Your engrish is terrible Oga

obryneblaque:
Okay

Sapiosexuality:
Very good. Good points. I agree that physical strength was the backbone of our survival in the past but not anymore. Physical strength is no longer the tools we need to succeed and survive. Physical strength helped us build crude tools but it was an awakening of mental strength that changed everything. Newton, Einstein, P.C Dirac, Marie Curie, Leo Szilard, Roentgen, Rutherford, etc., contributed in changing that.

Sapiosexuality:
This is a machine age. Men who do the most physical work work for men who have the most creative energy. He is often out of shape with zero physical strength but he controls men and women who are that powerful. What does that tell you? We are in the era of the mind.
The world has changed. Physical strength is no longer the determinant of strength. The intellectual age has changed everything.

I'm not arguing who's more physically stronger but that we've evolved to a period where physical strength is not the criteria for heading a home. In the past because of the crudity of man it made sense. But not anymore. We have evolved. What advantage does the Anthony Joshua have over Bill Gates? That's too much. What advantage does Beyonce's bouncers have over her? We've experiened an evolution of the mind.

You seem to be very bad with words ,anyway, I just stated the truth . Anyway, you just gave me a definite opinion of your bias self because, you have expressed your opinion severally on Yoruba thread,why condemn me? Get out of here?, Tribal war? with whom? Did you see who quoted me? Don't be in a hurry to judge me. I stated the fact as it was from the period even before 18th century. I don't have time to get into war with anyone. I ain't ready for unprofitable e-war with anyone.

Olu317:
That is a new identity adopted by all of you in the new era but truthfully, you were referred as Igbos, in the olden days. After all, Samuel Ajayi crowther was one of the helping hands in helping the you people in standardising your language's alphabetical order.

Why the hateful comment towards your own race? The ignorant video was made by a white guy.

I knew sooner or later, that you were going to show up and quote me, in your bid to seek attention from me, like you usually do. OK, you have been noticed. Now, run along and play with your toys in that little corner, like a good toddler.

Hehehe. Your nonsense will not work.

The Portuguese and the Dutch bought cloth from the Ijebu, the Bini and the Itsekiri.

The Igbo-Ukwu finds prove that the people had woven cloth as early as the 9th century.

In my part of Delta State (Anioma), we had towns that were widely famed for cloth-making long before the Europeans figured out how to sail a ship into West African waters, e.g., Ubulu-Uku and Ewuru, among others. The earliest Europeans to visit Ubulu-Uku were much impressed with the skill and the quality of the cloth of its weavers.

And of course up north, the clothes made in Kano were exported north as far as Morocco.

With the exception of a few isolated tribes here and there, there were no Nigerian ethnic group where woven cloth was completely absent in 1800. In some places, custom may dictate that children and unmarried women should not put on cloth, but this was a matter of custom - not that they had no idea of cloth.

What ignorant idiot says Africans were too stupid/lazy to figure out how clothes were made.

WeissBarlow:
For hausas i know we wear what we've always worn. I know for centuries we've been one of the largest exporters of textiles and dyed clothing in Africa. As a matter of fact we have the oldest dye pit in Africa. One of our greatest kings and his court were known for their love for expensive ostrich feather shoes.

All this would not be possible if we as a people hadn't been clothed all through this period.

Theory that Africans were walking about the way they came into the world even as of the 18th or 19th century applies to some ethnicities and still does but to say the whole of Africa is just ridiculously stuupid.

laudate:
Why are you bothered about what anyone promised me? Guy, take it easy. It is obvious that the whole matter has caused you so much pain, headache and heartache, and that is why you are wailing and ranting. Try not to kill yourself over it. Ndo.

WeissBarlow:
And that means you have to respond to every post?

WeissBarlow:
Do you have to respond?

bigfrancis21:
Not much thoughts on this. There seems to be many similarities as pointed out in the first post. One thing I strongly believe is that Igbos have got to be one of the oldest living groups in Southern Nigeria and probably all of West Africa.
