OneCorner:
Igbos asking the essence of these thread because the narrative doesn’t pamper their ego...
These people are hypocrites of the first order and u wonder why they all have slanted head

SlyDev:
The history of igbo and ibibio is sad a tale that every Sotherners should know, if you doubt me, don't listen to anyone here, Google it yourself

Igbo migrated to ibibio territory, they were welcomed but because of their desire to always using the backdoor or traitors to gain power, the igbos planned and supported a palace coup to remove the ibibio Kings and they succeeded.

EastisBae:


Crap!
Is that why gallant Dahomey ladies even with menstrual cramps had to decimate afonjas, and even cut off so many heads with others taken into captivity?

Till this day, illorin has remained a Fulani emirate controlled from Sokoto and same history is about being repeated across the rest of the waste? Yet You're fixated on Igbos, shame!

ChebeNdigboCalm:


Finally to the allegations of trying to “use” AkwaCross people. People claim to have captured one or more parts of Igboland and it doesn’t make their ethnic group untrustworthy yet this is supposedly revealing some evil plan to take over AkwaCross people. Think about it.

ChebeNdigboCalm:


On this point. Benin is trying to create partnership with Anioma part of Igboland. But they warred against several parts of Aniomaland. And they are very proud of what they view as subjugation of the Anioma people. Now no one comes and reprimands them. Yoruba people did the same to Nupe. No warning that they are trying to take over Nupeland. Edit: And believe me backstabbing was a major feature of these “conquests”.

Now Igbo tries to make partnerships (that already exists) with AkwaCross and SOME Izon (who majorly slave raided surrounding settlements) and SOME Yoruba (who slave raided and subjugated their Dahomey relatives), tell them to look at what the Aro did in Arochukwu.

aribisala0:
Ijaws,Ikwerre,Igala Edo ,Efik Ibibio all raided and sold Eboes as slaves for centuries because the Eboes were relatively backward and less politically evolved. The Eboes never evolved a system of governance beyond the Umunna level and were scattered in many villages and hamlets.There was no Eboe town before colonization where they lived with non Eboes in their midst partly because of a reputation for cannibalism and general hostility to strangers

The fact that Ikwerres sold Eboes as slaves is one reason why they resent being called Eboes

ChebeNdigboCalm:


Really? Now if Igbo were that backward and easy to penetrate. Explain why:
1. The British found Igboland the hardest to colonise but didn’t break a sweat in Yorubaland, Hausaland, Nupeland and Ijaw land.
2. The place were the British found hardest to take over in the coast (Opobo) was founded by an Igbo man.
3. Afikpo made a very determined stand when described as never being in contact with any white people prior.

If Igbo towns were not diverse as people didn’t wanna live with them. Explain why:
1. A hausa servant of either Asaba or Onitsha was given to an English explorer as a guide.
2. Igala residents of Igbo towns were common.
3. Migration stories from Benin to Igboland exist yet you people interpret it as the origin story of people who received these travellers.
4. Arochukwu was a common pilgrimage destination.

But as least you acknowledge that some vulnerable clans were raided. But for you it isn’t a symbol of how evil these people are as it is for Igbo wrong doers but how “backwards” we are.

aribisala0:

How am I supposed to explain all these ABA MADE LIES?
Very unintelligent lies

Lying is what you do .

You just wake up and manufacture your own facts

Let us take just one

Place the British found hardest to take over = OPOBO
Where did you get this from??

Which Eboe man founded Opobo and when did he do that? What is the evidence for this Akpu inspired nonsense
Just like your Emeagwali and his GAGUT nonsense

All you folk are good at is LYING

Gerrouta here

with your silly childish stories

That s how one of you said Orji Uzor Kalu was so rich before he became governor and he had so much money the Central Bank of Nigeria BEGGED yes begged him to take his money elsewhere because they could not cope.

So he had to go to the World bank which only had space for HALF and he had to take the other half to the IMF

How does one even debate or dialogue with such clowns??

Akponmfet:
That's why we should never trust ndito uneghe,they're criminals and traitors who come to our states and pretend to sell spare parts in the afternoon but do armed robbery in the night.

ChebeNdigboCalm:


I have never insulted you an don’t intend to, you have insulted yourself here and now. You aren’t a historian. You are a sentimentalist.

Founder of Opobo is Jaja. He was an Igbo Slave born in Amaigbo, this is an undisputable fact. He was reknown because he was monopolising Niger Delta trade. He dominated the trade there more so than Calabar, Bonny etc. His resistance to British rule had to be stopped by kidnapping. Think about it, why didn’t they just waltz in like they normally do?

Now take another.

aribisala0:
No Founder of Opobo was Tinubu

Guy Gbafue I don't have time for stupid talk

Somebody that was taken to Opobo as a slave was the founder.

That can only make sense inside the FOUR CORNERS of an Eboe head

ChebeNdigboCalm:


You don’t know the history at all. He was taking to BONNY as a slave and got freed. Then founded Opobo. This is embarrassing for you.

aribisala0:
No Founder of Opobo was Tinubu

Guy Gbafue I don't have time for stupid talk

Somebody that was taken to Opobo as a slave was the founder.

I am not interested in that Opobo fiction or your revision attempts on Wikipedia

Just run along

ChebeNdigboCalm:


Explain the “actual history” of Opobo. I am waiting. And exactly who the founder is in detail. Then go to Opobo and declare it in front of the monument of Jaja with the same thing I am telling you written down.

aribisala0:
No that is just Eboe Aba made IPOB history

What does FOUNDED mean exactly?

Before Jaja No one lived in Opobo

Or Opobo is Eboe language
Or he said
let their be Opobo and there was Opobo

All this nonsense is derailing the thread and I am not interested

aribisala0:
Look at the title of this thread

Do you see Opobo there?

Why don't we discuss the history of Kuala Lumpur?

aribisala0:
No that is just Eboe Aba made IPOB history

Before Jaja No one lived in Opobo

ChebeNdigboCalm:


No you dont get to do this. You think calling Igbo people backwards is not derailing the thread yet talking actual history is!? Let us finish. Don’t run since I am so mistaken.

aribisala0:
This threa d is not about Opobo you quoted me to address my remarks which were not about Opobo . If you want to talk about Opobo create a thread so we can discuss the Eboe Wikpedia machine .
This thread is about..............remind your self
Yes you are correct NOT OPOBO

ChebeNdigboCalm:


Your remarks were not about “How Igbo crusaders captured Arochukwu”. Don’t be a hypocrite.
And I never referenced Wikipedia. Is that your excuse? Well it’s invalid.
You all of a sudden have a problem with derailing a thread? Wow. What a surprise.

This is how you talk. You reply with about 5 words then spend the rest making straw man fallacies. Arguments that I did not make are being attributed to me. Rebuttal on the actual things I wrote or quoted.

aribisala0:
OK

You sound as if you have internal quarrel

PressMyButton:
The throne still belongs to the dynasty of ibibio. Much of Aro has the foot print of the ibibio aborigines including the diety of Arochukwu, Ubini Ukpabi.
