pazienza:
You are not even Igbo or from SE.

That doesn't matter. I know the history of all our Igboid neighbors, especially the ones in Abia state, and that is what matters.

pazienza:
Minorities never owned Arochukwu..

Keep on crying. My guess is that you're neither from Abia nor an Aro man.

Indian juju strong no be lie

pazienza:
Stop writing rubbish.
At no point did Arochukwu belong to Ibibio people.
The people Aros had dealings with were Eburutu( Efiks) and not Ibibios.
The both groups lived side by side until the Eburutu people left.

Mister man, go and read Aro history. Present-day Arochukwu was inhabited by a Proto-Ibibio group until the Aros and Abam people arrived and waged a campaign that culminated in the Aro-Ibibio wars. Go and read and stop arguing!

gidgiddy:
So hundreds of years ago, the area now known as Arochukwu was called 'Ibom', and Igbos invaded, drove Ibibios out, took over the place and called it Arochukwu? That the narrative you want people to believe?

Igbos don't operate that way, there's no history of Igbos fighting to drive out an Indigenous population and take it over their land.

What I believe happend was that Aros wanted to settle on a virgin land, Ibibios laid claim to it, and there was a battle, Aros won and kept the land. There's no way Aros would have gone through the trouble to driving out Indigenous people of a land hundreds of years ago when there was still plenty of virgin lands owned by nobody

Lmao. What do you mean by Igbos don't operate that way? Prior to the coming of Northern European imperialists, was there anything like an Igbo identity let alone a common mode of operation? Why do you think there are scores of Igboid subgroups like mine who reject the Igbo tag? In the past, the people referred to as Igbos today were very heterogenous. Some Igboid communities had a centralized leadership system with Obis, Ezes, and Igwes holding absolute power while some Igboid communities were acephalous and decentralized. Many Igboid dialects were not even mutually intelligible and their cultures were very different from each other. Even the theories behind the existence of the "Igbo" people are so much that nobody knows their actual origins, yet you think under these complex circumstances "Igbo" people had a common mode of operation? Mister man, go and make some research about the origin of Arochukwu then you will understand why an Aro man is more closely related to the Akwa-cross people than an "Igbo" man from Anambra. There's so much to your history that you don't know.

zero8zero:
It makes them land grabbers. You can't gloss over it.

Lmao. What more do I expect from a Tinubu supporter like you? Based on your logic, the Yorubas of the Old Oyo empire were equally land grabbers because they waged expansionist campaigns, same applies to the Igalas who made incursions Southwards and the Hausa-Fulanis. Good read!

zero8zero:
They're still land grabbers. The reason Spanish, Argentines, Red indians also do taunt Britain as land grabbers. If you settled on another man's land through barbaric acts, you're a land grabber.

The same Spanish people who according to your logic have grabbed numerous lands in the new world? Based on your logic, every single ethnicity on the face of the earth is land grabber because they all stole/conquered lands in one way or the other.

gidgiddy:
Arochukwu was known as Ibom? You guys make me laugh. Ibom is a forest miles from Arochukwu

So other parts of Arochukwu such as Ndi-okoroji, Amasu were known as what?

Man, stay humble and learn. Ibom is an Efik-Ibibio word. It was used to name several Efik-Ibibio settlements and Arochukwu was one of them. Atp, I'm tired of bantering with non-Aro people because every Aro man knows this about their land.

Ngwamankilyou2:
Shut up still Igbo control rivers and still thee till tomorrow.

Every animal claim Port that we the ngwas even control.

First of all, LOL

Second of all, LMAO

Thirdly, are you joking? How can Ngwa that can't even control Abia state where it has more than four LGA's control Rivers state? Ngwa, the most hated and shortest subgroup in the South East wan come dey form power for Rivers

Ipobfraud:
It still better pass the entire igbo land, cry

Low IQ chief has spoken. Niger state isn't close to any Southern state in terms of development. Go and check the per capita income, HDI, Literacy rate, and Gini coefficient of Niger state and tell me a state in Southern Nigeria that it can rival.

BadBradley:
you mean as Fulani renamed Ilorin?

Whatever rocks your boat.

gidgiddy:
It was never Ibibio land, otherwise, it would not be called Arochukwu. Ask any Ibibio the name of the place, and they say 'Arochukwu'. If it ever belonged to Ibibios, don't you think they would have given it an Ibibio name?

I don't know where you are from, but I'm sure you're not from Abia or surrounding areas because every knowledgeable Abian knows that Arochukwu was Ibibio land just as present-day Turkey was inhabited by the Greeks of the Byzantine empire. Arochukwu was known as Ibom in the past until Crossriver Igbo forces connived to conquer the land and renamed it as Arochukwu just as Turks renamed Costantinople as Istanbul

JoeEeL:
Yes.

Go back to school mister man.

Ipobfraud:
Oga igbo no add anything to Nigeria, all igboland no reach niger state. Abeg rest since, una they kill una self they do sit at home, who it affect, na still una. Why all tribes they always fight una?make una ask una self, una close neighbor ss people despise una like shit. You people need to sit down and ask, why don't we have allies? And without allies you can never achieve biafra.

Using Niger state in your analogy is the only thing that makes me 100% sure that you're among the millions of low IQ black men. California as a state isn't as big as Nigeria, yet it has a higher GDP than all of Africa. Of what use is your landmass if you have millions of people living in abject poverty and wallowing in illiteracy?

muykem:
Do you know that these people took almost all phortcourt land before civil War. Assuming federal government didn't assist Ikwere to get their land back, they could have become alien in phortcourt by now.

I am Ikwerre and nothing like that happened. No federal government helped us and nobody tried to grab our lands. In fact, Igbos from the hinterland fled and left Port Harcourt and their properties were branded "abandoned properties"

CHAQUR:
Like Israel, like their wanna be...!
Israel on Palestinian lands...
Wannabes on ibibio's land.

Like Palestinians, like their terrorist wannabes in Nigeria like you lol

Atinuke12267:
Hmm

They want to grab land again.

Cross river people should teach them a bitter lesson.

I don’t know if they are cursed to always grab land

Tinubu low IQ voter spotted. Cross River is a heterogenous state home to a number of ethnicities. Which ethnicity are you supporting in the fight? Choose one.

zero8zero:
Land grabbers, even Google search will cure your ignorance. Even the Ibini Ukpabi, the oracle of the Arochukwu belongs to the Ibibio till date. Son, know your history.

Using the word "Land grabbers" for the analogy you used is screaming quintessential low IQ man. Who doesn't know that in the past tribes waged war against each other for expansionist agendas? Based on your rhetoric, can we also claim that the Turks originally from Central Asia who conquered Anatolia and settled down there or the British people who defeated and conquered the Red Indians and settled down in America are land grabbers?

t2luv1:
But Biafra tends to lay claim to South-South as their own. Are you telling me it ain't so?

Nobody lays claim to South-South. Stop fanning violence here. The people of South South are too heterogeneous to be claimed by a group.

Paraman:
Arochuku is Ibibio land

Lmao, Arochukwu was ibibio land in the past, but the Ibibios were defeated in the Aro-Ibibio wars that occured hundred of years ago at the same time when various tribes and nations were waging expansionist campaigns. However, today's inhabitants of Arochukwu are mostly half Igbo and half Efik-Ibibio genetically. This applies to many people from the eastern part of Abia state. A native of Eastern Abia state is more closely related to the Akwacross people than an Igbo man from Anambra or Delta.

Bwanasaraw:
By the year 2030 Russian women wiill no longer be seeing Russian men to marry

What African leaders fail to understand is that the Russia & China they are romancing with also have some form of imperialism in them.

Not some form of. They're staunch imperialists. The Russians you see today colonized almost every country in the Caucasus from Azerbaijan to Georgia to Kazkhstan down to even Belarus, Lithuania, and Latvia in Eastern Europe. This is why in all of these countries I mentioned Russian is one of the most spoken/primary languages and there are millions of people in these countries who descended from Russian invaders. People in these countries hate Russia the same way many Francophone Africans hate France. As for China, they're economic imperialists. They're the worst of them all because they're sleek, stealthy, and very insidious.

Lanre1st:
You’re really correct, that one of the reasons Niger Head of state also ask US base in their country to park because they are sponsoring Insurgences

But the Niger Head of State failed to pursue the millions of brainwashed Nigerien islamists. What's the color of your brains?

greenermodels:
France and her allies are sponsoring, arming, training and deploying these terrorists against the francophone African countries that kicked out the Western neocolonialisers from their homeland. They're also providing intelligence information to the terrorists.

Yes, It's also the west that told you guys to kill Deborah and they also told Arabs to enslave and castrate millions of African abi? Mumu people everywhere

richeeyo:
You can say that again
Apart from weapons this guy's now have very good intel of the battle ground

Yes, It was also the west that gave Hausa Islamists intel about Deborah. Mumu people too much

greenermodels:
they can't exist without a foreign power backing them u, that's the mistake the Biafrans did so making both the British and the Russians to support the Nigerian side.

Which foreign power backed the Ottomans when they fought against the British, French, Greek, and Russian occupation of their lands?

Simeonjoe1:
Only to bring about Russian colonizers.
You see why Africans no wise?

LOW IQ choke for our continent. There's no way forward until our IQs increase.

Iweakbro:
Lol. The same terrorist they fought against? But why is it easy to get Muslims to carry out terror attacks?

The best question I've seen so far. Kudos to you

MadamExcellency:
What is Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) doing in West Africa? Abi, is this their region, who invited them? Terrorism no dey tire Islamists?

West Africa has the largest Muslim population in Sub-Saharan Africa. Na why peace dey always elude us
