IGBOSON1:
Because Africa doesn't have the funds for these projects and the west were initially not interested in funding them, so China stepped in to fill the void! China has the cash and their endgame is influence and having a presence in Africa in their bid for world domination!

sounds nice but at what costs

Though ure not Igbo but ur obsession with Igbo is very weird

Thanks for the info

one minutes laugh for those who wasted their time money and efforts in the name of linking their sim to Nigeria government

blingxx:
But your tribe made widows drink from their husband corpses bah? ..stop discriminating ,an American or European might be viewing this thread right now and be "why do this African hate each other" no one be saint ,are you normal atall

every culture has its own good and bad side so keep calm

the only question that will choke Reno will be.
You said the freed Igbo slaves taken to Benin are still there can you name them out?
And also you said they now speak a complete new language what is their language called?

favor914:
You are correct, but when one tribe that were the slaves try to rewrite history & take dominance, no peace shall reign.

i don’t want to quote the op on his stupidity but your own stupidity caught my eyes,his right in what ways?,and who are the slaves trying to rewrite what history?

More like deceiving ourselves,I don’t like you and you don’t like me what else,we are not and will never be one

Born2Breed:
Reno has soft pedal. In his previous post, he was trying to attribute so much to the Itsekiris.

The Itsekiris were traders, they buy and sell to those in the hinterland, buying slaves and selling to the Portuguese is understandable but they NEVER fought a war and captured slaves, they were under the protection of the Benin Empire.

The Igbos were never a united kingdom, attacking and capturing them were as easy as picking stones from beans.

is the bolded so cause last I checked the geographical location of the Igbo is too dense for the bolded,even the Igbo that Lives near the borderline aren’t easy to capture,if Benin can go to war with small Agbor is it group like Nsukka or Izzi that lives in a more dense terrain they can go and kidnap someone to sell,anyway it’s a free world stupid assumptions are welcomed

Back toAfonja/Benin/Ijaw and nonentity ishekiri what says ya

KosiGee:
Ichi marks isn’t for people dedicated to any god.
‘Igbu Ichi’ was done by courageous and wealthy men at the time. It was purely a personal decision. It’s more like ichi ozo...not all Ozo title holders went for igbu ichi...I met a few people gbulu ichi as a child.

You’d have to be well prepared for it. If you read F.C. Ogbalu books, he narrated the process of Igbu ichi. It’s a celebration of bravery and accomplishment. On the day, there’s lots of cooking and feast...with different nmanwu. The man is held down by many able bodied men...anaesthesia isn’t used. Onye na egbu ichi comes with his aguba knife and delivers series of vertical lines across the man’s face and series of horizontal lines as well, then herbs are applied to the cuts...look at your periodic table without the symbols. Ichi was like that. Professionals try to avoid the areas around the eyes. Scabs around the canthus causes squints. Normally one or two lines run down the forehead down the nasion and ends on the bridge of the nose...majority of the ichi are done on the sides of the face.

yes that’s true

Is nri Igbo or not?
No dey shift post

I don't see the use of the emboldened
Except you want me to insult your lineage

Cheeks,forehead,back,nose doesn't matter

Tribal marks are tribal marks.

for a mark to be considered a tribal mark it should constitute at least 40 percent of the people,
Now go to Igbo villages(if u want I don’t mind taking you round my village we still have people who are over 80 to 100 years,if you show me one with a tribal mark,all the bill you accumulated here will be on me,but if you don’t want to stress yourself then why don’t you be open minded and ask why you see some old Igbo with facial mark on the internet and let us the Igbo explain,but it’s you Yoruba,Benin and a nonentity like Ishekiri that has now come to teach us our history nawa ooo

Lifestone:
You've drifted again. I said Tribal Marks is part of Igbo and their History, why are you denying that. Or are now in competition with the Yorubas.
It's hypocrisy to laugh at the Yorubas whereas you are into the same practice

dude you don’t even know what a tribal mark stands for,Let me just break it down to your level,Igbo don’t have tribal marks,we do have spiritual marks given to some few people because of circumstance like someone who is suspected to be an ogbanje or ichi mark are just spiritual we are not into scarification ones body,we have many more marks but it’s not something you are forced to do,most of them are being marked when the person have reached adulthood ,and these two marks are pretty much going extinct,I have never heard or seen where we mark for tribal or body beautification which is what tribal marks stands for, my brother who is deaf lives in Lagos(I know American Sign Language but due to,lack of any means in it to describe one’s Ethnicity you have to create one for easy communication) if he wants to describe an Hausa in our conversation he will simply use his finger to draw a line around his chin because that’s where Hausa like marking themselves automatically I know he his referring to Hausa People same applies to Yoruba,he indicates that my drawing a long line across his cheek,so don’t take it personally ok,we don’t have issues with us having a tribal mark in our history but u guys are making it look like a big deal and force it down our throats,both ichi(which I have never seen before) and ogbanje marks bearers are very very small to be considered a tribal mark,you and your stewpid Reno can choke on lies and propaganda

emonis88:
Now let me try to expanciate from my deduction on what Reno said. The Binis where slave traders n part of d business of slave trading was to go into d hinder land n kidnap as many people as possible n sell them as slaves. So I other words d Binis where great kidnappers then. So it was a business for them to kidnap people n sell them as slaves to make money.

if you believe that Benin ishekiri or whatever can go to Igbo hinterland kidnap someone and sell to some Portuguese peeps then u are a very big dunce,as for omokiri anyone can just wake up sha and spew trash sha na em mouth

Lifestone:
All this English on top of a clear evidence from your ancestors? Why are guys so ashamed of your pasts.

kindly show me 2 Igbo with tribal marks and I will show you 50 Yoruba and 50 Hausa with tribal marks if u can’t do that then shut the hell up

Lifestone:
I thought it's only Yorubas that has Tribal Marks!
So the Igbo too has Lion marks, lol
Know your history before laughing at others

dont be ignorant the so called Igbo tribal mark is a false assumption,Igbo have two types of facial marks,Ichi and ogbanje facial marks(now understand this,you don’t get these marks when you are born so it’s not tribal mark,tribal marks is for tribal decor,now ichi mark are meant for people who are dedicated to a god while on the other hand ogbanji marks are for those who are suspected to be a spirit child,in a nutshell these are spiritual marks.

Nna is this not obvious madness
