Hello I'm arguing with someone and I need to know who came up with the name "Igbo"? How did it come to be and how old is it?

Does anybody here know when the "IGBO" name originated from and who originated it?

This is not the place or the platform to disclose such gem. It is a subject of inhouse discussion. It is unlike Yari.baa.

From my own understanding, that's where the name originated from.

Btw, you are yet to tell us about your opinion on this issue.

Can we read from you.

Thank you

The first people I read that identified themselves as Igbo or eboa where the Igbos of bonny island in rivers state ....so everyone who speak the same language was called Igbo

The first Igbo language was written in bonny dialect

Ironically people today say bony is not Igbo

There is what generally termed as the understanding of a fool. It is very natural especially when such crass stream of thought is offered as an answer to a question.

How long ago was this? When did they start classifying themselves as Igbo?

Rule 1

Thank you for inviting mods to this thread. Easy way to get rid of the boy cancelling the comments which is same you.

Known, confirmed, verified on this forum as the notorious NL canceller.

It's actually quarter cleverness to use one moniker to deliberately provoke others and switch to another moniker to report them when they respond.

Try and grow some balls. Engage with us intellectually without wasting your time and energy ball in the name of cancelling of comments and trolling.

Repeat your stale lines, what are you talking about

Eish

I do not think it is a crime anywhere in the world to accept ignorance of a term. You should have submitted to your ignorance instead of the ridicule. I guess certain case of stupidity is very inherent. The link from your post explored the depth.
