The Igbo in the Atlantic slave trade became one of the main ethnic groups enslaved with the Yorubas in the era lasting between the 16th and late 19th century.
Located near indigenous Igbo territory, the Bight of Biafra (also known as the Bight of Bonny ), became the principal area in obtaining Igbo slaves.
The Bights major slave trading ports were located in Bonny and Calabar; a large number of these slaves were Igbo. Slaves, kidnapped or bought from fellow Africans, were taken to Europe and the Americas by European slave traders.
An estimated 14.6% of slaves were taken from the Bight of Biafra between 1650 and 1900, the third greatest percentage in the era of the trans-atlantic slave trade. Ethnic groups were fairly saturated in certain parts of the Americas because of planters preferences in certain African peoples.
The Igbo where dispersed to colonies such as Jamaica, Cuba, Hispaniola, Barbados, United States, Belize, Trinidad and Tobago among others. Elements of Igbo culture can still be found in these places. In the United States the Igbo were found common in the state of Maryland and Virginia.

Effects It is estimated that a total of 1.4 million Igbo people were transported (via European ships) across the Atlantic in the era of Atlantic slave trade.
Most of these ships were British. Dispersal Some recorded populations of people of African descent on Caribbean islands recorded 2,863 Igbo on Trinidad and Tobago in an 1813 census; 894 in Saint Lucia in an 1815 census; 440 on Saint Kitts and Nevis in an 1817 census; and 111 in Guayana in an 1819 census.

Barbados: Olaudah Equiano was kidnapped and first taken to Barbados The Igbo were dispersed to Barbados in large numbers. Olaudah Equiano, a famous Igbo author, abolitionist and ex-slave, was dropped off there after being kidnapped from his hometown near the Bight of Biafra. After arriving in Barbados he was promptly shipped to Virginia. At his time, 44 percent of the 90,000 Africans disembarking on the island (between 1751 and 1775) were from the bight. These Africans were therefore mainly of Igbo origin. The links between Barbados and the Bight of Biafra had begun in the mid-seventeenth century, with half of the African captives arriving on the island originating from there.

Haiti: Some slaves arriving in Haiti included Igbo people who were considered suicidal and therefore unwanted by plantation owners. According to Adiele Afigbo there is still the Creole saying of Ibos pend'cor'a yo (the slaves hang themselves). Aspects of Haitian culture that exhibit this can be seen in the Ibo loa , a Haitian loa (or deity) created by the Igbo in the Vodun religion.

Jamaica: Igbo people in Jamaica... Bonny and Calabar emerged as major embarkation points of enslaved West Africans destined for Jamaica's slave markets in the 18th century. Dominated by Bristol and Liverpool slave ships, these ports were used primarily for the supply of slaves to British colonies in the Americas. In Jamaica, the bulk of Igbo slaves arrived relatively later than the rest of other arrivals of Africans on the Island in the period after the 1750s. There was a general rise in the amount of enslaved people arriving to the Americas, particularly British Colonies, from the Bight of Biafra in the 18th century; the heaviest of these forced migrations occurred between 1790 and 1807. The result of such slaving patterns made Jamaica, after Virginia , the second most common destination for slaves arriving from the Bight of Biafra; as the Igbo formed the majority from the bight, they became largely represented in Jamaica in the 18th and 19th century.

United States:
the Igbo slaves were known for being rebellious. In some states such as Georgia, the Igbo had a high suicide rate.
Igbo slaves were most numerous in the states of Maryland and Virginia, In the 19th century the state of Virginia received around 37,000 slaves from Calabar of which 30,000 were Igbo according to Douglas B. Chambers. The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia estimates around 38% of captives taken to Virginia were from the Bight of Biafra. Igbo peoples constituted the majority of enslaved Africans in Maryland. Chambers has been quoted saying that, "research suggests that perhaps 60 percent of black Americans have at least one Igbo ancestor and their Igboness element can still be traced till today. ...

superstar1:
Seems you are lost.
What are we talking about on this thread? Just tell the world.

To sprew-up another Tribal e-war

superstar1:
Spartans had 300, we have 129,
Though you were few in number, but you were a battalion at heart,
They came in one way, you scattered them in seven ways,
You turned their nights into day and day into night,
Eclipsing their souls forever, vanquishing their spirits eternally, sending the invaders to the Hades and abyss of no return.

Against all odds, you demonstrated courage and wisdom,
You showed us the power of brain over brawn,
The advantage of wisdom over strength,
The superiority of effective number over numerical strength,
The effect of quick strategic thinking over chest beating.

How can 129 ''Spartans-like soldiers'' wipe out a garrison?
How can 129 ''Spartan-like soldiers'' ensure the capitulation of a whole Division of invaders of our serenity?
How can 129 ''Spartan-like soldiers'' ensure confusion and scampering of a Battalion of bandits and marauders?
Indeed, those that were with the Spartans in their imaginary forms, are more than the invading marauders.

The Defenders of the western region,
The lions of the Ore jungle that consumed every pretender calling himself somebody, when he is nobody,
The Sun that deems all pretending ''rising sun'',
The Oodua machines that recalibrate all malfunctioning compasses,
The Questioners and Thwarters of fake secession dreams.

We celebrate you and we say thank you for defending us and our canaanland, that flows with milk and honey, with your lives.

You are not forgotten our heroes, our own dear 129 ''Spartans''.

Stress to type...
A long saga....
I have the full Civil War disc at home...
The Nigerian-Biafra war wasn't a Yoruba concerned..
If the war was between Yoruba and Biafra without the Northerners and more than 20 foreign help... The case of the Yorubas would have been a "walk-over." just like how the Normadic Fulanis conquered the ancient City of Ilorin with its' coward King(afonja) and its' lazy people...
.
Stressed, I would hv lectured you...
What you wrote does not even relates with what happened...
Obviously, you know nothing about it....

A 10yrs old Igbo boy knows the Saga than you do....

tunddy:
bros Igbo is not a complete ika language in other words there are some Igbo words that are not in the ika language vice versa

So as other Igbo dialects...
We have the central-Igbo which is easily understanded by different Igbo dialects in the Whole south-east, some south-south and North central indigenes...
We have more than 70 different Igbo dialects... But the central Igbo binds us all.

yibobasher2:
Can you see why Malo kill them like cockroaches? Claiming to be majority in another man's land. If we descend on them now they will start crying like they normally do saying they are being marginalized.

Go and say that to Tinubu...
What's the different between you and "black south African."?

Adegbodolu1:
And so what? Even that will not make Lagos Igbo land, never. And I say that with absolute certainty.

I never said Lagos is Igboland.
I'm an Igbo guy... Lagos is a Yoruba land...
Those saying that Lagos is not a Yorubas' land are teasing you guys....

teeowl:
There is NO credible source that says Igbos are 43% in Lagos. So your argument is DEAD! Yorubas clearly outnumber the Igbos in Lagos!

If you feel otherwise, do the homework yourself and post a credible source.

If the Igbos are 43% and Yorubas and other ethnic group (including the South-South) are 57%, why did Jimi Agabaje not win?

No credible source indeed!
Vanguard, Sunnews, Punch, Leadership, e.t.c are not credible source...
We all know that an average Igbo man don't have time for voting...
