Taah!
We don't share ancestral links with Yorubas abeg.


Though, come to think of it, all humans share ancestral links
Most you who claim Christian don't read bible?

Are you not from Adam? And do you not know that mankind where divided into 3 after the destruction of the world in the days of Noah?

Shem - Asians
Ham - Africans
Japhet - Caucasians

But God divided their language.

Most you claim Christian.

The first migrants of Igbo’s into znigeria have been known to be Jewish. There are artifacts and locations in the South East that buttresses that.

It was the son of Oduduwa ruling Benin that gave the Igbo migrants the land called South-East todays

Igbo’s are one of the lost tribes of Israel with a unique language, and they are not Nigerians.

They migrated into West Africa through the coastlines of Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon.

They were working for the Ikwerre’s in the Southern part of Nigeria and adopted their language.
Keep pulling nonsense tales out of your anus.
Well, if your tribesmen believe the Yorubas originated from a man who fell down from heaven, y'all can as well believe anything 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What I know is that we have Ugbos (in Ondo state today) who fought the Ifes. Moremi, an Offa princess married to the Ife king saved the Ifes from the Ugbos. That's how Ife became peaceful and they made progress.

The Olugbo of Ugbo kingdom has stated the history from their own perspective. It's not so different except that they claim to be the original settlers in the area.

Ugbos are different from Igbos. Ugbo is bush in some Yoruba dialects.
and u didn't know that ugbo is also bush in igbo language mostly farming areas

Igbos are descendants of Jews.

Even though Netanyahu tries to deny, it can not be wiped off history.

Yoruba’s gave Igbo the South-East which they presently claim as home now.

A day will come when they will go reclaim their land in Israel, and so shall a day come when their tenancy will expire and Yoruba’s will reclaim the South-East.

Talk more about fixing Nigeria than igbos and Peter Obi every time.


Every nitwit that wants to hit headlines nowadays will just find a way to mention Peter Obi, Nnamdi Kanu or Igbos.

Why this lazy tribe always like to dey disgraced themselves? Must you gum yourself with other people by force? Must the Yoruba people keep on forcing the great Igbos to be inline with them? Next election now you go start hearing about Igbos should leave our land and go back to the South East. The fear of hausa fulanis is the beginning of force friends with Igbos. Nobody dey hear about MC OLUOMO ALE anymore
I don't blame you
I blame the Ọọni for associating us with an evil, jealous and hateful tribe.

Nothing grows in Ibo land, except ugwu leaves.
Gully erosion has eaten up their land.

ugbo is also bush in Igbo just like bush farm

What I know is that Yorubas came from Saudi Arabia while Igbos migrated from Israel. Igbos are one of the lost tribes of the Jews. It's not as if Israel is peaceful and leading the world like US that we are claiming to come from there but it is what it is, your ancestry remains your ancestry whether good or bad. We are not like Ikwerre people who are.denying their Igbo bloodline just because Igbos lost civil war and just because of crude oil politics and as Ikwerre people claim they came from Bini kingdom, Oba of Bini disputed the lie and said Ikwerre people are Igbo people.



Kola nut also grow in Igbo land. We had one Kola nut tree in my family compound while growing up. So the kola nut story is not entirely true. But I love Ooni and I respect him so much, so I cannot say Ooni is lying, he must know one or two things we none Royals might not know but he needs to research deeper beyond this kola nut story to convince more people about his story.


Maybe Yorubas and Igbos might have shared same family background back in MiddleEast where both tribes migrated from because the Yoruba and Igbo dialect share some similarities in word meanings. And all over Yoruba land, they always have an Ile Igbo this and that, there must something about that.


I know Ooni is not happy with the disunity between Igbos and Yorubas of recent and maybe trying to use this history to calm situation down, and I commend him for that but of the truth, the unity between Yorubas and Igbos today is in the hands of Yorubas to make it work because Igbos have done more than enough for Yorubas to foster unity but Yorubas always repay Igbos with disdain.


Igbos voted MKO Abiola (in 1993, Southeast had just 4 states, MKO won Anambra and lost 3 other SE states to Tofa. But the 3 SE states he lost to Tofa, he got over 40% of total votes cast which means Tofa won him there with very narrow margin despite the fact that Tofa had an Igbo running mate Sylvester Ugo. )

Igbos spearheaded the fight for the release of Obasanjo from jail (go and read about Chris Anyanwu and co)

Igbos voted Obasanjo twice leaving eminent Igbos like Ojukwu and co.

Ogbonnaya Onu collapsed his political structure for Olu Falae to become flagbearer and we then had two Yorubas contesting for President in 1999 yet Yorubas refuse to repay all these.

They forgot all these in 2023 even as their honest elites tried to correct them and remind them of all these.


Igbos without prejudice go to Southwest in numbers to invest and live happily, but Yorubas out of unbridled hatred for Igbos rarely travel to Southeast to invest and live, when they live there due to.work, they refuse to invest or buy lands giving false excuses that Igbos dont sell their land, says who? I have lands in Owerri and Enugu, any Yoruba man interested should chat me for price not staying in Yoruba land and be lying against Igbos whereas we are also looking for people to buy lands in Southeast towns and cities and join us in developing Southeast like we are doing for other regions.


Many Igbos that have investments and properties in Lagos and other places dont live in Nigerja and didn't make their money in Nigeria but for our love for true unity in Nigeria we invest everywhere but still una de hate Igbos unjustly out of fear.


Today a Yoruba man Tinubu is President, he have another opportunity to unite Igbos and Yorubas, but will he do it? Let's watch and see

I don't even need to read the long letters because it's of no effect.

Ooni once he admits that Yoruba's historical lineage has her root on the prince of Oba of Benin that was sent on exile to Ife it's all good.

Does any of you here know why the originality of Yoruba people and the government (Supreme court) officially recognises Alafin of Oyo as the highest King in Yoruba land?

How did Bishop Crowther get to know about the Igbos when not British?
gidgiddy:
If the British had not created Nigeria, most Yorubas and Hausas would not have known who Igbos are

Ask the average Nigerian who the Fon ethnic group are, they won't know

But the Fon ethnic group are the largest tribe in neighbouring Benin Republic

The average Nigerian doesn't know them because they are in a different country next-door
