I can make a bet with my last life that Akiolu never made this ahistorical, codeine-influenced comment from the spurious, dubious link you shared: . "Traditionally, Aworis were found in Ile- ife; they were known to be the Binis, who followed their self - exiled prince, the first son of the Ogiso (now called Oba ) of Benin Kingdom, whose stepmother was after his head . “ The exiled Benin Prince Izoduwa, known to Yoruba as Ooduwa (Oduduwa ), was made ruler of the Ife people due to his powers and followers from the great Benin Kingdom. “ Izoduwa (Ooduwa) was made the first king of Ile- Ife in 1230 AD. His followers from his father’ s Kingdom in Benin are today’s Awori people, who settled in Eko now called Lagos." Whichever fraudulent Benin revisionist attributed this horseshit to Akiolu should try harder. The Aworis, the descendants of Ogunfunminire, were Binis? Awori people have suffered!
Anambralstson: Abia governors you attack online have done far better than your governors
Go to Osun the current governor is practically doing nothing because of huge debts incurred by previous administration, same thing is happening in Ekiti, Oyo and Ogun state.
My own is, when are you guys moving back in droves to your erosion-ravaged landlocked mudland of Ngwa cannibals? Why do you guys infested other people's homelands like mendicant gypsies?
Etinosa1234: how is it a fact... Post the historian that supports this claim
in as much as u deny ashipa being Benin I'll also deny ashipa as being of ijesha descent except u have proof... solid onr
Dude, I'm talking about Alaagba, not Ashipa. Ashipa's Origin is not my business. Just setting the record straight that all the Obas of Lagos from Oba Ologun Kutere are descendants of the Ijesha man Alaagba. The Obas of Lagos since then have been Patrilineally Ijesha (Yoruba), not Benin. It's not in your place to deny that fact, amigo.
somtoto: olodo!!! Unizik is the only university with zero cultism
Lol, how you Igbo guys lie with this much confidence even about things that can be easily verified though. Delusions or what? Zero cultism indeed. Bloody liars! http://www.newslinknaija.com/2018/03/unizik-at- war-as-cult-groups-clash.html
Etinosa1234: Which historical evidence supports this...
U go just dey ur Brown roof dey talk wetin nor happen
What "historical evidence" supports that fact that all the Obas of Lagos from Ologun Kutere are descendants of Alaagba, the Ijesha Babalawo of Oba Akinshemoyin? It's a fact that Alaagba, the Ijesha man, was the father of Oba Ologun Kutere. What "historical evidence" are you looking for?
Mrs Nkechi Anazodo must be an Afonja woman masquerading as Igbo working for Lagos-Ibadan Media to tarnish the image of the great Igbo and Omanbala people. That's how they also say Igboland is also landlocked and erosion-ravaged.
hammerU: WE DONT WANT TOMORROW ONE UPSTART LIKE ASARI DOKUNBO WILL COME AND BE TELLING US THAT IGBO SLAVE TRADE WENT THROUGH THEM BECAUSE THEY OCCUPIED OUR SEA ACCESS AND THAT MAKE THE ENTIRE IGBO PEOPLE, IJAW S.LAVE.
WE ARE VERY GOOD LEARNERS AND GOD BE MY WITNESS, IJAW PEOPLE CAN GO MARK THIS WORDS, THE DAY THEY DARE FORCE OUR HANDS, WILL BE THE END OF ALL THEIR CREEK SETTLEMENT ON THE COAST OF RIVERS STATE.
Lol, Igbos and empty chest-beating. Small python now, you'll wail to UN and Trump to come and rescue you. Oga go and sleep joor!
Prettyvirginia: Following the consistent encroachment of their land by the neighboring Ukpo community, Abba community today protested at the gate of Anambra State Government Awka, accusing billionaire, Engr Arthur Arthur Eze of masterminding their travails.
But I thought Igbo people are lightskinned/fairskinned? Why are these ones darkskinned? These people must be impostors from Ghana masquerading as Igbos, lol
You might get confused and start mixing it up. It works for some people though, but it's not advisable.
Focus on one language, spend time to master it, and learn its syntaxes. After much practice and you see that you are confident with it, you can start learning another language.
Trust me, when you start, you would see that they are quite a handful.
Thanks so much for this bro, very much appreciated.
You decide to keep rooted to your neck of woods to practise mindless tribalism and intolerance.
Akerodolu is an exposed man...He should not pay attention to the petty whinimgs of malcontents...
You no wan the obnrrin to enjoy the benefit of having an in-law as governor?
Go get your own sister/relative to marry a governor...
Was that why Ojukwu's family was against Bianca representing Anambra South in the Senate because she's from Enugu State? Was that why Abia sacked non-indigene workers from Imo State? Was that why Mbaise people protested against a Catholic Bishop from representing them because he hailed from Anambra State. Osu boy, look inwards, your fart stinks. Bloody hypocrites!
unbitchable: STFU! I called you out first, so, i expect that you charge at me with your lying teeth. The reverse is the case for you spouting ignorantly and quite pathetically, thus, you do not only lack basic comprehension skills but basic reasoning abilities. If you're too lazy to look it up in a dictionary, at least, you have a phone, use Google, damn it!
Your initial post was well attacked because it was fradulently intended. You might think this forum comprises as much dumb people as your radio biafra. You're nothing but a low level compulsive liar.
Imagine the colossal buffoon doubling down on his fraudulent, codeine-influenced claim. Now it's just 10% of Yorubas who have between 50%-70% and 80% of Igbo blood? As if that makes dubious claims better. How do these paranoid IPOB idiots just pull out figures from their own delusional asses? Does this clown know what 10% of the Yoruba population is? I've stopped replying the clown though.
forgiveness: How did you arrive at 1.6m people for Aja people out of the 2.1m people? I will like to know where you got that figure from?
I know you have been lying but today, I don catch you.
Please don't bother yourself too much about him. He's clearly mentally unstable. The paranoid idiot also claimed that about 50%-70%/80% of Yoruba people have Igbo blood because of intermarriage. Does that look like someone that is alright in the head to you?
On one list the total number of slaves exported from bight of Biafra was 1.7 m
Yet on another list the total number exported was 1.4 million
It looks to me that you doctored some list.
He's the same delusional buffoon who claimed that about 50%-70%/80% of Yoruba people have Igbo blood because of intermarriage, lol. Why take anything he has to offer after that serious?
bigfrancis21: It is not confirmed. His father was given the name, Oludara, by a Yoruba priest. Some African Americans adopt African names for that ancestral connection but his Yoruba ancestry, if any, isn’t confirmed. I’ve met a few African Americans with Igbo names like Chinua, Nnamdi etc but these names were given to them by their parents, but no Igbo ancestry was medically confirmed.
This paranoid, fraudulent IPOB liar has started again. That was you claimed the name "Ebo" of an African American woman was a corruption of Igbo, even though the name means something in another African language. Nnamdi ko, Kanu ni.
bigfrancis21: Plenty of Igbo imprints in the new world, you just never bothered to look for them. I have posted many of them here in the past, several years ago and will repost them later today, getting ready to go out.
@bold....it might be true but majority of the slaves from the bight of benin were aja peoples, not Yoruba. Individually speaking in terms of Nigerian ethnic groups, far more Igbo slaves were exported vs Yoruba slaves. Also, more Yoruba slaves returned to Nigeria vs Igbo slaves (very few, settling mostly in Onitsha, Aba and PH), thus further reducing the number of afro descendants with Yoruba DNA vs Igbo.
Dude, this is the last time I'll reply you. I only took an interest in whatever you had to contribute because your fellow fraudulent IPOB dude Pazienza cited you as an authoritative figure when it comes to issues like this. But alas, you're even worse off than Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB cretins.
Pulling dubious figures out of your own delusional ass. First you claimed Igbo is the third largest ethnic group in EG, even though they're only a part of the 1.4% "other." Then you claimed Yoruba people have at least 50% of Igbo blood in them. What sane human being will take you serious after your codeine-influenced, asinine, dubious claims. Go home dude, you're drunk! Sod off!
bigfrancis21: Of course they relocated there from Ife. They didn't just land there from the sky did they? Isn't the 'we migrated from Ife' theory popular in the SW? Or do people migrate by flying?
Of course they traveled from Ife to settle in Togo and today are indigenous. The same for the EG Igbos.
Entirely different from the Ignorant migrants in EQ.
[quote author=bigfrancis21 post=90086202][/quote]Dude, the Ana Ife are indigenous to Togo. They left Ife so long ago hence they still call Ife "Ife Odaiye." Go to Kambole and tell them they're not indigenous there.
bigfrancis21: The overwhelming majority of slaves taken from this Bight were Igbo and it was consistent from the start till the end of the slave trade. Igboland was densely populated and had the population to sustain the slave trade demands.
There were more slaves taken from the Bight of Benin than the Bight of Biafra (which also included ethnic minorities). Even the Efik-Ibibio people left an imprint of their culture on Cuba via Abakua. We can't same for Igbo anywhere though, except "Igbo Landing."
bigfrancis21: Yes once again, Yorubas were the very last group to enter slavery. It's been mentioned here before. The abolishment of slavery coincided with the British occupation of Nigeria/Lagos, Lagos was declared a territory of the British and the Oba at that time declared that Yoruba slaves could return, hence the ease for some to return as they knew their roots.
In terms of exports, they were far lesser than the Congolese, Angolan, Aja (Fon, Ewe, Gbe people) and Igbo ethnic groups.
Congolese is isn't an ethnic group, aneither is Angolan. And you're a fraudulent "historian" for claiming Yoruba were "far lesser" in exports to Fon, Ewe and Igbo people. No wonder you also claimed Igbo is the third largest population in EG.
