But why do you Afonjas get triggered whenever someone is trying to talk up his neighborhood or his culture? After all, there's nothing that's pointedly creative or inventive about you guys that will grow this kind of chauvinistic arrogance amongst you..

BKayy:

LOL. No need to start lamenting. The reason why what is supposed to be your original ancestors pictures looks like mockery to you people is because you've lied so much about them that who they are is insulting to you.

You lied that they were literally wearing suits like the thread you people tried to claim British building as Alaafins Palace until we brought the picture you see in this thread.
The thread where you claimed the British styled building as Yoruba https://www.nairaland.com/6828741/throwback-photo-alaafin-oyo-diviner

As for civilisation. The only one of us that brought civilisation to each other was us Igbo(Awka) bringing technology (advanced metal smiting) to you Afonjas.
The receipt is below

As for leaving Nigeria. Both of us know that the only reason why you are against Biafra is that you know that your existence worth absolutely nothing without Ndigbo. Just like a Parasite, you Afonjas being in Nigeria is the greatest that will ever happen in your history. Enjoy it while it last

You be Mumu or you just Wan form ignorance.
Did you just say this? Or na just joke? Cos we know who can't survive without the west..
How do rate it? People that leaves their region to find greener pasture or people that remain in their region to build it?
The lesser people move to a better place

Lol
Now reverse is the case

Lies from pit of hell. Camera has not been invented then.

BKayy:

Thank you

See what tribalism has reduced you all to. It is absolutely disgusting that you both share the same nationality. How can the country move forward then.

You all deserve the leaders you get.

FreeStuffsNG:


No claim he made there about Opobo can stand if anyone is false the other claims are likely false and ,as logic will say, fallacious.

But what has changed in this Southern State?
In a broader perspectives,have they cleaned all these oilly- land and makes the place hospitable for human habitations?

IS LAGOS YOUR VILLAGE

Not everyone comes from a village
This is something villagers like you do not understand

You are welcome

SO YOU ARE NOW FROM LAGOS

YOU WANT ME TO SHOW YOU PICTURES OF LAGOS VILLAGES

What do you know?

History is teaching you what was, even before ur fathers and you still disputing.

People sef!

you need not to worry thete are slot children here, whose only concern is tribal defence

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.

LOL, those ivory anklets is still a mystery to the Yoruba man from a nation of poverty. You shout sex slaves because you are confident that such lie won't be reciprocated. That's because Yoruba women's ugliness is like a shield guiding them from sexual exploitation. So no matter how someone tries to lie that Yoruba women were exploited, nobody will believe that a human being or animal will think of raping such ugliness Afonja women are known for. There were a lot that happened in Igboland during the slave trade but sex slave was never part of it. Learn to lie about something that sounds reasonable.

If you know anything in history, you would have known that whites don't sell ivory to blacks, in fact it was one of the things they exploited form Africa.

Those anklets are Igbo made. Now go and cry in peace now that you have seen the difference between both of us in HD. Not everybody dressed as poor and wretched as Yoruba people before colonialisation. Even Alaafin's wives didn't dress up to the standard of being considered poor if they were in Igboland with their Chinese hairstyle
Our women still rock it till this century

BKayy:

You are welcome

most of sub Sahara Africans were scarcely dressed,i wonder why Afonja people want to make us believe that their ancestors dressed in D$G and Gucci

They even use it to mock ndigbo like it’s something to be ashamed of
See oyo women below

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.

You are now talking about colours?
So you haven't heard of the new technology called "colorizing effect" for old pictures to make them readable?
Mtcheww... You are Afonjas are dumber than I thought.

Maybe you prefer that I post them like this

PressMyButton:

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.

Arochuckwu is ruled by an Akamkpa/Akpa dynasty till this day
The Aros were never identified as Iboes before Biafra
They sold Eboes as slaves for centuries and their Kings are not Eboe

They could be , I don't know but they could..
Assuming without conceding the photo is real in the 19th century women across all West Africa often were seen with their breasts exposed.


The shame associated with that today is directly imported frrom Islam and Christianity. It is not indigenous and I do not share it.

If you consider our weather and historical context you would know.

After 4 centuries of slave trade across West Africa there were no textile mills anywhere. Textiles were made by a very expensive process and clothes as we know them today were not worn in the 19th century.
We were first given shame and then textiles which were a significant ite of slave trade/exchange

You assume the stools are "royal" . I don't know.

Assumiing that is the case . The sacrilege you cite is not one I recognize.
I do not see anything wrong with those pictures .They are an accurate reflection of that time.
when Brassieres did not exist in West Africa . Curiosity and not denial is the way to deal with that.

For me they are excellent photos of strong women with a regal beaing.

I love this post of yours.

Its is just inferiority complex. It is normal for a human that have low self esteem like Afonjas to develop such when faced with superior culture like that of ancient Ndigbo.

You have a need to have a history as you have nothing worthwhile so I sympathize with you

The reality is that Eboes did not a any time evolve beyond umunna level politics and that is why small groups like the Arochukwu, the Efik, the Itsekiri sold you as slaves for centuries

Yes the Aros are ruled by an Akpa dynasty and were not Eboe

OBALOLA55:
SO YOU ARE NOW FROM LAGOS

So you want to play a game with me ? I say I am from Lagos then you say I am not and we start dragging that? On Nairaland?

Do you know that Fulani killed three Alaafin of Oyo?
Do you know what the dynasty of current Alaafin is of Nupe Heritage? People you Yorubas call Tapa

Here you are making up things that you have little knowledge of. The people of Efik oral history claims migration from Aro not the other way round, and Akpa forces, if you have any idea of Nigerian geography will tell you of Igbo communities along Cameroon border. One of them, the Akpa in the history migrated as a whole from.
Have you ever seen an Efik person or other nationality in old Eastern region claim Arochukwu as a people?

Do you know what you people are trying to do? You are trying to set up Efik and Ibibio people like you did to Ijaw that ended up making us expose Ijaw for what they are but these nationalities (Efik and Ibibio) are wiser than you people.
They can never fall for your schemes

I don't know that but I know that Arochukwu is ruled by Akpa kings till this day
I know that Itsekiri , Bini,Ijaw and Efik sold Eboes as slaves for centuries

Ijaws sold many Eboes through Opobo

Opobo is what we are discussing here

This speaks of how low you know Yoruba culture. I've already posted one of your pictures. You Yorubas don't actually have any indigenous cloth. What you call Aso Oké is Fulani material imposed on Ilorin Yorubas which later spread to encompass Oyo.

As for Cannibalism, you might need to explain what happened at Oyo during Endsars or the case of Owolabi, his mother and his girlfriends heart or that of your ancient Ogboni cult

Na envy go kill u. Yoruba nor your mate in anything. Soon from ore down we go cut una off. Because of your senseless aggression you believe Yoruba's are timid.

Opobo is what we are discussing here

First of all, Bini never sold slaves. Transatlantic slave trade was abolished by the Oba immediately it was introduced. You can take a trip to Uselu and ask the chiefs there.

Secondly, Ijaw and Itsekiri never sold slaves. Ijaw doesn't even have counting system while Itsekiri's early treaty with the Portuguese and later on British conferred a protection on them from you know who. The superior race called Igbo.

Do you mind reminding us the people Dahomey built their wealth on. Their wealth was from slave trade and the commodity was a particular people known in history as Nago.
Do you know the people called Nago?

That is what your ancestors were known as

We are talking about how every goat chicken and Turkey in the Niger Delta sold Eboes as slaves for centuries

Everyone had a share Bini, Efik, Ijaw etc
Even Ikwerres had a share
That is why they reject being called Eboe because it is associated with slavery

Injera:

Na envy go kill u. Yoruba nor your mate in anything. Soon from ore down we go cut una off. Because of your senseless aggression you believe Yoruba's are timid.

Just one Igbo man is enough to give you the impression that Ndigbo have taken over your land.
Do you know why? Because one Igbo man is more valuable than a thousand of you.

I can't return the favour of chasing your lots from Igboland because we barely notice that they exist here despite them hawking up and down in Igboland.
