This is a different work of art from the earlier picture. Leg anklets, wrist anklets and finger rings became a thing in Nigeria after colonisation. The fashion accessories were exchanged for some slaves commodity.
As a matter of fact, smelting pre colonial were not fashion intended but for Agriculture purposes. farm implements and later into some crude hunting tools. In contrast, bracelets, anklets came with the arrival of the whites.

All you wrote is to you savages.
Ndigbo, Hausa and Kanuri have already mastered jewelleries before Europeans came.

Here is the picture of the account of the white British emissary "Baikie", when he attempted to buy one of those anklets the magnificent Igbo woman I posted her picture was wearing.
He noted that each cost an equivalent of whooping four able bodied slaves.

Damn Igbo women are goddesses that are adorned with wealth. Does an Afonja ugly woman deserve to wear something like that.
Can the whole of Afonja land afford to decorate one of them with such when the Alaafin does not even wear rubber.

PressMyButton as promised, here are the pictures of Igbo men rocking the ancient Igbo anklets that made you speak in tongues.

You know that poverty has tap root in Yorubaland. It has ancestors and kinsmen in Yorubaland to the extent that indigenous anklets prior to European contact looks like "American wonder" to you.

Ancient Igbo people never dressed as poor and wretched as Yorubas.

All these are pictures taken after colonisation. If you had sense, you would notice the colour effects on the pics. An half-wit should know this.

There was no such transfer of technology
That is a blatant lie
You have no oral traditions about the accidental discovery at Igbo Ukwu so how you can wake up and claim to have tranferred technology to anyone is just bizarre. Technology you did not transfer ANYWHERE in Eboeland ? Not to Owerri Oguta Aba or anywhere? but to Yorubaland
Foe all we know the stuff was Igala stuff from a period before they were forced out by later arrivals which would explain why there was no oral tradition or similar findings anywhere else

What I see here is a strategy to tell so many lies hoping some will endure.

u're too old to be this emotional, and yes Igbo brought civilization to yoruba-land this is a fact u must accept and live with.

your emotional outburst won't change history #chokeonit!

Even though the snippet you posted was not explanatory enough. However, I could deduce that about four ibo slaves equal the value of an anklet. Four ibo slaves had to be sold off to the white merchants in exchange for an anklet.. Are there any further snippets?

Like I said, Igbo achievements look like works of Aliens to you Afonjas.
You say smelting were not fashion? Well probably to you people that don't know much about it until Awka blacksmiths introduced advanced version of it to you lots.

You might have a word with this Aro double edged sword

If four Igbo slaves equal to an anklet, then 40 Yoruba Slaves will be the equivalent.

Do you know why? Because one Igbo slave equals to 10 Yoruba Slaves.

Remember that Seriki Abass sold 40 Yorubas for one umbrella

If ibo ukwu was accidental, what about Arochukwu which was originally an ibibio heritage. Ibos were the last to catch up to civilization around the neighborhood.

I read about some itinerant blacksmiths called the Isobos (Urhobos) who migrated to Yoruba hinterlands in the early 30s with a slightly modified blacksmithing.
I wonder why you guys find it extremely difficult to make use of your brains in matters requiring basic logic. As at 1930, Nigeria had gone far beyond cutlasses, iron and gun blacksmithing. Nigeria was linking cities with bridges especially in Lagos. There were storey buildings, oil Mills, roads constructions, schools, there were handful of graduates at the time. Nigeria was not a kind of Stone age society as at 1930.
I wonder why you sounded so fulfilled about blacksmithing as though people were still living much as hunters and wanderers.

I couldn't care less how many slaves he could have sold for half an umbrella. I am so much more sensible than you would ever be to glorify and gloat over white men selling off your ancestors for as worthless as an anklet. Men chained like a beast of burden while their wives served as sex slaves. That's what you glorify when Oyinbo puts an anklet on your ancestors. I will never glorify such a dehumanization when I see an umbrella shielding some wealthy slave raiders from sun and rain or a mirror carved from the finest glass around the world. Your mentality sucks.

Ibadan,Lagos , Abeokuta , Owo , Warri ,Kano, Zaria were all City States

Oba Ewuare demolished old Benin and planned and rebuilt a new Benin in the fifteenth century, he had sent some of his men to Portugal for Education

Tell me more about Owo if you don’t mind sir/ma

Everything shouldn’t be tribal war here now

that where my nigga jaja went to school

I remember this yeye opening line in MacMillan English textbook back then.

'we don't know where Jaja was born...........'

These people had paved the way for the future of their generations unborn. I wouldn't be surprised is the likes of Lulu-briggs, peterside, etc were there

Please don't come on a public forum and brazenly make outlandishly false claims.

Even if the purported school was founded in 1899 which I know is most likely false,there is no way it can be first in anything when even 20 years before 1899 a Sapara Williams had already been called to the English bar and some Nigerans Chief Ajasa,Q.C a signatory for the Lagos Colony with the British was already educated folk, the likes of Dr. JC Vaughan were getting ready to go overseas to study medicine, the likes of Pharm. TKE Phillips had started thinking of a career in Pharmacy and some years later opened the first Pharmacy in Lagos.

Let me not mention the likes of Herbert Macaulay, Henry Carr, Da Rocha, Bishop Ajayi Crowther, Revd Kuti etc who had covered some milestones around that time.

Please try and read wide.

Lol, Afonjas have loud mouth until those with their receipts like me show up.
Bring it on if you have balls

Illiteracy was the order of the day as of then so, this your picture holds no water in a society where only one per cent of the then population was educated. All tribes had such funny pictures, mind you. Out of that 1 percent, yorubas made up of over 70 per cent of the educated population.

Lovely trend full of wise guys here love it

just fucking learned some new stuff about my origin know hmm

I personally think this is just for paparazzi.

Those are not Yoruba women. Yoruba women cannot be found unclothed like ibo women whose pictorial evidences are replete with unclothedness.
Moreover, no Yoruba woman sat on a kind of royal stool back in the day. It is sacrilege that Yoruba women take a seat in a royal posturing with bead-like ornaments around their neck.
