Op is a funny person and just catching cruise. I didn't bother to read the writeup. Everyday, they keep coming up with one controversial topic or the other just to keep Nigerian youths distracted from the true situations of things in the country. While the evil ones are mortgaging the future of youths underground. Tomorrow again they will come up with another senseless topic so as to keep the youths arguing aimlessly. It is well. If southerners are wise they should ignore any topic that encourages division of southern Nigeria.

Typical afonja...lacks knowledge of history. Igbo was the last African tribe to be subdued by Britain. Britain vowed Igbos will never know peace in their lives for delaying their plans of Africa conquest and costing lots of money. The fact is Britain sees Hausa-Fulani and Yorubaa as a people with very low IQ; they will never tell you this, that's why they let you two run Nigeria because they know you guys cannot reason critically and nothing good will ever come out of Nigeria with you guys running it...that's a fact!. But Igbos, no no no, we can't use them at all.

When Aro was conquering the South, all the way to ND, where were your ancestors?

You have changed history.

You know nothing About Igbo people, first of all, we were not the empire people, then we had the Aro confedracy, which was the biggest market and force within the East, The Igbo federation was going to be as the advancement of the Aro confederacy continue as far in as Enugu.

Within the Nsukka Opi axis, a contact with the Middle belt kingdoms of Igala and Tiv/Idoma having long been established trade in horses and the rest was profound, the iron smelting town of Leja Nsukka and the Environs was there.

Onitsha (Aniocha) and Across to Asaba (Anioma) was booming and Nnewi Axis too was springing up, we are nation states just like Ancient greek, before Philip Alexander the greats father, the city states in greek was scattered, Alexander took it a bit far by unifying the nation states.

It was going to happen, but Aro confedracy held more repute to the British than most other empires, note also that government by elders was very common in most part of AlaIgbo, so maybe you were not paying interest to AlaIgbo just how even today you had not travelled to AlaIgbo.

It had always been a little restricted here especially for Invaders and foreigners, AlaIgbo remains a sole area by Igbos abd for Igbos, say whatever you want no inch of AlaIgbo is open to invaders so you can call us empire, we are Igbos and we are unapologetic

Igbos don't display hatred for Yorubas, most post here on nairaland are always done to awaken the consciousness of their youths. They are too relax with people up north that don't wish them well. I personally, I don't role like that and same with large percentage of easterners. Most of the monikers propagating hatred here are mostly from northern region (divide and rule tactics).

It surprises me that you included afonja who betrayed his own people and letter died a coward.
I don't think it's your fault, history is banned in Nigeria schools that's why you eat every propaganda they fead you, so dumb.
The igbos resisted the British colonialist and their hausa Fulani Yoruba slaves for 33 years, all thanks to anioma people, they fell at ogwashi uku at asaba at onitsha when trying to conquer Igbos etc.
But it took them less than a month to overran the whole Yoruba land. I think it took them few days to take over Kano. And you here talking rubbish, oga go and research before saying what you don't know anything about.
You and your so called massive empires what has it benefited you, yet the women warriors of Benin republic gave you a run for your dear lives. grin



Do not fall for the divide and conquer tricks
Everyday on various platforms paid stooges and the enemies of Nigerians dish out rants to create a war and divide between the tribes in Nigeria and if you are not one of those afore mentioned people then don't fall for their trap

All over the country from the north to south east west and middle middle belt Nigerians are killed kidnapped and ransomed, enslaved and impoverished by terrible policies by our enemies who have planned their way into political offices using that position to eliminate all who will hinder their plans

But they have failed and events even now is turned around.

Igbos to me are cut off from the rest of Nigerians before the British came, Yorubas, hausa and others tribes except maybe Benin didn't not know of igbos in precolonial era.

I've tried to read igbo history, nothing is interesting there, it's full of lies and they try to claim many things other smaller tribes have in the SS as their own.

Its well, though majority of those monikers are of northern extraction trying to ensure that the two major tribes down south live in constant arguments and crisis. If both Yoruba and Igbos unite this country will move ahead. While other southern tribes are sitting on the fence and enjoying oil money that won't last for ever.

Yoruba - Old Oyo Empire.

Hausa - Hausa Empire

Fulani - Fulani empire

Benin - Benin Empire.

Igbo - ?

We know of jaja of opobo even in his small riverine area, he was a hero.

You also forgot that Jaja was an Igbo man who went and settled in the river line area that you are talking about.

They are distinct tribes. Stop the disgusting attache by force as you are slaves under Fulanis who are less than 5 million.

Secondly, were the Hausa and Fulani born with their clothes on?
