Define population density.
You claim they abandoned one place and moved to another . You just made that up. It is fiction
The purported reason for the fictional abandonment is your concoction .............more fiction

Where did you get all this nonsense from?
DId Igbos control the Bight of Biafra?

Arochukwu people controlled the bight of Biafra. It's funny you are so shallow and still want to argue.

Ogbuefi2020:
But same applied to yorubaland, as for the we, I'm talking about modern era. The British have drawn the map based on all anthropological methods of classifying an ethnic group. Eg, while Austria was part of Austrian empire together with Hungary, the main Germany was independent city states but later Austria and Germany were classified as the same ethnicity despite not being in the same country

Irrelevant
You claim to be democrats but had several kings and did not allow women to inherit land or their father's property
You practised Osu caste system
Not democratic

Arochukwu were not Igbos and they did not control bight of Biafra obviously you are ignorant they sold slaves through Calabar .
The Aros were a conquered enclave ruled by Akampa/Akpa kings just like Fulani rule Hausas. They did not at anytime during the slave trade identify as Igbo.
The so called Bight of Biafra was controlled by different Ijaw clans d

Walter Roodney who wrote that very popular book is from Tanzania. Akamkpa and Abbi are Igbo in cross River State, but Aros were from somewhere around Ebonyi before conquering the land of Ibibios

The most relevant is that we were the most democratic in pre colonial Africa

Not only somewhere around Ebonyi Somewhere around Sambisa

Akpa people are NOT igbo

Akamkpa and ABI are igbos. I met someone in Minna who claimed he was igbo, when I asked people where the man is from they said "don't mind him, na Calabar man"

Yes even Fulanis are Igbos I met some in Disney wonderland yesterday They came with some Igbo cows

Evidence? Is Cameroon Bonny?

Most Igbo slaves were sold through Bonny

Aros did not control Bonny

And Aros were the ones who sold igbo slaves. Bonny and Opobo today are like Igbo/Ijaw mix due to Aro control during the Confederacy. King Jaja was kidnapped from Owerri by Aros before moving to Opobo through the Imo River

Akamkpa are just like Igbanke in Edo, Bros you know nothing about the extent of Igboland. Check British colonial maps

We have the best villages in the whole of Africa! No cap...
Don't argue about that..., Just show us examples of f better places..
That is not a boastful comment. That is a statement of fact.
Visit Anambra and Imo States and have peace in your life.. Enugu and Ebony can do better but they're quickly catching up..
I am super proud of the achievements of my people in this area. It's stunning!
Villages like Awka Etiti, Neni, Adazi them, Urualla , Akokwa, Mbaise, Nnewi , Abiriba them are so lavishly populated with the type of stunning mansions that you won't see in any such villages across the continent.

Even when compared with the villages I have seen in Asia, our hometowns are in another level! It is a thing of pride really..
The culture of building stunning edifices in the villages should be encouraged. It helps provide modern living standards to the old ones left in the villages.
What we need do going forward is to have a government cordinated master plan to bring the much needed basic infastructures and amenities such power lines, transportation systems, landlines, tarred roads and water pipes to these villages. That is the quickest way to take them to world class standards

nwanne men una too dey celebrate mediocrity achievements why ? That lekki for ajah NAA some people village....anufia clamoring poverty as achievements...shio

Those places are not villages because it's now cosmopolitan and built by non indigenous persons. Owerri, Enugu onitsha, Aba are also people villages but they can't be called village anymore so understand the context of the thread

Aro did not control Bonny during the slave trade Whether or not they are Igbo Ijaw mix today is NOT RELEVANT

Aro controlled igbo, ijaw, efik, ibibio up to Cameroon. Aro westward advance was slowed down by Awka people who were blacksmith and produced weapons, by the time Aro besiged onitsha after forming alliance with Obosi, the British had already established in Onitsha. A British naval reinforcement force them to retreat.

Controlled How? Did they colonize them of conquer them? What was the nature of the control?
You just wake up and start typing rubbish

Aro DID NOT control Bonny EVER

Aros were not Igbo

For the first time I am hearing of an Igbo Empire that extended to Cameroon


Are you not funny?

Not an empire but a Confederacy that was more Economic control than political control

Economic Confederacy not political empire, guy if you are this empty stop engaging in argument. The book "how Europe underdeveloped Africa" is very popular in universities. Go to page 122 and see where the author from Tanzania said that Aro traders controlled the bight of Biafra. Don't worry I will get snapshot of the page tomorrow but this was my thread regarding the topic last year. Go and verify

Aro did not control Bonny I do not need an author from Tanzania or Kathmandu to tell me that

Aro confederacy was in Arochukwu and not Ijaw land or Cameroon
Bight of Biafra is the atlantic ocean And Aro people were not seagoing

Itwas a very extensive place going all the way to Gabon

So talk about the Land

The Bight of Biafra is today called the Bight of Bonny and the most important place as far as slave trade was concerned was Bonny
Bonny was not controlled by Arochukwu
