Tompolo is hiding in plain sight. Buhari knows enough not to harass him. The golden sword was ordered returned. The status quo of "hiding" is only maintained for the the FG to aave face. Lol.

You and I know how Big delta state is talkless of Nigeria tompolo could be anywhere. You and I know its the truth. The fact that his father died and he refused to show up says a lot.

This government isn't fvcking around.

Quite an interesting video; how did they allow this to degenerate to this point? It could have been handled differently...things are really unfolding and there's a lot more to this than meets the eye.

Odingo1:

How did Yorubas ended up in Brazil and Cuba as slaves with slavery monument site till date in Badagry. Every tribe in Africa sell their own people as slaves to Europeans, read your history.

You are the one that needs to read history

All the Groups that are called Yoruba today never called themselves "Yoruba" They were very different and independent nations
Ekitti,Ijebu ,Ondo, Ijesha etc. Go to Benin republic where you will find many people who still call themselves Nago or Anago. The Yoruba thing is a Nigerian umbrella The people known as Yoruba were the Oyo. Even in Delta state a small group remains know as Lucumi

The reason Oyo was called Empire was because it conquered and subdued all these different nations except the Ijebu
They were all independent nations in their own right.

Yes they had similar religion,culture and language but were not ONE NATION hence the term EMPIRE



The first census conducted by the British reveals these different identiities. Ijebus never called themselves YORUBA before Nigeria was created , diitto for Egba, Ekiti etc

That is why I laugh when people talk about Afonja. Afonja was an Oyo problem that was celebrated by Ekiti and others .

The slave traders were largely Ijebu and Awori who sold Oyo, IJesha,Nupe ,Ebiira,Hausa, Ajase(now in Benin republic)

Odingo1:

Akamkpa itself is an Igbo name, so what are you saying.

It is NOT an Eboe name

Stop deluding yourself.

They are Akpa people

and they are the rulers in Aro to this day

Odingo1:

Fact is Yorubas controlled the coast Eboes never did
Eboes were slaves to the Ijaws and Efiks who sold themoffto Europeans

PFRB:


King Jaja of Opobo is a fulani man eh ?

You are reinforcing the point

He was an Eboe Slave
He was enslaved in childhood by Ijaws just like Joseph in the bible

Or are you telling us Opobo is Eboeland?

Unseen:


You should first ask yourself between Igbos and other tribe who honour Nnamdi Azikiwe the most.

You stated above that one Nigeria philosophy is fraudulent, how come it's only Igbos that is standing against it today?

Even if one Igbo man made the mistake, we have fought against that mistake and still fighting against that mistake, why then are other tribes standing against us especially the ultimate WE SOUTH SOUTH people that are suffering the most from the mistake.

I blame IPOB that's still lumping so called SS traitors in the Biafra agitation. If and only if the Biafra agitation will be only about Igbos.

It wasn't a mistake on his part. Rather, it was a deliberate and calculated attempt to pull the wool over other tribes' faces so that his own kinsmen could Lord it over them perpetually, and while he was doing so, no single Igbo man publicly took a stand against him. He preached a fraudulent one-Nigeria not by or for himself but in a representative capacity on behalf of the Igbos who elected him to lead them. If not why couldn't Igbos recall him from the parliament when recall was even easier under colonial rule? That explains why other tribes are against Igbos now, and not necessarily because they love one Nigeria.
Another reason why it wasn't a mistake on his part was that he read Anthropology from a prestigious University in Pennsylvania USA. It is a basic principle in Anthropology that a country made up of diverse cultural groups must not be unified by force but that each tribe must be allowed to be in charge of her own affairs until such a time when national integration must have taken place at a very slow natural pace after a long time. But Azikiwe returned to Nigeria as an anthropologist to start preaching unitary system disguised as a call for one Nigeria despite he saw it in his course content that such will never work... meaning he was advocating for what his profession clearly told him was wrong. The America where he schooled was as well very diverse like Nigeria. Did he ever hear anyone preach one-America throughout the five years he spent there as a student of Anthropology? Yet you claim he made a mistake? The only reason why a person can go against the principles of his academic specialty in practical life is to promote a selfish and sectional interest.
If it had worked out as he calculated and Igbos had become the lords of Nigeria today, would they have been asking for Biafra today?
When Ijaws declared Niger Delta Republic at a time the North was calling for Araba with Yorubas set to declare Oduduwa Republic, and every other tribe ready to go her way; wasn't it Igbos (Ironsi and Ojukwu) that thwarted it all? Why were only Igbos against separation initially?

Warship:


When it will be done, you will never know.

So get out of my lane.


As a Biafra, I won't approve of any unjustified killing.

The accusation of money collection must be investigated and Kanu replaced if found true.

oga stop the long speech and replace him

There is absolutely no evidence to back up the assertion that Igbos were wholesale slaves to any other ethnic groups.

Back then raiding for slaves was a regular occurrence. Some Igalas were slaves in present day Anambra state, same way Oyo people had slaves who were Egbas. Does it mean that the Egbas were slaves to the Oyo people?

Oyo was an empire and those states that it controlled were vassals

As far as the slave trade with Europeans in Eastern Nigeria is concerned the primary commodities were Eboe slaves

Go and read evrything the Europeans had to write it was about Ibo or Eboe slaves Not Ogoni slaves or Efiks or Ijaws

Those in charge of the trade were Ijaws and Efiks and Urhobos and Itsekiris in the castal areas

In the West

Those in control at the coast were The Ijebus and to a lesser extent the Badagris and Aworis

Ijebu bought slaves from Oyos who bought and raided from all over North Central and NW Nigera as we now know it

Porto Novo another centre is still a Yoruba enclave till today previously under Oyo but eventually broke away

Your desperate attempts to change the topic to the Yoruba are amusing

This thread is not about the YOruba

Eboes WERE IJAW SLAVES

Fact!!

Warship:


Very possible if Asari has no record of falling for financial gains.

Kanu must step down if he collected money from Atiku.

If Asari had the size of followership that IPOB represents we would have gotten the referendum at least a year ago.

If Nnamdi Kanu isn't careful IPOB will disintegrate after achieving so much up until he disappeared during python dance. I honestly think he cant do anything else for the cause except serve his own interests

Slow down. Stop being so defensive about your tribe.

Oyo empire had vassal states that later made up the Ekiti Parapo. No such arrangement ever existed between Ijaws and Igbos. That Ijaw and Efiks as coastal dwellers helped to capture the inland dwellers (igbos) does not in any way mean that there was an Ijaw or Efik empire.

If you have any facts share them

TRIBE??

Open a dictionary and check the wordout

I am not from a tribe

It is Eboes that operate in tribes(Umunnas)
I Said there was an Ijaw empire ?
Don't be foolish. Ijaws are not that smart.
The fact that they were still able to sell Eboes regularly speaks volumes about the backwardness

Be honest before the White man came the Eboes never achieved any political organization beyond the village /clan or Umunna level. That was the zenith of Eboe civilization . There is no record of any Eboe towns anywhere.No record of strangers living among Eboes in peace without being eaten.
Eboes did not live outside their clans and had no knowledge of each other except their immediate neighbours before colonization
So capturing and selling them was very easy for Ijaws to do

In contrast The Ijaws were widely travelled and had settled and interacted with civilized people from Cameroon to Togo

What language does Babangida speak?? Hausa . Is he Hausa

You don dey moonwalk now. You are the one that introduced the analogy of Oyo Empire and its vassal states to back up your assertion that Igbos were Ijaw slaves. At least you have admitted by yourself that Ijaw had no empire so how does one lording over the other come into play here? Ijaws in Cameroon? Brooooos I go check am o

The Igbos had an effective system of local governance that allowed for a very fairly stable political environment by the time the British arrived. There were few exceptions like the Aro whose interactions with other tribes meant they had a paramount political ruler whose office endured.

I advise you to read the writings of Thurstan Shaw on Igbo civilisations that existed more than 1000 years ago

You are trying to cover your gaffes with all this banter. If you say the Aro people are not Igbos then I ask you what language do they speak? What language have they been speaking for thousands of years

IamBlanco:
I LAUGH WHEN SOME IPOBITES MENTION JAJA OF OPOBO AS A BEACON THAT IGBO WERE NOT SLAVES TO THE IJAWS. GO AN READ HISTORY, JAJA WAS A SLAVE IN MCPEPPLE HOUSE. IJAWS WHERE NEVER SLAVES TO ANYBODY, EVEN THE BRITISH. IJAWS TRADED WITH THE BRITISH BUT WAS NEVER SLAVES TO THEM, WE SIGNED TREATIES. KING NANA OF NEMBE (AN IJAW SUBGROUP) WAS THE FIRST KING TO WAGE A WAR WITH THE BRITISH & SUCCESSFULLY DEFEATED THEM. GO READ HOSTORY OOO.

IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T REALISED THAT IGBOS ARE COWARDS & NNAMDI KANU IS A CON MAN, THEM YOU NEED YOUR BRAIN EXAMINED.

HE'S CHILLING WITH HIS WIFE IN ISRAEL, ACTING PORN, ENJOYING THE PROCEEDS OF HIS FRAUD . YOU'RE HERE SHOUTING IPOB. KEEP DECEIVING YOURSEVES. IF NIGERIA BREAK TODAY, WHO WILL LOSE? ONE SEA PORT SOUT EAST DOESNT HAVE, YOU'LL END UP SHIPPING GOODS THROUGH NIGERIA. NIGERIANS NOT IGBOS ARE THE LARGEST CUSTOMERS OF GOODS IMPORTED BY IGBOS IN ARIARIA & ONITSHA MARKETS. NO WONDER THE OLDER GENERATION OF IGBO MEN WHO HAS WORKED THEIR ASS OFF TO CREATE BUSINESS EMPIRES WITH THE 20 POUNDS THEIR THEY/PARENTS RECEIVED AFTER THE END OF THE CIVIL WAR CAUTION THE YOUNGER GENERATION ABOUT THIS MOVEMENT & FRAUD OF A MAN CALLED NNAMDI KANU.

LASTLY, IJAWS ARE FEARLESS, THE AGITATION FOR FREEDOM IS INBUILT IN EVERY IJAW MAN FROM BIRTH. ITS IN THEIR GENES NOT TO BE A SLAVE TO NO MAN. EVEN THE BINIS AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR EMPIRE DIDN'T CONQUER IJAWS & BRING THEM UNDER THEIR RULERSHIP. GOAN READ HISTORY O...

PEACE...

The bolded is not true. King Kosoko was the first in Nigeria to wage a war against British and won. That was in November 25, 1851.

Though all the ijaw nation jointly attacked and destroyed the warehouse of the British on January 29, 1895. But where defeated in the battle.

Both Kanu ,,Asari and Biafra are all mad.
KANU is a porn star,, a fraudster that relies on propaganda to brainwash his gullible followers.
Still remember last two years when I went to Onitsha... I look around na so I see printing press publishing Biafran newspaper... Like d biafran pilot,, biafran magazine,, voice of Biafra amongst others.

I pretended to b a Biafran that day(being an Igbo is not enough 4 dem) I mean u dare not have a negative view,, u dare not question or criticize what d papers are saying unless u want ur brain to b hacked out from ur skull. Some headlines says
"Trump invites KANU to White House" "Biafran man in Russia manufacture d world most powerful missile" KANU hold Nigeria to a standstill " u needed 2 see the crowd of people reading the paper,, mainly guys. Na so so chest talk and beating dem do as dem dey read am.
Laugh b wan buzz my belle but I controlled my sef.

Talking about Asari...he ma na adult kid. Can u imagine him saying dat $10m was nothing to him during Uncle Jona tenure? Wetin he dey use all the money do? Go develop nearby country's economy by building a higher institution dia
Na so he dey make mouth until army cum visit him...

I don't blame dem... I blame people hu are ready to die 4 dem,, gullible and defenseless followers. Hu made dem to b relevant,,las las all of dem are all MAD!!

I never said Aro people are not Eboes or that they are Eboes. It is for Aro people to say what they are . Clearly you are illiterate.
I said that Aro is ruled by their Akpa overlords.
Their Akpa overlords have left an enduring signature on their general outlook and worldview


Fact is that Many of those entities claiming to be Igbos today never did so before Nigeria or Biafra.
Ngwa being a very good example

Language has nothing to do with anything

It proves nothing other than proximity. Many Ijaw groups adopted Eboe to varying extents
Jesus spoke Aramaic not Hebrew
Not all speakers of Hausa are Hause ,ditto for any other language
Thousands of years? Aro eople have existed there for thousaands of years? You know this how?
The English people have soken English as we know it nowfor less than 1000 years

You keep running from pillar to post. Hiding behind insults will not work here

You say that Aro people are not Igbo but cannot tell me what language they have been speaking since the beginning of their history. Let me educate you...they speak Igbo language. A slight variation or dialect of the same language spoken all over Igbo land from parts of Delta to Rivers State. Same way Egbas speak a variation or dialect of the same language spoken in Ondo.

You can't dodge your gaffe. Prove Ijaws were masters of the Igbo at any time in history like you have been spouting on this thread.

That Egbas speak same language with Ondo ( Let us assume that is true) does not make them ONE people. That is foolish logic

They existed as different nations and never saw themseles as compatriots before Nigeria existed.
That is why when Oyo conquered them the word EMPIRE came into it

As your folk never organized anything greater than Umunna this may be difficult to grasp
The Hebrews spoke same language as their neighbours
Many nations in biblical account spoke the same language.

Language is a function of geography, trade and so many other variables

It's true. They are not different from the Olukumis in Delta state now that have adapted the Igbo culture and language but their origin is from Ondo state.
