Ihuomadinihu:

No! There were warehouses of slaves all over igboland. Igbo people know the group of people that sold them. There were two prominent ports, one for igbos and easterners at bonny. And one for cowards in Badagary.

sukkot:
and i repeat how many fulani and hausa slaves ? almost non-existent. how many igbo slaves ? millions. what does that tell you ? the ndigbo were weak cowards

Ihuomadinihu:

Look at a confirmed illiterate coward. Hausa people were also sold,is that difficult to understand. Use your browser wisely.

sukkot:
and who was brokering all the deals with the british and portuguese ? the yoruba kings. this is why lagos got very rich and prosperous during the slave trade era

sukkot:
the question is not if hausa were sold. the question is how many ? very few. how many ndigbo sold ? millions.

Ihuomadinihu:

I was expecting you to provide a link that said hausas was not sold according to you.
:p

Ihuomadinihu:

The Yoruba/fulani kings that sold coward yorubas brokered their deals. People at the bight of biafra had their own deals. You are only ranting sha,you obviously don't know what to concort again. Pele!

sukkot:
listen, like i said, there is a reason why the majority of slaves was igbos. it is because igbos are cowards. how many people have the liver to capture an hausa or a fulani man or even a yoruba man ? very few people have that liver. meanwhile everyone and his mama was capturing ndigbo because they know they are hot headed cowards

Ihuomadinihu:

Lol,i was not expecting you to be rational.
All said and done,this topic is about igbo history and heritage in the diaspora,just as we have other African contributions over there. I expect you to open a similar thread,jumping up and down on igbo threads is already out dated.

sukkot:
aiiittt we call truce. i shall let you enjoy your ndigbo history and heritage in peace. whats most important is we are all ' black ' so we are brothers and sisters whether we like it or not

GodMode:


You mean why are YOU so lazy not we

In case you don't know Africa fought a war with the colonial masters but there is nothing to back it up cos it was probably destroyed..

Africans betrayed each other which led to the whole slavery issue.. because new kings(African puppets) were installed in kingdoms to convince the people(Africans)...

It still happens till date..

What I eat is from Africa..
What I wear are Africa prints...

Technological deficiency is because of bad leaders..

sukkot:
dude ? ok

ok here is an excerpt from one of the articles



But female Igbo were valued as more emotionally stable than the men, and
hard workers. If we look closer at marketing patterns and other data, we see a
strikingly different image of the Igbo in various regions of the Americas. In
some places, they were especially prized. Colin Palmer’s study of the British
asiento slave trade to the Spanish Colonies (17?-1739) (ADD correct dates)
makes it clear that Spanish purchasers bought only prime Africans for whom
they paid the highest prices. Palmer wrote:,
“The Ibo . . .were considered [size=14pt]tractable[/size] and hence were highly sought
after by some of the slaveholders in the Americas.”ii
Moreau de St-Mery wrote that while some St. Domingue planters
hesitated to buy Igbo slaves because of their suicidal tendencies, others
preferred them because they were very attached to each other


OK LETS GOOGLE THE WORD ' TRACTABLE '

Spell Syllables
Synonyms Examples Word Origin
adjective

a tractable child; a tractable disposition.
2.

NOW FROM THAT EXCERPT YOU CAN GET THE REST STORY

Ihuomadinihu:

Brotherhood can only exist when one knows and respects his boundary. This thread was innocently created to fish out igbo elements in America. I don't see how you jump in categorize an entire ethnic group as mentally unstable,lazy and cowards and go back to say you see them as kins. That's simply preposterous.
The only arguement we had here was between an Ejagham man that was upset that igbos borrowed Nsibidi. You are the only one spewing tribalism and mockery here. If this was a sectarian or ethnicity page,it would have been understandable. But you crossed your limits by insulting a whole group with no apparent reason or justification.
Extending the word 'brother' to people you deliberately tried to mock is ridiculous.

Where's the link to this excerpt? I would like to see for myself what was replaced with ". . ." in this sentence "The Ibo . . .were considered"

sukkot:
igbos mock yoruba everyday on nairaland. i only started doing this after reading so many igbo hatred of yoruba on nairaland

Ihuomadinihu:

People make fun of people when it's appropriate in a proper context. You actively displayed it when it's not necessary,now i know it was a jolly good ride for you.

Chukwugekwu:
you reason through your anüs

sukkot:
when is it ever appropriate to make fun of someone ?

Ihuomadinihu:

You should answer the question yourself.

sukkot:
like i said, i am just returning the favor of years of abuse by ndigbo on nairaland. the ndigbo abuse got intense when Jonathan lost the election. thats when i decided its time to start returning the favor. dont start what you cant finish

Ihuomadinihu:

This is just sheer stupidity! This is an igbo cultural thread,it is not anywhere close to politics. Your sentiments would be relevant on politics page not here. No igbo person on this thread initially insulted a yoruba person. OMG!

sukkot:
its frontpage. i wasnt aware of what section it was at. i only got in it because it was on frontpage

Ihuomadinihu:

It's frontpage and you decided to go on a vindication spree without any justification? I equally saw Yoruba dialects on frontpage and i stayed away cos all i couldn't understand what they were writing and it wasn't my business.
I believing you are speaking for yorubas and i will conclude yorubas deliberately come into igbo threads to cause trouble. Now,i know better.

sukkot:
i speak for myself. leave yorubas out of this

Ihuomadinihu:

You are speaking for yorubas that were traumatised in the politics section. Now,we know your real intentions.

sukkot:
ahhhh so you admit igbos abuse yorubas in the politic section

Ihuomadinihu:

Did i go to the politics section?
You admitted you came from the politics section to avenge your people.

Ihuomadinihu:
It's confession time....
A total admission of partaking in tribalism when englightened people are discussing real issues.

sukkot:
me ? politics section ? i never go there. i stay on frontpage only. any article on frontpage. i like the crowded zones. the abuse i experience is on the frontpage
