you think now is better than then?

nwaanambra1:
where are his blood lineage today? do they still exist? or the British wiped them all out?

BOWOTO:
And someone will say, black girls rock.

Ihuomadinihu:

Sorry o,all these things are still prevalent in Western countries. Before Trans Atlantic slave trade,Blacks were selling White people. When you are talking about Semi-primitiveness,just mention yourself.

ORIENTNIGERIA:

"Then, there were morals and communal living; civilization took that and brought competition, finally turning us against each other"

medar:
What's the source of these pics pls. I do not agree that those are the wives of king Jaja. If you compare the two pics, you will see a great difference. The picture qualities shows they were not taking in the same age nor the same settings. Besides, check out Jaja's dressing and compare it to the women. The OP should direct us to the source of his pictures.

samsard:
Blacks were selling each other into slavery and you call that civilization? what about the inter-tribal wars that were raging on? Whether you accept that fact or not we were a semi-primitive people. And who says there is no morality in the modern day? ever heard of ethics as a branch of philosophy? Or is it the Patriarchal practices and misogynistic tendencies?

nwaanambra1:

samsard:
Blacks selling White people? do you have any evidence to back up your claim. Plus I don't think anyone who sells his fellow human into slavery can boast of moral superiority.

saintneo:
The tallest of the wives, the second standing from the right has a modern babe's body. Flat tummy, good bréãsts, tall, an hourglass shape; she could pass for a model.
King Jaja has eyes for good women.

Ihuomadinihu:

Slavery is as old as man. People all over the world have enslaved and sold others. Trans atlantic slavery is just a recent memory/record of slavery. Just trying to correct the impression that blacks are semi primitive cos of slavery. Whites have sold whites,blacks have sold blacks. Unfortunately,the Western media keeps pushing black on black slavery above the rest.

robosky02:

Ishilove:
Why is it that 90% of the posters on this thread are men?

Men ehn, una no dey use eye see boobs. Una must vibrate. Mscheeeew.

fr3do:



Slave mentality!
The white man did not bring civilization, we have always had it, in those days,hardly was there crime,morality reigned hard.

The white maltreated your ancestors and put them into slavery.

TheEqualizer:


Is that the reason why Ibos royals were nak3d in 1870 when other Africans were wearing clothes?

Stop telling us tales, Ibos were primitive but thank Jehovah for the civilisation of Ibos. If not, Ibos would still be nak3d with communal cannibalistic feasts as daily ritual. With human meat being shared around.

Ihuomadinihu:

This is a real picture. There is no difference between that and the one you posted. Dressing like Queen Elizabeth is now something to be proud of?

Sholah96:
Dem too resemble males

Ihuomadinihu:

Nigerians were all going around naked. The oldest fabrics in Africa were only found in Mali,Burkina faso and the South east,that explains the people that were going around naked before they learnt how to weave clothes from Malians and Igbos.

prophetfire:
I for dey look your bre'ast for free by now.

TheEqualizer:


Ha!

No, Ibos were the only nak3d ones. Others have been wearing clothes since time immemorial. And this thread also proves that. Or do you want me to post the pictures of other tribes in Nigeria, in 1870, and compare them to this one and other pictures of Ibos?
