Cuturally and in every way the Hausas are more evolved than Eboes definitely at the time of Lugard the Eboes were the most backward and primitive group in Nigeria so any gloating or smugness is misplaced

Well well, what do we have here, so predictable, an Odua slave coming to the defense of his Arewa masters. I always knew that the BOKO ISLAMIC SHARIA REPUBLIC OF AREWA-ODUANISTAN would make for a perfect master-slave country.

Well if your idea of sophistication is living in crowded mud houses with no regard for living space, sanitation or ventilation, and your idea of leadership is a group of self imposed leaders/ conquerers lording it over a subservient and docile populace. Then it's no surprise why you would think that the Igbos who had evolved a superior democracy and mini republics are backward and primitive, even a madman thinks he is the sane one.

Truckpusher:
Bullshit.

Boy! You need to read up before making this kind of comment .

haul:
Bro, in the deepest part of your heart you know is right. Give it up that's the appalling realty.

Truckpusher:
It could be true to half baked fellows like you that do not understand that our ancient people that existed before Nigeria had their own civilization which they mastered until they were physically and ideologically conquered and their history completely altered.
That statement by Lugard was racially motivated and out of frustration because he couldn't convince these people of their continuous domination over them while propagating their own culture and calling his barbaric.
Go read up please and stop feeling inferior to a people that you were once better than in human qualities.
The man that builds a bomb to kill millions and the man that sharpens a knife only for hunting , who's more barbaric?

I read D. O. Fagunwa's novel while growing up then but lost it. I had to look for it last year when I was receiving lectures for early African writings in the course African Political Thought. It's good to study history my people because it will elevate u above ethno-religious sentiments.if govt is desirous of ending ethno-religious tensions in d land then d subject History (esp of Nig) should be reintroduced and made compulsory in our schls frm primary to higher institutions. Nice job @op.

By d way, if u want to write biography of ur father, mother etc or history of ur church, mosque, locality, village, town, institutions, schools, clubs, associations etc9 contact me via jibolatoye@yahoo.com, www.facebook.com/gyboler or @jibolaolatoye twitter on

Amusaopeyemi:

I started reading Fagunwa's books at age 15 on my own, I went to ibadan 3years ago to get the translations of all his books.
Fagunwa was the best.
