EMMY76: Ogini? Land of what free? The land with OSU caste system where people are discriminated about is the land of the free? The land her inhabitants were escaping from daily in Chukudi Bus is the land of the free? The erosion ravaged region that discriminated against her blood based on religion is the land of the free?

Igbo political system made it difficult for British to win igbo during Aro-British war of 1901-1902. Britons later used provision of social amenities to win them over. Sokoto , Benin , Ilorin, Ijebu, Opobo were defeated by Britons in different battles because they had organized but weak political system. Some of the kings were dethroned and exiled. 2 Likes |

cocolacec:The bini that the Igbos served, where are they today? a tiny state whose got nothing to offer the nation as product of their expired empire except specialization in pussy-dick trade. On the other hand, the Igbo that served is now in 5 viable and productive states. With tons of inventions and developmental strides the world over. So your empire is just a relic of the past. in the present and for the future...bini dey relegation zone in the league of the nations. Bini is one of the tribes likely to go extinct if care is not taken....oya sing bini national anthem let me see, the national anthem of bini empire |

Can inconsequentials please stop using Igbos to soothe their bruised Egos? You can just imagine someone saying saying that Igbos were serving the Bini village empire. A tiny kingdom most Igbos didn't even know existed. In 50 years time an ex-refugee from Benin republic will start talking about how America and Japan were vassals of the Yewa Intergalactic empire.

SuperBold: We won the war against poverty and backwardness which is the most important war a truly human should venture into. When I look at states building flyovers and roads and their citizens come here to jump up and down, that their state is now being developed I laugh. A truly developed nation or state is where the people at least 90% of them live above poverty level. Take for example 6 of the 7 tallest Skycrapers in Europe, are in Russia, but Russia is ranked a developing nation in the global development index, while Canada is ranked a developed nation. You can only see that in Igboland. Individuals contributed money to build the Sam Mbakwe Imo airport, many road constructions in villages are done by Individuals. The highest standard of living in Nigeria came be seen in an Igbo man. The money you spend in your years in the University, one person may spend it in a Week just for burial of a loved one. We won the war against poverty. We are currently fighting the Jihadists who want to use cattle to swindle us the land of our ancestors. You are not seeing the war right? Currently in our war against the Fulani Jihadists, we have gone very far in the lead...we are winning them like : Igbo VS Fulani Jihadists 5:0 If you doubt that there's war going on now Igbo VS Fulani Jihadists, simply turn yourself into cattle, somewhere around Aba, Enugu, Ebonyi or Onitsha. You will see the war vaaam like lighter for your eyes 2 Likes |

SuperBold: Igbo-Ukwu is notable for three archaeological sites , where excavations have found bronze artifacts from a highly sophisticated bronze metal-working culture dating to 9th century AD, centuries before other known bronzes of the region.

thebosstrevor1: Bros if you don't know Igbo history don't complain. Nobody practices the pure and extreme version of any ideology, even the most authoritarian state will have democratic elements. Igbo society was and is democratic enough to be classified as a democracy. Age and accomplishment increased status and made it more likely for one to be selected for something. The red cap existed before the Brits mainly among the Ozo title societies. The warrant chief system was the Brits given "big men" and chief priests dictatorial power over their villages not randoms being given office, the power of their office was instead unnaturally expanded. Every tradition is decentralized at least compared to the modern state for simple logistical reasons which until modern day we didn't have the tech to overcome but Igbo society was certainly more decentralized while still remaining organized. |

SuperBold: 3. Is impossible. Fulani couldn't conquer Bornu, Borgu or Yoruba even while the later was in civil war and Anioma clans were busy defeating the Benin empire, stopping their expansions East while Aro inflicted several battle defeats on the British. But the main reason is simply that Tse-Tse flies would kill the Fulani calvary, their most important wing of their military. Even with their calvary they couldn't defeat closer and peoples who were even broken into small states in the case of the Yoruba, what chance would they have without their most important weapons, in unfavourable terrain and against people with better guns. |
