bomb24: The mods don't push educative content to the FP, Nigerians don't want content like this, they prefer sexual and all those irrelevant stuffs. I have created similar content, I even documented our sojourn to eastern yoruboid territory during the palm oil boom and that by the way influenced my argument with Igboid who appeared too paranoid. This thread was first created by him though. Also, notice how some people are already derailing by introducing tribal isssh, soon, the Yorubas will come in and then this thread will be Done for good. Original thread https://www.nairaland.com/6765286/early-igbo-sojourners-eastern-yorubaland A similar thread https://www.nairaland.com/5916221/look-urhobo-migration-okitipupa-other 2 Likes |

https://www.jstor.org/stable/3335053 I don't have access to this material. Anyone with access to it should open it, less see what is in it. Apparently we not only brought superior metallurgy to Yorubas, we brought to Edos as well. No surprises. You have to get to Edo before you get to Yoruba, if you are coming from Igboland. And we have Idumoka village in Igueben town in Esan. This village was founded by Oka blacksmiths and they were responsible for making the Eben and Ada of royal houses in Edo world. BKkay, Ekerealto, Slayerforever, Eastlink, I'm salivating at the content of this book. Please anyone with access should help us. 4 Likes

SlayerForever: Haha! I suspect this . But we need to bring evidence. Strong irrefutable ones. The type we brought to that Bonny thread. We are a Great race, but we have kept quiet for too long, so much that everyone around us have started taking our greatness for granted. Our ancestors achieved alot that we are not being given credit for today. We have to start telling our stories ourselves. For example, do you know that the money called "Manilla" used in the slave trade era as money, was invented by the Igbo. Yet if you go to Wikipedia page, you see that they listed Calabar as the origin of Manilla. This is because the colonials first saw Manilla at Calabar slave ports being used by Aros and Efiks for exchange of slaves . And in error, they accredited Calabar with the money. Even When Efiks are not known as blacksmiths, they have no iron ore minning sites in Efik land, so how could they have invented Manilla. Moreover even in Efik, Manilla is called Okpoho. Guess what? Okpoho is the name of Igbo blacksmith town in modern day Ezeagu LGA Enugu State where Manilla was traditionally minted and circulated all over Igboland and beyond. Okpoho people were like the CBN of Ancient Igboland, minting Okpoho aka "Ego-Igwe". Manilla is so Ancient to Igboland that it was even found among the materials buried in Igbo ukwu. We have alot of misinformation about Ndiigbo to correct. 6 Likes |

Christistruth00:Apparently, there is two types of Abacha, one is soaked in water while the other is done in a special garnish form. So, I don't have time to argue the obvious truth that you people don't think. Cassava was introduced before slavery, in the sixteenth(16th) century Answer me this simple question. What have Yoruba people developed from cassava after 500 years plus since it was introduced to them? I will help you with the answer, Nothing 3 Likes |

GOD BLESS OKPOGHO PEOPLE IN EZEAGU LGA OF ENUGU STATE - THE RED GOLD OF AFRICA!!!!!! Okpogho an ancient city of Igbo land, is an iron- smelting community in Ezeagu Lga that gave West Africa the first metallic currency known as Okpogho Manila. The innovation of this ancient metallic currency-ego igwe/ona was attributed to a great wawa man from the present Ezeagu Igbudu LGA. The name Okpogho which is the Efik fishermen's term for money or brass was given to this wawa iron maker; when people noticed that those precious bangles which he fashioned for his daughter Mgbolie could be used as a means of exchange of goods and services. The early Portuguese explorers of the 1470s observed that copper bangles "okpogho Manila" were the principle money all along the West Africa coast. The people of Okpogho will dig iron out of the ground and melt copper out of the stones to make a okpogho bangle. Through this process, the first metallic currency was introduced. Thus, the ancient monetization of the precolonial Ezeagu economy by Okpogho people brought international trade to Ezeagu area earlier than the 15th century. Since Okpogho Manila became the means of exchange, marketing activities took place among Ezeagu communities themselves and went to far countries like Mali, Cameroon, Burundi and Congo where Okpogho Manila had sphere of influence. In its inception, these bangle or Okpogho were predominantly made from copper as copper was referred to as " THE RED GOLD OF AFRICA ". The name Manila is derived from Spanish for a bracelet manella, the Portuguese for hand-ring or after the Latin Manu's(hand) or from monilia, plural of monile(necklace). God bless HRH Igwe Apostle Chimereze Linus Pius! God bless Chief Christian Chris Okpoko Isiakwu 1 of Okpogho! God bless ESD all over the world! 7 Likes |

Igboid: Meet Okpogho town in Ezeagu LGA, the minters of Manilla money used all over Igboland and beyond in precolonial and colonial era. Like the Awka they were blacksmiths, but unlike the Awka, Okpogho blacksmiths never left Okpogho. They were contented with sitting out home and minting the Manilla currency. Below is Okpogho currency logo aka Manilla in 100 Naira. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okpogho I think I should open a thread with this 4 Likes

engrchykae:I won't call British intrusion into Yoruba land as conquering but saving Yoruba people from wiping themselves out. When Britain arrived at Yorubaland, they were in the middle of a serious civil war they call "kiriji war', so Britain saved them instead of conquering them. It was saving not conquering 6 Likes |
