odumchi: Aro Confederacy.

odumchi: Aro Confederacy.

Odenigbo Aroli:

You mean the same Confederacy that thrived in the evil act of human hunting and selling? ??

ChinenyeN:
Maybe in this other timeline, we would have better foreign relations.

odumchi: If you're talking about the same Aro Confederacy that brought unprecedented political stability and mass economic activity to the eastern Nigerian region, cunningly established itself as a powerful force and power broker in eastern Nigeria, facilitated the cultural exchange between the groups of the Cross-River region and the Igbo, and gave spawn to fearless individuals like Okoli Oti (who is rumored to be the founder of Umuoji: meaning, technically, you might be an Aro yourself), Izuogu Mgbokpo (the father of Arondizuogu) and many other brave pioneers and warriors, then yes, that's the one.

M vukari Aro na anya.

odumchi: Ha! Perhaps so, my friend! I can already imagine it: the Aro, Ngwa, and their allies combining forces to squash the Europeans. I can already see the newspaper headlines in London: "British Expeditionary Force forced to abandon West Africa, England recognizes the Ibo Confederacy as an independent nation. England seeks peace talks in Accra."

odumchi: Oh, and for the first time, I can understand your signature! Praise be to Jesu!

ChinenyeN:
Announcer 1: And and excellent counter play by the Aro Son of Soil himself.
Announcer 2: Oughtta give Odenigbo a thing or two to think about, that's for sure.


Hhaaha aside from "Ibo Confederacy" & "independent nation", I can comfortably agree with how this timeline has played out.


Ochi lei. I chogha madhu l'igbu? So what do you understand from it?

Odenigbo Aroli:
At Nwa Ngwa, as you can see, I am aware of that Aro conjucture. I dont know where the heck the story arose from but there is absolutely nothing to prove an Aro connection nor influence in all of Umu Okodu clans. Like I said before,we have Aro settlers in a village called Umuobia but they have acculturated into the Nri culture and the are the ones that brings the "AKWUNECHENYI" masqurade to the "Uzo Iyi" festivals. Moreover,Umuoji itself is bigger than Aro with 23 villages. So,there is absolutely nothing to think about,Ngwa hwem.

Odenigbo Aroli: Umuoji itself is bigger than Aro with 23 villages.

Odenigbo Aroli: Well Odumchi,the exploits of ndi Aro in the days of human selling isnt in doubt rather what irritates me is the means with which they achieved their aim...You said "significance". Significant in what ? Where did they get the money used in running their human selling confederacy? They got it from invading,kidnapping and selling their fellow Igbos! It was because of Aro that ISU went into ruins! Tell me one good thing that Aro brought to Igbo land other than human hunting and selling...I know some of Aro guys that think they are incredible because Aros were seen as warrior but they werent fighting a just course and I always ask them what good was Aro to Igbo land. I dont think you should be fantacizing about the confederacy because it brought a lot of pains to the Igbos and Africa. I wish that confederacy was never formed !!

Odenigbo Aroli: BIAFRA !!

odumchi: Lol. You're funny .
I interpreted your signature as: "Ngwa: the motherland of the Ikwere".

odumchi: Open a thread about this and I'll happily discuss it with you. Let's not derail this thread.

ChinenyeN:
Loolll not quite. My signature is saying "Ngwam :: native son dey hail/greet"

TerryCarr: Brazil or Madagascar

Ptolomeus:
It's the same ...

TerryCarr: what??

shymmex: In the stone age mama Africa, when people used to walk around n.aked...

That would have be fun with big and small ti.ts everywhere to suck.
