If there is any group in the south that actually gave the British a LONG TERM FIGHT, it is the Igbo.
You need to start chronicling from even before the Anglo-Aro war all the way to Nigeria's independence.
And the war continued under Biafra, and has continued in other ways.
Without Igbo in Southern Nigeria, your fate would be totally different.

Nnamdi Azikiwe was a sellout, so is Ahmadu Bello, Akintola etc...Edo people never snitch or sellout on their own people. WAZOBIA sold out just to eat at the colonial thieves table and to get the WAZOBIA tag... WAZOBIA is a scam, Edo people are the largest group, after the Hausa groups...but the British know we won't work with them in that colonial bullshit arrangements, so they created the WAZOBIA scam to appease you sell outs.

You are talking nonsense, igbos have no empire or structured system or organized army, when the Islamists jihadist led by Usman Dan fodio were invading West Africa, Edo warriors were the only organized army that pushed back marauders. igbos were not controlling trading routes, down to Lagos, Togo, and down to Cross river, Onitsha, or have you not heard that Edos controlled and built Onitsha?

Benin empire held sway and you can't spread out so much without military prowess. Igbos were local champions, only existed in southeast and Arochukwu areas. Edo people controlled from Benin to Itsekiri, to Onitsha, the whole Niger Delta, down to Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Togo, down to the borders of Ghana.

The earliest people that entered Lagos are Edo people, igbos only entered Lagos after 1960 independence.

Mrfeel:
They sold igbo slaves but you claim they did not work with the colonial people?

And between the Benins and the Igbos who fought more wars with the colony's? Benin was a kingdom controlled by a monarch king once they captured the king the entire Kingdom submitted to the colony

The wars and counter insurgency lasted for about 2 years, it was not a quick feat, and even after the Oba was captured, the indegenous people formed insurgency groups, they didn't scatter once the Oba was captured.

Selling of slaves is different from allowing people come into your lands to control the trade and resources...you should know the difference. They didn't want to work with them as a colonized people, slave trade was an international business then that has been going on for more than two hundred years.

Mrfeel:
The Benin kingdom and Edo people did not work with the colonial people? How did they sell slave to them ?

They sold Igbo slaves to the Portuguese, but we never wanted to be part of colonial Nigeria, we resisted being colonized and joined with this contraption...the British people had to wage a full scale war, after Edo warriors killed their emissary spies that they sent to conquer all tribes and parts of this part of West Africa. We are not slaves like you WAZOBIA idiots who gladly surrendered to the white man, to get a position from your slave master. We earned our empire with blood and tears.

Edo is the largest tribe, WAZOBIA scheme was implemented by the colonial people because the Benin kingdom and Edo people can not work with European/English devils, rather, we went to war with them(British and Benin War, late 18th century. We must throw that WAZOBIA scam in the dustbin forever. Thank God now we have 6 geopolitical zones. God bless South South.

Olu317:
Tell me something, was West Africa inhabited twenty thousands years ago with Dna or fosil human proof ?

Either Oduduwa means different thing to different authors, the fact remains that Ileife version is the right information on him. And he ruled as Ooni ileife

He wore Ade Are crown which symbolises absolute authority as the supreme king over all other lower kings in ileife before descendants of these other lords and Oduduwa descendants moved out of ileife to reestablish newer settlements.

Besides, information on linguistic comparison has shown Yorubas have heavy semitic input which proofs connection to the Near East.

Furthermore, Dna trait has shown that Yoruba ancestors once lived in Northern Europe about twenty thousands years (20000)ago which proofs migratory tendency as hunter gatherers.So semitic historical link is plausible.

No evidence of your oduduwa myth god falling from heaven. Your oduduwa is our exiled prince. Edo people, heritage and empire is older than Yoruba itself... Yoruba, Ile'Ife as an organized entity, was birthed by the Benin Prince.

No other tribe or culture can create such exquisite, intricate, priceless artworks. Greatest, most expensive art pieces in the world is created by artisans in the Benin empire. Greatest empire state from Nigeria.

I don't know about your case, but that lady in that picture has a cold look.

Aluta!

This national assembly is a disgrace, they quickly collected billions for luxury vehicles, over priced, I mean they are vehicles for N25million, but these people appropriated N160million each for one vehicle...what a wicked people.

Okoroawusa:
Any strike that doesn't ground Lagos to its knee na strike?

They can't force private workers who are not their members, and it seems Lagos state government is meeting up to workers requirements. The Senate and house of representatives are our biggest problems. They need to amend those anti people clauses and paragraph of the constitution. Our political class is overfed.

itsene:
Then expect better beating. I hope you are will participate in the blockade.

Mumu, the NLC is a recognized labor union recognized by our constitution, and the right to protest is in the constitution, and it's a fundamental citizens right. Workers must unite, if the workers unite stooges of politicians like you, no get mouth. How many you wan beat?

NLC should go block the Senate building and house of representatives buildings, these two set of people are a waste to Nigeria.

Inferiority complex makes a people seek validation.

Enjoy your abroad.

Most likely for security reasons.

Okpollo:
Lebanon wasnt like that when they were majority christian state, it was when they started letting palestinian refugees into their country that they messed the country up. And turned it to shadow of it self ,you will never hear them complain how palestinian refugees has destroyed lebanon.

Nigerian government need to check all these foreigners, make sure they pay taxes, work permits etc, and deport all those with expired visas, Lebanon is filled with extremists, a war torn poor country, we should only allow the ones with money to invest in here...they should not be allowed to take our good jobs. They should be our cleaners, security etc...

The biggest tribe in Nigeria, the greatest people.

Most of those Lebanese people go dey form for Nigeria, nothing dey their country.

If Nigeria get better political class, Lebanese for dey do security for Nigeria, very backward Lebanon, so so war and terrorists.

Yujin:
Your death is very near.

Na evil Kanu and you go die. He is a terrorist they deserve death.

Emeifele must be dealt with, for the economic sabotage and nearly leading Nigeria to anarchy.

chiagozien:
Hahaha Fear of Kanu







So what do you say about your Nigeria government freeing your Boko Haram terrorists brothers and even paying them?

No fear, just showing you idiots that Nigeria is not a zoo like Kanu said.

chiagozien:
We're destroy ourselves then why are fools the ones crying?

We want you to continue, that's why we say no to release of Kanu the terrorists, obliterate yourselves off the map, that will be good news for Nigeria. Nigerians are tired of you people, making noise everyday, if you obliterate yourselves good for Nigeria.

chiagozien:
A terrorist calling Kanu a terrorist


Well fools are Free to call Mazi Nnamdi Kanu a terrorist.

He unleashed hell on Igbos said by none Igbo,but we Igbos you claim he unleashed hell to is saying God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


When did you people started Caring for we Igbos

It's about our laws, you fools can keep killing yourselves, abi you said without releasing Kanu you will destroy yourselves... continue.

Federal government if you release Kanu, the violence that will befall Nigeria has never been seen, Nigerian youths will now know violence is the only way.

chiagozien:
Take your evidence to court.



If not you go explain tire

Federal government if you release Kanu, the violence that will befall Nigeria has never been seen, Nigerian youths will now know violence is the only way.

Everyone will become a violent terrorist because that's the only way, Nigeria will be destroyed if a terrorist is released.

PigKILLERpromax:
You are a decorated dunce.

Tinubu, Federal government if you release Kanu, the violence that will befall Nigeria has never been seen, Nigerian youths will now know violence is the only way. Militants are observing, bandits are observing, everyone will want their own nation at that point, we can't be in a lawless nation.

chiagozien:
Ipob is unarmed Peaceful freedom fighters.
https://www.nairaland.com/7890552/court-declares-ipob-proscription-illegal

Galant ESN is Vigilantes with guns, serving one purpose which fighting your fulanis herdmen in our farms killing and kidnapping which your Nigeria government failed to do something to stop.


I believe ipob have several times made it clear that ESN has no business in town and cities.


UGM are your apc boys,so chill.

Their game to make the international community to see Ipob as violent group failed.

Your Nigeria securities that died were sacrificed by your Nigeria government lead by APC.

Federal government if you release Kanu, the violence that will befall Nigeria has never been seen, Nigerian youths will now know violence is the only way.

chiagozien:
Evidence of Kanu doing all that you're falsely accusing him?




His only crime and why he's in detention is he wants better country for his people,

He is the head, founder, leader and mobilizer of Ipob, ESN. That's all the evidence you need. Thousands of videos online proves this. You fools can keep worshipping the idiot, but he will die in jail.

sunboy:
You play too much, everybody knows that Iran is not weak in the Middle East. It’s a public knowledge.

Iran is weak, they depend on theatrics, a surprise attack will do the job, it happened against Iraq and Afghanistan... serious continuous air bombardments, destroy all their weapons depot and nuclear plants, so the nuclear leaks and kill the devil's, this will bring them to their knees, then send in the tanks.

chiagozien:
You're Nigeria government should not release a freedom fighter freed by your Nigeria court.

But they can release known terrorists(Boko Haram members)



What a good way to build Nigeria.

He is a terrorist, his terrorists acts of his ipob and ESN group are known by all, you fools can call him whatever, but he killed Nigerian police, army and destroyed prison blocks releasing prisoners unleashing hell on igbos.

If a weak fool like Kanu can break Nigeria and bend us to go out of our norms, laws and values, then Nigeria is useless...if Tinubu release Kanu, militants will be more bolder, and more youths will become terrorists. Let Kanu die in jail to serve as deterrence. Bleep politics, most of us don't care about politics but we hate terrorists.

chiagozien:
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a freedom fighter.



Every reasonable person know it.


Even your Nigeria court yesterday ruled that the proscription of Ipob as Terrorist group was illegal.

Kanu ordered the killing of Nigerians, police officers, destroyed prisons and release prisoners. Kanu deserve to be killed to serve as warning to all those that want to use terrorism to get their will. Kanu should die in jail, life imprisonment for all the lives Ipob took. If Tinubu release Kanu, Nigerian youths will all turn violent, from South to North, the youths will think violence and terrorism pays. If Tinubu release Kanu he is slapping police officers and military men on the face who Kanu ordered ipob and ESN to kill, Tinubu will destroy his presidency and peace and rule of law in Nigeria if he release Kanu, he is telling the youths and militants...kill police, kill army, burn police station and you will be celebrated. Kanu should be given life imprisonment.

SeunOsewaIsDiot:
releasing Kanu is the beginning of destruction of Nigeria


Is your life and Nigeria better now under your brother Tinubu?

Cow thief

If Kanu is released militants in South South will rise up, more youths in North will join terrorism, the federal government will be showing Nigerian youths that violence and terrorism is the only way in Nigeria. If Tinubu release Kanu, Nigeria is destroyed.
