I don't even know the basis of rating Igbo has number one.

How many wars did their forefathers fight?
People that couldn't even build an empire!

ariesbull:
40% of it I land were gotten via wars and conquest

In that ewedu lies our strength. Eat it and see the difference in reasoning.

Let us it down for them
So they can increase In Wisdom

Political Strategy is not Gra Gra
You don't always show opponents your Strengths
So you hide your Joker Card

Kwara Governors are always Yorubas ,any Traditional Ruler that Misbehaves they are free to Remove

Emir of Ilorin fully Submits to them
He has no Choice

Emir of Ilorin was Checkmated long ago
He is a Servant of the Governor
All Kwara Governors are Sons of the Soil

We already have Ilorin because we Control Kwara

What remains are religious differences between our own People


The British fought the Yoruba Ruler of ilorin called Balogun Inakoju alanamu in 1900 to take Over Ilorin

The Emir had already been defeated and deposed by him and his followers

Balogun alanamu was the Yoruba Ruler of ilorin

The rest is Tribal Politics

There are some Historians who even claim the real reason the British reinstated the Emir in Ilorin was because he was the one that gave Lord Lugard the information that was used to Track down and kill the fleeing Sultan of Sokoto Caliphate Attahiru and his Jihadist Army at Gombe
So the British reinstated hin as Emir of Ilorin as a reward

Many Fulani even see the Emir of Ilorin as a Traitor who sold out the Sultan of Sokoto Attahiru and his Sokoto Caliphate to the British

The Yorubas also deposed the Emir of Ilorin in 1934 he fled to Kaduna and was again reinstated by the British after 2 years

iampeterben:
Ah! So no yoruba?
Na fight go shele for this thread now, if it mistakenly gets to frontpage.

ariesbull:
You checkmated Emir of Ilorin ...dey fool yourself!

You can't even hold festival

Christistruth03:
That is Muslim Yorubas vs Traditional Yorubas

The Emir takes his orders from the Muslim Yorubas
The Yoruba Governor even has a Christian wife

But the Governor can still overrule them all

ariesbull:
you can twist the narrative ...YORUBA MAN NO DEY FOOL YOURSELF...the king of Ilorin was the one that chased Yoruba traditionalist away and the king of Ilorin is Emir a Fulani man

BKayy:
Its obvious you haven't heard of the man below.
Col Joe Achuzia, The Hannibal of Biafra , the man that halted the Soviet led invasion of Onitsha 7 times. The man that single handedly led waste to an entire wing of the Nigerian army at one swipe at Abagana

Fulani attack people in their sleep? Is it their fault or their lazy enemies's for falling asleep?

The vast majority of soldiers in Nigeria since the days of the British have always been majorly Hausa it seems they are the ones doing the subduing

LOVEALAIGBO:
Kinda like what spinach does for Popeye?

KoshCAD:
Need I remind you how yoruba defeated your battalion of biafra in ore?

Don't forget, it was yoruba man that lead the biafra war in the biafra side

Odingo1:
You are deceiving yourself, Lagos was capital of Nigeria for more than 70 years, all those places you mentioned did not held as capital for more than 2 years. That is when the British was conquering territories before settling in Lagos. Read your history man.

YorubaDemonswag:
I would have believed this rubbish list if not because that the bravest Igbo are Nnamdi kanu and Ojukwu of cursed memory,and both of them ran away while disguising as female,if you said those people are from bravest tribe in Nigeria then we can all agree that There's no single brave person in Nigeria.

Christistruth03:
Emir of Ilorin was a puppet of the Yoruba Muslims
They were all over YouTube threatening fire and Brimstone
The Emir only came out to back up the Yoruba Muslims later

Just ask the Emir to start misbehaving towards the Yoruba Governor

It took Britain 2 months to defeat the Fulani, 2 weeks to defeat Yoruba, 3 months to defeat Benin in 1897, 33 years to defeat ekumeku warriors of Western ibos, 34 years to defeat aro Confederacy of Eastern ibos and akwa cross, the war ended in 1913, Britain then amalgamated Nigeria in 1914, the ibos delayed the amalgamation for 34 years, so encyclopedia Britannica is right

Christlike01:
Isn't it an irony that the most cowardly people to ever walk this earth are even the ones who always want everyone around to see them as strong and brave ? People whose only known "brave man" was a lifeless, fictional character named "Okonkwo" in one Chinua Achebe's play -Things Fall Apart ! Is it not funny as well that Igbo people,without any known records of civilisation,no prominent ancestry or any records of bravery/victory in battles,are always the ones calling and labelling everyone around them cowards, cowards, isn't it funny,really ?!

I will keep saying it,there is no basis for any dick measuring contest between Yoruba and Igbo. The records of the two are there for any discerning mind to see ! Yoruba conquered territories far beyond the shores of present day Nigeria. They fought brutal wars for ages and were never defeated in any ! That was the kind of bravery Colonel Fajuyi displayed in the face of certain death when the northern soldiers came for Ironsi's head. It was the same kind of bravery Obasanjo,Idiagbon,MKO,Wole Soyinka,Gani Fawehinmi,Falana,etc displayed in the face of great odds and death !

The Op must be suffering from Paranoid personality disorder,a disease which makes one to believe what's not true about oneself to be true ! A person with paranoid personality posits a false grandiose image of himself and it makes the person to believe that he is such a very special person and wants other people to kowtow to his madness and see him as he wants to be seen: a very important person ! He becomes angry when others don't see him the way he wants to be seen or when he is shown his true identity ! This is the problem with the Op, he had to create a thread just to massage his igbotic ego when it is on record that Igbo people have no history of any known war not to even talk of victory in any !

If there is any tribe that should occupy the first position on that list,it should be the Yoruba people! Yoruba fought wars more than any other ethnic group in Africa and they were never conquered. There are so many documented accounts/records to support this,it is not a fallacy. Igbo shouldn't be on that list,there is no historical records to support Igbo people's claim to bravery,no such records.

Lost ILORIN....and you are talking?


You didn't query
IGALA
FULANi

It's IGBOs you saw on the list, because they are recognized as warriors by more advanced race of people.?

What the white man saw and confessed to is what is causing you heartaches?

Pray earnestly...that NIGERIA remains 1, so that you can be ranting from behind your FULANI masters. They day, NIGERIA divides into different Nations...I will love to see a direct confrontation between Yoruba and IGBO.

You need to be put in your place totally, so all this rubbish chest-beating will cease. You can't reclaim ILORIN and you want to confront people that the same FULANi fear?

We dey watch... Nonsense!

Raf4:
You mean the 5 acres of land called SE?

ariesbull:
and those acres are even gotten via wars ...even the Delta Igbo and other region got their land via conquest

Bigkoko:
Bravery is not be winning battles....it's how you face insurmountable challenges e.g.
The Japs in WW 2.
The Germans in WW 2.
The Vietnamese in Vietnam war.
The binis in the battle of 1813.
The Opobos in the war against British oil merchants.
The Igbos of yesteryears against the British, and today against Fulani herders.

Raf4:
Wars with which tribe?
