Wow ! I thought you were joking until I checked it up and found out it was a scientific fact, Jesus!

Addition of palm oil before flying the Garri reduces the cyanide content significantly!

How did our parents know this without going to school or carrying out any experiment?

Impressive stuff!

I don't say things for the sake of talking, and I joke with Igbo history and accomplishments.

The whites are now trying to make the discovery look like accident, but they forgot that they never told our ancestors that Garri was toxic.

Our ancestors discovered it was toxic by themselves and as far as I, Ndigbo and reasonable black Africans are concerned, after series of experiments discovered the cure which it palm oil. The whites after seeing a black race (Ndigbo) discover what they couldn't are trying to suppress the achievement.

The whites don't eat Garri because of it, but when it got to the Great Ndigbo, we cured the poison.

To them, their own is discoveries but when black do his own it will be considered an accident. Ndị ara

and our Ejor friends, you are invited to view this
Perekule and Foubra happened much later.

Straight to the spot.
Nice one

Wulfruna:
You clearly haven't travelled much. Packaged Ijebu garri are on shelves in UK stores.

I am not here to argue to and fro, after all I won't be the one to go blind.
Don't disturb me.
Infact avoid me

Igbo Amaka there

KoshCAD:
Lol, insult other garri. Which garri, you mean your garri hahahahaha.

Igbo garri displacing others hahahahaha, in your dream right.

Go to UK, US and see how ijebu garri is trending.

Your brothers that knows the truth can testify.

My friends that we served together from east, south and north don't joke with the garri when I bring it. They come come and collect, so i always add their mouth to it whenever i am ordering it.

Your garri that you will pour and white dust will be coming out of it. Is that one garri or poison.

Ijebu Garri outside Nigeria? you are the Funniest ignoramus I have seen this year.

Until Ijebu Garri is cured from Cyanogenic glycoside which is in Cassava itself , it can never meet the international nutritional standards and as such will be continued to be considered as poison over seas. Any Ijebu Garri you see outside SW is smuggled without the authorities of the regulatory agencies to be consumed by ignorant Yorubas alone.

You can never see anybody selling Ijebu Garri in SE. If any try, he will be arrested

Ijebu Garri is poison because of its high cyanide content. The only way to remove those Cyanogenic Glycoside is by using what we use that turns it to yellow Garri. I won't tell what it is you so that you lots will keep on looking sick and systematically continue to lose sight (blind) as a result of Cyanogenic glycoside accumulation in your eye lenses.

Comparing your poison with our actual food is an insult only ignoramuses make.

Nedu05:
This is arguably the most beautiful and standard international airport in international . Abuja and Lagos international airports are just slightly above

That is if they leave it like that.
There is something called "working on your strong points". If Anambra Airport capitalise on their strong points and maintain the basics, she will edge out Lagos and Abuja.

The same can be said for the stadium. Had it been they made it only football stadium, they would have edged out all the stadiums in not just Nigeria but the entire west Africa. It will become the first choice for football in West Africa because she will be the only stadium designed for just football in the entire West Africa.

Anyways, the did has been done. On the bright side the stadium is small and looks like it will be easily maintained, so it is up to the state Government not to allow such manageable piece to ruin in their care.
But there is still a window to make the football only stadium a reality.

These are simple things that you do to edge out competitors. Working on your strong points and maintaining the basics.

This is Nigeria where a 47 year old woman is expecting a baby out of the blue.

May be she went for IVF

According to Yoruba media, this place that you are looking at is safer than SE.

This is why I ask God to make SW to be as safe as this place that their media is hyping.

Amen..

Hizzy:
Na you create thread na you quote your self
Proudly EZZA Man

You know him.
He has been hovering around social media for the past decade looking for ways to pit Ndigbo against each other.

The purpose of the thread is to create an online ring for Effium and Ezza to fight each other for their pleasure.

Check the history of the OP. He has been labelling every bad thing that happened in the world as the doing of IPOB

KoshCAD:
Lol, now I know you don't know what you are saying.

Comparing your garri to ijebu garri is the most stupid thing one can do.

Your garri has no taste, it floats when put in cold or hot water. That is just the fact. When my brother was in PH, I always wonder why he kept ordering for garri from home, not until I went there and garri finished, I wanted to drink went to buy small, it was then I realised why he said he doesn't buy garri over there that he prefers to spend double money on bringing it from home.

I had to pour the garri away that day and didn't take any until another garri from home arrived the third day.

LOL. You now insult other Garri with the features of your own. That proves that yours is the worst.

The only Garri that floats in Nigeria is Ijebu Garri

As a business man, the only way you can know a better product is from customers review, that is the one that displaces the other in market.

In all markets you will see Igbo Garri displacing others, even in Ijebu herself, Igbo Garri beats her own even though Ijebu Garri have home advantage but you can never see Ijebu Garri in Igbo markets across Igboland. The few Yoruba people that want it have to smuggle it from Yorubaland because it is bad market in East due to its low quality

Look at the meeting of all Anti-Igbo propagandists.

We've passed this level, you Nigerians can put in more work.

Whenever you see MelesZenawi aka Juluismalama, Myopicmods and Dubailandlord in a thread, just put on your Igbo shield because it is going to be an attack.

Vintagepipes:
Joined the party late. You are correct. Let me add my 2 pence. Did anyone archive the other Bonny thread one of you created as well? I dug a lil into some of the history books dropped there as well.

Thanks.
Your shot confirms what I've been telling them since.
Ancient Igboland prior to European influence was the hallmark of democracy where power was reduced to the lowest form. A feat USA is still trying to achieve.

Now all we need to do, is to embrace, modernise it to our contemporary taste and cherish it.

Christistruth00:
Not in Nigeria

The Brazilian Slaves brought it as part of their diet

Portuguese don’t eat fufu and Eba

Moinmoin and Akara are normally made with Grounded beans but in Yorubaland there is a Cassava version of both

You asked for other foods Yoruba make with Cassava and I told you

I will have to stop you right there. Even till date you Yorubas don't know how to make Garri for swallow and your Garri (most notably Ijebu Garri) can't soak if introduced to water. It floats if you put it after adding water.

This explains the superiority in our creativity. Igbo Garri soaks any how you put it. Igbo owns Yellow Garri. Igbo Garri for swallow is still the best both in nutrients and texture.

Now that's aside, my dear stop fooling yourself moi moi and akara are made from beans, anything made like them that is not from beans will have another name.

In conclusion, You Yorubas couldn't and did not develop anything from cassava after 500 years that it was introduced to you.

Next topic

Christistruth00:
The Christians had the Traditional rulers Permission and had local escorts

Hahahahaha. Yoruba people sef.
We are a perfect Republic, Ndigbo don't do traditional rulers.

Just stop looking for ways to justify your stupidity

Christistruth00:
It was Christianity that Civilised Igboland any Stranger that went beyond Onitsha before then was likely to become Somebody’s dinner

Even in Onitsha it was the Benin Influences that prevented that from happening

And the Christians were irons that they didn't become someone's dinner?

Do you now realise how stupid you sound?

Now from what you said, I believe you've realised why your people were unable to develop anything from cassava for 500 years. It is because you people are mentally handicapped.

Christistruth00:
The Portuguese don’t eat Fufu or Garri that the Slaves ate it was Yoruba Slaves that brought all that when they returned home from Brazil


Do you know Lafun
Yoruba even use Cassava to make Akara and Moinmoin

Cassava was introduced in 16th century my dear.
Besides, most slaves (more than 50%) of slaves in Brazil are from Angola and Congo
And returned slaves are more pronounced in Liberia and Sierra leone than any other west African country.

Let me educate you, Akara and Moi Moi are made from mashed beans not Cassava.

So what have you Yorubas made out of cassava since 500 years it was introduced to you people?

Ndigbo made Akpụ, Abacha, kokoro etc from it so what have you people made out of it?

Christistruth00:
The Yoruba Blacksmiths who were ex Brazilian Slaves Started Arriving in the 1840s

So you Yorubas owe your history to returned slaves from Brazil who learnt a little of Portuguese and native Indians ways.
This speaks volumes of our difference in civilisation. But so that you know, Ndigbo have already started civilising Yorubas before slavery started.

engrchykae:
let me shock you.
The Yoruba was conquered by the "missionary"

I won't call British intrusion into Yoruba land as conquering but saving Yoruba people from wiping themselves out.

When Britain arrived at Yorubaland, they were in the middle of a serious civil war they call "kiriji war', so Britain saved them instead of conquering them.

It was saving not conquering

Christistruth00:
In your Dreams

Akpu ( Fufu) and Garri were both brought too you
They were both a staple diet initially eaten by Yoruba ex Slaves from Brazil
and Popular in Yorubaland
you were even shown how to soak Garri in Water

That doesn’t mean Mr Okafor was not a very good Blacksmith

Apparently, there is two types of Abacha, one is soaked in water while the other is done in a special garnish form.

So, I don't have time to argue the obvious truth that you people don't think. Cassava was introduced before slavery, in the sixteenth(16th) century

Answer me this simple question.
What have Yoruba people developed from cassava after 500 years plus since it was introduced to them?

I will help you with the answer, Nothing

Christistruth00:
When God used Bishop Ajayi Crowther to take Cassava and Garri to the East

Garri became an instant Smash hit and SuperStar

They Loved it
They are still fighting each other over their share of Garri and Akpu almost 200 years later

I want you to understand something.

Cassava was introduced to Ndigbo and Yoruba people the same year.

Now look at both of us.
Ndigbo have used the cassava given to them to develop "Abacha, Garri, kokoro, akpụ for swallow etc and in the Biafran war brewed Beer from it.
But you, almost 500 years since it was introduced to you yorubas you have not developed anything from it apart copying Igbo garri that till now you haven't learnt from us how to make it yellow to reduce the toxicity of it.

Instead of hating, if you Yorubas calm down you would learn alot of science and Innovation from Ndigbo.

Christistruth00:
We Sent them Christianity with Bishop Ajayi Crowther and they Sent us Masquerades with their local devils in return


Jesus Christ have Mercy on us all

We gave you science and Innovation.
Did you bother to read the thread at all?

You just jumped in and started rumbling about how you helped white people to spread the chain of religion.

Please go back and read the article before you embarrass yourself further.

mancoconut:
Are you aware Aro warriors and powerful traditional medicine-men also helped our Western Igbo brothers during their Ekumeku resistance against the British? a friend and historian from Ibusa actually told me this...the Aro influence across Igboland was MASSIVE.

Apparently, Aro-Anglo war happened 18 years into Ekumeku and Ekumeku continued for additional 12 years after it.

That is Ekumeku (1883) was already on for 18 years before Aro-Anglo war (1901) and after the Aro-Anglo war it still continued after a brief interruption for additional 13 years (1914).

So if we are looking for who influenced the other, the answer will be Ekumeku because it is 18 solid years older and active before Aro-Anglo war.

Mehn those our Western Igbo brothers are one hell of a stubborn group.

bomb24:
There were about 2000 plus British soldiers who took part in the expedition. The resistance put up by The Aros was a fierce one.

It was more than that if you include reinforcements. They continue to narrow it down so they settled for this number.

But anyhow they put it, if you look at the number you will notice that Aro took out more than half of the soldiers.
So they understood that they were dealing with civilised people unlike in Bini where they marched unchallenged, massacred and burnt down houses only to turn around and glorify them in bid to downplay those that stood up to them so that there won't be any repetition.

Imagine if Ndigbo grew up learning these histories, knowing how courageous their ancestors were, do you think that we will tolerate nonsense from anybody?
This is why Britain glorified those that made it easy for them, people like Bini and The Caliphate.

You won't see Britain glorify Igbo because they don't want to motivate others to oppose them.

peleson1:
I am from Opobo...we are ibani ijaw people..
You people are irritating me already with this land grabbing...
Just stop this nonsense ..
You people are causing enemies for yourselves
We are ijaws.our heritage is ijaw

I am also from Opobo and we are Igbo.
No man born of a woman can make us throw away our mother tongue for his.

Even Britain didn't force people in Nigeria to throw away their mother tongue for English, so who is Ijaw to force us ụmụ Opobo to throw away our Igbo language?

Ijaw's cultural genocide campaign on us starts and ends in Facebook.

KillIgbohoN0W:
Wow
So Igbos transformed Afonjaland and took them away from their primitive ways with mind-blowing inventions.

Until lions tell their story, the tales of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.

Now let me shock you. Do you know that the Anglo-Aro war in Igboland cost Britain more resources, time and soldiers than what they call Bini Empire?

1. Aro expedition took 5 months while Bini took 9 days.

2. Aro expedition was fought on more than 10 fronts with major battles numbering 7, while Bini was two massacres, one was deliberate while the second was as a punishment.

3. Arọ shocked Britain by digging trenches to evade bullets while Bini didn't show any invention.

4. Arọ expedition cost Britain advanced weapons and manpower numbering 1,550 soldiers of which at least 700 died while the Bini expedition cost Britain 1,200 soldiers no mortar or advanced weaponry and barely recorded any casualty.

Now, answer me one question, between Aro and Bini, who is qualified to call herself an Empire?

If one conducts thorough research, he will realise that ancient Ndigbo were moving around civilising alot of nations in Africa and Yoruba people were not left out.

OfoIgbo:
What really matters most to me is that Baikie confirmed that the inhabitants of Ubani claim Igbo ancestry.

So even if Ubani people use Hausa in their counting,. It would still have a major stake there.

Of course, it helps that they now count in Igbo, thus unifying their present reality with their ancestral reality

That's it.
In conclusion, all articles presented by both Igbo nationalists and Ijaw scavengers confirmed that Bonny is Igbo.

Even the German doctor's view that they always shout about because many people didn't bother to read the full article confirms the same.
Baikie confirms as well.
Crow that witnessed installations and naming of the Bonny Kings confirmed as well.

Ijaw people lost woefully. No trace at all

SlayerForever:
The Igbo nation owes it to Opobo and Ubani to always flood their Nwaotam festivals in December and even sponsor some Nwaotam groups if possible. This is where the major bonding and reconnection takes place especially as Ijaw are trying to force Igbo to disappear from both towns through cultural genocide.

This years own is going to be huge, now that attention has been drawn to them.

People are now aware of the cultural genocide Ijaw people are carrying out there.

Truthvalue41:
1) I've got older documents showing Ika as bring Edo, and I posted those documents, yet you want to flatter yourself because you found an almost 100 year old document which did not in anyway show the contrary to my already proven claim.

The only person with PTSD is you. You can't force people to claim Igbo ! We are Edo, deal with it !

By the way, post the documents of which you posted a snippet, snippets are easily falsifiable.

I think most of you confused Ika people (not the sensible ones) have an attention problem.
The thread is not about Ika so I wonder what you wish to accomplish by throwing yourselves on our faces.
Like one renowned Igbo doctor said some months ago about Ika people sampling themselves and still insisting on how Bini they are, he said "We (Ndigbo) are not recruiting"

Stop all these attention seeking and work on yourselves. Solve the identity crisis within you and make a choice.
Any one you choose will be respected in Igboland.

1. If you choose to make yourselves Bini slaves, we will accept.
2. If you choose to be distinct ethnicity, that will be OK by us
3. If you now choose to return to the Igbo nation, then TERMS and CONDITIONS will apply

If you look around, there is no Igbo asking Ika to identify as Igbo. Even Ọhaneze Ndigbo that don't take the identity as serious as they should have openly told Gen. Lucky Irabor, the Nigerian Chief of Defense staff from that your Ika when Nigeria wanted to use him to blackmail Ndigbo that they appointed one of us, that he is not considered as Igbo by them and Us

Landmack:
Ipob terrorist. God will not punish the land of my birth,he will bless Nigeria and rid her of bad pple who doesn’t want her progress. Rather he will punish killer ipobians who are going about killing innocent pple

The real definition of a slave. An inferior being. One that owes his identity to what his master the British calls him. A living thing without honour, dignity or root.

These words define you
