Is the post on powerful tribes today or powerful tribes based on history?

The oyo empire was one of the largest in history. Even today, they remain one of the most homogeneous societies with minor differences

Story story... Story
If you guys are brave, confront the Fulani that blocked your borders and are in charge of your ports like Ndigbo are doing

OsuAmaka:
If Igalas catch dis guy, dem go flog you silly. Even the coastal chiefs and the Calabar neighbors saw ibos as inferior beings from the interior and sold you off as slaves.

-Osu amaka

Story story....... Story. Once upon a time
No trace of it in Igboland

LordVoldermort:
Fulani attack people in their sleep? Is it their fault or their lazy enemies's for falling asleep?

The vast majority of soldiers in Nigeria since the days of the British have always been majorly Hausa it seems they are the ones doing the subduing

Hausa exist only in Language and this thread is not about linguistic.
Hausa lives under a Muslim Emirate setting, is Hausa one of the emirs?
This is an injustice to self preservation and if they are brave, they would have challenged it. Until they do that, they are not brave at all. Bravery is far from them

TheFacelessMan:
Yes ooo..

The 3 most famous leaders of Igboland,

Zik, Ojukwu and Kanu all ran away in their wives' gowns after chestbeating.

That's the required standard for bravery for Ndigbo

Bravery is when you stand up against huge odds.
Ndigbo did it in 1967 against Britain and USSR and they are doing it today.
That you are hearing about Biafra today despite losing more than 3 million in 1970 is the highest form of bravery in the market

LordVoldermort:
Fulani or Hausa should be Number 1

Fulani attack people in their sleep. Hausa has been subdued by Fulani for the past 200 years.
Hope you now know why they didn't make number 1.
Hausa can't even make first 50

bahdpersona:
OP just stated his opinion without backing it up.... could you please tell us what makes the listed tribes powerful or why did you said they're powerful and brave.... you need to back up your claims

Look around you, you'll see why.
I can't vouch for Igalas though.
Igbo have both pre colonial and post colonial history. Have never been conquered, no visible trace of being subdued by fellow Africans. Dragged with the British colonialists for 28 solid years in the Battle field before colonialisation (longest for any African), the revolts for slaves of Igbo origin (Igbo landing and the Maroons). Post Colonial, they dragged the Western Super powers (Britain and USSR) for 3 straight years in the battle field.
Presently, they have IPOB, ESN and UGM to vouch for them.
Kanuri has their history. Pre colonial, they defeated the Fulani forces clean. Post colonial, they have Boko Haram to vouch for them.
Fulani pre colonial Caliphate vouch for them, subdued more than half of the Northern tribes which include the entire Hausa, Jukun, Nupe, Gwari, Etsako in present Edo, Ilorin of Yoruba etc. Post colonial, they have ISWAP, Bandits and Herdsmen to vouch for them
Bini have only stories. Even Ijaw is kicking their ass at the moment. But nevertheless, the British met a stable Benin Kingdom with minor external influence, that showed proof of power. The way they received the colonialists showed bravery although it didn't last long

ivandragon:
I think the Yorubas should be mentioned.

They fought quite a number of wars from which they emerged victorious...

In stories or should I say folktales.
What is happening in Nigeria currently will tell you those that are brave

StagethemTVee:
When UGM has no police to show pepper to again, they will turn on to you the indigenes. Keep celebrating own goals.

Since when did you people who are known igbo haters started having the interest of Igbo nation at heart?
Like they said, when your enemy gives you advice, do the opposite.
Do you know what living under those Barricades were like?

BSsniffer:
No, we don't need that kind of balls.....mnk needs balls to come back home and lead from the front, that's what men with balls do. Under a month less than 2 esn commanders dead and scores of igbos.

Only 2 ESN commanders, one was confirmed by IPOB but you added additional one because you wished.
How many soldiers/police did your military said paid for it? 78
Coming to your MNK returning to which ever home, when did commanders turn to foot soldiers?
You don't teach a nation the strategy to use in their warfare when they are winning

Lol.
Fulani people flogged the shit out of a Yoruba Oba.

viyon02:
Nice move, we need replicate of this in the south west also.

Your people need to have balls to replicate this

New group
"Mysterious Fire Men"

obiekunie01:
wicked soul!

You want fulani to be using them for target practice every morning!

Since they like Nigeria that much, they should stay put and enjoy it.
After leaving, our next mission is to help the Government of Nigeria keep, tight and seal whatever remains with them as one indivisible entity. That will be their last favour that we will be pleased to oblige

this right up na wa!

Na primary school 'cerfiticate' holder write am??



Anyways - the honest fact is, if igbos leave every other region will go their ways too.

Akụkọ.
All other regions better stay put and find a way to make their Nigeria work.
In fact I will campaign for it after our exit.
We are not leaving Nigeria for it to collapse, we are not like that wicked employee that wishes for her previous company to collapse because she resigned.
I will advise all the ethic groups in Nigeria, the Yorubas, Tiv, Hausa, fulani etc to find a way and come together, put aside their differences and make Nigeria work. They should stop tribalism and ethnocentrism so that their country can move forward.
I will like my grand Children to meet and see Nigeria so that I can tell them "you see that failure of a country? Their backwardness was why we left"

So Yorubas, Hausa, Fulani, Ijaw, Bini, Tiv, Igala etc that read this comment should try and prove is wrong, that they can make Nigeria work without us. They should stay and build this nation to retain her status as the Giant of Africa after we leave.
Goodluck and God bless their Nigeria
All hail Biafra

Not before we are through with you people and your Nigeria.
Ndi ara
You people haven't seen anything yet

The earlier you people accept that Nigeria is not ONE the better for all of you

adedehinbo:
what if their request is not granted,even if they have to use the port,they surely won't be doing that for free and surely they would need a passport to come here

It will be extremely difficult not to be granted unless they separate in irreconcilable terms ie through violence.
On a peaceful way they will claim to be accustomed to having a port for a century plus and UN will look into it and grant them shared right like they did to South Sudans oil fields which is shared between Sudan and South Sudan.
That is why I said that Yorubas made a big mistake to allow their port be the only functioning port in Nigeria.
I think the Northerners knew about all these things. I think they know what they were doing decades ago

Gbagura:
Common sense would tell you what you just post is utter nonsense. I tell you what, Fulanis won't near our ports post-buhari. You're only trying to sound woke and intelligent but you're not. Leave Yoruba to our problems. What's y'all nyanmiris business with Yoruba sef? Speak for yourself who will miss your darling Lagos when everything don scatter.

Was I advising you people?
Your lose, my gain.
Your port will be tabled at the UN as an accustomed property not mine.
We will support it as a collective accustomed property but will like Arewa take our own shared right.
Simple stuff. Do I look like you peoples friend?

I don't know if Benue people are chicken sha because this is beginning to look like harvest, livestock harvest than attacks

They are now hunting Afonja hunters.
Sorry my dear friends I'm against this Afonja hunt.
Good Morning Yorubas

Devilish Terrorist sympathising Britain, we don't want your asylum.
You want to take away the nationalists (IPOB) that is fighting for the right of the ordinary man with their lives.
Instead take away the self acclaimed educated Nigerians, especially those Efulefu from Igbo extraction. Give them asylum let IPOB work for the common man in peace

Lol. Truly, the greatest enemy of a Yoruba man is his fellow Yoruba man

FreeIgbos:
And from the looks of it, they're not ready to let go. Those Lagos ports is likely to be in their hands till thy kingdom come and that's why some smart Yorubas are now struggling to break free from Nigeria now that Biafra is looking like a possibility.

The prospects of remaining in Nigeria without Igbos is a horrible nightmare scenario to them

Even if the Yorubas manage to break away, UN will grant Arewanistan some privileges to use their port till thy kingdom comes. They will negotiate with existing facilities which as God has it SE and Ndigbo have none.
Remember Ethiopia and Eritrea. You don't leave a union like this so that the other part will suffer and be cut from what they are accustomed to.
The Yoruba made a big mistake in 1967
