We are not saying Igbos are not extremely competitive even to the detriment of others. Sure
But the fact is Yorubas prefer the Hausa/Fulanis because they create millions of employment and improve the economy through their own style of doing business.

It doesn't take the Hausas anything to start selling their products to their wives and brothers removing the Yorubas as retailers and middle men.

Whiteshield:
1. Tinubu's 2 protégés who attended that meeting individually have higher positions than all Igbos in the entire country today.

2. One of Tinubu's boys who attended the meeting occupies a position higher than what any Igbo man has occupied for the last 40 years.

3. If you Igbos want to ever amount to anything politically, you must go and wash plates in Bourdillon. That is the first political lesson you political minorities must learn.

Leeches, that's what you guys are.

helinues:
NL is a good example.

A guy on NL that called himself cancellers with 30+ imaginary enemies cos they have different opinions from him hence he must cancel all their comments.

The guy has taken is tribal bigotry to another level. Imagine the time being spent of creating disposable email, registering on NL, following 30+ victims before cancelling their comments.

He is so selfish to the extent of not minding book spacing FP thread with his cancellation nonsense which will be wiped away by mods hence denying other NL's to make FP.

It is indeed there are so many Pete Edochie in real life and such characters don't end well

TAO11:
While historians accepted his narration in part, they debunked the part which says Oduduwa is from Benin.

They maintained that such particular aspect of his narration is a fraud that was made-up in the 1970s.

And they affirmed the classical and “official” Benin account which simply sates that the Benin monarchy was founded by the Ife-Yoruba subgroup.

Peace!

Go and call your teacher Tao here right now, you have nothing upstairs to talk about. Let her know that I am ready to offer her or anyone $1000 who is able to provide eyewitness written historical accounts of Benin/Ife relationship early than 1800s.

samuk:
Please go and call Tao and hide yourself somewhere, I have no time for novice and upstart like you.

Etinosa12345:
Point of correction... U copied it from us

samuk:
Go and hide somewhere. Tao your master has been challenged to historical context. If you don't have anything meaningful to contribute please park to one side.

samuk:
This one is in severe pain.

samuk:
Asaba in Delta, Onitsha in Anambra, Ikwerre in Rivers, Igede in Benue are few examples of places founded by Benin people.

Below is the oldest eyewitness written historical account of Asaba. in 1875. if you have an older written account to debunk my claim, provide it. the Benin kingdom/empire was far greater than most of you can ever imagined. Those of you that actually know will not admit to it due to inferiority complex.

In case you missed it, it clearly says Asaba history says, they migrated under the sovereignty of the Oba of Benin due to war.

By 16th century (500 years ago) Benin already sent an ambassador to Lisbon in Europe, something no African kingdom/empire had done till then.

Bkayyy:
"Dimkpa Bini" is what we call then over here.
That man is a stereotype

Etrusen:
the answer you seek is on the map you brought but if you can't understand it, then it will be a shame on your part

gregyboy:
Benin Kingdom is edo people

Benin empire is outside edo, kogi, delta lagos, ogun, osun ondo, ekiti

Now you can use yout brain

Etrusen:
ok thank u bye bye



saying Oyo is more greater than benin and it never extended beyond it torritory is enough reason for me not to argue with you


the Oyo u claim can't be found in your own map where others are shown in west Africa you claim it to be great maybe by fighting against fellow Yoruba's in Dahomey and the Benin you claim is small is all over Yoruba land and Nri land not the migrants that fled Benin to a far location eg those far in Imo state and even Benin republic


you people keep comparing Oyo that only fought with fellow Yoruba's and couldn't unite the language to Benin. that only war Oyo fought against another tribe was the Fulani and they were defeated and you come here to make about it.


there is no difference between Yoruba and Igbo monarch were each community have entirely independent monarch.

valirex:
There was no part that attacked Igbos, only said there is similarity between Igbos and Ikweres due to trade and marriages over the years, is there anything wrong in that?

Etinosa12345:
Great grandfather wey nor get history... That one na great grandfather?
This is an account from a Dutch traveller who came to Benin in 1704
_{The inhabitants of the Benin are in general a kind and polite people, of whom one with kindness might get everything he desires. Whatever might be offered to them out of politeness, will always be doubled in return. However, they want their politeness to be returned with likewise courtesy as well, without the appearance of any disappointment or rudeness, and rightly so. To be sure, trying to take anything from them with force or violence, would be as if one tries to reach out to the Moon and will never be left unreckoned. When it comes to trade, they are very strict and will not suffer the slightest infringement of their customs, not even a iota can be changed. Though, when one is willing to accept these customs, they are very easy-going and will cooperate in every way possible to reach an agreement.}.

Then Igbos were still jumping from tree to tree

If u doubt me, post one account of a European abt the Igbos in the 18th century...

Etinosa12345:
This was written as at early 1691... The one u posted was late 19 century... See the gaps

Pls show me the one the Europeans wrote abt Igbos... Ohhh... U guys stay in the bush..

Etinosa12345:
E pain am... When we can compare history... we'll talk

Go and compare history with isoko and urhobo they are your mates

Igbo na Edo great grandfather

Etinosa12345:
Besides developing India, Vietnam, China, Singapore with drugs and doing Baby factory in Nigeria... There is nothing Igbo is known for
Even their history is nothing to write home about ...
The Benin art was copied and the style integrated into the art of many European artists and thus had a strong influence on the early formation of modernism in Europe.
Benin will forever be remembered as one of the top Empires in Nigeria...

Etinosa12345:
See what an explorer said when he came to Benin... Too bad we can't say such abt the ur forefathers who were still in the tallest trees

collinshush:
Hahahaha, You sef. So someone can't use the Sim card you have previously used before? Abi you don't know that network providers normally recycle inactive lines after some period of time and resell them.

No be for Asaba they arrested one man for using Buhari's daughter's previously used Sim card https://www.nairaland.com/5616858/man-using-sim-card-hanan

Meanwhile, if you can go through my posts and that man's own you have been posting, you will know that we have nothing in common.

I repeat it again to you, I will rather die than deny who I am. I'm not a Yoruba neither am I the one you have been posting his picture here.

BTW you're a very funny guy.

What a poor attempt at saving face

Etinosa12345:
