I want you to understand something.

Cassava was introduced to Ndigbo and Yoruba people the same year.

Now look at both of us.
Ndigbo have used the cassava given to them to develop "Abacha, garri, akpụ for swallow etc and in the Biafran war brewed Beer from it.
But you, almost hundred years since it was introduced to you yorubas you have not developed anything from it apart copying Igbo garri that till now you haven't learnt from us how to make it yellow to reduce the toxicity of it.

Instead of hating, if you Yorubas calm down you would learn alot of science and Innovation from Ndigbo.

I have noticed that same shit for quite a long time. the mods are so disgusting.

The Oka blacksmiths couldn't crack how to make barrel of guns fast enough.
That was the Achilles hill that made the whites defeat us.
Oka blacksmiths were so skilled, they could replicate any metallic ware/technology they set their eyes on.
They could make all parts of a gun, but the barrel.

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.

The Yoruba ex Slaves from Brazil taught them a lot of things

Another day another thread this time you miscreants have left the Ijaws n are now going to the west.

In summary from the write up, ibos are the first dwellers of Nigeria.
In fact, all other tribes are migrants.

Until lions tell their story, the tales of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.

Now let me shock you. Do you know that the Anglo-Aro war in Igboland cost Britain more resources, time and soldiers than what they call Bini Empire?

1. Aro expedition took 5 months while Bini took 9 days.

2. Aro expedition was fought on more than 10 fronts with major battles numbering 7, while Bini was two massacres, one was deliberate while the second was as a punishment.

3. Arọ shocked Britain by digging trenches to evade bullets while Bini didn't show any invention.

4. Arọ expedition cost Britain advanced weapons and manpower numbering 1,550 soldiers of which at least 700 died while the Bini expedition cost Britain 1,200 soldiers no mortar or advanced weaponry and barely recorded any casualty.

Now, answer me one question, between Aro and Bini, who is qualified to call herself an Empire?

Igboid:


Oka blacksmiths eventually cracked gun barrel hurdle, but it was too little too late.

Any evidence to prove that Yoruba blacksmiths could Indigenously make gun barrels in precolonial/colonial era.
I mean before 1914?

There were about 2000 plus British soldiers who took part in the expedition. The resistance put up by The Aros was a fierce one.

I think the Ada and Eben every Oba uses as symbol of authority was made by Oka smiths.

It was more than that if you include reinforcements. They continue to narrow it down so they settled for this number.

But anyhow they put it, if you look at the number you will notice that Aro took out more than half of the soldiers.
So they understood that they were dealing with civilised people unlike in Bini where they marched unchallenged, massacred and burnt down houses only to turn around and glorify them in bid to downplay those that stood up to them so that there won't be any repetition.

Imagine if Ndigbo grew up learning these histories, knowing how courageous their ancestors were, do you think that we will tolerate nonsense from anybody?
This is why Britain glorified those that made it easy for them, people like Bini and The Caliphate.

You won't see Britain glorify Igbo

In your Dreams

Akpu ( Fufu) and Garri were both brought too you
They were both a staple diet initially eaten by Yoruba ex Slaves from Brazil
and Popular in Yorubaland
you were even shown how to soak Garri in Water

That doesn’t mean Mr Okafor was not a very good Blacksmith

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!

let me shock you.
The Yoruba was conquered by the "missionary"

BKayy:

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

The Yoruba Blacksmiths who were ex Brazilian Slaves Started Arriving in the 1840s

BKayy:

So you Yorubas owe your history to returned slaves from Brazil who learnt a little of Portuguese and native Indians ways.
This speaks volumes of our difference in civilisation. But so that you know, Ndigbo have already started civilising Yorubas before slavery started.
