You guys need to make up your minds. first it was igbo slaves outnumber every slaves. then when i brought out how that was a sign of weakness, now you switch it to yoruba slaves outnumber everyone else lmaoooo. ok biafra loser

Yorubas have ALWAYS been the highest recorded slaves in America, both south and north. That's been well taught hence I disagreed with Francis when he said otherwise.
You were never the least traded slave tribes..the hausa were
You were never the slave traders...the fulanis, ashanti, etc were
You were never the rebellious group..the akan, igbo, mandigo, wolof, Angola tribes were

Yoruba were nothing. The only thing you were known for is having a high number of slaves and your religion surviving due to the fact you people were the last slaves to arrive to South America and other tribes, including your people that was already there, readopted your religion. That's the only thing you were known for, nothing more, nothing less

SmartChoices:
Truth is the Igbo is a derivative of Yoruba ....the igboland is part of the Oyo empire!

What did you smoke?

UnknownT:
I still wonder how the Igbos do it, as in they come near you and you lose your original language and start speaking Igbo. Some may say the Olukun mi people were nearer to the Igbos that was why, but what of the Igbo that is being spoken in far away bonny/opobo and some of the people that always claim Benin origin but now use 99% Igbo names and language. And when they achieve this, we don't hear people saying that they were forced to speak/learn Igbo like they are colonial masters

First of all, olukumi migrated to Aniochaland, not the other way around. Our people accepted nicely, even accommodated them nice enough by providing them their own place in which they can call a home...that's why I always laugh whenever Yoruba run their mouth on their so called accomodation of igbos in lagos , blah blah. The problem is SE Igbos refuse to learn about other igbo territory outside of their own. If they did, they would have known about this history and use it to shut up that unaccomodated tribe that keep shouting everywhere about their accommodation of others in lagos. Mtchewww. Anyway, the reason olukumi dropped their language and started speaking igbo is because as you said they were surrounded by Aniocha clans, igbo speaking, and in other to trade with the surrounding tribes they had to learn the language. They've equally mixed up with Aniocha hence today they don't bare anything yoruba related and sees themselves as Aniocha as well.

Before any SE igbo start attacking me, I'm Aniocha and I know Aniocha are Igbos, we barely have deniers within our people. Just cause I wrote Aniocha clans does not remove our tribal identity. Just want to make that disclaimer before I'm ganged up on.

sukkot:
you guys say igbo slaves were more in USA. now its yoruba who were more ? make up your mind

Maybe you should read my posts again and this time carefully. I've always maintained yorubas outnumber the igbo slaves because that was what was taught during my studies.

sukkot:
yorubas were never captured as slaves in large numbers. you igbo cowards were the ones who were mostly captured. thats why most slaves were igbos. do you see any hausa slaves ? only the weak tribes were enslaved. this why all the slaves in virginia were igbo. you are coawrds. however if bravery is by shouting then you igbos are the bravest lol. your bravery is only in your head. but everywhere else everyone looks at you as cowards

Ha. Yorubas out number the amount of slaves from bright of biafra and other tribes labeled bright of benin too. You people were the easiest to capture. Seriously, pick up a book. Read, READ

Ihuomadinihu:
Thank you. That has already been sorted out. He admitted he is just a troll.
On a lighter note,i read where they praised igbo women's beauty and work rate.

Yeah majority of the articles written about igbo women during that era praised the living sh1t out of them and funny enough, in each praise article I've read, they always write nothing but negative degrading comments about the men. I recall one I read where the author was talking about igbo women and beauty and if they were europeans they will be extremely sort after, etc. Ironically on that same article the author called igbo men sickly looking, beedy eyes and much more negative comments. I'm like wtf... can't even give props to the men that gave birth to those women he was praising. they loved the women but hated the men. But then again, igbo women made their job easier for them. They were more open to mingling and mixing with other tribes .

sukkot:
let me tell you what happened to the REAL rebellious slaves, which are the yorubas, which is why there were many igbo slaves in america but not enough yorubas. the real rebellious slaves, of which 90 percent of them were yorubas never made it to america. they either all jumped off the boat and swam back to their countries or drowned. or they mutinied and attacked the ship owners and killed them and drove the ship back to africa. thats real bravery. not like the ndigbos who allow themselves to be taken on a 3 month voyage in the belly of a ship, and then get mentally unstable when they get to america and start killing themselves. its too late when you get to america. you shoulda been killed yourself like the yorubas did on the slave ships. not after you get to destination. BRAVE SONS OF ODUDUWA

Aww now I know this guy grief. Heya unfortunately for you, Yoruba were NEVER recorded as rebellious. There was not ONE single documented slave revolution that involved Yoruba. The wolof, bini, etc from bright of benin were rebellious yes but never Yoruba

The documented rebellious groups were wolof, mandigo, akan, igbo, and Angolan clans. YORUBA were NEVER included nor feared or hated by the white masters. The yoruba slaves did as they were told. Sorry for the grievance. Ndo oo. Take heart oo

[quote author=sukkot post=33400456][/quote]No you ended up proving EXACTLY what we all been saying. no one ever denied igbo women were docile during slave trade. Every African tribes women were docile hence till date, the were never a slave rebellion done by women and infact black female slaves were liked more so than the males.
The only time the women got involved with any rebellious act is when they were motivated by the males. For example: the only known Black female slave that killed her master was an igbo female and prior to doing that, she was actually loved by her master. She did exactly as she was told until that master bought two new igbo male slaves and both males motivated her into joining them to kill the master so they can escape ( ar least that what their trial said). That master was James Madison's grandfather.

Every rebellion known for black slaves were done by male folks hence the tribes labeled rebellious were labeled so based on the men attitude. The mandigos, the igbos, the akans, the Angolan clans, the wolof, etc were hated by the white slave owners due to their rebellious act and this is a well documented fact. Even the book were you got the exempts quote also verified this hence the same book stated the igbo women were loved while the Igbo men were despised.


So no dude, all you did is Prove us right once again. We still waiting on your "well documented proves" and that seem to be a dawning task of you. The best you could get was getting an exempt speaking of women. Best believe I can assist you on articles from the slave masters praising igbo women while down putting and hating on igbo men. There are numerous of it but alas that ain't what we are talking about. We are talking about the SLAVE REBELS aka the MALE FOLKS. Pay attention. You said you have numerous links amd books that stated igbo men are docile and not rebellious. We still waiting on just ONE proof from you. Yet nothing.

Sigh!!! Self claimed historian why are you so clueless on history eeh?

temitopeadeyemo:
I am Yoruba and proudly so. I do not see my tribe as better than others. I do not insult the inadequacies of other tribes. I see others irrespective of their background as humans and must be accorded some respect and dignity. I have noticed however, the way my igbo brothers and sisters have really taken this ethno-political war, thinking they are better than others. They have made some points in justifying their superiority to other tribes in the country and I am here to bust some of them.

Myth #1- Igbos are Jewish descendants or are like Jewish people. Comparing themselves with the Jewish people is a joke taking too far. They say they are adventurous as the jewish people. Jewish people became adventurous for a number of reasons, chief among them is that they were forced out of their country and had no choice but to seek refuge in foreign countries. The Igbos were never chased out of their home country. They chose to leave their homeland to other places. To them, the grass is always green at the other side. Secondly, The Jewish people practiced monotheism and we all know that just like any other African society, the Igbos have many deities they worshiped. Thirdly, The Jewish people speak Hebrew from the Afroasiatic language family while the Igbo is from Niger-Congo language family like Ashanti, Yoruba, etc. I have tried many times to find any similarities between the two groups but I have not found any. They may be adventurous more than any other tribes in country, but so are the Lebanese, the Syrians, Jews and the chinese. These other groups do not feel they are better than others. It is simple logic that you tend to do better when you are not in your comfort zone. Nigeriansare rated as one of the most educated ethnic groups in the US. They just have to make use of the opportunities they have because that is the only way to survive. So Igbos doing well in the West, North and even outside the country is just simple mathematics.

Myth #2- Igbos are the most successful tribe in the country. We can define success in so many ways. I want to assume that what they mean by success is the richest. I am going to come to that. The NBS in its reports revealed that Northwest has the highest number of poor people in Nigeria-71.4% while Southwest has the least-49.8%. South-east has 59.5% below the poverty line. Talking about the richest, I will use the most reliable source for this. There are 12 Nigerians on the list of Africa's richest by Forbes Magazine. Three northerners- Dangote, Rabiu and Danjuma; Three easterners- Kalu, Elumelu and Ovia; Five westerners-Adenuga, Alakija, Otedola, folawiyo and Otudeko. Osagie is also on the list but not so sure of where he is from. What my friends fail to understand is that we all compliment each other. That you are best known for something does not mean others do not have their strength too. They are not the most successful, They are part of our success stories so also our failings as a nation.

Myth #3- 50 percent of people living in Lagos are Igbos. There is no reliable stats to prove or disprove this assertion. The last governorship election in the state has however provided us with some clues. Judging by the voting pattern in Lagos, areas mostly dominated by the Igbos voted for PDP. We expect that if they are up to 50 percent, while other tribes- Yorubas, Edos, Efik, etc PDP should have won the election.

Myth #4- Biafra is the Solution to their problems. According to them, the rest of the country is holding them down. If they have Biafra today, the sky will be their beginning. South Eastern States today, just like most states in the country rely on Federal Allocation. Biafra will still have to bank on the probability that south-south will join them as well. Segregation is not your solution, a country where equity and justice are held sacrosanct is your solution. Today South Sudan are faced with the same problem they had when they were with Sudan.

That's a pool party, you can bribe yourself onto the stage if you got what the bouncers ask.

Do you see a microphone in his hand? Is he singing?

In that show, he's just your typical fan that bribed a bouncer to let him in. Shikena!!

Most likely you are lazy. The amount of cry babying and whining you've been doing, I actually don't blame them for bullying you. I wish I was there when they were calling you lazy, I would have joined them and called you a baby too.

#annoying @ss nigg@. Mtchewwww

bigfrancis21:
Is that what he has been doing? Invading every single Igbo thread to butt urhobo into the conversation? Lol.

Yes and it's annoying as hell too.

Always desperately seeking attention, and the irritating about is is that SE Igbos give him that attention.
I don't know about anyone else but it's irritating. I can't stand attention seeking mofos. The dude needs to go get a f2king life jor.

OgagaMic:
yea. bt ur attitude towards others is annoying, jst imagine d igbos in Delta, warri call us lazy lot, or
fools, some even call us dirty, hw do u expect us to feel, in our own land ?

I luv d Igbos, and any other tribe, bt there attitude towards. us non Igbo is bad, am nt speaking for myself any SS man can confirm wat I jst said, Some igbos will say Urhobo has no origin, jst imagine hw silly is that.

#sad

OMFG your attention seeking is f2king RIDICULOUS!!!!! Dude go get a life or better yet find a hobby. Stop looking for attention from igbo people. We no semd you. In almost EVERYSINGLE thread about igbos as of late, I see your post everywhere whining about some BS and shouting urhobo everywhere even when noone called, mentioned or send you.

Like nigg@ STOP with the attention seeking!!!! No f2king body gives a flying f2k about you or whatever the he11 you keep whining about. Like seriously, stop invading every single igbo thread you can find to butt yourself and urhobo into the conversation. Like Wtf?

#annoying as hell

Phut:
Don't mind the anumanu. Misquoting and contradicting himself all over the place. Babyosisi had already posted the google book source where it said Igbo males where despised. She actually posted a screen shot of the page. Leave him to continue typing his falsified rubbishing. While falsifying, he tripped himself up by contradicting himself. Uburu kpoi kpoi

He deliberately avoided posting the link or name of his exempts cause he knows even it kicked his @ss. Too bad he forgot you can actually trace down a book based on the quotes from it. he tried to be a cunningly snake like most of his peeps and it back fired on him. Lol

bigfrancis21:
There is problem with this claim because actual figures on yoruba slaves sold actually say the opposite.

Don't be deceived by the number of ifa worshippers to believe that every single one of them is yoruba-descended. Ifa is a religion to these people, and many people join the religion to reconnect culturally back to mama africa.

I'm not going to argue on who got sold the highest with you. That's not something to even feel mighty on so I'm going to end my convo on that here. Goodluck on that

sukkot:
anyway am outtt like last year. it was nice kicking your ass my biafran friends. a lesson in humility was dished out tonight. be more humble and you will have less enemies

Is this dude running away. We are still waiting on your well documented proves.

You can't find it anymore?

bigfrancis21:
This is not a theory to be easily said by mere wish of the mouth. To establish a theory as fact, you need to come up with hard evidence. Contributions of african peoples to the slave trade was done by regions, not individual tribes, thus the central african region came first (with tribes such as kimbundu, kongo, ovibundu, etc), next is the bight of benin (dahomey-togo tribes, benin republic tribes, ghanaian tribes, yoruba), then bight of biafra (one country mostly - Nigeria including Igbos, Ibibios and Ijaws). Regionally, bight of benin comes second and bight of biafra third, however individually by tribe, the Igbos trumped the Yorubas in numbers.

Dude he is right what you are posting are links to where bight of biafran slaves were dropped more so than others.

There were more Yoruba slaves than Igbo and bright of biafran slaves. The South America actually sorted out for more slaves than the America and English speaking caribbean where bright of Biafra slaves were predominantly dropped at.

sukkot:
did you read where it said Ibo slaves were tractable and hence why they were mostly wanted in america ? did i google the word tractable for you ? CASE CLOSED

From that same book. The same place where you got that quote said and I quote, also posted above for verification.

"Igbo men were depised and the igbo women loved. Though igbo men sales was about the same rate as the women until it dropped due to preference for the women".

Also on that exact book, it equally stated and I wuote, also posted for reference, "igbo were not "refuse" slaves actually preferred because of the independent stance of the igbo women".

Nigga maybe next time actually read the entire portion of the book before jumping to it.

There are several books justifying that igbo women were docile and actually wanted by the slave master. Likewise, the same for other rebellious slave group women. Name one slave rebellion that started by women? We are talking about the men or did you forget what the convo was about aka SLAVE REBELS.

Even from your own post book it actually stated igbo men were depised. Try harder. We are still waiting.

Btw: avoiding to post the link or name where you get your exempts ain't going to stop us from researching what you provided. we all saw what you tried to do there. Thank God for Google books

[quote author=sukkot post=33395892][/quote]Dumbass. LMFAO. you actually just justified what all have been saying. Your book was talking about igbo women. We were talking about the men. Every African slaves women were docile including the notorious mandigo, akan, wolof, Angolan and even igbo hence the reason most rebellion were done by men. None of us have ever denied the igbo women were docile. Duh...we know that

From the same book in which you delebrately tried to avoid post the link

You noticed where iit said the igbo were preferred mostly for the wonen. Igbo men were deposed while igbo women loved. Igbo unwanted in loud Ian and much more more.

All that paragraph from the same book, Slavery and African Ethnicities in the Americas: Restoring the Links By Gwendolyn Midlo Hall.

Lmfaooo. Next. I'm waiting

bigfrancis21:
In your pathetically slow state, you 'smartly' overlooked the part in your purported article that mentions that the majority of the slaves taken from bight of biafra were Igbos. How many ejaghams were taken out of biafra in total? 10? Maybe 15? What is your current population to have sustained a huge constant suupply of ejagham slaves? You would rather turn around and lay your curse on Igbos for repeating what research and history has confirmed rather than tackle the researchers themselves who have the evidence.

And please do not fail to produce at least one afro-descended person whose DNA testing points to the ejagham tribe. And equally, tables detailing slave imports/exports by ethnicity and the numbers of ejaghams taken from bight of biafra. Let us see how substantial and numerous the ejaghams were to have been so pervasive in virginia to have been resonsible for the Nsibidi writings on the grave stones in Virginia.

That reborn account is most likely a yoruba. I can bet a billion on that and win it gracefully. Notice, just notice that account is recent and ironically all the post is on this thread ALONE. It just your typical yoruba coward using others as shield like always. I can bet you my life that nigga is not ejegham. After on this thread alone, the only that seem pained from the topic is, YORUBA. # spits on the floor about that pathetuc, worthless tribe

sukkot:
if i google it will come up with millions of links. i cant remember the particular article because i have deleted it from my computer a year or two ago. so i have to hope the article is on the first three pages of google and then i have to sift through each article. i am not going to accomplish that in 5 minutes. its called RESEARCH. i will need about an hour to do this. hope that makes sense to you

So your own research is different from the same research the rest of us did. Is it not the same google we all used to find links, books, etc we provided to you. Or do you think we scratched and pulled our yansh and those links, books, etc magically appeared on our computer, laptop, phone, etc. Nwoke, commot from here. Spin another story. Mr history teacher.

Btw: You were already given more than an hour. Since THE Last Time YOU Said "I have To Look IT up" . More than 2 hrs have passed

sukkot:
you will get your documents. you just have to be patient. not a common trait amongst you biafrans. patience, that is

How long does it take to provide one proof of all You've been saying which according to you is well documented. How long? we all have been answering questions and still giving links or book. You on the other hand have been talking but yet have not provided anything; when asked why, your reply is because you've been answering question. Abeg see this one. How long does it take to provide ONE proof, we not even asking for many, just ONE proof of your well documented history.

Mr history teacher, Oya why you come dey teach nonsense

babyosisi:
The land where Obas and male governors bleach talking about Igbo women bleaching
Hahahahaha
Which Yoruba actress is not bleaching[b]
You need to see Yoruba women in America
The bleaching craze is pathetic

Lmfaooo. What we seeing from that one is pure jelousi.
He went from red eboe was not named after igbo, provide proof, him waka run. I did it for him,he started talking about stories of more slaves in caribbean than whites
Then he went to igbo slaves are docile, provide proof him don dey shift goal. You provided it for him and he started story that there were more slaves in the Caribbean than whites hence the more rebellion. That usa slaves didn't rebel.
His usa slaves didn't rebel story was challenged by akanigbo. He continued to run mouth, Oya provide proof, him story changed to few rebels.
Now his new story is that there are no lightskin igbo, all light na bleach yet europeans, AA, Caribbean, etc already documented on lightskin igbo way before bleach was created.

Our self claimed historian. Chei!!

That dude jealousi eeh. Him jealous eeh, even Hatorade don dey look am like

At the bold, tell me about it. It's like they want to kill themselves with skincancer. Funny thing when you see them, you automatically know the skin is not natural. Anyway na their life, if them wan kill thselves. That's their own.

babyosisi:
Please where is this person from?

He's yoruba so what do you expect. If he wanted to troll, idk why he doesn't troll with half his sense or even a quarter. He is just giving us more proof to justify the current education Stats in Nigeria. Hmm na wa oo.

sukkot:
the rebellions in the USA were very few and far between. the reason why the slave rebellions made history in USA is because they were very few. and if they happened it made the world papers. and the two rebellions in question are the nat turner rebellion and the gabriel prosser rebellion. of course we had the slave rebellion led by the white man named JOHN BROWN that failed in virginia

Dude stop telling us your opinion and back it up with proof. We've all been asking you to do so. So far your so called "self-claimed" historian is showing his extreme lack of history. It was recorded that AA group had one of the highest history of slave revolution outside the English speaking caribbean nations plus haiti.
Just do us a favour and start backing up your post

rusher14:
You may well be a renowned historian but please provide proof to back up you claims of the easily subdued nature of the Igbo slave.

Biko help me ask am. I think about four asked him the same thing and he still have not provided one proof. We are still waiting oo

MeandSum:
he asked you to prove what your said you're asking him to google for ibo. what has google got to do with that?

MeandSum:

She is right and the sukkot guy is wrong.

The red eboe, a jamacian/caribbean term was derived from the presence of the igbo slaves, whom they also call eboe


The attached book is a portion of the ddictionary of Jamaican english by Federic Cassidy et al.

AkanIgbo:
It is my hobby too. I can save you a lot of time and tell you right now that the Akan people were by far the most rebellious slaves. The second most rebellious group were the Igbos. Those two groups overthrew the slavers in in Haiti and Jamaica. The slavers in South Carolina and Georgia didn't want anymore Igbo slaves, because they constantly rebelled and worst yet committed suicide. One of the scariest slave to have was an Akan. Nat Turner in the US was of Akan descent and possibly even Igbo due to his being from Virginia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nat_Turner

Fwiw, you know that Yoruba people were not that rebellious as compared to Igbo people for a lot of reasons. Mainly, because slavery ended in the USA in 1865 after a prolonged brutal bloody civil war that the slaves participated within. Slavery didn't end in Brazil until 1888, which was 23 years after slavery ended in the USA. The crazy part about it is that the slaves in the USA were in the minority of the population; they have never been the majority. The black people in Brazil have always been in the majority of the population until just recent years.

No it was wolof. Wolof were the most rebellious, followed by Akan then Igbo and finally Angolan clans

sukkot:
i went to school in chicago and london so whats your point ? relax. i gotta hunt for the document. like i said i had it in my archives when i was gung ho about the slavery history of america but i am over that phase and i decluttered my archives and deleted it. but i will dig in google. i am sure i will find it

You said if you want documentation on why igbo slaves were wanted in VA, I'll provide it suggesting you already got it but when told to provide, story change to I have to go look for it. this is what happened when you speak from your an us without any justification to back you up.
Anyway, I'll be Waiting on it. I'm interested to see the documentation that goes against every other written documentation of AA history. I'm very interested in to see that documentation.
