Shiver99:But Many Many communities in Igboland have a monarchical structure Unless we are to say that they are not Igbo in Arochukwu Oguta in Onitsha or even Asaba that is being contested whether it is Igbo Well we know that Arochukwu was conquered by the Akamkpa who rule there till this day You repeat this confused claim often but it is baseless and untrue. Many have claimed that Onitsha does not really belong to Igbos The simple truth is evolution Igbos were not politically evolved. They did not REJECT monarchical structure They simply had not developed beyond village level organization THERE IS NO RECORDED TOWN in Igboland before colonization They are villagers with Umunna mentality There is nowhere in Igboland where non-natives settled before colonization. Igbos were sold as slaves for centuries by smaller more sophisticated neighbours like Ikwerre, Ijaw, Igala,Efik etc 6 Likes 1 Share |

omonnakoda:I don't understand yoruba education at all. How can you rate monarchy ahead of democracy in political evolution? How can you rate Savage Invaders higher than settled democratic egalitarian society in political evolution? Do you know that vandals sacked Rome, Vikings destroyed England? Mongolia ravaged many cities, how does it make them better than those they attacked? Igbos understood long ago that only economic invasion will create a lasting empire and prepared ahead of others. 6 Likes |

Ogbuefi2020:You never had a democracy so stop fooling yourselves First tell us what rights Igbo women have in Igboland. Tell us what function they perform in governance Tell us what role the Osu caste system played in governance before claiming you are democrats We are telling you that you never developed anything beyond the Umunna level .That is your highest level of evolution and you operated a village Oligarchy not a democracy so stop talking rubbish 4 Likes 1 Share |

omonnakoda:Ignorance at it's peak. Igbo women don't get property from their father but from their husbands doesn't mean they were relegated, it's just a way of discouraging divorce. Do research on umuada, a strong democratic institution of women who weild so much power. As for OSU, it's equivalent to "city of refuge" in the Bible. These are people who were marked for elimination either for actually committing serious crime or falsely being accused. Once you go to a village with a powerful shrine and declared yourself osu you become untouchable and under special protection from the shrine. This is far ahead in evolution than execution by powerful kings 6 Likes |

Ogbuefi2020:Why should they not get property from their father It is barbaric stop trying to justify rubbish Who are you deceiving Can a woman inherit her husband's land that he inherited from his clan? Why telling silly lies We done see una fisnish so stop the lies Igbo women are second class citizens So when you say Yorubas are monarchical Can you compare the rights of women in Yoruba land to that anywhere in Nigeria? Yoruba women are Titled chiefs in Yorubaland which means they are part of government and there has been a female king in Oyo Do Igbo women have a say in how the community is governed? How can you call that democracy? How can you operate an Osu caste system and claim to be democratic What the hell is city of refuge and what is my business with bible?

omonnakoda:Lol, you have gone quarelling mode. Check igbo and yoruba marriages, which one has higher divorce rate? Igbo women participate fully in governance and share property in their husbands house only. My wife will get my father's property but my sister can not, are they not both women? 7 Likes |

Ogbuefi2020:We are talking democracy you are talking divorce rates Don't you see you are brainless? Give us the figures and a source or shut up One of you claimed you are DEMOCRATS all the evidence contradicts that If Half of the population i.e. women have no say it is NOT a democracy Osu caste system is not compatible with democracy Rather what you operated was an Oligarchy of the RICH and POWERFUL All men are not equal in Igboland. The rich are more equal. NO one came here to criticize that but when you try to rewrite history we will correct you You are not democrats AT ALL and there are many kings in what you now call Igboland 2 Likes 1 Share |

Check out all those spitting bile on this thread and how their villages are and you’d find out why they are so bitter It’s not igbo’s fault that our villages are better than their own.

Act your age. This is from your comment that I reacted to. You asked if there was anything in Igbo culture like will. You asked for the Igbo name for will.

This KwaraRat guy kicking yiibo arses all over this thread. There's one inferiority complex that pushes yiibos to always come up with ludicrous stuff. Whereas a normal person can post "see our beautiful villages", a yiibo is not intelligent enough for such subtlety. He'd rather go "see our beautiful yiibo villages that are more beautiful than all your villages put together". They make for good entertainment value. 2 Likes |

RealTalkNoBull:We lived in the rain forest because of abundant economic trees which we processed and traded. At the end of slave trade Benin empire collapsed, ijaw and Igala power collapsed, but Aro waxed stronger because it traded commodities of the rain forest while others only traded slaves. During early colonial era, British trading company overran yorubaland while Aro continue to control the Eastern trade till 20th century. Dispersed settlement and decentralized polical power was suitable for our way of life and put us ahead of others in modern competitive world 4 Likes |
