What of the Igbos in Benue and Kogi state who were conquered by the Igala and Jukun nobody mocks you for that I see no reason for the continued violence and tension between the yoruba and igbos what's all the name calling for

Which Igbos in Kogi and Benue were conquered by Jukuns and Igalas?

Do you drink Omo?

The Umuezekhoha Izzi and Ezza clans in Benue have nothing to do with Junkuns, their lands were simply carved into Benue state.
They have their own Ezes and pay no tribute to any other kingdom.
Better guard your utterances here.

Itsekiri need eboe slaves, Aro need guns and weapons, they both need each other. Itsekiri can get slaves from another place while it will be difficult for Aro to get guns from other places.

Where else could Itsekiri get slaves from? When they are surrounded by Igbos? In fact the Bini stopped trading slaves in the late 17th century so the Itsekiri were in complete dependence to the Aros

He who controls supply controls the trade, if the Itsekiri didn't give the Aro enough Manilla and guns then they wouldn't trade with them so it was the Itsekiri who depended on the Aro


Aros never had any contact with the Itsekiris.

Aros were trading with the British through Calabar.

Aros got slaves mainly by tricks & trade and not war.

Binis and Aros never traded.

Jukuns & Igalas never conquered the Igbos but rather most peaceful Jukuns & Igalas ran into Igbo land so as to avoid going to war for their warlike kings

Why are you acting as if the Jukuns and Igala didn't occupy majority of the middle belt even south of the confluence where igbos and yorubas lived they conquered those areas they may have not paid tribute but they lost in war to the Jukun and Igala

FALSE AGAIN


The Itsekiri were those who sold them at the cost it was the Aro Igbos that controlled the inland capture of slaves they used the slave trade to gsin more advanced weapons to be abke to increase their influence and geographical spread

Itsekiris sold no Igbo at the coast. Unless you mean Ukwuani and Ndokwa slaves.
Igbo slaves were sold at Bight of Biafra ( Bonny and Calabar) slave markets.

Aros didn't trick anyone they fought wars

If they didn't come into contact with the Itsekiri even better makes this argument shorter

Aro definitely traded with Binis most likely through smithing

Ndiigbo have no history of fighting wars with Junkuns.
None whatever.
The Izzi and Ezza Igbo clans in Benue live at the boundary of Ebonyi and Benue and their land is contiguous with the rest of Ezza and Izzi clans in Ebonyi states.
They have always been in their ancestral lands.
Its is not their fault that Nigerian Government carved their lands into Benue state. They were never conquered.
As for Igala, their push towards Nsukka and Northern Anambra were halted by the Igbos there and the Igalas that stayed behind were acculturated or at different stages of acculturation into Igbo as we type.

I know Arochukwu story more than you.

Aros got slaves mainly through tricks & trade and less through war.


Jukuns & Igalas never marched south.

They concentrated on conquering nations North of them which led to the sacking of Kano in 1000AD by the Kwararafa kingdom.

The Igalas later violently separated themselves from Kwararafa kingdom

Opportunist? NO


They were skilled fighters and warriors any war within that area in fact any war in south eastern Nigeria even as far as cameroon they called on Aro warriors to fight it because they were the most fierce which was why they were able to conquer so much land and raid so many villages and areas for slaves

Aros themselves were not fighters.
They had an alliance with fighting Igbo clans like Ohafia,Edda and Abam.
They were blood brothers to Aros and did the slave raiding and fighting for Aro people.

Yeah, because Remo omokri, an itshekiri loud mouth told you so, and it became part of your history without evidence. It may stock with you cowards, but not with we Igbos, because it didn't happen. We know the lagos ibadan express way gutter media and what they have been doing.
Muguh, fulani is occupying your land for over 200 years and we all are witness to it today. Go and take it back and stop talking gibberish about fighting back at Ibadan. Why stop at Ibadan? Go on and fight them off from kwara and take over Kwara from them if you are not cowards.
Have you ever been to Kwara or read anything about Kwara other than hearsay? There are multiple ethnics groups in Kwara. The Emir leadership is limited to Ilorin and didn't cover the entire Kwara. The entire Kwara South cities and towns have their Obas

Point of Correction, Ndigbo don't surround Itsekiri but Ndokwa and Ukwuani which your Aboh is a major part of.
In other words, your people (Aboh, Ndokwa and Ukwuani) surround Itsekiri and were taken as slaves by the Itsekiri.
Ndigbo are miles away

No need to put that Eze nonsense. We don't do such. Those are British inventions.
As for the people of Benue, why dont he Abohboy go and ask them who Ezza (their nightmare) is.
There are a lot of things that are better kept away from the Internet. Even till date, Ezza is still writing their name in the hearts of their young with their blood.
Who dash monkey banana.
The most violent part of Igboland is in Ebonyi. Them no born any Benue tribe well to invade there.

FALSE AGAIN


Ekumeku was still ongoing when Arochukwu was sacked by the British and if you didn't know the Aboh were part of the people fighting in Ekumeku we were a trading point in the Niger and a massive naval power at the time within the niger delta we tried to fight off the british navy and blow up their ships before they landed but were only partially successful I know because my grandfather was an Ezomo ( Warrior King ) and his father told him the exploits of the Ekumeku War
LOL. You don't even know the history of Aboh.
Aboh was the first Igbo community (when they were still Igbo) to fall to the British, that's why they flanked British invading force like lap dogs.
Can you answer why the first Warrant chief in Igboland was an imported Aboh man to Oraifite (around 1846 or so) when the war (Ekumeku) haven't even started?
Aboh people were not fighters of any such. That is recorded.
Aboh was the first province for the British when resistance were still starting in other Igbo communities.
Please don't lie here again. You might be from Aboh for the sake of exposing your people, you shouldn't call them lions when in reality they were weak chickens
