Xavfra:A lot of people laugh at you when you compare the Igbos with Yorubas in Education.Every Nigerian knows that putting Yoruba in the same sentence with Education is naturally normal but Igbo and Education is just like saying that a goat is flying. |
TUANKU:If I may ask you,what is development? Everybody knows that Lagos is the most developed place in Nigeria because it has all the indices. Does Kano have more industries,Higher institutions, man power etc than Ogun state? |
AmazingELixir:Afonja is the name of the founder of Ilorin. ..(war camp). What about OSU? |
valx2:You mean this noise?
|
LadyExcellency:lol What did you have that were bombed? ![]() You literally had thatched roofed huts. |
Charleys:America's development starts from White house and stops at New York.Talk is cheap. Ibadan has more infrastructures than SE. Ibadan has better Road Network than the entire Igboland. If you are even half as sure as you want me to believe,you would post a few statistics or pictures but you don't have anything except running away from facts with cheap talk. THIS IS JUST ONE BUILDING IN IBADAN WHICH THE ENTIRE IGBOLAND DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING CLOSE TO.IBADAN HAS MANY OF THIS O.

valx2:OSU COWARDS..... More than 70 Fulanis were decimated in Oke Ogun,Oyo state. Almost 100 Hausa/Fulanis were recently decimated in Ife,Osun state etc. Yorubas know their strength and will not want to obliterate Fulanis who have the good,bad and the ugly... The Yoruba system is to warn you extensively and when you don't heed the warnings.. KABOOOOM....you are decimated. Just like battalions of Biafrans were decimated at Ore. ![]() OSU COWARDS...ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO RUN TO IVORY COAST. ![]()

IDeyNL:The SE as a whole is already an IDP CAMP. There is no state that does not have IDP camp in the SE. Leave SW alone and face front. Meanwhile,only Ibadan city is more developed... ![]() |

Kingscee:What are you saying?The richest people in Nigeria are the most educated,most industrialized, most developed and most accommodating and they are the Yorubas.

ChoCho54:You better learn about your tribe because you don't really have the ability to fight war wirhout having rugged people like the Yorubas or South south people helping you. The ethnic group that should be shouting that they are superior and rightly so, are the Yorubas because of their intelligence, achievements etc then and now but they don't do that except when you come with your stupidity. You have always said that you are superior to everybody but realities and what you were/are say otherwise.You are one of the lowliest and dumbest Africans. These are the reasons... 1.You were colonised by a small ethnic group and called Igbos which is derogatory. 2.You were taken as slaves by Igala and Ijaw ,both of them are small ethnic groups. 3.You practised canni..li.. 4.You had no leader and didn't know you are one people until recently. 5.You learnt how to wear clothes in 1921 even when Yorubas have gotten their empire since 1300.Yorubas who should be the ones beating their chests never walked unclad in their lives. Etc. I am not trying to disparage the Igbos because I believe that we are all great people but they should stop these hallucinations or at least do the hallucinations in the corners of their abodes but not publicly. Rwandas are great people. They came out of their miseries in less than 25 years and they are even better and stronger. Stop disturbing the cyberspace with your stupidities. They are one too many. |
A word is enough for the wise.. |
BuhariAdvocate:This is the evidence.
|
Frankdoz8:Are you talking about these Igbos/Ibos? Igbos are the dumbest in Africa.They started to learn how to wear clothes in 1921.

StaffofOrayan:Orayan ![]() Osuland beckons. |
Islie:Cry baby.Amotekun will be more successful than success. Miyetti Allah will not last because they are always negatively inclined. Amotekun is here to stay. |

What protection facilities are we Yorubas going to insulate ourselves with in terms of our 2 'extremists' neighbours.... Hausas/Fulanis hate Christians/Christianity Igbos hate Muslims/Islam. How are we going to shut off these 2 terrorists because one can see that they are both infiltrating Yorubaland and its people gradually. If Yorubas do not do something about this horrible scenario,then there is bound to be conflicts. Yorubas believe that there is no compulsion in religion. Hausas/Fulanis and Igbos ,pls stay off Yorubas God-given love and tolerance for one another and God will continue to bless you. |
Lostz:Like Anambra is ruled by Eze,abi.? ![]() |
IGALA COLONISATION OF NORTHERN IGBO STATES* (1450–18th century). Michael Achile Umameh The Igala mega state attained the height of its fame during the mid-17th century. The rise of the Igala mega state disrupted and contributed to the shift of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade from the Bight of Benin to the Bight of Biafra and the decline of the Benin Empire between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Idah-Benin war (1515-1516) was a war of mutual independence. The Igala state reached its political and commercial supremacy afterwards, when it became a leading exporter of choral beads, horses, medicine, skills and of course, slaves to the coastal region. Its growing power, nevertheless, changed the dynamics of the earlier complex relationships with several northern Igbo communities. Joseph Hawkins in 1797 already captured the relentless raiding of the extreme northern Igboland by the Igalas. In his “A History of a Voyage to the Coast of Africa” he noted the growing conflicts between the 'Ebo Country' and 'Galla'. By the late 17th century, the Igalas conquered and held socio-economic, political and religious control of the indigenous northern Igbo mini-states. From Opi, Nsukka, Nsugbe, several Igbo communities on the Anambra river, the lower Niger, through Okpanam to Asaba the Igala held sway. Trading out post with Onitsha and the Ijo middlemen were fully established. The mythical Omeppa, Inenyi Ogugu set up garrison at Opi and several Igala warlords played their part in the build up of the Igala colonial take over of these northern Igbo states. But no other individual played a greater role in shaping Igala-Igbo colonisation during the 18th century than Onoja Oboni, the legendary Igala warrior and slave trader. Onoja Oboni’s personality and heritage has been shrouded in mythical imagery over time. Ranging from being the Son of Eri, the grandson of Aganapoje to being a descendant of one of the Idah royal families; the priestly sub-clan of Obajeadaka in Okete-ochai-attah. The key areas of consensus are; he was a master strategist, slave raider and trader, conqueror, coloniser and imperialist. Added to these were his diplomacy, expansionist traits and the acculturation of conquered territories. He built himself a walled city in Ogurugu and recent archaeological findings of the remnant of the ruins of his fort on the grounds of the University of Nsukka confirm this. The Igala soldiers built forts and fortifications that stretched from Ete down to Opi and then to Anambra. Oboni’s rise to power affected the history of the North-western Nsukka and the Igbo communities on the Anambra River and the Lower Niger during the Igala commercial and socio-cultural ascendancy and domination. This was the reinforcing of the golden age of Igala imperial expansion. In this way, Igala mega state took control and allegiance were paid. Until the decline of Igala power, the Ezes of Enugu Ezike, Akpugo, Nkpologu, Ibagwa Ani and Opi continued to receive their titles from Idah; investiture, installation and confirmation of their office was only by the royal blessing of Attah Igala in Idah. The Eze were only validated when the returned home with Igala choral beads ‘aka’, staff of office believed to be imbued with protective charms to ensure longevity and security of the Eze as well as prestige animal (horse) to bolster up their ego. There were also periodic royal visits to the Atta Igala to pay tributes and as well intended to strengthen diplomatic ties and inter-group relations, renew allegiance, and assured insurance from slave raids In terms of indigenous technologies, the Igala soldiers built factories (forges) for manufacturing Dane-guns, ironworks, carving, introduced arrowheads with tip-poison from sting ray; cloth knitting, terracing of Nsukka hillsides and brought in a well developed political and social hierarchies. At this time Igala empire had become a cultural exchange hub for other merging states; the influence was felt as far north as the Nok civilisation and down east to Igbo-Ukwu civilisation. Till date many of the Igala-Nsukka borderland remain bilingual. On the religious level, the Igala installed their own priests- the Attama- as the custodian of the dangerous ‘alusi’ shrine, took control as mediators between the spirit and the Igbo communities, presided over divinations and fashioned ‘Ikenga’, ‘Okwute’ (ritual staffs) that combined both Igala and Igbo religious elements. The Attama thus became the major agents of Igala socio-cultural control. Several efforts to keep the Attama lineage Igala failed, eventually the priestly office have been greatly igbonized, even though the nominal Igala identification is still predominant. Many of the northern Igbo state settlements have lineages with Igala names, cultural practices with marked Igala modification and adaptations. The use of Igala circular basket in contrast to the Igbo rectangular types persists till this day. By the turn of the 19th century, the Igala empire was too large for any reliable and robust central control. Internal decay and implosion set in. The Fulani jihadists started contracting the Igala imperial power, conquered territories in the north switched tributes, forced or/and seceded from the Igala empire. The Bassa war added more pressure to the war-weary empire. The abolition of slave trade brought in untold economic recession. In 1914 the British burnt down Ibagwa and Obukpa as a punitive measure. By the 1920s, Igala empire was a spent force and a limping shadow, the British easily took over control of both Nsukka and the Igala territories https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319687582_IGALA_COLONISATION_OF_NORTHERN_IGBO_STATES_1450-18th_century |
