Igbo: We give no quarters, we seek none, we take no prisoners The territory which the expedition now entered is called Esuama-Ebo, a district of large extent. The religion of the natives is almost pure idolatry; but some slight traces of Judaism may be discovered in it - a circumstance which seems to indicate that some stray wanderers of the Hebrew race must long ago have found their way to these regions, and in the gradual course of time become assimilated to the natives both in appearance and customs, leavening the races around them, however, with a few of their own ideas. Thus the people of Ebo believe in a God, Orissa or Tshuku, who is supreme and omnipotent; as well as in an evil spirit corresponding to Satan, whom they name Kamallo, or Igwik-Ala. When it is explained that Igivik means "one who has fallen from a place of honour," and that Ala denotes "earth," the parallel between Igwik-Ala and the fallen angel of the Scriptures may be readily recognized. As the Jews had their sacred city Jerusalem, so the people of Ebo have their holy city Aro, to which they make many pilgrimages, as the followers of the Prophet do to Mecca. Quitting Ebo, M. Burdo faced north-east, and presently reached N'Teja, which he found in a state of great excitement consequent on the king having declared war with his neighbours the Ogidis. King Ogene received the white man favourably enough, but absolutely forbade him to advance further into his territories. He promised, however, to show M. Burdo another route by which the Niger might be reached. The apparent reason for this course of action on the king's part was that he feared that the white man's presence among his enemies, the Ogidis, might bring with it the favour of the Great Spirit. After witnessing a curious religious rite, by which King Ogene sought to propitiate the god Tshuku in favour of his arms, M. Burdo departed in a northerly direction towards Imam. [b]The natives of Ebo are a fierce and war-loving people. Giving no quarter and seeking none, they make neither slaves nor prisoners, but put all captives to death without mercy. They carry out the stern old code, "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," to the letter. [/b]If a man murders another, the victim's relatives pursue the murderer to the death; and if the assassin finally escapes, some one of his relatives suffers death in his stead, and thus justice is appeased.

Dreambeat: Yes, just the way all the rubbish you are posting show Biases towards the Igbo.. Quoting statements from white people in colonial africa and documents from a dark period in African historyonly shows how much low self esteem you and your tribe are suffering. You have real problems bro. OTHERWISE, I could quote several books and statements from the same white people that describe ibos as the worst set of humans ever. Shiooor. 24 Likes 1 Share |

Afriifa: We can now see whose reasoning is shallow. Igbo students have consistently gotten admitted into all 8 Ivy League schools year after year over and above every other African race and you are coming at me with such pedantry postulation as above? A study carried out in the UK (see attached pics) established that Igbo students outperform other African nationalities, outperform the Whites and outperform the Chinese. What evidence have you got?

Inferiority complex COLONIAL MASTER. ?? Master indeed? Why do you need validation from your MASTER. So you need MASTER to tell you about yourself? What an enslaved mind MASTER said so it must be so. Well the rest of us do not accept that even your MASTER is superior, they just happened to be on top at that point in time . We can think and former ideas without help from MASTER Rather than permit a white man to Cone and classify black people into categories I would ask him who he thinks he is and what gives him standing to do so. There is one fact Eboes cannot deny at the time of their colonisation they existed in a PRIMITIVE state .They had NOT MASTERED POLITICAL ORGANISATION MORE COMPLEX THAN VILLAGE OR CLAN LEVEL AND STILL PRACTISED WIDESPREAD CANNIBALISM Now I do not believe in the inferiority of men and so I can only attribute this to a lack of exposure having been cut off for centuries by the forest. It is only a mind that is deeply troubled by FEELINGS of inferiority that tries to get relief by asserting superiority. Be assured Nigerians know the Eboes very well having lived with them for so long.We understand why they are so boastful an d often we pity them 18 Likes 1 Share |

Afriifa: You cannot use personal achievement as a yardstick here. We are talking about tribes prosperity. BTW, to say that you are not my class is a statement of fact. I am far far and far ahead of you and there's nothing you can do about it than to wail. If you doubt me, let's meet in any part of the world then with your eyes, you'll see the reality so that next time you'll know how to talk. 5 Likes |
