Do Igbos Really Come From Nigeria ? This Old Map Says Otherwise by sukkot: 3:03pm On Jun 13, 2017 |
so am looking at this map of nigeria in the 1800s and it shows yoruba and hausa and nupe territories and there is no mention of igbo. the igbo territories belonged to Niger protectorate and coast. my question is are igbos really from nigeria ? I am starting to think they migrated from cameroon to that region in the late 1800s. so the question is if they are Cameroonians why do they want to form biafra in nigeria ? look at this map and tell me i am wrong www.nairaland.com/attachments/5490048_e1_jpeg0589c142e9397ad011c439904c1d6068 15 Likes 6 Shares |

Actually, both the yorubas and the hausas territories had been conquered as at 1800, the igbos were yet to be taken over hence, they were not yet included in the map. The igbo territories were the last to be subdued of all Britain colonial territory of Nigeria. Part of why they dislike the igbos because the igbos were stubborn and hard to crack..It took Britain 40yrs to subdue the igboland totally 215 Likes 19 Shares |

I don't think they had penetrated Eastern Nigeria to make discoveries, hence no name of any Igbo towns or regions on that map. Asaa was easily discovered because they're next to the River Niger. 17 Likes |

They were still jumping around the bushes then It took the Europeans a while to really tame them and make them act like humans I used to see a picture of one of them in the bushes back then on NL, let me search for it. 42 Likes 5 Shares |

hornyofife: The igbos resisted British rule for so many years. The Aro confederacy (an alliance that included ibibios) fought them for 12 years. The anioma Igbo fought the longest British resistance in Africa. Lasted for 31 years. It was called the ekwumekwu war. There is a reason the British feared igbos and made sure to keep them away from power. 148 Likes 15 Shares |

ZarZar: I will take the correcting in good fate but that doesn't undermine the main point which is that igbos difnt make it easy for the British unlike some groups that surrendered their land with little to no fight. Some groups even invited them to take over 80 Likes 12 Shares |

hornyofife:that bullcrap. you dont need to conquer a people before identifying them on a map. it doesnt work like that. you simply send a representative to ask what the name of the tribe is and then include it on the map. i dont know where you come up with this erroneous idea that you have to conquer someone before putting them on a map 27 Likes 2 Shares |
