Are talking the Fulani who were defeated during the Akagbe War at the Udenu and Igbo Eze axis? There is nothing such as Fulani in the current episode but Nigerian armed forces doing the bidding for them because of the silly head of state.
Oga keep quiet, nothing like akagbe war. Why is it not on Google. Abi which imaginary war is that.

The only tribe that defeated Fulani is history is yorubas and is on everywhere to read.

Things like this are ought to be confirmed in person. Life and direct
Oga keep quiet there, Fulani killed and kidnapped your sisters in ebonyi and took them to forest. Which forest is that, is it western or southern forests, is it not your so called eastern forest.

Presently, none of your kidnapped sister is back and your so called ESN have not done anything to it and they are there in that your forest raping your sisters unchallenged.

1.) Unlike yorubas, Igbos were not conquered by menstruating lady fighters from Dahomey.

2.) Most improtantly, Igbo do not have any symbol of slavery like the yorubas do with the fulani Emirate in illorin, yorubaland.

The list is factual.

Those ladies were women warriors that only 2 of them will defeat the whole Igboland cowards.They have never been defeated in their numerous wars.
As powerful as they were only Egba defeated them.Yorubas have never been defeated.We are not weaklings like you Igbos that small Igala colonised and destroyed all your identity.You now claim Nri which is owned by the Igalas.Slaves!!

So this slavery of a tin those days was not all about wars sometimes it was about been at the wrong place at the wrong time.If u are unfortunate u fall into the hands of slave raiders.

Slave raiders were good at raiding travelers and small unsuspecting communit
have heard anyone taken Ijaw person slave??

Ijaws are the only people were not in america as slaves..
Thats why Ijaws are not in diaspora as other tribes..

Ijaws remain the chief slaves traders...the bight of bony is not just name for nothing..

Slavery was documented.
We know the tales and documented legends of slave traders like Seriki (The Fulani man that sold almost half of Awori Yorubas and built permanent residence at Badagry) , Izuogu, Iheme etc.
Tell me one slave trader from the minority tribe and point out the one that was bold enough to step foot into Igboland.
You should have asked yourself why they are Minorities, ie why they are small in number

There were millions of Igbo slaves taken by the Ijaws but Jaja of Opobo was the only lucky one who later became a leader.
Ijaw takes an Igbo man as slave and tells him to clean his yansh.The Igbo slave has no option.He cleans the Ijaw man yansh with his bare hand. grin

Re: 5 Most Powerful/Brave Tribes In Nigeria * by jahrule: 9:53pm On Jun 09, 2021
What you term bravery is actually stupidity, the real brave and powerful people built empire.
Lelelalalele:
1. Igbo: Igbo, also called Ibo, people living chiefly in southeastern Nigeria who speak Igbo, a language of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family. The Igbo may be grouped into the following main cultural divisions: northern, southern, western, eastern or Cross River, and northeastern. Before European colonization, the Igbo were not united as a single people but lived in autonomous local communities. By the mid-20th century, however, a sense of ethnic identity was strongly developed, and the Igbo-dominated Eastern region of Nigeria tried to unilaterally secede from Nigeria in 1967 as the independent nation of Biafra. By the turn of the 21st century, the Igbo numbered some 20 million.



2. Igala: Igala, also spelled Igara, a largely Muslim people of Nigeria, living on the left bank of the Niger River below its junction with the Benue River. Their language belongs to the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo family. Their ruler, the ata, traditionally also governed two other groups, the Bassa Nge and the Bass Nkome, who live between the Igala and the Benue River.

Traditional Igala society was politically organized as a kingdom. Kings were divine and were surrounded by numerous taboos; they held elaborate courts attended by a host of officials and servants, many of them slaves and eunuchs. All divine kingdoms in Africa had customs that acted as checks on the power of the king. This included a custom in which the queen mother could chastise the king; she was the only individual who was able to do so under the taboo system.

The Igala have been primarily an agricultural people, growing a wide range of crops typical of the area, including yams, taro, pumpkins, squash, corn (maize), manioc, and peanuts (groundnuts). Palm oil and kernels have become significant as cash crops.



3. Fulani: Fulani, also called Peul or Fulbe, a primarily Muslim people scattered throughout many parts of West Africa, from Lake Chad, in the east, to the Atlantic coast. They are concentrated principally in Nigeria, Mali, Guinea, Cameroon, Senegal, and Niger. The Fulani language, known as Fula, is classified within the Atlantic branch of the Niger-Congo language family.



4. Kanuri: Kanuri, African people, the dominant element of the population of Bornu state in northeastern Nigeria and also found in large numbers in southeastern Niger. The Kanuri language is classified as belonging to the Saharan branch of the Nilo-Saharan family.



5. Bini: Edo, also called Bini, people of southern Nigeria who speak a language of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family. The Edo numbered about 3.8 million at the turn of the 21st century. Their territory is west of the Niger River and extends from hilly country in the north to swamps in the Niger Delta. Edo is also the vernacular name for Benin City, the centre of the Benin kingdom, which flourished from the 14th to the 17th century.

Presently, ESN has dislodged the 4th deadliest terrorist group in the world from Igbo forests. This one is not history. I'm sure you know Igbo fought a war with an odd of 4-1 against all of Nigeria backed by Russia, Britain, Egypt and Czechoslovakia. Military analysts who are whitemen said that Igbo would not have lost if the odd against them was 3-1. The only black tribe that could fight Western powers for 3 years while building their own weapons, roads and airstrips is not just a warrior tribe, but a great one.
What about heaven. You didn't fight against them?

Kidnapping a lone Igbo man in the bush and selling him as a slave takes nothing away from the fact that his tribe is brave. Even raiding an entire clan or village perhaps when they're asleep doesn't mean they're not brave. Slave raiders may have advantage of numbers or surprise as we are witnessing with Fulani raid on villages all across Nigeria. What we are talking about is a natural trait of bravery as seen in the confrontation of threats. Since Fulani started ethnic cleansing from Southern Kaduna to Adamawa, from Benue and now to Oyo, which ethnic groups have stood up to them except the Jukuns in Taraba and Igbo in the south? These things do not need high intelligence to understand. It is a reproducible fact that the Igbo, the Kanuri and the Jukuns are the warrior tribes of Nigeria. They should just remove Fulani from that list.
Which of the Igbo?

The one the fulanis killed over 85of them in two separate attacks few weeks ago or the ones shouting online?

Can you show the pictures of where you fight and kill the fulanis?

You're mistaken. Those were Igbos in Benue that bordered Ebonyi. It's like same community that was divided by state creation and a part in Benue and the other in Ebonyi. You have to understand that ESN is restrained because of state issues. That's why we advocate all Igbos should be in the same country irrespective of whether they're in SE, MB or SS. If those guys were in SE, there's no way the work of ESN would not have given them protection. Even I listened to IPOB telling Ortom to invite them to Benue officially. That Fulani killings would be history. And you say Igbo isn't the bravest tribe in Nigeria? I don't know about Africa, but there's no doubt you can't beat Igbo in terms of having warriors with the heart of lions. Which ethnic groups have resisted fulani since they started cutting wide swats in tears and blood except Igbo and Jukuns? Name one.
Stop changing narration, the people they attacked were Igbos from Ebonyi state.

Do you think Igbos are like your tribe? Dem never born any minority well to even think about encroaching Igboland to catch slaves.

Slaves from internal wars in Igboland were traded by Igbo merchants, eventually they landed in diverse places. An igbo merchant gifted a white traveller a hausa slave as a present.

I'm sure there were numerous Yoruba slaves in Igboland, although that's something Igbos don't care about.

Yoruba slave in Igboland hahahahaha and Igbo don't care about it. See changing of mouth hahahahaha.

I don't take igala slaves serious jere.

We all know the realm history between Igbo slave and their igala master. grin

Inside a country another country is know as biafra deserves an applaud


Yorubas have been historically cowards binis ransacked their lands for slaves, fulani sacked their empire and they only found bravery in waring themselves


Yorubas can never be a brave tribe, religion differences would always pull them back
Yet, the same yorubas is the bane of your civil war defeat.

And you wonder why your tribe hates the yorubas so much but cowardice can't allow you do or try any shit hahahahaha
