A brief description of the EBOES (Igbos) by an European(Adolphe Burdo) in the 1800s "...it was here that I first saw copper-coloured negroes who are found everywhere in Ebo; they are fine men, well-grown and carry their heads proudly; they nearly all have blue eyes. They talk a great deal, and speak loud and fast. When they are negotiating any business one would imagine them to be quarreling and that there is going to be a fight. They are a dangerous race, ferocious, and easily carried away to the most violent extremes..." - Niger and the Benue: Travels in Central Africa by Adolphe Burdo published in 1880 page 126. *Ebo- A corruption of the original word IGBO 3 Likes |
