kayfra:You are a virtual nobody trying to arrest the attention of seriously-minded people. I blame those retorting to your palm-wine joint narrative. The Igbos are like no other people so stop wasting your energy trying to compartmentalize them....It is condemned to be an exercise in futility. 2 Likes |

kayfra:Which silly historians and anthropologists are you talking about? So we should accept subjective analyses and slanted viewpoints as bases for establishing fact? BTW, Where did Achebe tell you that Igbos were conquered by the Igalas or that the Igbos were under Igala domination? I think it is time you busy yourself with profitable ventures than indulge in this jejune and thankless activity.... |

Kayfra, you should be more concerned about the dahomey women that decimated your great grandparents from cotonou to abeaokuta, where your ancient people ran and hid under a certain olumo rock. In the northern part of the south west slaveland, fulani militia from futa jalon through sokoto to ilorin butchered every of ancient at sight, from ilorin to ogbomosho and then to oyo, which made your great grandfathers to run to a concentration camp later renamed ibadan and protected by the white men. Thank the whiteman, every town in SW to lagos by now would have been ruled by fulani emir, like ilorin 4 Likes |

thatigboman: We know that history. Abeokuta defeated King Gezo and his sons all the time they attempted Abeokuta. But my Yoruba brothers in Ketu had it bad in the hands of Gezo and his Amazon warriors. We know and acknowledge our history. Aren't ashamed of it either. Oyo overplayed their hands with Dahomey after enslaving them for centuries but they eventually fought back. Even Dahomey was formed by Migrant Yorubas and another tribe in present day Ghana to create Fon. So those are Amazon warriors are half Yorubas. 2 Likes |

You can only discuss what is important, the Igbos are so important that they are being discussed in almost every post on Nairaland. Which other tribe is being made reference to as Igbos. Almost all post here will be linked to the Igbos whether good or bad. They're simply too much, their great potentials is one of the reasons why you people decided not to allow them move on their own pace. If not, the Igboland would have been just like Japan today. Envy, hatred and Jelosy for the Igbos are so glaring. 5 Likes |

kayfra: Where were the Igala when Sokoto Caliphate came calling? There is no iota of trace of Igala's upper hand in Igbo land talk less colonization. This could not be said about the so-called Igala that every leadership household is converted Muslim. The power of Sokoto Caliphate was marked on every nook and cranny of Igala land. Yet Ndigbo forced Sokoto Caliphate to look elsewhere but Igbo land. 4 Likes |

coolitempa: All these imaginary powers did not conquer or leave significant sign that Igbo people were conquered at ease. Even the might British overstepped all ethnic nationalities in what is known today as Nigeria except Ndigbo. British had to settle on treaty with Igbo people as lately as 1913. Yet by 1904, every ethnic nationality in today's Nigeria has been subdued by the imperialistic power of Britain. Ndigbo stood and never wavered against Britain. Talk is really cheap. 4 Likes |

What was "Northern Igbo states" in 1450? I know Nairaland makes people irrational, but what in the name of whatever you worship was "Northern Igbo states" during the timeline stated in this piece? When did we even have the concept of states in Nigeria? If at all what was written in the research happened (Africans cannot even tell their fathers 4 generations ago let alone over 600 years ago), Igbos, or Eboes, or Ibos were residing in groups or hamlets and such groups could be attacked by anybody. Now those groups could have been in Nsukka or wherever. Op, if the essence of this post was to gather likes and to help you fight the Igbos online, then I understand. No problem with that. However, if you want a healthy discussion, then you should know that this whole thing written up there, if ever correct, refers to wars and skirmishes between hamlets and small village fights where maybe the Igala won. Just like there were no United Yoruba in those years, there were no United Igbos also. People existed in family groups and hamlets. Before you conquer a people in those days you needed severe numerical advantage. Pray tell, how many are the Igalas today? They don't even have a state to themselves. 1 Like |

kayfra: Yeye boy I knew you will definitely shoot yourself in the leg at some point. You admitted that only Arochukwu's resisted the British,and conveniently forgot the well researched Ekumeku movement from Western Igbo area which Asaba represents. In your infantile unbalanced logic, Arochukwu and Ekumeku 15 years war with Britain can not be described as Igbo war ,but the Igala skirmishes with few northern Igbo clans can rightly be termed the conquest and enslavement of entire Igbo land by the Igalas. Even the Igalas in this forum watching your show of shame will be wondering the source of your own "sniff", b'cos the thing is really strong. 1 Like |

kayfra: You can be forgiven dude because Nigerians are known for silliness. If the Igala were crushed by the marauding Fulani and Igbo land was waste land as you would want us to believe, the Igala would have pushed into Igbo land for cover. Yet Fulani were forced to beat hasty retreat by invisible Akagbe warriors. Igbo land remained no-go-area to any goon including the British. The mighty British specialized the act of writing treaty in Igbo land. |

gwafaeziokwu: The Brits unfortunately did not meet emptiness. They had to conquer Igboland village by village, town to town, hamlet by hamlet, from Aro to the hinterlands. The resistance was so stiff. There is a town in Anambra state called Uga. Every 26th December they celebrate Obuofo day. Obuofo means "he who carries ancestral authority". Their clan just like every Igbo society is ruled by an elders council who are legitimate heads of every large family. So when the brits moved down to their community, they said hell no. For years they fought off colonial rule. The brits died in their numbers. Then one day the cunny brits asked for a peace meeting. The elders went,their guards were down because it was a taboo in Igbo culture to kill a peace messenger. The Brits unfortunately don't have such culture. So they gathered them all and killed. That was the beginning of end to Uga resistance to British rule. So till this day on every 26th December they celebrate these men who went but did not come back. Now in your mind how can Igala colonise such a people Even the great Bini empire kept a respectable distance. 3 Likes |
