You are a real woman.
Your voice has powers that has shaken the world...
Even nairaland is seriously on war
Cos of ur divine inspired words.
The evils of their fathers will forever haunt them down
Even up to their third generation.

The Igbo People And Their Quest For Freedom: A Critical Reflection On The Ekumeku War(1883 – 1914)
opinionnigeria.comSep 9, 2022 7:42 AM
The war raged on, till 1914, when the Ekumeku movement was defeated. That was the same year, the Northern and Southern protectorates of Nigeria were joined as one country.

Historically, the resolutions of the Berlin conference of 1884-1885, gave the European nations the rights to lay claim to the lands and resources in Africa.
Britain, who had engaged in the trade with coastal cities before and during the 19th century, made bold their intentions to covet resources and rule over indigenous nations all over Africa. Tribes resisted the British invaders, and this led to protracted wars. Many African tribes put up a great fight against the superior fire power of the suppressive British. One of such tribes are the Igbo people of the South East Nigeria.


The Ekuemeku Movement was the name of Anioma warriors, that held the British at bay and fought them for 31 years, from 1883-1914.

The reason was to prevent the British from entering not only in Anioma land but also in Igbo land in general. They defended the Igbo People’s rights to live peacefully without foreign interjection. According to information, the British first invaded Ndoni in 1870 and bombarded Onicha-Ado (Onicha) on November 2nd, 1897, from River Niger and then engaged the Anioma people of Ibusa in 1898. While the war continues, some British besieged Arochukwu, which was the centre of the Aro Confederacy on November 1901 and destroy the Aro Kingdom in 1902. On November 16th, 1902, a British man, known as J.F. Stewart, riding his bicycle arrived in Ahiara was killed by the Community(Ahiara) warriors. The British man’s bike and skin colour was something the Ahiara People had never seen before, and killed him in fear and confusion of who and what he was. This incident sparked an investigation and search from British forces, who killed many People from Ahiara Community(in the present Mbaise LGA) in reprisal of Stewart’s death. Between 1904 to 1906 the people of Owa/Okwunzu, fall out with the British and many casualties were recorded, though the People of Owa killed one of the British commanders, S. O. Crewe.

The People of Ogwashi-Ukwu faced the British on the 2nd of November 1909, and dealt a heavy blow to the British, who sustained many casualties. With the death of another British Captain H. C. Chapman, the Ekumeku Movement became a formidable force in Igbo land and was a great source of nationalism for the Anioma people. The war would have lasted longer, and possibly ended in a British defeat, if the Anioma people had equivalent fire power, and had more allies from other great Igbo kingdoms and towns. But even at that point, other tribes were facing the British on their own.


The war raged on, till 1914, when the Ekumeku movement was defeated. That was the same year, the Northern and Southern protectorates of Nigeria were joined as one country.

Till today, The Ekumeku war remains one of most bravely fought wars and campaign against British rule not only in Nigeria but in Africa in general.

The Ekumeku and indeed the Igbo community, have long been defeated, but no matter how far we travel in time, history always remembers that a brave tribe defended their ancestry, heritage and legacy against the tyranny of Wilberforce.

As predicted this whole Uju drama was carefully orchestrated and pushed by Jeff Bezzos to bring about a debate towards ending the monarchy.

Our osus that readily sold their own and up till this moment rigidly enforce the OSU slave caste system in their God forsaken heathen lands are the ones now championing antislavery ?

You see why I have always called these people slaves of Judas.

You are blaming the Queen for your self induced enslavement?

Why then is the remnant of the slave era in the form of the Igbo OSU caste system still rigidly enforced in your blighted slave province?

Can you deny that the OSU caste system was set up solely to meet demand for slaves by your Igbo slavers who had no problem selling their own into slavery ?

The Bini and Igala kingdoms placed a human tax on the Igbo provinces which they were meant to supply at a set future date.

The Bini used the Igbo tribute as domestic slaves, human sacrifices or passed them off to be sold in exchange for goods .

The Igala simply sold them to Fulani and Arab slavers .

It is this tribute yoke that saw to the Igbo haphazard society setting up a caste system as a ready store of human tribute.

To provide much stock to meet set tributes and dates, every conceivable wrong doing both imaginary or real was used to get the coffers of human stock reached.

Failing to reach the set tribute saw to the Bini and Igala sending warriors to sack Igbo settlements.

Rather than be sacked, Igbo settlements will either resort to capturing other igbos from neighboring communities to meet their quota or resort to declaring one of theirs an Osu .

Of course, enemies and those coveting some one else's land or woman will set their fellow brethren up to be declared an Osu and from there take hold of their properties and women.

This system became so ingrained in Igbo society that a professional band of OSU hunters came to be. The Arochukwu not only raided directly for slaves but also rounded up Osus to be forwarded .

The situation got so terrible owing to the advent of the Jewish soave trade that demand for slaves increased dramatically to which the Arochukwu slavers increased their slave raiding to meet demand.

The incessant slave raiding saw to a near collapse of Igbo society as normal human life was near impossible. Entire villages and settlements were raided for slaves which saw
to an acute shortage of food owing to no more farming. This famine led to Igbo cannibalism


So we can see that the Igbo slave raiding enterprise led to both the OSU caste system still practiced till this day and the notorious Igbo cannibalistic behaviour.

And all these only came about owing to the lack of a central authority and unity among the Igbos for if they had such in place they won't have been subjugated to the tribute demands of the Bini Empire and the Igala kingdom.

Those who rant nonsense and stupidly against Ujunwa and igbos, are those who sees the igbos as great threat and feel while the igbos are down, they are on top. But the irony is that these debased people can't withstand and bear what the igbos have gone through if the table is turned... they are just losers and weakies
