SamboAnguissa:
What this mongrel said was very wrong. Even if it actually happened, it should be confined to the dustbin of primitive history of African tribes. Having said that, it is hilarious how ibbos cannot take half of what they give:
Ibbo: (slaps a guy)
Guy: (hits the ibbo on the head with a sledgehammer)
Ibbo: (crying) boo hoo why did you hit me?! What did I do to you?!

Kanu was calling Fulanis cows and all sorts of names, and his people were egging him on. This is this guy just giving them a taste of their medicine.

And who told you any Igboman gives a fvck about Asari's rantings? Is it not yorubas that are gloating over it? So because ijaws live close to the sea and people brought slave to the port, ijaws now sold Igbos?

NaMe4:
Very False.

Bini, Benin, etc were all coined words by the Portuguese.

More accurately and historically, they were the Edos (Arrioba Edos), and the Kingdom -Igodomigodo. All the same people.

Benin City, the present capital of Edo State was the Center of the Benin Kingdom where the Oba's Palace was located and still is located. Today, due to creation of States eg Delta State, it is now located in Edo South.

The geographical area we call Benin City today was the capital of the ancient Benin Kingdom.

Okay

buhariguy:
can anybody win only south East and become president?
south south were share among the three contestants

Lagos, Abuja, Nassarawa, plateau, Benue nko? South south was not shared, Obi cleared four, PDP got two

JAMO84:
If the Court mistakenly ordered a rerun, Obi will regret the day he join politics. Only Nzogbu people hate Tinubu in this Country now, the beating will be brutal.

I like the way you are seeing a rerun but still manage to console yourself

seanfer:
Name those won the presidential election without winning some part of the north.

We are talking about core north. If you are now switching to "some parts of the north" Peter Obi won Nassarawa, Abuja, Plateau and Benue
Meanwhile tell us how someone who lost Lagos, Kano, Abuja, Rivers can win the election

OldBeer:
AntiMarxist and Raskimonojendor, thanks for all the expose. My eyes don really open.
I thought this people being called cannibals was mere bants.

But Achebe never mentioned this practice in his books. Though I recall where Okonkwo in Things Fall Apart drank palm wine from a human skull. That part always struck me as odd especially for a people he was trying to paint as possessing native intelligence whose way of life was ruined by the white man.

Na wa o

But yorubas are still mining skull till now

Raskimonojendor:
Wars were fought just as in the Boer wars, or every other important war the British were fighting in a bid to colonize rich lands.. E.g. the English vs Ijebu or the English vs Egba.

The British did not have your time until later. There were bigger fishes to fry.

Olodo, we are talking about slave trade not colonization. As for wars with colonial Invaders, Aro/Anglo war was the toughest and Ekumeku war the longest. Yorubaland was easily overrun

AntiMarxist:
Go and behead your fellow Igbo in protest for Biafra and Kanu's release.


You will not be allowed to cross into the SS with your madness.

Use your yeast and her people to leverage against the FG in the name of fighting for Biafra..

Nobody cared or cares when you kill each other .

You hardly bring cerebral argument. Very shallow olodo

AntiMarxist:
Your Arochukwu dealt in general OSU merchant commodities .

This is nothing to be proud of.

This is more advanced than primitive invasion and destruction that happened in yorubaland

Raskimonojendor:
Yes I discovered today that Ibos were sold as slaves by the Ijaw, Itsekiri and the Benin.

However, unlike the yorubas that made a name for themselves in their Newfoundland, the Ibo culture just dissapeared like fart in those places. That's also a fact.

Lol, every author has his /her own opinion. If I show you other writtings praising Igbo now you will start shouting "inferiority complex" as usual

NaMe4:
Onitsha people from where? Owo?

Of course, Owo town was not bigger than the Benin Kingdom.
Many of you mistaken present-day Benin City (capital of Edo State) for Benin Kingdom.

Benin kingdom = Benin city
This is different from Benin Empire which included other Edoid tribes, yorubas, igbos

AntiMarxist:
Shut up.

Igbo man saw civilization before others ?

You that your emancipation into civilization began in the late 1920s.

Bini ,Itshekiri , Yoruba and Effik and same Ijaw had been in contact with Europeans as far back as the 15th century .

Igboland began its great leap forward in the early to mid 20th century .

Is there any thing you have to point to this claim of western civilization reaching igboland before others ?

Christianity hit the southwest and southsouth long before it reached your heathen enclave .

Your ancestors were killing and eating missionaries while tying their bicycles to palmtrees thinking it was a horse that will run back and report you for eating it's master.

You guys were the last to be civilised .

That's why your people lack native intelligence. Chinese are also driving out villagers from Ogun right now. Opening your "nyash" for foreign Invaders is never progress. It's a shame that British trading companies took over yorubaland at a time Arochukwu traders controlled Igboland and prevented British from going beyond the coast

CJStarz:
Fact is this guy is jealous of Igbos He can't comprehend us. He wants to use Igbos to seek relevance. We no send am. We busy making money while he's busy ranting childishly. Igbos carry grace. We are no victims. We are more than conquerors!
Onye na aro onye kariri ya anya bu nkiri ka o na ekiri ya. Loosely translated, the person who eyes his superior is merely admiring him!
Ignore the blomblom guy biko

Allow them to vent their frustrations. It's allowed

Raskimonojendor:
Another fact.

These were Abiriba warriors. The backbone of Aro Confederacy

Raskimonojendor:
And who is disputing the fact that yorubas also sold themselves as slaves. You see, unlike the ibos, they embrace history and not try to deny it.
Go and watch Bigger than Africa on Netflix. You will enjoy it.

Even the slaves ijaw claimed to have sold was brought to the coast by Arochukwu people.

Raskimonojendor:
Okay. Itsekiri, Benin and Ijaws did not have Igbo slaves. I guess you are happy now.

Benin sold yoruba slaves in staggering numbers. Owo was a mighty kingdom probably larger than Benin. But Oba Esigie defeated them after surrendering himself as a Portuguese stooge. He packed people from Owo like sand an sold to Portuguese who carried them off to plantions in Brazil. It was that period that Onitsha people fled towards the East and founded many towns in Delta State before crossing the Niger

Raskimonojendor:
I never disputed that. My post is for those burying their heads in the sand like an ostrich and shying away from the truth.

E be like say you don humble after discovering more facts you didn't know before

Raskimonojendor:
Nothing wrong with a Yoruba publishing the first Igbo book. It's just fact and not a dick swinging contest.

The first Yoruba grammar was published in 1843, also by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther.

If an Igbo speaks Yoruba well, we praise the Igbo man not the language. There is an Ibo man very popular in the SW that sings and even does incantations in the Yoruba language. The man is well celebrated.

So Ajayi crowther, a slave dumped in Freetown who joined British missionaries to work in Nigeria, wrote first book in both yoruba and Igbo, I'm sure he wrote in many other languages in the course of their missionary work, and you are chest beating over nothing? I was expecting you to tell me how Oyo and Ife wrote many yorubas books before colonization

richie240:
Sebi you sef dey see am abi.

Despite the evidence that he/they started all this ''AVM Ogalla is not pure igbo'' bullcrap, they still manage to flip it around by (as usual) blame others for what they started and when confronted with the facts, they still obstinately refuse to back down.

Their matter taya person!

The name is not pure Igbo name, that's why people thought there was no Igbo. That's what we said. Na una people start to clain that he is Igala. Even the name is not a Yoruba name, does it mean that these yorubas that bear it are Igalas? Try to understand the argument here

Gajagojo:
Yoruba bear Ogala,Edo hear Ogala
Ibibio bear Ogala,
Igala hear Ogala
They bear Ogala in Kenya
But I don't know if THOSE PEOPLE
also hear Ogala

So why does an Igboman who bear Ogala suddenly became Igala to yoruba people? So Igala us now majority in SW?

omenka:
Obi is going mad but no one close to him is telling him the truth.

You're contesting the outcome of an election and claiming you won, but your witnesses are mostly southerners, if not exclusively southerners. I suppose he never featured in the North.

🤡🤡

North is overrated, especially by yoruba people

This is where Peter Obi is needed

omenka:
If by tomorrow someone else calls you and your tribesmen "cannabis", you'd stat throwing another round of childish tantrums

Try and act your age.

That said, what Asari said is totally wrong and inflammatory. He should be cautioned by the relevant authorities.

No. Let them be venting their frustrations freely, including the yorubas. It's allowed

Raskimonojendor:
Where is the lie?

If I start posting other facts here or start creating topics about how backward the Ibo tribe was even as at the mid 19 century, you will also run to the mods calling for a ban.

When was the first book in yoruba written? You see the problem with your people? If it was Igbo writing in yoruba yo will still praise the yoruba language. Una get serious problem

Raskimonojendor:
Go and tell twitter to ban anyone posting the news just like you are calling the mods to ban OP for posting facts that dokubo was talking about. While you are at it, please tell call Mark Zuckerberg to ban Reno too.

But these "facts" are noting to gloat about. Slave trade was legitimate business then, Igbos are even the least affected. everybody took slaves to the coast. It's not as if any of the coastal tribes went into the hinterlands to catch slaves by themselves

Gajagojo:
Brutality? From who?

It is factual what he said
The Ibos were sold as slaves by Kalabari for decades if not centuries
Not only them,The other Ijaw groups ,Itsekiri Ikwerre Efik and Ibibio all sold Ibos

Ibos became relevant after the slave trade when the numbers of unsold slaves ballooned and The Ibo population became a majority
British gave power based on population
If not British that brought democracy how could Ibos face Ijaw?
They were not advanced beyond village level of umunna level.
That is why Ikwerre resent being called Ibo because they were their slaves before Britain turned everything upside down

Thank God you know, unlike yorubas population that had been depopulated by Benin who sold them to Portuguese, slave trade was new in Igboland before it was banned, that's why Igboland is the most densly populated. Also, coastal people formed middle men slave Marchant, they never had any military force to go into the hinterlands. All tribes from the interior brought slaves to the coast. Make una no de spin ignorance

chucks185:
your father fought for one nigeria, now you want the same people to go

They are crying in vain. Tinubu can not help them

We are waiting for any government sponsored attack on Igbos, we are going home to declare a sovereign country if such happens. Every other thing is minor case, we will always triumph with a burst of energy leaving our detractors frustrated

SpatialKing:
How many have become Deputy governors?

You no well

chuksanambra:
This same Asari threatened the Ohaneze and the Ohaneze apologised. Is that not cowardice from the Ohaneze?
The best response for this is a heavier response.

Asari is a bastard for this nonsense he said and posterity will not be kind to him. The insult is too much for Igbos to swallow and I hope Igbos respond to this useless talk.

But on the other hand, Kanu said worse than this and he was supported by stupid Igbos (who are in the majority).

Igbo won't respond to thrash because we are busy making money. Kanu fought for his people, Asari is fighting for his pocket.

duro4chang:
Nothing worries anybody because we all know that obi is chasing the wind.

Okay. Stop opening shitty threads

SpatialKing:
I am not saying he is not a pure Igbo man

Okay
