LOL, those ivory anklets is still a mystery to the Yoruba man from a nation of poverty. You shout sex slaves because you are confident that such lie won't be reciprocated. That's because Yoruba women's ugliness is like a shield guiding them from sexual exploitation. So no matter how someone tries to lie that Yoruba women were exploited, nobody will believe that a human being or animal will think of raping such ugliness Afonja women are known for. There were a lot that happened in Igboland during the slave trade but sex slave was never part of it. Learn to lie about something that sounds reasonable.

If you know anything in history, you would have known that whites don't sell ivory to blacks, in fact it was one of the things they exploited form Africa.

Those anklets are Igbo made. Now go and cry in peace now that you have seen the difference between both of us in HD. Not everybody dressed as poor and wretched as Yoruba people before colonialisation. Even Alaafin's wives didn't dress up to the standard of being considered poor if they were in Igboland with their Chinese hairstyle grin
Our women still rock it till this century

We are talking about how every goat chicken and Turkey in the Niger Delta sold Eboes as slaves for centuries

Everyone had a share Bini, Efik, Ijaw etc
Even Ikwerres had a share
That is why they reject being called Eboe because it is associated with slavery
Don't be scared, bring your Yoruba nation to the table not churning out pathetic lies to turn my attention to my neighbours that have never talked shit about us. Though the last that tried (Ijaw) got their Shameful history thrown at their faces.

Now look at what those you are trying to use as shield from my history lashing on Yorubas have to say about Ndigbo before European contact.

So Arochukwu was taken over by the Akpa brothers as Eze and they installed other Cultural practices like the Ekpe secret society etc

They used Arochukwu as a platform to sell Eboes for centuries

Ordinary Google would have cured your ignorance.

Let me tell you what you are trying to do by focusing on Akpa. You want me to make it look as if that Akpa are not Aro enough to rule the city so as to upset the balance in Arochukwu if the natives were to read my comment
But I am far smarter than you. I know all of your Afonja tricks.

So I will tell you this, although the ruling dynasty is not of Akpa, but there is nothing wrong if you mistake them as Akpa because Akpa is a full blooded Igbo clan in Arochukwu.
Thanks

Now can we talk about your Alaafin being of Nupe descent or Ilorin ruled by Fulani till tomorrow?

Ikwerre was under Aro Jurisdiction.
Itsekiri never had any encounter with Ndigbo as regard to slavery. If they did, I doubt there will be any remaining judging by their weak Yoruba nature.

Speaking of People harvested like poultry for slave trade, you might need to have a word with Ghezo, the Dahomey King that harvested Yorubas/nagos for slave as it was the custom of his father's and ancestors before him

First of all, Bini never sold slaves. Transatlantic slave trade was abolished by the Oba immediately it was introduced. You can take a trip to Uselu and ask the chiefs there.

Rubbish

The Bini not only sold Eboes but used them locally to build a number of monuments and as general labourers
This happened for centuries

Indeed the question is not who sold Eboes as slave BUT


WHO DID NOT ?

The full name for their prominent clan "Isiokpo" is Aro-Isiokpo.
Ask them

If you have noticed, your ancient Afonja trick of trying to make Minorities join you in your stupidity against Ndigbo as a bid to divert my attention from finishing up with Yoruba to them has not worked here since.
Do you know why?
Because the Minorities know you people and your tricks. They see you as a chameleon (no offence, it is a figure of speech)

PressMyButton:

I read about some itinerant blacksmiths called the Isobos (Urhobos) who migrated to Yoruba hinterlands in the early 30s with a slightly modified blacksmithing.
I wonder why you guys find it extremely difficult to make use of your brains in matters requiring basic logic. As at 1930, Nigeria had gone far beyond cutlasses, iron and gun blacksmithing. Nigeria was linking cities with bridges especially in Lagos. There were storey buildings, oil Mills, roads constructions, schools, there were handful of graduates at the time. Nigeria was not a kind of Stone age society as at 1930.
I wonder why you sounded so fulfilled about blacksmithing as though people were still living much as hunters and wanderers.


This is one really hit your cone-skull. let me expansiate for you. Isobo was a generic term used by the yolobas to refer to any one from the east.

as u can see, it was clearly stated those blacksmiths were from Awka and most popular amongnst them was "okafor."

Your people weren't technologically advanced to make superior guns Like mine, which was one of the biggest commodities during the early 20th century. of which your people never had the skill or had the Intellectual capacity to produce such magnifico weapons at that time..

"Nigeria had gone far beyond making guns in in 1930 ? " Nigga u sound dumb walai, to-date aren't guns still in production. lolz

That history is really hurting I know, So I'm not surprised u keep pouring out incoherent trash just to ease your pain.

Please don't come on a public forum and brazenly make outlandishly false claims.

Even if the purported school was founded in 1899 which I know is most likely false,there is no way it can be first in anything when even 20 years before 1899 a Sapara Williams had already been called to the English bar and some Nigerans Chief Ajasa,Q.C a signatory for the Lagos Colony with the British was already educated folk, the likes of Dr. JC Vaughan were getting ready to go overseas to study medicine, the likes of Pharm. TKE Phillips had started thinking of a career in Pharmacy and some years later opened the first Pharmacy in Lagos.

Let me not mention the likes of Herbert Macaulay, Henry Carr, Da Rocha, Bishop Ajayi Crowther, Revd Kuti etc who had covered some milestones around that time.

Please try and read wide.

Your people never evolved anything beyond village level administration

That s why small groups were able to sell you as slaves for centuries

If you still have an atom of shame left in you then allow Akpa clan to speak for themselves.
When did they make someone they consider inferior like you Yorubas their spoke person?

So you have nothing to bring to the debate in regards to yoruba land that you are now leaching onto Akpa as a basis for your argument when Akpa themselves are Igbo.

Its not even as if there is atom of truth in any of it. The ruling clan in Arochukwu is Nnachi, and Akpa are unadulterated Igbo with no apologies

If you as an Afonja is ashamed of Yorubaland then who am I to give a shred of dignity to them?
