The Origins Of The Word Yamri by NuclearWinter: 4:07pm On Aug 14, 2022 |
Yamri is a derogatory term used by northerners on Igbos. The word is a bastardization of the Igbo words : Ya miri, meaning "give me water" and owes its origins during the trans Saharan Arab slave trade period where Igbos formed the bulk of human commodities traded from the south to the north. It is more of a mockery term used to describe the Igbo who were constantly harassing his new slave owners transporting him to slave markets in the north for water to drink. The long arduous trek in harsh arid climate was not easy on most Igbo slaves and most perished on the long trek from their slave holders in Igala land to slave markets in places like Kano. Arab slave dealers refused to buy Igbo stock because they feared they would not survive the harsh Sahara deserts so they were priced on the cheap as a gamble . So there you have it. 4 Likes |

Vote for Peter Obi and your life will regain its meaning, avoid those trying to make the election into a tribal contest. There's no market specially built for bigots, we all will suffer for a wrong choice. 10 Likes 1 Share

So you guys actually made Igbo slaves?? If it is the other way round now, we know what you would've been saying |

4teenblaq: You have been everybody's slave until the British came to sanitize the place and you forgot your place. The Atlantic Slave trade was composed mainly of Igbo commodity. The Igbos in Equatorial Guinea are not indigenous to the area but were transported there by Portogese Marrano Jewish slavers who established plantation colonies there to cultivate palm fruits . 3 Likes |

Another example of the Igbo slave heritage can be found in the present day Ebonyi which is named after Ebonyi river. Ebonyi river was named by same Portogese Marrano Jewish slavers who in an attempt to bypass the middle men in the lower Niger, decided to venture deep into the slave territory of Igbo land to deal directly with the Igbo Arochukwu slave raiders that had no problem raiding Igbo villages for slaves. The word Ebonyi is from old Latin and translates to Ebony in Anglicised tongue. Ebonyi is the name used to describe a type of strong sturdy wood used in ship building which has a peculiar black color. If you have seen a cross section rendition of a typical Jewish ship and how the slaves were stacked side by side and atop each other in the hulls of the ship , you will understand why the demented Jewish slavers named the river Ebonyi. 1 Like |

To also show how the average Ipob dunce is ignorant of history , the name of their Zionist Utopia - Biafra also has a rich slavery history behind it. Biafra is the short hand form of writing Bight of Mafra . Just as one will use Isl in place of Island, Bi was used in place of Bight. The Bight of Mafra is the area now known as the Bight of Guinea. Mafra being a small Portogese slave rallying port in Cameroon which was named after a major Port in Portugal known for hosting Jewish slave expositions just like that in Liverpool, England. From Porto Novo in present day Togo, Lagos , Escravos and Forcados in Delta to Malabu, Sao Tome and Mafra, Portogese slavers named these port cities after their major cities and towns. So the very name of the short lived Igbo nation which they still intend on revisiting owes it's origins to Jewish slavers. Pathetic. And tomorrow they will say they are Jews not knowing that Jews profited immensely from their suffering. 1 Like |

Osu caste system: Discrimination and slavery in the 21st century It is only amongst the Igbo that a highly discriminatory caste system is still culturally in effect. The Osu caste system goes against all laws both that of God and man in which a set of people have been set aside as untouchables. Banned from holding any position of reverence in Igbo culture, the Osu is condemned to remain within his or her caste system and forbidden to marry outside it. This system is so revered in Igbo land that the first thing a prospective groom or bride will first ask his or her partners is if they are an Osu. Some grooms even go as far as going to the fiancé's village to make inquiries behind her back to confirm her status. Where it is proven that the bride or groom is of the OSU class the wedding is immediately called off and the relationship severed instantly . This Osu system comes from the slave history of Igbo heritage where they had no problem enslaving their own. At any excuse an individual and his entirely family may be enslaved over a minor infraction and from there sold off. If not sold they are banished from their clan which is also an automatic sentence to slavery as without the clan's protection , the banished family or individual is sure to fall into the hands of other Igbo village clans and summarily enslaved and then sold. The Osus are the remnants of these set aside and awaiting to be sold people . Note that the igbos stubbornly resisted British colonialism not out of any pride of being colonised but so as to preserve their lucrative slave industry and trade . Till this day slavery in one form or the other is still rampant in Igbo land. 1 Like |
