This man is a liar and a disaster waiting to happen. |
The Bini and Igala kingdoms placed a human tax on the Igbo provinces which they were meant to supply at a set future date. The Bini used the Igbo tribute as domestic slaves, human sacrifices or passed them off to be sold in exchange for goods . The Igala simply sold them to Fulani and Arab slavers . It is this tribute yoke that saw to the Igbo haphazard society setting up a caste system as a ready store of human tribute. To provide much stock to meet set tributes and dates, every conceivable wrong doing both imaginary or real was used to get the coffers of human stock reached. Failing to reach the set tribute saw to the Bini and Igala sending warriors to sack Igbo settlements. Rather than be sacked, Igbo settlements will either resort to capturing other igbos from neighboring communities to meet their quota or resort to declaring one of theirs an Osu . Of course, enemies and those coveting some one else's land or woman will set their fellow brethren up to be declared an Osu and from there take hold of their properties and women. This system became so ingrained in Igbo society that a professional band of OSU hunters came to be. The Arochukwu not only raided directly for slaves but also rounded up Osus to be forwarded . The situation got so terrible owing to the advent of the Jewish soave trade that demand for slaves increased dramatically to which the Arochukwu slavers increased their slave raiding to meet demand. The incessant slave raiding saw to a near collapse of Igbo society as normal human life was near impossible. Entire villages and settlements were raided for slaves which saw to an acute shortage of food owing to no more farming. This famine led to Igbo cannibalism So we can see that the Igbo slave raiding enterprise led to both the OSU caste system still practiced till this day and the notorious Igbo cannibalistic behaviour. And all these only came about owing to the lack of a central authority and unity among the Igbos for if they had such in place they won't have been subjugated to the tribute demands of the Bini Empire and the Igala kingdom. |
Igbodicool:You are blaming the Queen for your self induced enslavement? Why then is the remnant of the slave era in the form of the Igbo OSU caste system still rigidly enforced in your blighted slave province? Can you deny that the OSU caste system was set up solely to meet demand for slaves by your Igbo slavers who had no problem selling their own into slavery ? |
As predicted this whole Uju drama was carefully orchestrated and pushed by Jeff Bezzos to bring about a debate towards ending the monarchy. Our osus that readily sold their own and up till this moment rigidly enforce the OSU slave caste system in their God forsaken heathen lands are the ones now championing antislavery ? You see why I have always called these people slaves of Judas. |
Conner44:How can you be crying over Igbo self induced slave trade but still have a fallout of the Igbo slave trade in the form of the OSU caste system ? |

Conner44:The irony here is how remnants of the slave era are still in effect in your despicable region in the form of the OSU caste system How can you be blaming the Queen and monarchy for your self enslaving ventures bit still enforce the rigid slave caste system in your blighted God forsaken slave province? |
DaveDGreat:Is it not ironic that the only tribe to still maintain a slave caste system in today's modern world is the Igbo. But here you are blaming the British monarchy for your own self enslaving culture which the British did all they could to stop it. |
Conner44:So as to tell you who really was behind the slave trade. Your Arochukwu slavers and Jewish masters were the driving force in the slave trade . So stop blaming the British monarchy that put an end to it. |

oga I have said I will forward your grievance to Uju. Why are you now looking for something else to fight with?
