Pls our very foolish afonja brother, do you even care to read what's on the links you are sharing?? pls do

Fifthcolumnist:


Yes, you're stupid. They knew nothing or too little about the present Igbo tribe hence their exclusion in the map. You can't write about what you're not sure of.

melodyogonna:

QueenOfNepal:
Sukkot just had his head died in the mud with such an objective analysis. He ended up clutching straws like a baby.

I love facts than emotions.



Those ibo guys that replied you really made Nairaland look like Quora for one second

Ecyclopedia 1910: The portugese created a country within cameroon and continious southward to Equatoral guinea and gabon.
They called it Biafra after matra town in portugal.No part of Biafra is located within Nigeria' current territory.

@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.

sukkot:
here is a 1700 map showing you biafra is a place in cameroon. they called it BIAFARA

QueenOfNepal:
A 1700 map with the name Nigeria there Seriously you sound either dumb or you are just trolling but it looks childish

hornyofife:
Actually, both the yorubas and the hausas territories had been conquered as at 1800, the igbos were yet to be taken over hence, they were not yet included in the map. The igbo territories were the last to be subdued of all Britain colonial territory of Nigeria. Part of why they dislike the igbos because the igbos were stubborn and hard to crack..It took Britain 40yrs to subdue the igboland totally

sukkot:
ok how about this map. observe the evolving of the dialect of the people as they moved from cameroon to nigeria. in cameroon they had a city state called BIASAR. and a few decades or centuries later they pop up in south east nigeria and evolved the dialect to biafra. you trace a people through their dialect because even thoughh it evolves, you still see traces of the former in the present. BIAfra and BIAsar

QueenOfNepal:
Get out from my mention with your useless maps. It's too early to start scolding kids

sukkot:
lmao just accept the facts. you are originally bantu from cameroon. even the history of cameroon people confirm that they are bantu who moved to south-east nigeria. the cameroonian wrote it as part of the history of cameroon. are they lying ? lol

QueenOfNepal:
What is wrong with your blockhead, I'm not Igbo but i hate history revisionist. Go and play with your types because you are a disgrace to your fellow kids

sukkot:
this 1710 map shows the name biafra was gotten from cameroon. the initial original biafra was in cameroon

melodyogonna:
Did you even bother to read what you are sharing?? i mean the links

sukkot:
this is a 1700 map showing you biafra, they called it BIASAR was actually a place in cameroon

melodyogonna:
so they don't know spellings again ba?? they called it biasar and you are the one correcting them, they had intended to biafra right?? onye nka sef

sukkot:
its called language evolving. look at the ancient map of nigeria, hausa is spelled HAUSSA . words spellings change with time. cameroon was spelled kameroun

melodyogonna:
I don't understand your argument, what point are you trying to prove?? how did you divert from your bantu diggings to digging acient maps drawn by portuguese cartographers??

sukkot:
this is the bottomline, a group of people called the bantus in ancient times setlled in the cameroon region. with time they travelled to the south east of nigeria. they couldnt go further west because there were established empires like the benin and yoruba. so the point is, the reason why igbo has no long history in nigeria, which all historians allude to, is because you are the last mass migration into nigeria from cameroon. point being if today you are the 3rd largest tribe in the country there should be documented history of your existence in nigeria but there is none, which alludes to what that map is alluding to by not having igbo on the map. when exactly did you all come in mass ? i dont know exact dates but i will suspect its within the last 400 years. you people migrate very quickly. its like how in lagos in the sixties you will hardly see an igbo man. but in 2017 there are like 4 million or more igbos in lagos. so in just 40 years 4 million igbos appeared all of a sudden in lagos. so within the past 300 years i can see how 50 million igbos just appeared in that region from nowhere. now if that ancient map was drawn today they would include igbo because you are 40 million or so. but when that ancient map was drawn you were so few that it didnt matter to include you. maybe it was like 10,000 of you. then the mass migration of the rest happened within the past 300 years. thats the point

melodyogonna:
Why don't you come and chase us back to ccameroon?? since you have known the false truth

sukkot:
thats not the intention. you are nigerian now. however please stop dragging this biafra is our land issue like you own the land. you dont. you are migrants.

Odingo1:

Does it matter where they migrated from ,the present inhabitant of America and Australia migrated from Europe.
Hausa,Yoruba,Igbo all migrated into Nigeria from somewhere,everyone is a migrant but when they settle in place in large number they become the owners of the empty land they met and occupy .

melodyogonna:
my friend sharap, who is nigerian?? and who is dragging biafra into your land?? it's like you woke up from the wrong side of the bed

princdebola201:
Make them carry their Biafra go their papa land in cameroun
