are wrong. It was after the war, the igbos were begging the Nigerian soldiers for water
there’s was no historical evidence of that happening Biafran even rejected food supplies by the Nigerian government as far as history is concerned

The Hausa observed the eating habits of the igbos . Eating heavy food like akpu and such with little water taken during meals..

This is what the Yoruba mean by “Ajokuta mamumi “ one that eats (heavy food) stone without water.

Every tribe also call Hausa people mallam or aboki but Mallam = teacher, Aboki = my friend.

Yeah sure
Its actually a compliment and not meant to be derogatory in any form

Another appellation is "Omo Nna"
Nna's child
I can't explain this

For the “Omo nna” since Ibo folks call them selves Nna men when having a conversation, we pick it up and call them Omo nna… there’s nothing derogatory about that too for sure.

look at an average Igbo man even Igbo women to an extent they are of different stock, they have more muscle mass than let’s Hausa or Yoruba, Hausas tend to be lanky and skinny while Yoruba tends to be boggy and huge but lacks fiber and muscle,being big isn’t good enough when you don’t have muscles and it all comes down to their indigenous diets..
Sorry I know it hurts u to accept the truth but that’s the truth.
you are very delusional, you just wrote a whole bunch of nonsense.
