just before oduduwa built the mud house, the igbos had gone far ahead in technology which me and u can see at the year 2009 in existence

u can easily see some of their product in the market

Sculpture from the Igbo people date back as far as 900AD and were made from leaded bronze and copper objects.

A wide variety of masks are found among the Ibo. The masks, of wood and or fabric, are used in a many rituals or celebrations. Namely: social satires, sacred rituals (for ancestors and invocation of the gods), initiation, second burials, and public festivals, which now include Christmas and Independence Day. Music. . Elaborate costumes, musical instruments, song, dance and participation from the entire village, create a unique carnival atmosphere to public festivals.

A variety of decorative wooden objects are made by the Igbo people, namely, musical instruments, doors, stools, mirror frames, trays for offering kola nuts to guests, fertility dolls, and small figures used in divination.

it is very paramount that oduduwa recognise the big influence the Benin Empire have on them

so like Nok sculpture etc, very important

a lot of africa-american are of igbo decent

oduduwa do u have any doubt?

ur love to hate the truth?

So?

The earlier people start paying to post, the more sensible Nairaland will become cos this guy is a joke.

Due to the effects of migration and the Atlantic slave trade, there are Igbo populations in countries such as Cameroon[18] and Equatorial Guinea,[19] as well as outside Africa. Their exact population outside Africa is unknown, but today many African Americans and Afro Caribbeans are of Igbo descent. In rural areas in Africa, the Igbo are mostly farmers. Their most important crop is the yam; celebrations are held annually to celebrate its harvesting.[20] Other staple crops include cassava, and taro.[21

The name Igbo was, among the Yoruba speaking people of Kwa language, a popular one. Ijoma points to the tradition which says "the indigenous people whom their cultural hero, Oduduwa, and his followers met at Ife were the Igbo

who owns lagos

the Portugese?? naww

Controversies over the ownership of Lagos have continued to rage till this day as various ethnicities in Nigeria have at one time or the other laid claims to the ownership of the city. The Edo typical version believes the city originally named “Eko” to be war camp for the Benin forces that used the city extend military attacks against the areas outside Lagos with the present Benin Republic inclusive.

The Lagos or Yoruba version has it that Eko (Lagos) was founded by Ogunfunminire, a prince who migrated in company of others from Ile-Ife. Eko to them thus means Oko (farm) in Yoruba language. This Yoruba version greatly appreciates the influence Benin had on the city but would not readily agree with the Edo version which recognizes them (Edo) as the original settlers. Instead, they would agree that the Benin influence was merely an act of conquest and enthronement of paramount rulers who were of their (Benin) extraction.

Next in line of contention are the Hausas. “Testifying before Justice Victor Famakinwa panel of inquiry on civil disturbances in Lagos the other day, the Serikin Hausas told the panel that Hausa are the owners of Lagos. Pressed further, he argued that the Hausas have been in Lagos since 1735, and that it is patently wrong to treat them as outsiders and to shed Hausa blood in Lagos” (see The Guardian Newspaper, Sunday, January 21, 2001)

The Serikin Hausawa of Agege (Alhaji Jibrila Abdullahi) further argues that “Ago-Hausa” a place around Epe, Ibeju-Lekki and Alausa belongs to the Hausas. Well by this claim, Lagos is a Hausa territory.

The conflict of interpretation on the ownership of Lagos further confronts us with the entry of the Ijaws and Urhobo, the third and fourth ethnicities to lay claim to the ownership of Lagos. In the opinions of these ethnicities, the area presently called “Ajegunle” belongs to them.

Enter the Igbo race, one of the largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. Because the Igbos are firmly and industriously established particularly in areas of Okomaiko, Alaba, International and Ajamgbadi, the Igboman will tell you that Lagos is a no man’s land. After all, a place called Oyingbo in Lagos is an Igbo expression for “Igbo person”. This area belongs the Igbos and clearly shows that the Igbos have been living in Lagos earlier than Historians can remember. This very expression is what the typical Lagosian of Issale-Eko hates to hear. Watch it or you spark off another round of civil disturbances because the city unmistakably belongs to them.

All of these claims whether true or false help to vindicate that contemporary “Lagos is perhaps the only Nigerian city that effectively belongs to everyone else. This is true to the extent that the city of Lagos is about the history of everybody else; there is something about each one of us that is intertwined with the destiny of the city” (Reuben Abati on “Who owns Lagos?)
