Thank you for your feedback. Your narrative is not factual. The Igbos were vulnerable to Bini, Ijaw and other ethnicities because they were not united under one king. And so these small but more united ethnicities were able to raid Igbo villages, and the next Igbo village would not help them. In fact, it is even likely that the nearby Igbo village would be at war with the village next door being attacked. The pre-colonial Igbos lived in autonomous villages. They had no central kings until the British imposed warrant chiefs on them. This made it easy to divide and conquer them village by village.

It is even silly to say the Ijaws did not have the capacity to wage war against Igbo villages. The Itsekiris, Ijaws and Binis waged war against the British.

Nana Olomu, for instance, fought a war with the British. He had warriors in boats that killed White Europeans with guns. If he could do that, then why would he not be able to raid an Igbo village?

The Binis, Itsekiris and Ijaws had central authority. The entire ethnic group could gather at a single location on the summons of just one man. We would all kneel for one man. And we would all go to war at the word of one man.

Why do you think there are so many Igbo-speaking sub-ethnic groups around Binis, Itsekiris and Ijaws? These ethnicities are the ones the British forced us to release when they banned the trade of enslaved people.

I don't want to mention names. But look at the immediate neighbours of the Bini, Itsekiri, and Ijaw. They speak Igbo but are not accepted as Igbos by the mainstream Igbos. Ask yourself why?

Some of the names of these sub-Igbo tribes are either Bini, Itsekiri or Ijaw names. Even if you look at the titles that the traditional rulers of those sub Igbo ethnicities bear, they are similar to Bini, Itsekiri or Ijaw titles.

Many of these people will tell you they are not Igbo, but their language is Igbo. Ask yourself how they got to where they are today.

Look, history is not always pleasant. We have surviving photos that we cannot even publish because if we post them, maybe it can lead to war in Nigeria. Please, let us just let sleeping dogs lie!

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

Better to be enslave than for a progenitor to fal from heaven

Think everyone know the book of Isaiah in the Bible

God bless Nigerians

Beerfraud pretending that he is not reno brings us today episodes of reno responds to a tweet. The job seeker abi table shaker talks about sub lgbo groups in ijaw and benin but could not mention one of such group. He talks about one obscure character nana oluomo that killed whites with guns. Abeg which guns, the one with bullets or powder

History is useless.

Nigeria must abolish history, french, music, home economics, religious studies, and replace with manufacturing.

He spoke well..

Igbo nah one small ethnic group right from back in the days. They had no king or whatsoever, just like Reno said..

But I don’t think binis, ijaws couldn’t enslave Igbos cuz they were not united. I believe it cuz they saw them as people with no or less resources. During slave trade, slaves with no resources, slaves from stagnant enclave don’t usually worth much!

So, to me, it’s more of even if we enslave them, what’s there to make off them?..

Re: Bini And Ijaw Were Able To Enslave Igbo Because They Were Not United - Omokri by gidgiddy: 2:51pm On Jul 07, 2023
Reno is right about Igbos not having kings or a central king. Igbos simply dont do kings and empires. Very few Igbo communities such as Onitsha and Nnewi had kings. Back in the olden days, rather than have kings, Igbos had what is generally known as the "Okpala/Okpara" system where the oldest people in the village, also known as "Ndi -Ichie" would deliberate on matters concerning the village and everyone in the community would vote on it. The most senior member of Ndi-Ichie, the "Okpala/Okpara/Opara" would preside, but he was no king

It was after the British came that they introduced kingship and appointed many of the "Okpala/Okpara" as warrant chiefs

As for Reno saying that mainstream Igbos say that the the Igbos around Edos and Itsekiri( sometimes known as Delta Igbos" are denied by Igbos, gone are those days, if it ever existed

Sunday Oliseh, a Delta Igbo, denied being Igbo and was roasted alive by his brothers across the Niger. Harrison Gwamnishu embraced being Igbo and his sister across the Niger bought him a brand new car the next day

That tells you a lot
