What actually save them is because Fulani couldn't not conquer Yoruba. Had it been that Yoruba were conquered, the whole south would have gone by now. Igno and chest beating
no... if dan fodio jihad had been successful in benue, they would have been colonized by the fulanis .. enugu and ebonyi borders benue state..
And they were not united as at then

my list is

igbo the most hated tribe in Nigeria.no tribe in this world would survive what igbos is surfering in nigeria
fulani conquest .
Yoruba , very tactical but been drawn back by religion , without Yorubas biafra would have easily overrun Nigeria .
That is the more reason the Igbos hate yorubas, they know if they try shit, yorubas will teach them lesson like in the past. But we are on our own lane.

LOL. You outran and sold who to who?

You better watch your tongue. If you know who Ndigbo are, you should know that we adore competition and detest stupidity. I won't argue your slave-master relationship with Ika which is officially not considered as Igbo for now but when you say Igbo nation again, don't blame anyone for what might come your way.
Your entire Benin land fell under a day to Biafran forces. I don't think if such is repeated that there will be any difference.
Apart from the Fulani that owned the entire Hausa as slaves, I doubt there is any group in Nigeria that had more slaves than Ndigbo. A slave population so big that they are part of caste. Where do you think those slaves come from? If not from Minorities like you people, Igala and Ijaw.
The fact is nobody, I repeat NOBODY dared raid Igboland. The Fulani that are trying to attempt it in this generation have a good story to tell their well wishers like the Yellow Bar and you guys.
Story, story....Story.

Papapapapapapa only mouth like someone eating beans cake.

See this one claiming to have igala as slave, are you fooling your fellow shitgbo or what.

We have and know the history of how igala enslaved you Igbos.

You can keep fooling your mumu tribe atleast, it will give you joy.

its Surprising that you are here trying desperately to prove a "point" and in doing so, exposing the obvious about Yoruba "lamentations about gallantry"

From time immemorial its a known fact that of the 3 major tribes ...the tribe decimated by "Women" are the Yoruba.

You guys make alot of noise and you rant senselessly believing the nonsense you regurgitate and use it as fact.

A typical example of your "stupid and fake" history ..is that your Ancestor "fell from the sky"... angry angry angry angry angry..who feeds you guys with that thrash??


Guy the PIC below...was an ancient pictorial of Dahomey women warriors that killed Yoruba men with ease. These women used the heads of your ancestors as a "TARGET PRACTICE" angry angry angry angry


In Nigeria its a known fact that you guyz are cowards...Spits!!

You are complete ode.

There is no way you people can change history, the Diomey themselves know the history and they acknowledge it.

Your own tribe us the most useless tribe with no history of war.

We don't talk of war between armies, I mean civilian war.

Yorubas had with fulanis and won

With Diomey and won that is egba people.

Can you name any for Igbo, no.

You people have no history.

When those wars were taken place, your tribe were dining with monkeys in the bush.

I hate all these ethnic/ tribal bashings here. But let's say the truth for once and shame the devil. The word Yoruba and Bravery can never be in the same sentence. Are you aware that the Fulani Herdsmen that killed people on Saturday at Igangan all ran away and are now camped at another village which is well known to the natives of Igangan and Yorubas as well. Two days after, they came back and attacked a Police station and killed three Policemen for aiding the hunters in killing four of their men. I felt very very bad when a friend from there called me to tell me that they are aware where these evil guys are camped. I equally read on newspaper of one Yoruba monarch also saying the same thing and even called the name of the place where the Fulanis are. My friend told me that they can't enter that forest and even the Amotekun guys and their local Opc members are afraid to do so. Now coming to the case of bravery, can Fulanis kill Jukun people and still went to take refuge in a Jukun village or forest, Can they try it with Ijaws and still hide in Ijaw bushes and Ijaw boys won't go there to deal with them, can it happen in Igboland without their Nnamdi Kanu ESN entering that bush. Till now, nobody is talking of entering that bush. Rather they are looking for Fulani soft targets to attack. I feel very bad that a whole tribe like Yoruba can't defend themselves at a time like this. They so much love life and don't want to die forgetting that the people they are dealing with are hardened terrorists that cannot be appeased.
Really hahahahaha. I am so sure you are OSU Igbo ok.

Now, we all saw the pictures of the part of the fulanis that were killed by Yoruba youth during the attack while the remaining ran away.

Now, I dare you to show me the picture of just one of the fulanis that attacked ebonyi Igboland and killed over 85 of you Igbos in two separate attacks just last month, kidnapping your sisters and mothers in the process and destroyed your home join.

I hate mouth and chest beating, just put me to shame please and provide the picture and video evidences of the Fulani you online warriors killed during the attack grin

The bravest tribe in Nigeria are the Yoruba people.
The most cowardly tribe in Nigeria are the Igbos followed by the shivering come-in-the night cowardly marauders caled
Talk is always cheap but to prove the cowardice of Yorubas is very hard because they are born considerate warriors.

Only not up to 200 Yoruba soldiers defeated battalons of loud mouthed,shivering cowardly biafran army at Ore.

Ibadans who are just a 'sub' of Yoruba defeated very large army of hausa and fulanis in the Jalumi war.

Egba,another Yoruba group defeated the mighty Fon who have never tasted defeat before in all their conquests in Africa.

Yoruba brave soldiers were the cynosures of every eyes in the Nigeria civil war because of their exploits.People like Benjamin Adekunle,Gbadamosi King,Alani Akinrinade etc.

The only cowards that run from any battle at all are the Igbos and their warlords.They have names examples are coward Ojukwu who dressed like a prostitute to flee to Ivory Coast.Another is Coward Nnamdi Kanu who is hiding in a stuffy room somewhere in the UK.

What pains most Igbos is that Banjo,a brave Yorubaman, was chosen by the Coward Ojukwu to lead Cowardly Biafrans in the only real war they have fought in their entirely cowardly lives.

Igbos were taken like goats as slaves by the small Ijaw groups.

Igbos were colonised by small Igala group.

What cowardice from a cowardly Igbo tribe.

Source:Britannica
Don't forget, a Yoruba man was the one that lead the so called biafrans before they decided to come and meet his own people and he refused.

They thought he will act as bastard.

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.
Oga, Igbo have no war history, that is the fact.

Ilorin was the then capital of the Oyo Empire, technically if your enemies capture your capital where all your treasures are, Your Defeated

Yorubas didn't play any damned role in the victory of Nigeria during the biafra war, just stayed neutral like a typical Coward

Fulanis are a minority tribe in Nigeria for them to be so infamous is already a sign of greatness

All you said is correct, but for a little misrepresentation of fact, Igbo's did not lose the civil war, a war that was termed No victor No vanquished has no winner nor loser rather a truce. True we lost more civilian lives but Nigeria lost more Military personels.

Same way Vietnam lost more lives but won the war against U.S for their decision to pull out of the war because of the lives of military personnels lost. If Nigeria didn't agree to a ceasefire or truce, No victor No vanquished the war would have raged on till this day either as a regular warfare or guerilla warfare.

Nigeria's agreement to a no Victor no Vanquished was to her own advantage and in her best interest than Biafra. In conclusion Igbo's did not lose that war it was a truce tagged no Victor no Vanquished. Also bear in mind that is the most modern and sophisticated warfare ever fought in Africa and the Igbo's fought to a stalement.

As for those debating the bravery of the Igbo people, please note Igbo's are the only Ethnic group to fight a modern warfare in Nigeria and Africa. Igbo's are the only Ethnic group to challenge the Fulani in Nigeria and in this administration, Igbo's are the only Ethnic group that defend themselves any where they find themselves be it in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa wherever. That said Igbo's still remains the most peaceful ethnicity in Nigeria.

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
Slaves!!!
You like joking or you are serious that you know nothing about Jaja of Opobo.
Jaja of Opobo was sold by a fellow Igbo man. The name of the man that sold Jaja of Opobo was Obua Ajukwu from Oguta which is in present Imo state.
Till date, Ijaw dare not step into Igbo land with aggression. You think we are Yorubas that count scores with Ijaw.
If you know a bit about Jaja story, you will know that his seller and other slave traders which are Igbo used the island as their market. The island itself is Igbo owned.
Jaja's case is strictly an Igbo business, no interference from bust bodies needed

Was Biafra an Igbo only affair? What about the Efiks or other tribes that were also apart of Biafra? You are supplanting their contribution as if they didn't share your cause. The only tribe in Africa to fight a war is clearly false as there are multiple examples all over Africa like the Tigrays of East Africa and the Tuaregs of Mali who fought modern warfare.

Igbo's are the only Ethnic group to challenge the Fulani in Nigeria
Actually Yorubas and other groups like the Kanuris and Jukuns have fought the Fulani Jihadists and have won multiple battles against the Fulanis prior to the creation of Nigeria.

and in this administration, Igbo's are the only Ethnic group that defend themselves any where they find themselves be it in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa wherever. That said Igbo's still remains the most peaceful ethnicity in Nigeria.

Igbos defend themselves all over Africa, but how do they become the ONLY tribe that defend themselves in Nigeria and all those countries?
