actually i think they called it BIASAR to begin with in the 1700s. so you can trace the evolving of the language from the same people in cameroon who then migrated to south east nigeria. the evolving of the dialect from BIASAR to BIAFRA. if you want to trace a people you trace them through their dialect. |

QueenOfNepal:ok how about this map. observe the evolving of the dialect of the people as they moved from cameroon to nigeria. in cameroon they had a city state called BIASAR. and a few decades or centuries later they pop up in south east nigeria and evolved the dialect to biafra. you trace a people through their dialect because even thoughh it evolves, you still see traces of the former in the present. BIAfra and BIAsar 3 Likes |

Re: Do Igbos Really Come From Nigeria ? This Old Map Says Otherwise by sukkot: 7:59am On Jun 14, 2017 |
melodyogonna:this is the bottomline, a group of people called the bantus in ancient times setlled in the cameroon region. with time they travelled to the south east of nigeria. they couldnt go further west because there were established empires like the benin and yoruba. so the point is, the reason why igbo has no long history in nigeria, which all historians allude to, is because you are the last mass migration into nigeria from cameroon. point being if today you are the 3rd largest tribe in the country there should be documented history of your existence in nigeria but there is none, which alludes to what that map is alluding to by not having igbo on the map. when exactly did you all come in mass ? i dont know exact dates but i will suspect its within the last 400 years. you people migrate very quickly. its like how in lagos in the sixties you will hardly see an igbo man. but in 2017 there are like 4 million or more igbos in lagos. so in just 40 years 4 million igbos appeared all of a sudden in lagos. so within the past 300 years i can see how 50 million igbos just appeared in that region from nowhere. now if that ancient map was drawn today they would include igbo because you are 40 million or so. but when that ancient map was drawn you were so few that it didnt matter to include you. maybe it was like 10,000 of you. then the mass migration of the rest happened within the past 300 years. thats the point 8 Likes 2 Shares |

sukkot:Does it matter where they migrated from ,the present inhabitant of America and Australia migrated from Europe. Hausa,Yoruba,Igbo all migrated into Nigeria from somewhere,everyone is a migrant but when they settle in place in large number they become the owners of the empty land they met and occupy. 2 Likes |
