Maybe a thread on manilla?

GuyfawkesAB:
You are just all wailing for nothing. This doesn't diminish the civilization of other African grouos nor does it make the Igbo superior. That the Oka men forayed into Yorubaland and brought the improvement of using screws instead of nails for gun assembly doesn't mean they taught the Yorubas metal working.

The Nupes were already great metal workers and their influences cuts across the central part of Nigeria. Ottoman gun trading even came as far as Oyo empire. The Oyo calvary numbered over a thousand horses and they were all armed with Turkish muskets and local guns made by their blacksmiths.

There's a lot to be learnt from history, but rather than learn and make the most of the information it avails, you puffed-up ethno-rascals are running daft all over the place trying to place your d*cks beside other to prove that yours is longer or you taught them how to use their own d*cks

Make una go rest una senseless brains

GTFOH with your yaribanza fraudulent history. u lot knew next to nothing in making Guns, Oyo empire ni oyo empire ko.

appreciate the Igbos who taught your people how to make double-barrel guns and short guns.

that's if your ancestors really learn am at all.

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

Lol, copying who hahahahaha, when ijebu garri is the best garri that we all know it is truth.

Which igbo garri, you mean the ones that float inside hot water when use to make eba.

Your garri don't even get taste. I had to continue ordering for garri from home when I was serving cos I can't take una garri.

Drinking, it is poor. Oga are you dreaming

why are the mods hiding this thread.

It was Christianity that Civilised Igboland any Stranger that went beyond Onitsha before then was likely to become Somebody’s dinner

Even in Onitsha it was the Benin Influences that prevented that from happening

You are very correct about this.

BKayy:

Cassava was introduced in 16th century my dear.
Besides, most slaves (more than 50%) of slaves in Brazil are from Angola and Congo
And returned slaves are more pronounced in Liberia and Sierra leone than any other west African country.

Let me educate you, Akara and Moi Moi are made from mashed beans not Cassava.

So what have you Yorubas made out of cassava since 500 years it was introduced to you people?

Ndigbo made Abacha, kokoro etc from it so what have you people made out of it?

Brownish Amala(Lafun) which is different from amala made from yam. Garri, we all know yoruba have the best garri.

I know you will want to claim garri just as you are claiming egunsi, that is una way. Claiming what is not yours.

I am even surprised you haven't claimed cassava as yours.

Not only we made garri and lafu from cassava, we also made amala from yam and plantain.

What have you people made from yam and plantain, nothing. Absolute nothing.

Christistruth00:



In Yorubaland there was a War Strategy that involved luring the enemy fighters into areas infested with Killer Bees and then Shooting at them with a hail of Poisoned Arrows Which tips had been dipped in Snake Venom




Yorubas were bad

That Bkayy is a small baby.

From cassava, we made Garri, Lafun.

From yam, we made Amala

From plaintain, we made amala and pounded plantain.


The boy is a learner.

I love how you deal with them here. Thumb up.

BKayy:

I will have to stop you right there. Even till date you Yorubas don't know how to make Garri for swallow and your Garri (most notably Ijebu Garri) can't soak if introduced to water. It floats if you put it after adding water.

This explains the superiority in our creativity. Igbo Garri soaks any how you put it. Igbo owns Yellow Garri. Igbo Garri for swallow is still the best both in nutrients and texture.

Now that's aside, my dear stop fooling yourself moi moi and akara are made from beans, anything made like them that is not from beans will have another name.

In conclusion, You Yorubas couldn't and did not develop anything from cassava after 500 years that it was introduced to you.

Next topic

Lol, now I know you don't know what you are saying.

Comparing your garri to ijebu garri is the most stupid thing one can do.

Your garri has no taste, it floats when put in cold or hot water. That is just the fact. When my brother was in PH, I always wonder why he kept ordering for garri from home, not until I went there and garri finished, I wanted to drink went to buy small, it was then I realised why he said he doesn't buy garri over there that he prefers to spend double money on bringing it from home.

I had to pour the garri away that day and didn't take any until another garri from home arrived the third day.

Your brain seethes with pungent inferiority complex. You are sinking, and fast too. And any straw of self importance you can grab onto to prove to no one that you actually better than how you are seen is futile. No true warrior sings his own praise. Only a coward and inferior one goes all around telling everyone he is great.

Run along and go and suck on some Mkpurumiri crystals

So Igbos transformed Afonjaland and took them away from their primitive ways with mind-blowing inventions.

Shut your dirty mouth smelling ethnic extremist, technology transfer between cultures and civilizations is the bedrock of human innovation.

Look at it, Gunpowder/silk from South/Southeast Asia through the silk road to Europe then to Africa through the transatlantic trade with Europe, this technology comes to coastal communities then to the hinterland where it gets modified to fit local realities

LOL. You now insult other Garri with the features of your own. That proves that yours is the worst.

The only Garri that floats in Nigeria is Ijebu Garri

As a business man, the only way you can know a better product is from customers review, that is the one that displaces the other in market.

In all markets you will see Igbo Garri displacing others, even in Ijebu herself, Igbo Garri beats her own even though Ijebu Garri have home advantage but you can never see Ijebu Garri in Igbo markets across Igboland. The few Yoruba people that want it have to smuggle it from Yorubaland because it is bad market in East due to its low quality

In Oyo and Osun States they sometimes mix Garri inside Grounded Beans and use it to make Akara and Moinmoin that is very heavy and filling

Go to UK, US and see how ijebu garri is trending.

Your brothers that knows the truth can testify.

My friends that we served together from east, south and north don't joke with the garri when I bring it. They come come and collect, so i always add their mouth to it whenever i am ordering it.

Your garri that you will pour and white dust will be coming out of it. Is that one garri or poison.

Ijebu Garri outside Nigeria? you are the Funniest ignoramus I have seen this year.

Until Ijebu Garri is cured from Cyanogenic glycoside which is in Cassava itself , it can never meet the international nutritional standards and as such will be continued to be considered as poison over seas. Any Ijebu Garri you see outside SW is smuggled without the authorities of the regulatory agencies to be consumed by ignorant Yorubas alone.

You can never see anybody selling Ijebu Garri in SE. If any try, he will be arrested

Ijebu Garri is poison because of its high cyanide content. The only way to remove those Cyanogenic Glycoside is by using what we use that turns it to yellow Garri. I won't tell what it is you so that you lots will keep on looking sick and systematically continue to lose sight (blind) as a result of Cyanogenic glycoside accumulation in your eye lenses.

Comparing your poison with our actual food is an insult only ignoramuses make.

come and learn your history.

This take that manilla was invented (as a form of currency) by Igbo is interesting and perhaps doubtful. At least, I doubt it. The nature of the manilla identified among the Igbo Ukwu artifacts doesn’t match the known manilla and iron rod currencies used by the Portuguese, Lower Niger and Congolese. I mean, the meaning of “manilla” has been rendered variously as ring, bracelet, neckband, brass collars, etc. typically of metallic nature. So technically, anything in this category is a “manilla”. So the native “manilla” from Igbo Ukwu was still manilla, but it’s style (and composition) makes it clear that it is unrelated to the same set of manilla and rod currencies that were used as a medium of exchange. In other words, the Igbo Ukwu “manilla” artifact was not of the same type as those traded during the Portuguese era.

Igboid:

SlayerForever:
Maybe a thread on manilla?

Whenever you all can, do make the thread to share any information you may have. The question of currency has always been a question I’ve had, but found very little by way of resources to answer. I believe the history of currency in the area could help me answer some of my personal questions about the chronology of various events in the Lower Niger region. And this topic of manilla is still somewhat of an open-ended question within the academia. Whatever you all have to share would be great.

Wow ! I thought you were joking until I checked it up and found out it was a scientific fact, Jesus!

Addition of palm oil before flying the Garri reduces the cyanide content significantly!

How did our parents know this without going to school or carrying out any experiment?

Impressive stuff!

I don't say things for the sake of talking, and I joke with Igbo history and accomplishments.

The whites are now trying to make the discovery look like accident, but they forgot that they never told our ancestors that Garri was toxic.

Our ancestors discovered it was toxic by themselves and as far as I, Ndigbo and reasonable black Africans are concerned, after series of experiments discovered the cure which it palm oil. The whites after seeing a black race (Ndigbo) discover what they couldn't are trying to suppress the achievement.

The whites don't eat Garri because of it, but when it got to the Great Ndigbo, we cured the poison.

To them, their own is discoveries but when black do his own it will be considered an accident. Ndị ara

One thing Ndigbo should do now is to document their achievements, especially on the Food aspect.
Ndigbo should document our traditional food before it turns to everybodys own.

You see this yellow garrri, when most Nigerians understand the marvelous discovery behind it, every ethnic group especially the Yorubas that are comparing it with their poison (Ijebu garrri) will try to claim co-ownership. And when they do, they will hype it with their media.

If you can remember, they once argued about Egwusi and if care is not taken might do the same for Ọgbọnọ in the future.

Infact, some times I wonder what the job of Ọhaneze Ndigbo is. This is supposed to be one of their Job.

True.
Eguisi is now called general Nigerian food, including Ogbono.
Even Yorubas and other ethnicities are now dragging it.

I had to break down the meaning of Ogbono to a Yoruba man to show him that it is an Igbo food.
Ogbo= when it boils
Ono= it becomes slimy.

Ogbono when broke down in it's original Igbo words means something that when boiled becomes slimy.

Yeah. You are right, we need our foods patented and full credits given to us.
