you mean as Fulani renamed Ilorin?

Whatever rocks your boat.

Ipobfraud:
It still better pass the entire igbo land, cry

Low IQ chief has spoken. Niger state isn't close to any Southern state in terms of development. Go and check the per capita income, HDI, Literacy rate, and Gini coefficient of Niger state and tell me a state in Southern Nigeria that it can rival.

Ngwamankilyou2:
Shut up still Igbo control rivers and still thee till tomorrow.

Every animal claim Port that we the ngwas even control.

First of all, LOL

Second of all, LMAO

Thirdly, are you joking? How can Ngwa that can't even control Abia state where it has more than four LGA's control Rivers state? Ngwa, the most hated and shortest subgroup in the South East wan come dey form power for Rivers

gidgiddy:
Arochukwu was known as Ibom? You guys make me laugh. Ibom is a forest miles from Arochukwu

So other parts of Arochukwu such as Ndi-okoroji, Amasu were known as what?

Man, stay humble and learn. Ibom is an Efik-Ibibio word. It was used to name several Efik-Ibibio settlements and Arochukwu was one of them. Atp, I'm tired of bantering with non-Aro people because every Aro man knows this about their land.

They're still land grabbers. The reason Spanish, Argentines, Red indians also do taunt Britain as land grabbers. If you settled on another man's land through barbaric acts, you're a land grabber.

The same Spanish people who according to your logic have grabbed numerous lands in the new world? Based on your logic, every single ethnicity on the face of the earth is land grabber because they all stole/conquered lands in one way or the other.

It makes them land grabbers. You can't gloss over it.

Lmao. What more do I expect from a Tinubu supporter like you? Based on your logic, the Yorubas of the Old Oyo empire were equally land grabbers because they waged expansionist campaigns, same applies to the Igalas who made incursions Southwards and the Hausa-Fulanis. Good read!

So hundreds of years ago, the area now known as Arochukwu was called 'Ibom', and Igbos invaded, drove Ibibios out, took over the place and called it Arochukwu? That the narrative you want people to believe?

Igbos don't operate that way, there's no history of Igbos fighting to drive out an Indigenous population and take it over their land.

What I believe happend was that Aros wanted to settle on a virgin land, Ibibios laid claim to it, and there was a battle, Aros won and kept the land. There's no way Aros would have gone through the trouble to driving out Indigenous people of a land hundreds of years ago when there was still plenty of virgin lands owned by nobody

Uchasa:
I don't know where you are from, but I'm sure you're not from Abia or surrounding areas because every knowledgeable Abian knows that Arochukwu was Ibibio land just as present-day Turkey was inhabited by the Greeks of the Byzantine empire. Arochukwu was known as Ibom in the past until Crossriver Igbo forces connived to conquer the land and renamed it as Arochukwu just as Turks renamed Costantinople as Istanbul

Stop writing rubbish.
At no point did Arochukwu belong to Ibibio people.
The people Aros had dealings with were Eburutu( Efiks) and not Ibibios.
The both groups lived side by side until the Eburutu people left.

NaMe4:
It's a known fact that Arochukwu belongs to the Akwa Ibomites (Ibibios) right from around 300AD (Originally Obong Okon Ita and Ibom).

Following recurrent disputes with Igbo settlers who migrated to the area in waves, the Arochukwu (Aro) confederacy was established to seek peace in the region in the 1600s. The area was later renamed Arochukwu. Obong Okon Ita was also later corrupted to Obinkita.

Obinkita has nothing to do with Obong Okon Ita, try harder.
Arochukwu have been in that land since dawn of time.
They had issues with their non Igbo neighbours.
Fight ensued which they got help from other Igbos and Akpas and won.

It still makes them land grabbers. Try it now in the 21st century & see what happens to you.

Pacesetter123:
Have you ever heard of Aro-Ibibio war?
Where do you think the war took place?
You think it was in Uyo?
Go and study history, you say no.

No such thing as Aro-Ibibio war.

viodemus:
Some people are calling igbos land grabbers.
Stup*d talk.

To gather against igbo dey hungry some people. Just because some efulefus gather with golden days oyibo to suppress the igbos, mean say na you get land.


Well, siblings and cousins misunderstanding can be diplomatically approached and resolved, but those ones remotely controlled and those ones wey think say na think say, should be met with a solution that will treat their mumuism.


Igbos is love giver,
most igbos respect and love the different tribes of cousins in those areas, but we also know the ones that wants to try us, because they are genocide hungry and over pampered by their controllers.

Igbos in their areas that were arrogantly carved in to them, have been suppressed beyond recognition. All that go stop. Igbos are indigenous to the SS, more than most of them. Live and let live. The bullying of the igbos is a no no. The igbos love peace, but will not cower or loose the urge to defend itself.

Please Igbos have no such thing as siblings in Nigeria.
What we have are "neighbours".
Some of us should start being stoic and stop with the stupid brother/sibling stuff with folks that only see you as enemies or potential enemies.

Unu ga amulu ako, n'unu adaghi Iberibe.

Arochukwu history leans more to relationship with Efiks, not Ibibios.
Ibibio -Aro way never happened.

unclenna:
pls say what you know. Those cross river people crossed river to come and drag land with the ibos.

We gave them land to build temporary resting homes as Fisher men but now they are claiming ownership of the land....

This exactly what happened.
I made a post on this sometime ago
These Minorities used the opportunity of Igbos losing the Biafra war to seize lands their Igbo benefactors gave to them to fish on in pre colonial era as customary tenants.
The Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba with Ijaw gang up after the war, happily ceded these lands to these minorities as punitive action against Igbos post 1970.

https://www.nairaland.com/3678818/interesting-history-ututu-people-abia/1

If Ukwuani people were not quick to deny Igbo tag, their lands in Ndokwa East that they gave to Isoko settlers in pre colonial era as customary tenants, would have been ceded to Isoko North and Isoko South too as part of the Igbo post civil war punitive action.
Their Igbo denial is why those Isoko settlers now claiming Indigenous in lands their ancestors begged for and were given to them as acts of humanity, are still stuck in Ndokwa East LGA of Ukwuani region, and why Ndokwa/Ukwuani people will retain control of those lands forever.

The same thing played out in PH.
Lands Ikwerre people gave to Obulom people as act of kindness in precolonial times when t
Obulom people left their Abua brothers after losing a war, Obulom people joined Ijaw franchise under Okirika auspices after the civil war and started dragging that land with Ikwerres, while refusing to accept their customary tenants agreement with Ikwerre ancestors that gave them the land.

If Ikwerre people have not denied being Igbo. The Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba with Ijaw gang up after the civil war would have ceded those lands to Obulom people who are now flying under Okirika Ijaw political franchise!

Isu, Ututu people in Arochukwu LGA lost hectares of lands they gave to Efik neighbours to fish at in precolonial times immediately after the civil war, because they were Igbos and didn't have Ukwuani and Ikwerre opportunity to deny their Igbo tag so as to get justice.
For this reason, the FG hurriedly and painfully gifted their lands to Efiks and moved these lands to Odukpani LGA.

This is why I hate IPOB and why I boil with anger when a mentally challenged Igbo person speak of Biafra with Minorities!
These people took advantage of us in our weakest moments and tried to take as much from us as they could.
They are not our siblings or brothers. They are our neighbours, aggressive and expansionist ones for that matter.

Lmao. What do you mean by Igbos don't operate that way? Prior to the coming of Northern European imperialists, was there anything like an Igbo identity let alone a common mode of operation? Why do you think there are scores of Igboid subgroups like mine who reject the Igbo tag? In the past, the people referred to as Igbos today were very heterogenous. Some Igboid communities had a centralized leadership system with Obis, Ezes, and Igwes holding absolute power while some Igboid communities were acephalous and decentralized. Many Igboid dialects were not even mutually intelligible and their cultures were very different from each other. Even the theories behind the existence of the "Igbo" people are so much that nobody knows their actual origins, yet you think under these complex circumstances "Igbo" people had a common mode of operation? Mister man, go and make some research about the origin of Arochukwu then you will understand why an Aro man is more closely related to the Akwa-cross people than an "Igbo" man from Anambra. There's so much to your history that you don't know.

Mister man, go and read Aro history. Present-day Arochukwu was inhabited by a Proto-Ibibio group until the Aros and Abam people arrived and waged a campaign that culminated in the Aro-Ibibio wars. Go and read and stop arguing!

That doesn't matter. I know the history of all our Igboid neighbors, especially the ones in Abia state, and that is what matters.

Yujin:
It's a boundary dispute between Abia and Cross river state. Akwa Ibom is not involved here.
Besides, it's not a land grab problem for expansion but for a resource found in the said land. You know how it goes with issues like that.
