi in Calabar how come they never found anything like that in Eboeland

Typical delusion of grandeur. Newsflash: The only thing you all dominate at is the art of noisemaking, especially here on NL. . In spite of your delusion, SW internet penetration is far ahead of the SE's (http://thenet.ng/2014/03/lagos-ibadan-and-kano-among-most-active-african-cities-on-twitter/), so much so that Smile 4G network, a South Africa owned and Igbo-managed internet ISP chose to launch its operations in in West-Africa/Nigeria at Ibadan instead of Enugu or Onitsha -- https://www.nairaland.com/1288759/smile-launches-ibadan-new-4g (I wonder why? ). While we are busy building viable industries, educational institutions of repute, and increasing our economies of scale (in short making our region ever more competitive and robust relative to other places in Africa), you all are still migrating en-masses out of your region and would rather stick to trading in fake imports -- imagine if the govt choses to place an embargo on your imports (both land and sea) I wonder what will become of you all, considering that you all are landlocked and depend on other regional borders even in the extreme case of smuggling your goods into the country. Your seeming 'domination' the transport sector was born out of necessity as a result of your people's migrant/nomadic nature since you all migrate out of your region than any other group in the country and therefore have to transport your migrants to and from your region at all times -- which is a further testmament to the fact that there simply aren't enough opportunities in Igboland to accomodate y'all, hence the need to depend on other regions for economic survival. Na only for una mind una dey 'dominate' anything. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/rivers-state-others-have-overtaken-s-east-in-commerce-industry/

Which just shows the ever shifting theory of origin of nsibidi. Which just shows how the Cross River communities have been interacting with each other for thousands of years, bouncing ideas off of each other like how Arochukwu and some other Igbo towns took nsibidi and simplified it from its more pictographic origin on the ukara cloths, the main medium of nsibidi from Igboland to south west Cameroon. You do now there is little difference in genes between the Cross River people.

I thought you had a little sense.

So what have we established on this thread: European policies affected the way certain parts of Africa developed. Europeans could choose to educate one part of a colony and deliberately hold back another to play to their advantage. In Nigeria, the first major industry (after slavery) started off in eastern Nigeria and led to the formation and (industrial) development of wider Nigeria. Before the Europeans arrived with their education, the eastern Nigerians were already writing down their language.

Hahahaha. Igbo bitterness and chronic inferiority complex is approaching insane proportions. Yorubaland has Lagos and Ibadan as powerhouses (you all are not even ashamed to be fighting to claim a stake in other regions while Una dey pick race from igboland coz there's nothing there) , The Northerners have Kano and Abuja, SS has PH, please what do igbos have to boast over that is even worth mentioning? . You people are the lepers of Nigeria, rejected by all, and Una still no fit siddon for igboland. Smh.

The SS has Port Harcourt? Oh my God, I thought the Germans left in the 40s!
