Like how Nigerians colonize London now, right? Has it ever occurred to you clowns that people flock from less developed regions to more developed regions?
The illiterate will still argue with you.
The Igbos have always been under the Yorubas.It is natural.

Before nko. Someone that gave them Christianity no be akpu small pass?
He lead the Yoruba colonization of igboland under the guise of Christianity. That’s why they are all over SW the way Yoruba flood UK. It’s easier to associate with your colonial masters.

Colonise ur mama head there. Why you wan change topic? It's Fulani cow chasers that colonised ur so called yoruba land and not uk. Stop deceiving urselves. Up till now, Fulani are still ur slave masters and ur leaders such as thiefnibu and his generation will still continue to lead the yorubas to lick the anus of buhari and his ilks for survival like rabid local dogs. grin grin grin

Yoruba people are the one that brought civilization to this country

Ajayi Crowther took the gospel of peace to Igbo.land and translated the entire Bible into Igbo language...


What a bitter truth to swallow to some.of these Jibo brothers and sisters...

Awolowo took his political campaign to the now-Abiaa state and started dishing out clothes through his helicopter or shopper because he saw most of them. naked.....

Lmao. Dey deceive your self. You must have pulled this statement out of your arse.

In 1826, Ajayi Crowther was taken to England by white missionaries to attend school of St Mary's Church in Islington, London. He returned to Freetown in 1827. He was the FIRST student admitted to the newly opened Fourah Bay College.

Fourah Bay College is the first western-style university built in Sub-Saharan Africa and, furthermore, the first university-level institution in Africa.

He got translators, wrote down what they said in English, and people are hailing him?

So if I go and get someone to translate something for me from Hausa to English, and I write this down, it means I wrote a Hausa book? grin grin grin

Una no go kill me with laughter. Anyone ca get a translators, write down what the translators say in English, there no exceptional about that

But what these liers have been saying is that Ajayi Crowther wrote an Igbo book. To this day, nobody has seen one single Igbo word Ajayi Crowther wrote

In all the writing of Bishop ajayi in the op concerning sacrifices and idolatry appeasement NO WHERE WAS HUMAN HEADS OR SKULLS MENTIONED

Unlike the region he came from undecided No wonder his people chased him away to igbo land. They must have been hungry for his own skull

If the missionary actually lived amongst the people! Ajayi Crowther never lived in Igbo land, he only visited, stayed less than a week and left

I still hold that nobody can show a single Igbo word Ajayi Crowther wrote. The book he is purported to have wrote, nobody has seen

All we have is a preface page claiming that Ajayi Crowther wrote an Igbo book, but nobody has ever seen the content of the book because there is no book

This is the same junk being bandied about online, a preface claiming that Ajayi Crowther wrote an Igbo book. Yet nobody can show us what Ajayi Crowther wrote. A page cannot make a book, show us the pages!

There is no page to show because no such book exists!

Isn't it amazing how his description of Igbo was clear cause it was easy but some Igbos have allowed themselves to be used against themselves redefining and politicizing Igbo ethnicity.

Isiokpo, Oratta, Abam, Ndoki, Umunshi, Ozuzu, Aboh, Aro still exist today. Isiokpo is in Ikwerre LGA of Rivers, Oratta in Owerri, Abam in Ohafia LGA of Abia, Ndoki in Ukwa West LGA of Imo, Umunshi in Anambra State, Ozuzu in Etche LGA of Rivers and Aboh in Ndokwa LGA of Delta State.

SOAS University of London Online you call junk. Did you attend a university at all to make such clownish statement. Lol.
