IgbosDestroynSA:

You agree you people can not make it without first getting to Southwest. That’s good that you know. Yoruba remains a compulsory subject in Lagos schools. So?

yes for now...i know many schools that teach igbo in lagos its no big deal....yes we cannot make it without getting to lagos thats why we must use our economic power to buy up the state gradually

Sctests:


That's a lie, if it was indigenous to Igboland, we would have borrowed words for it. Akpu is indigenous to Igboland, yoruba borrowed the word fufu from other West Africans who were neighbours to yorubaland. Do your research.

Cassava is not even indigenous to Africa.

christistruth01:



You are Joking aren't you ?

Cassava came from Brazil

Cassava did not come from Brazil. The ones we use are native to Africa.

Cocoa

It was the Christians and Missionaries including Bishop Ajayi Crowther that brought them to you to save you from Hunger

And your father's were ever so grateful for it

IPob don’t allow them study. They prefer to sit at a home and cry Biafra. Or come Southwest con sell biscuits.
The biscuit business is reserved for their middle class. Normally na ice cream and gala be their main trade.

There was no Cassava at all before Christian returnee Slaves and Missionaries brought them to Africa

It was afterwards that other varieties. were developed

Fine. The ones used are an African varietiy. I know because I have tasted both.

@OP, this is an edited material and I doubt its authenticity, like ijo, Ibo is the spelling in most literature of that era

Mango
Cocoa
Cassava

Powerful descriptions from Crowther. Our traditional religion was well described, as observe in Aboh, today's Delta state.

Crowther would never believe today they deny to be Igbos.

That annual festival reminds me of Jewish cleansing as recorded in the old testament.

Cannabis too is not indigenous to Afrca

IgbosDestroynSA:

Thank God for our leaders. So Na like this education dey important?
I wish you finish secondary school. Maybe you would have known that Cassava and maize are not indigenous to Africa. You don see cassava grown on Im own before?

Please name 5 indigenous crops/food of Africa?

So the Aboh refers to Agbor? Very interesting. That's why identity is key. I remember that in my primary school in this same Lagos, we were taught where our kith and kins are. They have the map of Yorubaland and make us learn them.I realise that the system has started again with history back in the curriculum. Your cultural identity is important. There must have been a lack of reinforcement,unfortunately, Agbor has been reinforcing more of their non Igbo identity perhaps.
Without your contribution, I wouldn't have known that he probably referred to present day Agbor who are now regarded as Edoid. Thank you.

Apart from what you listed, what else were Yorubas eating before colonialism?

christistruth01:


If you dare touch their Eba

Omo, Eba-Ibo is sweet o.


I have been eating eba-Ibo since 1985 whenever I am chanced to see a restaurant where they sell Igbo foods.
