BlowYourMind:
Nice one but only a bastard will claim another person's land as a fugitive, I am a Yoruba and will never be Igbo nor have anything to do with them, I will never retrogress by going to their land, I will choose any other tribe over my tribe, because I am not a bastard or an impersonator, I will never lie or speak derogatory words and untrue words again the tribe I claimed is mine. Only a fool pretend to bash another and I will never be a fool.

The igbos were not the only ones walking naked.

Btw, walking naked showed they were not able to develop,

they were never able to create a writing system talkless of clothing.

This basically showed they never were able to pass the hunter gathering stage.

As for dressing nude or with skimpy dresses, you can create a nude colony or go nude at home.




Have you ever heard of Nsibidi? I guess not. You should Google it.

They didn't really walk around naked, they wore skimpy clothes.

Hunter gatherer tribes are known to be more intelligent than pastoralist and farming tribes.

Most of what is written here are pure propaganda and lies, an attempt to change and distort history.

There is nothing wrong being proud of your identity but an attempt to change history is wrong.

The igbo clothing you made mentioned of, it was not indigenous to igbo people, almost every tribe made a similar clothing style like the one you posted.

Fyi, this has nothing to do with igbo hating.

See ur people eat grass in 2021

It's alright.

Low self-esteem. Otherwise, would anyone want to deny their ancestry?

Nsibidi isnt a writing language but a pictogram or syllabograms.

If Nsibidi was actually a writing language then it would have been developed, look at the English language, the old king james version english developed to the present English language.

Why are the igbos not writing in Nsibidi?

You claim the igbos were not walking about naked but in skimpy clothes but there are lot of pictorial evidence that showed otherwise they were barely covered.

An hunter gathering society is the first stage of civilization, so how can they be more intelligent than an agricultural or pastoral tribes.

Unfortunately, many African tribes haven't passed the hunter gathering, agricultural and pastoral stages of civilization.

Btw, most pastoral tribes are known as the warrior tribes and elite tribes, small in number but love to be the ruling class, this trace have been found in the tutsi tribe, maasai ,fulani etc.

Igbos didn't only manufacture clothing, but various forms of weaponry, and other artefacts.

Some examples of Igbo merchandise.

Below are a sword, javelin, and tobacco pipe of Igbo make.

My grand father still has this javelin...he said it belongs to his own grand father...I will ensure I preserve it...

Stop decieving yourselves
Nsibidi wasn't Igbo

They were basically naked

The first historical man(homo sapiens) were hunter gatherers
Are they more intelligent than the present mostly farming man? grin

This thread is full of propaganda

What is your point?
What is the name of your ethnic group let's compare your precolonial achievements with those of Ndiigbo.

Nsibidi originated from small Ejagham tribe in Cross River. Ndiigbo living close to them borrowed and modified it to serve us.
That's basically how progressive communities behave.

you are right about this..i experienced this first hand during my nysc days and i cherish them for that.. most people hate them because they are enterprising and brag about it (but who wouldnt if you have it abeg flaunt it)...i have lived almost everywhere in the country but igbo liberalism is second to none and sometimes i wish i am igbo eventhough i cherish my yoruba ancestry.. if i am to freely chose where to live in the country, it will definitley be igbo land...

There is no known empire that has ever existed in the southeast.

Dwellings there consisted of hamlets.
