Aro-Ibibio Wars
Main article: Aro-Ibibio Wars

The Aro-Ibibio Wars were a series of conflicts between the Aro people (subgroup of the Igbo) and a Ibibio in present-day Southeastern Nigeria at Ibom Kingdom from 1630 to 1902. These wars led to the foundation of the Arochukwu kingdom.

Before Igbo arrival in the Aro territory, a group of proto Ibibio migrated to the area and established the Ibom Kingdom. This proto-Ibibio group originally came from Usak Edet (Isanguele), a segment of the Ejagham in present-day Southern Cameroon. The Eze Agwu clan from Abiriba, initiated Igbo migration into the region around the mid-17th century. The Ibibio clan welcomed all until some started rebelling against the ruling house. The Eze Awgu group who lead the rebellion against the ruling family aligned with several outside forces like the Priest Nnachi from the Edda group near Afikpo, was called by their king Awgu Inobia (Eze Agwu) for help. When he arrived, Nnachi and Eze Agwu allied with prince Akakpokpo Okon of the Ibibio kingdom of Ibom Kingdom. Akakpokpo Okon was the son of a marriage between an Igbo woman of the Eze Agwu clan and the King Obong Okon Ita in an attempt of a peace treaty for a war that have been fought between the Igbo subgroup and Ibibio. The Eze Agwu/Nnachi faction decided to help Akakpokpo attempt to overthrow his brother king Akpan Okon.

The coup was heavily resisted which called for even more help. Through Nnachi, an Eastern Cross river group answered the call for help. They were known as the Akpa who were living at today Akwa Akpa before the arrival of the Efik people in that region. These warriors and traders may have had European guns which were new to the territory. Being the Igbo allies, the Akpas were led by the royal Nnubi family. Osim and Akuma Nnubi led Akpa soldiers to help fight against the ruling household. Together with Igbo forces and rebels, they fought against the Ibom Kingdom forces (1690). During the final battles, Osim Nnubi was slain in Oror city state making it the capital of Arochukwu. But at the end of the war, Osim and Akakpokpo were dead. In order to honor Osim's legacy, his brother Akuma was crowned the first EzeAro (king). After his death, Nnachi's descendants took the throne starting with his first son Oke Nnachi. The Arochukwu kingdom, was founded.

After Arochukwu was formed, it began to expand because of the growing population and territorial protection. Aro forces formed vigilante camps which eventually grew into communities on the Arochukwu-Ibibio boundaries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo_people

Ugwuoke347:
The more you talk about Biafra is the more it pains you!

The more you speak against Biafra is the more you display your demonic possession and primitive derangement.

Just to remind you that your sense is located inside your head, and you should always try to locate it and make use of it always when engaging people.

Condom burst product.

paramakina202:
Yes I land at every IPOB propaganda thread to dismantle your lies

Omonigeriarere:
A condom, just an efficient use of a condom I mean, could have saved me from this mess.

Actually I am not surprised, because this is what happens when a dullard is engaed in an intelligent conversation.

paramakina202:
I have no reason to cry but you have a thousand reason to keep crying for your phantom Biabialala

Omonigeriarere:
I am not available for unreasonable discussion a sexually starved Bingo like you, and not incessant barking.

paramakina202:
You guys are undesirable outlaws both in Nigeria and Finland bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Omonigeriarere:
If you know the meaning of co-ordination, you would have known that it is not about merriment. It is about dealing with situation the way it is without running away from realities.

I have enlightened you about the realities which I expect you to base your next comments on and not just jumping from pillar to post.

I know things are hard, but that doesn't mean that you should be reasoning with your anus.

Flamemignon1:
Again with the assumptions, who the hell told you about my status as a citizen in the UK? Lol, all I know is that you Muslim animals should get the fuk out and I don't care what it cost me

When Okonjo Iweala was sending warning despite the boom experience in terms of production and price in the oil market under your saint GEJ, you think she was high on drug? - https://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/171145-brace-tougher-times-ahead-okonjo-iweala-tells-nigerians.html

May I remind you that things even got worse to the extent that the FG was borrowing to pay salaries despite the boom -https://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/182543-nigerian-govt-borrowing-billions-to-pay-salaries-okonjo-iweala.html?tztc=1

Jonathan borrowed, buhari borrowed and the rate of debt servicing and principal repayment becomes 98% of the expected revenue and you are expecting magic; the resources must fall from trees right?

You can take my words to the bank - your current situation is a reflection of your past decisions, actions and inactions. Let that sinks into your brain.

SonofLagos:
mumu man….the joke is on your flattt head😆😆😆😆your criminal minded tribe is the one been dragged here, but as usual you come from a tribe that lacks shame😆😆

Hmmmmm2024:
Normally, sheyi law na IPOB..😂😂😂😂😂😂

Omonigeriarere:
When kids like you are behaving like ignoramus online with absolute display of ignorance, i just laugh. When IBB and Abacha coffins were produced and carried around, where were you? Oh! it becomes a taboo because it is GEJ.

For your information, when it comes to opposition since the inception of democracy, give it to SW. The same Soyinka, Tinubu, Bakare et all you are condemning and attacking day and night now were the ones leading protest to Abuja demanding the immediate recognition of GEJ as the authentic president during Yaradua's health saga - https://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/02/yaradua-soyinka-others-give-fec-10-day-ultimatum/. Ask yourself, where was the likes of Edwin Clark and other political leaders in GEJ's region as at then?

It is good to always keep quiet, but someone like you need to be tutored sometimes.

SonofLagos:
yes, just the way we identify criminals from economic deprived regions, and they usually come with a flatttt head😆😆😆😆proudly Lagos…oya increase your cry😆😆

pillager:
I wonder why you still wail about the civil war where 3 million of you folks died, isn't it the same logic, idiot

fuckingAyaya:
Ronus are always scared of their master,one werey here dey preach peace because it involves their slave master

Flamemignon1:
Where on earth did I say she's made prime minister? Lol, I'm just loving the propaganda her party is spreading, time to get you Muslim idiots and your backward mentality out of my country

toneroforever:
May God continue to bless sincere,bold & courageous people (in our different tribes) who speak out against evil.

helinues:
Hahah, we are supposed to be having this conversation with the northerners themselves. Are you a northerner? Just curious

See you acting CIVIL because the exchange is between a YORUBA man defending his tribe against a Northerner. You are even telling a YORUBA man to actually TONE down his response to the Northerners attack.

Truly...you are known as the KILLER from within.

To all YORUBA on this platform...just imagine how helinues, that claims to be YORUBA is defending a NORTHERNER that insulted YORUBA

helinues..is the enemy within.

helinues:
See, everyone is not a king here. That's why we have law and order. Even those below you will correct you stylishly when you are glaringly wrong.

Hahah, we are supposed to be having this conversation with the northerners themselves. Are you a northerner? Just curious

helinues:
Very funny set of people.

Northerners themselves can never attack the Yoruba's because of this Seyi's statement, I don't even think it's something they can reason, but those who the matter for no concern, involve already put it to head like gala

Shame oo
