Yoruba for don see who we really are if they are close enough.

Every Eastern minority tribes understands.
Even the ijaw with all thier gra gra knows as e dey be (reason all of them are running from Biafra)

Igbo is not a regular weak tribe.

They are adamant warriors

You fought wars and conquered territories and have lost ILORIN till today.


The only tribe that 'drowned' themselves instead of being slaves are IGBOs.

The only tribe that took the British 30+years to conquer are IGBOs.

Yoruba that are in Cuba and Brazil went for excursion abi?

You are the largest contingent of slaves that were sold by the white slave traders.. it was so bad that they used your ancestors chest to write 'merry Christmas'. I also have receipts in abundance.. so stop the CAP.

Moreover the Source of this thread is from the UK Archives. So stop crying and understand that even in the 1700-1800-1900 till date. Yoruba have never been regarded as a threat.

Lol ! Which "more advanced race of people " recorgnised Igbo as warriors ? Do you guys even know the meaning of "warrior" that you are throwing around carelessly ?! How can anyone recorgnise a tribe that has no known record of war history or conquered any territory through war as warriors ? Trust me, you guys have Seun to thank a lot for as he is the one saving you guys from some real and certain embarrassments. Some of us would have uploaded some pictures and receipts here which would have really embarrassed Igbo people ! You don't want to read what the white men wrote about your people when they arrived in Africa;it will really embarrass you,trust me !

Mumu,why waiting for Nigeria to break up before attacking the Yoruba ? You have always wanted to do that but your "livers" always fail you each time you contemplate it ! Ode,ilorin, yen,yen,yen,when it is on records that the Yoruba mercilessly crushed and defeated the Fulani Army 1840 - see the battle of Osogbo !

Igbo are not any warrior tribe,that exists only your deluded mind ! A tribe whose people were sold in droves into the slavery by its neighouring tribes - Ijaw,Igala,Binis - are today calling themselves one yeye "warrior tribe" ! Isn't that laughable,Mr warrior from Alaigbo,lol ! Nobody is even fighting with you,all we are asking for is for you guys to bring just a proof to support this 'warrior tribe'' claim ! The only "warrior" that's recorded in your tasteless history is one fictional "Okonkwo" in Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart ! So shut up your smelly ogiri trap there,kiddo !

Yoruba people are not into any senseless dick measuring contest with you Igbo,there is no basis for it. Why should Yoruba be measuring dick with a people with such a tasteless history of slavery and cannibalism ?! Your forebears were described as primitive hinterland bushmen and cannibals by the white men . You guys should be thankful to a certain Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther,a Yoruba man,who liberated your forefathers from hunting themselves as food for dinners ! Believe it or not,as recent as 1930s,Igbo people were still walking around butt-naked like some primates in their jungles !

Yes,there were Yoruba slaves but 99% of them were bought and sold into the slavery by same Yoruba people. A lot were captured during the Yoruba intra tribal wars - read up about Kiriji war,Jalumi war,Ekiti pararapo war,Ijaye war,Egba/Dahomey war,etc. You may read up about a certain Madam Efunsetan Aniwura or Oba Kosoko of Lagos too;Yoruba no be ya mate,trust me ! Yoruba did not lose a single war to any other tribe in their history,the records are all there. Can same be said of the Igbo whose tiny enclave were constantly being raided by the Ijaws,Binis,Igala and Itshekiri for slaves ! Even during civil war,the only successful offensive campaign by the Biafra army was led by a Yoruba man - Col Banjo ! Did Ojukwu not escape to Abidjan in Bianca's wrappers when he received the intelligence that Col Benjamin Adekunle's 3rd Marine Commandoes was approaching his hideout ?! Shior,bunch of empty chestbeating cowards who want everyone to see them as brave or tough !

Lol,an Igbo man is talking about who is not a threat,isn't that laughable ! You have no idea what a laughing stock you guys have become in Nigeria and elsewhere! We don't call you empty chestbeating braggarts for nothing,e get why !

Believe it or not,as an Igbo,you don't want to read what's domiciled inside the British archives about Igbo tribe;It will set off a depression in you ! You Igbo were NOBODY yesterday and you are still NOBODY even till today and tomorrow, loudmouthed fools from hell !

It's the 'domiciled' history that states emphatically that IGBOs are the strongest tribe in NIGERIA.

Why are you crying and gnashing your teeth? You can't even face the FULANI that have 'till today' annexed your land called ILORIN.

You write long NONSENSE to cover your tears and disappointments, at the worthless ancestors that exposed your cowardice from time immemorial.

I was waiting for receipts from you. Where as this thread has a certified receipt from the UK Archives. So if your hope is UK based history, what else can you offer in the contrary?

It's so shameless that even on this list a major tribe like Yoruba, are not listed as strong. This means that from time past till present day. Yoruba land is a gathering of COWARDs.

This is historical documentation...
What the UK saw, was replicated by the FULANI.

It's not my fault....you are darn COWARDs.

Stfu and read you Dullard. While you hopeless cowards drowned your pitiable selves in an ocean out of the fear of what it is to come. Yoruba people were leaders of revolutions in south America that led to the emancipation of a lot of slaves.

We are smart and wise, we didnt waste our lives and generations to come because of the fear of fighting for our freedom, hopelessness and cowardice. We did not give up, we rose up from slavery with the heart of stone that led major revolutions in south America which brought about the freedom of the slaves there. Yoruba people created an environment where they and their generations to come can thrive and be free right on the slavers land. They didn't kill themselves and their generation out of fear and cowardice of what is to come

Yoruba people literally freed them selves from slavery rather than drowning like useless goats

Leaders of revolutions in South America? That lost their ancestral land in NIGERIA to savages with bows and arrows on horseback?

Stop the CAP...and stop smoking 'Colorado' . When you want to rant aimlessly, swinging foolishly without making a sensible point, know that you are not talking to baseless idiots that litter the bus parks all over the South West Region.

Yoruba lead no revolution in South America and if you must know. All Yoruba slave descendants in Brazil live in the densely poverty inclined regions in South America.

Go and research before you come online and showcase your Sophisticated foolishness, with unfathomable morale.

Before Igbo arrival in the Aro territory, a group of proto Ibibio migrated to the area and established the Ibom Kingdom during the Bantu expansion. This proto Ibibio group originally came from Usak Edet (Isanguele), a segment of the Ejagham in present-day Southern Cameroon. The Eze Agwu clan from Abiriba, initiated Igbo migration into the region around the mid-17th century. The Ibibio clan welcomed all until some started rebelling against the ruling house. The Eze Awgu group who lead the rebellion against the ruling family aligned with several outside forces like the Priest Nnachi from the Edda group near Afikpo, was called by their king Awgu Inobia (Eze Agwu) for help. When he arrived, Nnachi and Eze Agwu allied with prince Akakpokpo Okon of the Ibibio kingdom of Ibom Kingdom. Akakpokpo Okon was the son of a marriage between an Igbo woman of the Eze Agwu clan and the King Obong Okon Ita in an attempt of a peace treaty for a war that have been fought between the Igbo subgroup and Ibibio. The Eze Agwu/Nnachi faction decided to help Akakpokpo attempt to overthrow his brother king Akpan Okon.[1]


Aro Confederacy, and its far reaching Influence
The coup was heavily resisted which called for even more help. Through Nnachi, an Eastern Cross river group answered the call for help. They were known as the Akpa who were living at today Akwa Akpa before the arrival of the Efik people in that region. These warriors and traders, may have had European guns which were new to the territory. Being the Igbo allies, the Akpas were led by the royal Nnubi family. Osim and Akuma Nnubi led Akpa soldiers to help fight against the ruling household. Together with Igbo forces and rebels, they fought against the Ibom Kingdom forces (1690). During the final battles, Osim Nnubi was slain in Oror city state making it the capital of Arochukwu. At the end of the war, Osim and Akakpokpo were dead. In order to honor Osim's legacy, his brother Akuma was crowned the first EzeAro (king). After his death, Nnachi's descendants took the throne starting with his first son Oke Nnachi. The Arochukwu kingdom, was founded

The Nsukka-Igala wars occurred in the 18th to 19th century following an Igala invasion that left a significant portion of Nsukka under Igala occupation. Nsukka is one of the most notable Igbo subgroups to be involved in these wars as the Igala people invaded and briefly occupied the district. The Nsukka people have continuously inhabited northern Igboland since the 3rd millennium BCE as shown through archeological continuity and glottochrony. They are considered to be one of the first Igbo subgroups by historian and archeologist Edwin Eme Okafor. During the period of the Igbo-Igala Wars, marked by a scarcity of labor and insecurity resulting from slave raiding and the Nsukka-Igala conflicts, notable changes occurred in the iron smelting practices of the Nsukka people. Due to urgency, some iron smelters resorted to using wood directly in their smelting process, bypassing the usual practice of burning it to produce charcoal. This adaptation in smelting techniques demonstrates the impact of the war on the traditional methods employed by the Nsukka community, as they incorporated wood into their process to sustain their iron production amidst the challenging conditions.[3] The conflicts started with the arrival of a figure named Onọjọ Ogboni whose background is surrounded in mystery. One of the 18th century conflicts was the Battle of Nsukka in 1794, which resulted in a Nsukka military victory, invasion of Idah and brief occupation of Idah by a combined Nsukka and Nike forces.

Peace Pact

As the protracted crisis lingered, the state governments were busy working out measures to restore peace. At the end, the Deputy Governor of Cross Rivers State, Professor Ivara Esu, visited Southern Ukelle on a trouble-shooting mission where he and his Ebonyi State counterpart, Mr. Kelechi Igwe, signed a peace agreement to maintain the peace between the warring communities in both states. Esu told the people of Ukelle that the state government and the federal government were very much aware of the boundary conflict between the people of Ukelle and their Izzi neighbours.

But, Esu who expressed displeasure over the conflict, said it was unfortunate that the conflict was still ragging despite the meeting with representatives of both communities, and the government of both states. Esu said in attendance at the meeting, were service chiefs, traditional rulers, assembly members, the director general of the NBC, and representatives of the communities.

While stating that the people of Cross River State are peace-loving, and cannot be the aggressors against their Ebonyi neighbours, he appealed to the Federal Government and the NBC, to do all within their powers to resolve the crisis permanently.

Read this my clown ... Go thank lord


During the early 19th century, the Eastern Igbo subgroups located in Ebonyi State underwent a significant migration towards the Cross River areas, this in turn manifested in boundary disputes between several Eastern Igbo groups with her neighbours such as Ikwo-Nsobo and Osopo of Cross River State, Izzi – Osopo and Yala of Cross River State and Mgbo-Igala of Benue State. A similar migration skirmish towards Abia State in the 17th century established the Aro Confederacy. As the Ezza, Izzi, Ikwo subgroups moved northward, all who are said to descend from siblings whose patriarch hailed from Afikpo, the Ezza ecountered the indigenous Orri people and protected them from extinction in exchange for farming rights. The Ikwo people encountered the Okum and annihilated then assimilated the rest of them, the Okum do not exist as an identifiable group anymore but there is archeological and cultural proof of their existence, as there are non-Igbo dances and masquerades in modern Ikwo culture. The southern Ikwo displaced the indigenous Adadama group far to modern Cross River State.

Conflict with Igala
edit
As the Igala already lived in the area with the Orri they sought friendship with the Ezza and gave them land for farming. However, betrayed by the Ezza whose true intent was expansion and to address their ongoing land scarcity. It led to a conflict between the two groups, resulting in the Igala's defeat and expulsion from their occupied territory which the Ezza then took control of. The Agba community, located in Ebo Ndiagu, Ochuhu Agba, and Orie Agba Elu, faced defeat as the Ezza's territory expanded. Some rallied, but despite putting up a spirited but brief defense, the Agba were compelled to retreat southwards, leaving their abandoned lands to be later settled by Umunwagu and Ikwuate (Idembia). Seeking safety and security, the Agba people sought refuge in Ishielu Division, departing from their original mainland settlements. The Ezza met them again in 1850 and again conquered and displaced the remnants, naming the new territory Ezzagu.

In comomeration of the wars that the Igbo fought and won and territories gained ...there is a WAR DANCE in Abia that is still performed till day ...in Abriba and Ohafia while the Arochukwu celebrate Ikeji to always remind them of the wars



According to oral history, the ancestors of Ohafia were renowned to be mighty men of war who were always on the lookout for wars to take part in.[3] The Ohafia warrior tradition which remains one of the fundamental identity of the people of Ohafia is hinged in the performance of ikpirikpi ogu - the practice of beheading a fallen enemy. A human skull is a proof of a man's courage and strength. Only those who brought home a human head could join the Ogbu-Isi society and wear an eagle's plume which is a symbol of courage

Now read


In 1892 the British Armed Forces set out to fight the Ijebu Kingdom, which had resisted missionaries and foreign traders. The legal justification for this campaign was a treaty signed in 1886, when the British had interceded as peacemakers to end the Ekiti Parapo war, which imposed free trade requirements and mandated that all parties continue to use British channels for diplomacy.[19] Although the Ijebu had some weapons they were wiped out by British Maxims, the earliest machine gun. With this victory, the British went on to conquer the rest of Yorubaland, which had also been weakened by sixteen years of civil war.[40] By 1893, most of the other political entities in Yorubaland recognised the practical necessity of signing another treaty with the British, this one explicitly joining them with the protectorate of Lagos.[just from 1892 to early 1893)

The British had difficulty conquering Igboland, which lacked a central political organisation. In the name of liberating the Igbos from the Aro Confederacy, the British launched the Anglo-Aro War of 1901–1902. Despite conquering villages by burning houses and crops, continual political control over the Igbo remained elusive.[43][44] The British forces began annual pacification missions to convince the locals of British supremacy

The Oyos had Crushed the Dahomey Army more that 5 times before the King of
Dahomey resorted to using Women to breach the huge Shortfall in Male fighters
On one Occassion the Dahomians Lamented about their defeat at the hands of Oyo that the Ground was full of the bodies of
their Soldiers for as far as the eye could see in every direction

The first Invasion took place on Monday the 3rd of March 1851 around 3.43 pm. Commander Forbes, a British Naval officer, and Mr Beecroft, the consul for the Bights of Benin and Biafra were at Abomey (the capital of Dahomey) to make a deal to stop the incessant raids on Abeokuta and its neighbouring states. It was during this meeting that the Dahomeans concluded their plans of attacking Abeokuta once again.

An intelligence report has gotten to the Egba Chiefs of this invasion that was going to happen at any time. Some of the Egba Chiefs took this warning with a pinch of salt, except for the then Alake of Egbaland, Sagbua and the Balogun of Ikija, Balogun Ogunbona who was known for his brilliant foresight. They assembled the people and had the walls of the city around Aro (where the current Psychiatric Hospital is in Abeokuta) repaired but the rest of the city walls was in bad shape.

The Dahomey Amazons were ready and were concluding their war rituals before marching towards Abeokuta. Historical accounts say the leader of the band had all her warriors mark themselves in red and black body paint as they swore never to sleep, rest or eat until Abeokuta is overrun.
