Bridget95:If you study the cameroonians and igbo, they have similar culture and they look the same. historians have always asked, how come hausa and yoruba have a long traceable history in nigeria but igbo has absolutely no history whatsoever in nigeria. this question has left many historians puzzled. well thats because your history is in cameoroon and not nigeria. when you decided to adopt the name igbo i believe is like 300 years ago during the slave trade / colonization era. it is a bastardization of HEBREW. white man said the bantus are the biblical hebrews so he couldnt pronounce hebrew and it went from eebrew to eebo to igbo. 10 Likes |

kutchs:first of all, your article is wrong because the name igbo is not that old. and i believe it is one igbo man who put that wikipedia article up. there was no such thing as IGBO 10,000 years ago. in fact there was no such thing as hausa or yoruba 10,000 years ago. so whomever wrote that article was a masturbating igbo man trying to re-write history. if you look at migratory patterns and the names of the people, they change over periods of like 300 to 400 years. there was no igbo language spoken 10,000 years ago so that article is trash. no such thing as eze nri 10,000 years ago. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

sukkot:If this was an academic paper sent to me to assess, I would say it isn't publishable. You just disgraced yourself with this link you posted. The link doesn't in anyway support you claim that the Nri and Igbo-Ukwu artefacts belong to your ancient tribe Nok. Nok is a village in Jaba LG of present day Kaduna State several hundred of miles away from Anambra State where the Nri and Igbo-Ukwu culture flourished. How can you reconcile these. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

kutchs:what i am saying is that there is no such thing as nri or igbo ukwu during the period of those artifacts. whomever put that wikipedia page up is a mastu-rbator as they say. the name igbo did not even exist 500 years ago talk less of when those artifacts were made. look at that map ? even 200 years ago hausa was spelt different. so my point is those artifacts may have belonged to the ancient NOK tribe because theyy were known for making artifacts all over nigeria in ancient times and they traded the artifacts all over what we call nigeria today. there was no such thing as igbo ukwu 500 years ago. you were speaking a different dialect. a bantu dialect. the igbo language is an evolved language 4 Likes |

simplycarro: I like that picture. It shows the earliest neanderthals. Those who hide under the caves and started growing hair during the last cataclysm. They were smart scientists, they drew the pictures we see on the walls of caves to warn us of impending dangers of every 3,200 years of human evolution. We escaped the last one 2012. So humans are totally free from the cycle of failures. You can mock yourself for all I know. It is your own ignorance that has made you a slave to hatred. Good luck 14 Likes 3 Shares |

@sukkot take a look at this excerpt from this book Growth Of African Civilisation: A History Of West Africa 1000-1800 AD by Basil Davidson(I will quote pages 219&220): (P.219) All these city-states of the Delta...grew prosperous on the Atlantic trade in slaves...another reason for their prosperity lay in the abundance of population that seems to have been present in the lands behind the Delta. This density of the population helped to feed the trade in captives (next page,still on the same subject P.220) Where did these slaves really come from? An English captain who wrote about Bonny,for long the biggest of the Delta states,described it as 'the wholesale market for slaves,since no fewer than 20,000 are sold here every year. Of these 16,000 come from one nation,called the Ibos(this part was gotten from Captain John Adams book that was written between 1786 and 1800). So,what does this tell you,sir? Honest opinion. 4 Likes |
