So where’s you in that video?

RedboneSmith:
Will it be possible for us to correspond by mail? I have a few questions to ask about Igala words, but I do not want to do it here.

I have a few questions for you too re. similar stuff. You’re more than welcome to drop me an emily too.

Yo. Check your inbox and that.

why have u ignored me

I’ve been busy at work Ije. You’ve got my undivided attention tata.

The Uruan subgroup of the Ibibios were there first. Then the Igbo under Eze Agwu came next. The Igbo clashed with the Ibibios and brought an Edda native doctor Oke Nnachi to make war medicine for them. The Edda doctor in turn recruited the Akpa mercenary warriors under the command of Akuma Nnubi. After the war which expelled the Ibibios (except for a small remnant that integrated into the new emerging Aro society) Akuma became king, but after a while, the kingship passed from the Akuma (Akpa) line to the Oke Nnachi (Edda) line.

This is the summary of a complicated foundation tradition that has many versions. If Odumchi is still here he may have a thing or two to add or correct. He is a son of the soil.

I see. And what about those Aro communities scattered across Igboland (aka not just Arochikwu)? Birds of the same feather?

?

What do the Abians in the house call this? Is there such a thing as egusi with okazi leaves or does it become okazi soul the minute you add okazi?

Achara no dey sha. Achara no dey.

Preyi g on me how

Ignore those yeye replies.

I’m helping this lady now. Someone should close this thread.

We know you were born daft. You obviously failed your studies in school, if you think everyone who does not share your views is an Afonja. There are over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria, but you are too clueless to realise that. Onye eberibe!

E don tey wey I see you for this Culture section. Back to cause mischief and recite your stock phrases, hm? O chimo.

Dude, forget it. It has been established in the academic world already that a higher number of Igbo slaves were sent overall (1.4m), compared to Yoruba slaves (circa 500,000), and that Yoruba slave trade peaked in the 1800s, about 100 to 150 years after Igbo slaves had been sold considerably. That is why I am not surprised when I see articles like this about many African American DNA testings turning out to be Igbo. Plenty of them. In terms of DNA, it is expected that more afro-descended peoples would carry more partial or full Igbo DNA than Yoruba, whereas in terms of African religion, the Yoruba one is the most popular in the new world and we would expect more adherents of Ifa compared to Obeah. Also, gone are those days of the early 2000s when writers were quick to assume any black person practising Ifa to be of Yoruba origin, which tended to erroneously exaggerate the number of Yoruba slaves exported to the new world. Nowadays, with DNA testing and more enlightenment, it is now a common thought (or common sense I would say), that the number of Yoruba exports was smaller than originally thought, and that Ifa is only a religion encompassing several members descended from different tribes in West Africa, and that not all Ifa followers are of Yoruba ancestry, thus it would be wrong to assume so. That is, one could be mostly of Kongo descent while practising Ifa, just as Roman Catholics of Nigeria are not descended from Rome but practice the Roman Catholic faith.

Moreover this is not a fight or comparison. Of course you do care about Igbo affairs and that is why you are always quick to rush into any Igbo-focused thread like this to 'stylishly' insert some Yoruba mention or whatnot. Dude, quit that child's play. Igbo is Igbo and Yoruba is Yoruba and each tribe in the new world is known for different things. Just last week I met an African American answering Nnamdi as his name, given to him from birth by his African American parents and, to my surprise, the dude even knows what the name means and a few Igbo words.

I saw this thread earlier and passed. I only returned here specifically to trash your false ideologies and unnecessary display of exuberance.

As if Scholes0 is not being Scholes0.

I want you to read up on Mami Wata, Haitian loas and Haitian Voodo as a whole. I call those three the trinity. There’s also something to be said on male-female energies and homosexuality on those pages. Wiki it.

Anyone have the history behind the indigenes of Aro(chukwu) and how the people eventually became Igbo?

I’m trying to help you. You just need to stick to the action plan I gave you. Come on. Stop posting it on here. There’s nothing the wider Nigerian public can do for you than I can’t and a hundred times more.

faridaije:
how can you help me?

Send me an email and we’ll talk in private.

Please. I’m begging you in the name of Oluwa. Let me help you.

You won’t get sensible replies on an open Nigerian forum. Just inbox me.

MrOnPoint:
Go for deliverance oo. This is not sounding ordinary

Typical Nigerian fool. It’s all about deliverance.

Ignore the stupid posts on here. Inbox me and I’ll advise you.

I’ll stress again it’s only Wright’s liquid smoke that’s worth buying. That one na pure smoke and water. The other brands sold in the market have added preservatives and nonsense like vinegar in them. Not good.

Oyibos do this liquid smoke distin all the time. It’s just that most Nigerians haven’t heard about it.

Probz:
Who wants to know how to get the authentic smoky party jollof rice flavour without firewood?

There’s a few easy things you can do that only the mamas at the top know about. But I’ve discovered them, innit. Holla at me.

This thing I can recommend works even better if you’re based outside Nigeria.

^

The secret’s a drop or two of liquid smoke (Wright’s and only Wright’s brand). If you’re in the States go buy and add a drop to whatever you want to have a smoky flavour to (not just party jollof). You can use laspong souchong tea bags anywhere in obodo oyibo (that gives a smoky flavour too). One of those two will be fine. Just don’t burn the pot kpatakpata in the name of jollof. That one’s just burnt jollof.

You can order Wright’s liquid smoke on eBay if you’re not in America (that’s what I did). Una should try am and let me know how it goes.

This is the type of discussion that needs to be had. Who’s got information about this?

Oyibos do that too. It’s funny when niggas openly suggest that they need western civilisation. Inferiority complex really does run that deep.

White Rice and Bournvita

Did you use the Milo as stew?

Ingredients:

Beef and/or Goat Meat
Fresh plum tomatoes
Ose Nsukka (yellow pepper)
Conc. tomato paste (aka Gino/De Rica...)
At least 2 onions
Stock cubes (Maggi/Knorr/Onga...)
Crayfish
Nigerian curry leaves or nchaunwu
Oil
Salt

1. De-seed the tomatoes and blend coarsely with the yellow pepper.
2. Boil the tomato-pepper purée in a pot till it’s dry.
3. Heat some oil in a separate pot, fry an onion and add the purée. Fry until you see streaks of oil, the oil is separated from the tomatoes and (most importantly) the sour taste is gone.
4. Mix the De Rica in a bowl with water until it’s as watery as the stew. Add and fry till the tangy taste is gone and the oil rises to the top again.
5. Cook your beef/goat meat with onions, Maggi and salt.
6. Add the stock to the stew (small so the stew won’t be watery) and add crayfish and the vegetables (skip the crayfish if it’s curry leaves you will use). Stir and leave it to simmer and it’s done innit.

vinegurl:
Sorry, I don't think there is any difference, but Yoruba jollof rice might be a little bit peppery compared to the Igbo's version. Also Igbo jollof rice might contain crayfish and maybe some vegetables; it is just my own observation, but there is no much difference.

That ewa’s a troll but that’s the difference, yh. I’m always fervently praying that they haven’t put crayfish in the jellof rice whenever I attend Igbo events.
