The History Behind Igbo-hate (igbophobia) by TheSourcerer(op):
Good morning beautiful dark skinned Nigerians
Yes this is a Tribal topic , Before delving into this extremely sensitive topic and avoid bias I am Aguda of Kalabari decent ,Bahia Brazil (There was a Topic posted about the Brazilians in Nigeria which to my surprise many did not know about , they are the Saros( Londoner slaves returned to Sierra Leone then later to Nigeria where they were known as Saros adulterated form of Sierra Leone (Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti and basically all English compound surnames are descendants of the Saros, while the Agudas have Spanish compound names , It was around this time around Ramadan, a slave revolt was planed in Bahia Brazil , even though the slave revolt was foiled it caused mass deportationof Brazilloans to Nigeria(indirectly caused by one of rebel leaders wife's ) The bloody revolt was violently suppressed, The Brazilian government had enough of this revolt and as punishment three large ships containing both free born and recently freed slaves ,One was to go to Accra Ghana were they were welcomed warmly by the indigenes from the dock and given land , They are called Tabom which means okay as they could not speak English but Portuguese and Spanish,
The two other Ships Landed in Nigerian Major Ports Lagos and Portharcourt, here there were refered to as Agudas which means cotton in Portuguese,The Brazilians were equally welcomed with singing and beating drums from the Nigerians , They were given lands in lagos popo Aguda ,the Agudas are spread through Lagos ,Abeokuta,Ibadan ,Portharcourt and calabar , In Portharcourt they were settled at Aguda-ma before there fully integrated into major southern Tribes mainly Kalabari(Abonnema) opobo and Okrika , The Brazilians introduced the Spanish native dressing of the Ijaw including the traditional cowboy hat which is now part of the Kalabari culture, The Brazilians still retain thir Portuguese name till date . While the Saros had integrated perfectly with the Yorubas
