Raskimonojendor:Benin sold yoruba slaves in staggering numbers. Owo was a mighty kingdom probably larger than Benin. But Oba Esigie defeated them after surrendering himself as a Portuguese stooge. He packed people from Owo like sand an sold to Portuguese who carried them off to plantions in Brazil. It was that period that Onitsha people fled towards the East and founded many towns in Delta State before crossing the Niger 1 Like |

Ogene001:And who is disputing the fact that yorubas also sold themselves as slaves. You see, unlike the ibos, they embrace history and not try to deny it. Go and watch Bigger than Africa on Netflix. You will enjoy it. 2 Likes |

Ogene001:Yes I discovered today that Ibos were sold as slaves by the Ijaw, Itsekiri and the Benin. However, unlike the yorubas that made a name for themselves in their Newfoundland, the Ibo culture just dissapeared like fart in those places. That's also a fact. 3 Likes

OldBeer:Would you have typed this, if it was said by a mad man roaming the street ? Stop bordering yourself about what asari has to say. He is no different from a mad man roaming the street. Before the civil war the igbos dominated almost every sector in Nigeria. They saw civilisation before others. A kalabari man or whatever he calls himself has absolutely nothing on an igbo man. The thought of a kalabari man ever selling igbos as slave, is pure hallucination, which could only play out in the head of a lunatic like asari. They know this. Everyone in nigeria knows this.

Ogene001: Onitsha people from where? Owo? Of course, Owo town was not bigger than the Benin Kingdom. Many of you mistake present-day Benin City (capital of Edo State) for Benin Kingdom. 1 Like |

Creativity22: Shut up. Igbo man saw civilization before others ? You that your emancipation into civilization began in the late 1920s. Bini ,Itshekiri , Yoruba and Effik and same Ijaw had been in contact with Europeans as far back as the 15th century . Igboland began its great leap forward in the early to mid 20th century . Is there any thing you have to point to this claim of western civilization reaching igboland before others ? Christianity hit the southwest and southsouth long before it reached your heathen enclave . Your ancestors were killing and eating missionaries while tying their bicycles to palmtrees thinking it was a horse that will run back and report you for eating it's master. You guys were the last to be civilised . 6 Likes |

Raskimonojendor:There is even an early 20th century account by a German explorer/businessman about Igbo land in which he remarked how rife cannibalism was in that heathen enclave. This same German explorer had a young Igbo boy assigned to him as a potter after securing his service from his father. The young Igbo boy's father told the German adventurist to ensure his son is fed human meat once in a while claiming it will build his character. Let me look for the article online 4 Likes 1 Share |

Fact is this guy is jealous of Igbos He can't comprehend us. He wants to use Igbos to seek relevance. We no send am. We busy making money while he's busy ranting childishly. Igbos carry grace. We are no victims. We are more than conquerors! Onye na aro onye kariri ya anya bu nkiri ka o na ekiri ya. Loosely translated, the person who eyes his superior is merely admiring him!
