Ariani:


How can Bini get to Eastern Igboland without passing through Ikaland?

Ariani:


That's none of my concern.
Ika and Ndokwa Ukwuani people should go and settle it out with Bini /Itsekiri people.

Reno and some tactless Igbos should stop dragging the rest of us sensible Igbos into something we have nothing to do with.

RoyalUc:


You are just one bitter soul!

Since when is it a crime to uphold and defend your identity and cultural heritage?
That the Ika or Ukwani/Ndokwa refused to be lumped into your tribe is too big a deal for you to handle.

The Ndokwa Ukwani people for instance are warriors. They've never been defeated and captured by any tribe. As a matter of fact, they fought off any invader, made slaves of people, and even captured and killed Whitemen who ventured into their land (funny enough, till today, church folks still attribute the level of backwardness in that region to the killings, bloodshed and charms done by their ancestors). Till today, they still have the mentality of resisting external influences, including 'western' development.

It might interest you to know that the word for slaves known as 'osu' in your tribe is 'Igbo' in Ndokwa Ukwani.

gregyboy:



They ika were already under bini rule which would make it easier for benin invaders ti cross to the core east without resistance but even with assitance

Chai. Shinedu will help you develop your palm trees haha.

iSlayer:



Capital thrash. You are a slave to Bini. Tweh.

gregyboy:


So olivia acquino frim the east lied in the 1800

Ariani:


You are obviously not okay upstairs.
What has Osu to do with slaves? Osu doesn't mean slave. Empty Head.
Slave in Igbo is Odibo. There is also Ohu/Oru.
Stop embarrassing yourself.

Which bitterness do you speak of?
Taa gbafuo!
Any human with brain cells know that Reno is referring to Ukwuani Ndokwa and Ika people.
They are the ones with extensive interactions with Bini and Itsekiris.
Ndiigbo would rather Reno come out clean and stop roping us into something we know nothing about.
Who cares about whatever slavish origin you uphold? Ara agbakwana gi! How many Igbos send you lots?

Go settle your slavish relationship with Binis and Itsekiris and leave Ndiigbo out of your mess. We don't know you.
Get a grip of yourselves.

BKayy:

Who is Olivia Acquino?

RoyalUc:


Typical of you people! Ignorant yet boastful!
So, there is nothing like the osu caste system in igbo land?

Reno may be referring to the Igbankes, (which obviously, you don't even know about) and the Ikas, but not even the Ogwashi ukwus, Nsukwa people, etc

iSlayer:



Capital thrash. You are a slave to Bini. Tweh.

iSlayer:
I think the Ika/Ukwuani/Ikwerre/Ogba are the only tribes in the whole of subsaharan Africa to still claim their slave masters. Every other African tribe deposed their slave masters and forge ahead with their real identity. The Ika/Ukwuani/Ikwerre/Ogba remained slaves after the end of serfdom officially.

As it is said "it is only an animal (or a slave) that answers to the name (bears the identity) it was given by another person". Ika et al are a disgrace to African consciousness.

RoyalUc:


See how pained you are!

Anyway, everyone knows you are always ruled by emotions without rational thoughts that's why people like Reno, FFK, including MNK, can easily take you people on a ride

Ariani:


Raw undiluted truth that would have been made obvious more if only Reno was looking for traffic hence he hid these slavish people behind ***** while he projected Igbos to gain traffic.

gregyboy:



They ika were already under bini rule which would make it easier for benin invaders ti cross to the core east without resistance but even with assitance

SlyDev:


Legend you are out for blood today. You see ehn maybe all these South South tribes are aware of igbo dark past, that's why they are avoiding them.

Ariani:


You are not mentally okay.
What has Osu to do with our discussion?
What do you know about Osu?
Mtchew.

Lol! I Know about Igbanke, Owa ri uzo, etc. They are all Ika people in Edo state.

Ogwashi uku are proud Nri people and has nothing to do with Bini slavish history of Ika and related groups.

Thank you.

iSlayer:



Capital thrash. You are a slave to Bini. Tweh.

RoyalUc:


"What has Osu to do with our discussion?" Did you just ask that? Is it not obvious you don't understand English? What is the meaning of osu? And in what context did I make reference to it? Just emotional outbursts!

Ogwashi uku are proud Nri people, right? If according to you, a people who are closer to the people you're insulting even by natural settlements have "nothing to do with Bini slavish history," how come a people who are farther interior away from the binis are the slaves to them?
Do you even know the places you are talking about?

Ariani:


You said Osu meant slave. Which obviously betrayed your ignorance as Osu were not slaves.
They were people dedicated to shrines/gods.
And only like 2/5th of Igboland practiced Osu caste.
Igbo word for slave is Odibo. We have another variant of Odibos called Ohu/Oru.

Ika is the closest to Bini in Anioma while Ndokwa Ukwuani are the closest to Itsekiri.
These two groups also have a slavish attachment to Bini.
Putting two and two together, it doesn't take long to unravel the ***** in Reno drivel.

Nwanyiogwashi:

If bini with their empire could not defeat Agbor Alone and expend to Western Igbo territory is itsekiri with the population of 30,000 can do that?

It take British days to defeat bini and itsekiri with all their empire but I took British years to defeat Igbo without empire.

Which igboland did bini and itsekiri got this slaves from?

Ojiofor:


Is there any tribe in Nigeria that were not sold as slaves?
BTW,So now you and Reno agreed that Anioma people are Igbos because it suits your narrative today.

LegendHero:


Wait I won’t leave you until you answer my question.

See the narration below.

—Benin slave raider: We need to get more slaves on the ship today to Portugal. We need to head eastward to take those guys since they are very easy to get.

(The raiders transit for few days and they came across Shinedu in the bush without no cloth but just leaf coverings).

—Shinedu (talking to himself): Na me be Shinedu, I get muscle (flex muscle), I can develop any jungle. Beat his chest 3 times, repeat again I can develop any jungle whether abload or Poltugal.

—Benin slave raiders peeping: Chai Obaseki, that guy say he fit develop any jungle, just shoot catapult and aim his forehead or nack him 2by2 jazz.

Question to you Nwanyiogwashi :
Which of the two options do you think Obaseki used? Stone or Jazz?

gregyboy:


Bini had longed conquered western igbos before they encountered any European i doubt if benin raided western igbos for slave trade am only aware they raided eastern igbos for slave and not western igbos they were familiar with

iSlayer:



Olaudah was from the Anioma area.

jerseyboy:
Itshekiri did not go hunt for slaves. They owned slaves naturally as a result of being at the ports of slave trade. People have Igbo Calaba house boys back then without ever nearing the Niger. It is natural to the people selling the slaves to drop some for domestic economy.

From Your man Reno:

Dear Dominic,
It was not a case of conquest so to say. In terms of population, the Igbos have always been by far larger than the Binis and Itsekiri. However, they never formed an empire and instead lived in autonomous villages and clans.
The advantage the Itsekiri and Benin had was that they formed Kingdoms under one king and had a standing army. So, all they did was expand their empires by raiding one autonomous village at a time.
You will notice that the Fulani were able to penetrate the Hausas, Northern minority and even poached a bit of the Oyo Empire, but they never made inroads to us. Never, ever, ever.
Google our Bronzes and swords. Some have been carbon dated to be almost a thousand years old.
Now, imagine a people with bronze weapons fighting a people without any type of metal weaponry from village to village. You can put two and two together.
However, what worsened the situation was our friendship with the Portuguese. My direct ancestor, Ogiame Atunwase I, the 7th Olu of Warri, was the first West African to have a university degree in 1611. He was also a Catholic. He wore a crown with a Cross on it.
Both Portugal and the Catholic Church were our allies. As a matter of fact, the famous street called Akpakpava in Benin is a bastardisation of the word Papal Via (meaning Pope road in Latin). That was the road where the Pope’s ambassador to the Binis and Itsekiris lived.
They sold us guns, which enabled our ancestors to further extend their domains.
Even the British had to sign a peace treaty with us in the 19th Century, because when they wanted to take over the palm oil trade from us Nana Olomu fought them and survived.
From 1851, the British themselves officially recognised the Itsekiri as the Governors of the Benin River, with Idiare becoming the first Governor.
Someone like me, and many other Itsekiri, we have written records of our ancestry for at least 200 years.
Our strength is not in numbers. We have never been well populated. We compensated for our lack of numbers by our unity and willingness to submit without question to one king.

LegendHero:


Chai Ibo people don suffer. I need to ask Reno what means Benin used in selling those Ibo as slaves during those era.

Will they say, Shinedu come here, get on the ship and off you go to Portugal. If Shinedu fail to comply, they bundle him, beat him with Benin correct jazz, and off you go on the waters.

Or could it be the Benin slave raider caught Shinedu where he is beating his chest that he can develop anywhere in the world?

I have a question tho:
Reno mentioned one particular group of Ibo people who he used ***** for. Could you please tell me which clan is that?

EraseTheDot:
