Business / Re: Nigerian Engineer To Build Iraqi Railway by Scallywags: 7:18am On Oct 04, 2019
Congrats to him
Im proud of him as a black and fellow Nigerian. I'm only disturbed because Iraq is a risky place maybe that's why Iraqis gave that contract to a Nigerian . He has isil remnants to battle. I'm shocked because the contract sum is small compared with what ccecc charges Nigeria . Once he completes this contract ,I expect him to get the next one in a peaceful European country

THE EGBO ARE IGBO –

The majority of the captives taken to the Americas were from the coastal Egbo tribes and were referred to as Calabaris.

Presently in Igboland they are known as the Efik,Ibibio,Oron and Ekoi etc. and are well associated with a secret society known as the Egbo Society.

Although the present day Efik and Ibibio living in Nigeria generally deny
ancestral relations with the Igbo, this was not always the case as described by A.E. Afigbo, Professor of History at the University of Nsukka.

“ Until three or four decades ago there were many Efik and Ibibio
communities which proudly laid claims to Igbo origins but today would
treat such suggestions as an affront. Here we find the classic example of the trick which time and political consciousness play on historical writings.”

The explorer William Balfour Baike writes in 1854 that the Efik mark
was formerly the same as that used by some Igbos but more recently they have adopted another.

Egbo captives meaning those such as the Igbo descended Efik and Ibibio were targeted throughout the entire period of the slave trade beginning with the Spanish and Portuguese traders of the 16th century and continuing to arrive in the Americas throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

The Aro slave trading network of Arochukwu first established itself in
1620 with the intent of enslaving the Egbo tribes. In regards to this task they settled in the most southeastern corner of Igboland,lands belonging to the semi-autonomous Egbo nation called Egbo-Shari.https://www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/the-greater-igbo-nation-by-ishaq-d-al-sulaimani/comment-page-2/

Erik/Ibibio history with Igbo isn't the same as idoma. Idoma mingle through Enugu boarder while efik/ Ibibio and Igbo share genes and are more related . aro Confederacy is all over south east and its efik/ Ibibio/ Igbo blood 90% . do u know that Ibibio traders are one of d founders of Nike in Enugu state? U hardly speak Igbo sentence without sharing one or two words with efik/ Ibibio. Efik/ Ibibio migrated from arochukwu and their remnants r now igbos while idoma move to Igbo land and mingle. What's dcreal name of Ibibio? It's IBO bio. Igbo is IBO .British couldn't pronounce IBO and IBO bio so they corrupted it to Igbo And Ibibio. If Igbo is IBO and Ibibio is IBO bio then Igbo= Ibibio

Who paired Efik with Urhobo and Itsekri?.its urhobo-isoko, efik- Ibibio, hausa- Fulani. The whole Delta apart from ijaw migrated from beni- Yoruba axis. Igbo ,efik-ibibio,ijaws r linked but each want to be alone. Efik- Ibibio has its own Jewish story and they don't depend on Igbo for anything
