Vessi:Ah ah Most Yoruba posters in the daily Igbo vs Yoruba clashes on NL don't make sense and I only side with common sense,they are also very uncouth and loud mouthed, furthermore I like fairness, Igbo are a majority tribe they ought to be treated as such, and I don't like the way some Yoruba are calling for their massacre despite knowing fully well that another civil war will mean doom and instability to the whole sub region . Last but not the least Igbos are Bantu Cameroonian im my brother's keeper . Yoruba are the problem of Nigeria 1 Like |

lepasharon:i am not sure about efik and annang. i have never met any. but if i see them and study their phenotype I will be able to decisively tell you if they branched out of igbo. now if they happen to geographically be in that igbo region then chances are very high that they branched out of igbo and formed their own thing this happens alot. apparently itsekiri branched out of yoruba |

mansakhalifa:i have provided historical text from biafran historians and cameroon historians and european historians that say you are camerroonian bantus who migrated to the region. the name biafra is not an original name that you created. that name has existed long before ojukwu was born. the name has cameroonian origins. point being your love affair with the name biafra is borne out of the fact you think it is an original name created by igbos and your love affair with the biafran agitation is borne out of the ignorance of not knowing you are migrants to hat area. point being there is nothing original or legal about this agitation or the name of the agitation 1 Like |

mansakhalifa:well its good to know you are enlightened. many igbos seem to think this is an igbo name created by igbos. they love the sound of that name biafra because they think igbos created it lol. they dont know its cameroonian in origin. but good to see that at least you know the name was derived from another place and acknowledging the name is not igbo in origin 2 Likes |

...igbo didn't investigated before embark on biafra project! igbo have no legal backing to agitating for biafra in Nigeria! It's like black America agitating for Africa country in US soil, or some one agitating for Dahomey, or Upper Volta or God coast in Nigeria, it can't be possible! Igbo wants Nigeria dead, if Nigeria die they didn't have legal right to share in the heritage! they were immigrant in Nigeria like Negro in America! Nigeria heritage concern the Empires of Nigeria Benin Empire, Oyo Empire, Bornu Empire etc! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Lol Morons. Nigeria is a British created entity. Igbos had already settled on this VACANT land before the British arrived West Africa . Hence it is ours. We might be closer genetically to Cameroonians, but that doesn't make SE Nigeria any less of our possession. 2 Likes |

oladeebo: Use your head. Why would the ancient Navigators call the Sea by the area "The Bight Of Biafra" if Biafra was thst Inland? They called the Sea After the Kingdom Of Biafra thst used to cover the area now called SE/SS as well the Southern Cameroons. In map below, Biafra in green colour stretches from the Southern Cameroon through the SE/SS and stops at the Bini Empire

kingzizzy:I don't love those who refuse to understand in debate! I want you to proof me wrong and people were here to judge! ok be patient! There is Biafra dead country, created by the Portuguese, and that is only biafra state exit world wide before it died, no biafra elsewhere! and it's territory covered the Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial guinea! So am argue with you why dead biafra resuscitated in Nigeria territory? why anybody can't come to Nigeria and agitating for Dahomey? 1 Like |

ApexPredator:I totally disagree with you! before the arrival of British, there was Portuguese explorer or to say slave traders, who patronage the bight of Benin, the bight of biafra! those bight isname by them, Portuguese is the owner of biafra name, when the slave trade boom they crated a country name it biafra! and that's where the bight of biafra come from and this have nothing to do with biafra created by ojukwu! so if biafra is right reserved ojukwu will not use the name or he be forced to pay for it! So igbo migrated from the area into Nigeria! As the immigrant didn't have the right for self determination, igbo lack legal right to agitate for the land in Nigeria for secession, they can go to Cameroon , Gabon or Equatorial guinea where they have right! 3 Likes 1 Share |

oladeebo: You dont have to worry about that. What you have to think about is that you would not be a Nigerian today if it wasnt for Britain. They created what you today call your country and they named you 'Nigerian' If that same country that created you could allow one its areas, Nothern Ireland, a referendum to go or stay in 1973 If they could allow another of its areas, Scotland, a referendum in 2014 to go or stay Then why cant you understand Nigeria giving any area, the right of referendum to go or stay? You think Nigeria that is just 103 years old is more united and smarter than UK that is over 300 years old and a super power? So what is your arguement about? "Britain made us Nigerians and we must all die together as Nigerians"? This is the mentality of an African who lives inside a cave |

sukkot:You lie my friend, Igbo didn't migrate from Cameroon, kamerun a place in Adamawa is still called Kamerun Kamerun and the yola south people believe their forefathers migrated from cameroon. Igbos migrated from Isreal, jews and Igbo has undeniably similar features |

oladeebo: I really detest debating with extremely stupid people, but i'll bear it for now. Igbos settled in a vacant land in what is now SE Nigeria before any European colonist landed on Africa. Nigeria is not a country in the same sense as Japan, Russia, England etc The British just gathered people of various ethnic groups together and called them Nigerians centuries after Igbos had settled here. |

The enormous population of the Igbos in the area that they occupy now in Nigeria suggests that they originate in this area of Nigeria. Migration often proceeds overpoulation especially in the timescales relevant to this discussion. The reason for Africa being proposed as the origin for mankind is predicated not just on the age of skeletal finds but the large variance in genetic population. It is likely, therefore, any Igbo-like presence in the region now Cameroon, is the result of some Igbos migrating to Cameroon from Nigeria and not the reverse. By all accounts Cameroon is a fertile place, therefore it is unlikely that the size of the Igbos in present Nigeria is the result of more favourable conditions. Igbos are Nigerian or the people of the area where they are now, perhaps they had a different name then. Another area to investigate is language. What language do those people in Cameroon said to resemble Igbos speak. ...incidentally, old research suggests that Bantus spread from present day Nigeria location all the way to South Africa. Perhaps this suggests why some ethnic groups in South Africa have names that sound remarkably Igbo (just me). 1 Like |

Sukkot I know you want the Igbos to know their origin and maybe by so doing they might calm down. The truth of the matter is you just added salt and pepper to the whole thing. You might as well trigger an online war. You are a Yoruba man and history like this coming from you mean just one thing, hate. The country has a whole is not helping matter. We are not fair to ourselves. It looks like we are forcing ourselves to live together. You Sukkot has some unconscious hatred for the Igbos from your comment so far. I want you to understand one thing. This people will not stop until they got what they want. They are not speaking one voice yet and the whole country is going gaga. Your post will only unite them the more so be very careful. The North did a major damage with their utterances and you a Yoruba man is about to do another damage. Sukkot don't add to the hate that is already brewing. I expect you to channel your post and thread to peaceful coexistence but I'm so surprised it's full of hate for your fellow brother who is fight for what he believes. I believe in one Nigeria. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. |
