Same way Igbos are spread through Hiati, South/North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland..

You heard about Igbo landing? It was the setting of a mass suicide in 1803 by captive Igbo people who had taken control of their slave ship and refused to submit to slavery in the United States I told you earlier, Igbos are cocky folks.

This one has even lost it. i am talking about dominating an entire culture and making it relivance politically. You are here posting crap. stop abusing the internet mofo


Yoruba traditions is the only pagan african religion growing outside africa. brasil have it , cuba have it and so many others.

SuperIgbo1:
When did this happen? cos, I know Igbos had all the appointments from independence till the civil war.

Immediately, y'all introduced quota system in the scheme of things, Nigeria began to crumble. A situation, where a northerner is called to head a ministry whether or not he has any educational background.


Kenneth Dike as the first VC of the University of Ibadan and Eni Njoku as the first VC of the University of Nsukka. He made Mbadiwe the first minister for Commerce. He appointed Raymond Njoku as the first minister of transportation. He made jaja wachukwu the first minister for foreign affairs. These are just some of the appointments Zik of Africa made as the first president of Nigeria.

keep deluding yourself. , as at that time, yoruba alongside Hausa were holding the the most viable and key component position of Nigeria. The finance, The petroleum, the harbour and many others significant sector has Yoruba and hausa domination.

what is this rubbish. i care less.

Then educate yourself.

SuperIgbo1:
You should be the person worried. Cos marginalization or no marginalization, Igbos have the highest middle class in Nigeria. Statistics also show that they're the most literate Nigerians.

You see why I insist that you're dumb? Even dumber than your boyfriend, justtoostupid.

idiot, when the entire Yoruba populated the entire service amd administrative sector while hausa dominate the political arena. and you igbo are there selling obroni wawu( UK amd USA used cloth) all over lagos underbridge. you are making noice.

i care less about your Nigeria wassce performances, i didn't have mine there. yoruba have gotten a good record of that in some years back. check the same Google for that fact.

SuperIgbo1:
How can I believe you, If you don't have proofs? When we discussed about the civil war, I posted pictures from my books - you saw them.

Tell me, one territory ever captured my OYO empire. You can't have any African empire that never captured territories. For instance, the Sokoto caliphate captured all the Hausa towns/villages. Bini kingdom made Lagos their war camp. These are Nigerian instances. Now tell me one territory ever held by OYO empire. Without proofs, you're blowing hot air.

Dahomey, you are dying of is one of the empires and as for the rest history, go back to the history book.

SuperIgbo1:
At the emboldened, why then are you crying in Ilorin? You're deluded. Have you heard one Igbo cry about domination? Looool.

Oyo empire was overran by pregnant women. It's a fact not a rumour.

llol.... Goverment is marginalizing the entire south east and you are here worried about ilorin ( A city capital) Are you that daft?

SuperIgbo1:
I've been saying many facts on here. How many did your dumbass challenge? Only one backwater media outlet has that news hence, I'd not take it seriously.

And, Igbo Ukwu existed before any Yoruba village. Check out. It's not a bluff, looooool.

lol. The people reading are tracking the evidence.

i am not delude like you to depend on what the internet says.( when i post it, go find out).

The ignorant is dying with past history instead of facing what is currently happening, even at that, The Yoruba kingdom was a formidable force tracking back to ile ife.

is your brain disgracing?

SuperIgbo1:
This is your first "fact" since we started chatting, looooool. BTW, only one backwater media platform has that news. I can't take it seriously. It's not even on here, looooool.

Anyway, talk about your OYO empire that was overran by pregnant women and leave Ashantis. Why are you so interested about other people? Bini subjugated Igbos yet, Yorubas are the people living in penal servitude, loooooool.

lol.... you couldn't use available Google and i use it for you.

Any media with such propaganda will have appologise if it is not true. stop deluding youself, you don't need to validate the statement for it to be valid. wike alredy did.


the whole Dahomey empire was under oyo empire for quite numbers of years. and ashanti name will be mention alongside oyo since the two empire was the formidable kingdom of 16 century.


onitsha the igbo community was once a subject to Yoruba royal lineage. ( fact).

Yoruba and Hausa are currently subjugating the igbos. (Another fact). go kill yourself over it.

SuperIgbo1:

I don't care about your phantom oyo empire. All I know is that, it was overran by pregnant women and, I'd never take such "empire" seriously. Not an inch Igbo land has been annexed. Same thing can't be said about y'all.

And, stop lying. Wike would never say that.

Lol. you were not educated enough to debunk the available historical data i brought forward. Oyo and ashanti kingdom are formidable empires in 16 century. not some 40 by 40 rainforests kingdom. Even at that, binin with royal lineage to Yoruba kingdom was subjecting onitsha an igbo community.

if you can't use your Google . i will do it for you.

SuperIgbo1:
You can guarantee? The same way you guaranteed you were Ghanaian not Yoruba?

Is it rocket science to live in the US? Why you so bothered? And, if you must know, I'm not an immigrant, I was born and raised here.

lol.... continue the lies. majority of you igbos lies alot and hence the stereotype .

i am a Yoruba and a proud one for that matter. while i am also Ghanaian. from awutu breku. . A town called bawjiase

SuperIgbo1:
Stark illiterate ofe mmanu, stop projecting, loooooool.

Wike didn't say that. You don't even know he's a current governor not former, loooool. Show us one proof. Wike belongs to an Igbo sub-group but, some don't like being referred as Igbos. My mom is Egbema from Rivers state and she's proudly Igbo. Her Egbema kins in Imo state are also Igbos. You've never traveled beyond Ore so, STFU.

Igbos built no empires cos we've been practicing democracy long before many European countries. But y'all stayed at OYO, bowing to one face-bleaching useless king. You're a dumbass for saying Igbo communities were part of bini empire. Eze chima, who likely founded Onitcha is not of bini origin. He was an Igbo trader who lived in Bini. I don't expect you to know all these. Agbor, Owa and, Igbodo - I think were the only Igbo communities formerly under Bini but, they later revolted.

And Yorubas built no kingdom/empire. Your village market square empire, that was overran by pregnant women doesn't fit in the class of empires. You see the fulani caliphate? That's what you call a kingdom, not some market squares that never built anything. Sokoto caliphate conquered as many villages as they desired including many parts of OYO market square. And, Igbo Ukwu existed before any Yoruba market square. When Igbo Ukwu was building bronzes in the 9th century, your OYO village empire had no form of civilization.

When the Aros were building a confederacy, y'all were still bowing to one cowardly king. You should ask yourself why indirect rule failed to achieve much success in Eastern Nigeria. Igbos will never allow anybody oppress them all in the name of leadership.

Igbo women revolted against the British administration. Such thing was never heard of in your OYO village market square empire. In 1929, women from the former Bende district, Umuahia and other places in eastern Nigeria traveled to the town of Oloko to protest against the Warrant Chiefs, whom they accused of restricting the role of women in the government. The Aba Women's Riots of 1929, as it was named in British colonial records, is more aptly considered a strategically executed anti-colonial revolt organised by women to redress social, political and economic grievances.

so You are this daft and stupid. there is what we called monarchical democracy. that is what UK and Canada is currently practicing.

in the 16 century, oyo empire alongside ashanti kingdoms have one of the best governing system that is unmatched even to the Greece who birth democracy. for example, The Alaafin who was the king was assisted in the administration of the empire by a group of seven chiefs, known as the Oyomesi( This can be called member od parliament ) The Oyomesi ( member of parliament)was the supreme council and acted as watchdogs to the Alaafin(king) so the king does not have a final says. They were kingmakers and thus ensured that the Alaafin(king ) did not wield arbitrary powers.There is also Beshorun who was the head of the Oyomesi. If the Alaafin became tyrannical or unpopular. The Beshorun will present a calabash to the Alaafin, which meant that he had been rejected by his people, consequent upon which he will commit suicide. i wonder if Greece go this far advance style talkless of the igbos.


Again, oyo empire also had( judiciary system) known as Ogboni Cult. they are talented men, who served as a check on the excessive powers of Alaafin (king)and the Oyomesi (member of parliament)thereby making the empire democratic as they provided proper checks and balances in the various arms of government in the empire.


i could even write a book on this. i am a cultured man myself. let me relax small, i will educate you the more if you want to learn.


wike dully said your entire igbo tribe is useless. go check Google for that

Dahomey and his warriors had been under oyo empire for quite donkey of years, they serve oyo people, they pay tax to oyo kingdom and they render labour services. they are Dahomey captured slaves under oyo empire before they regain freedom. oyo lost a war she was not prepared for. women have been leading and winning war. the Dahomey is not new. Yaa asentewa is a woman in ashanti kingdom of GHANA , she lead the war that annihilated the british army and his supporting west African soldiers. she conquered the british army with their sophisticated weapons.

If you are from offa offer people are much better in character than ilorin people. Ilorin people their behaviour is more like northern nigerians they are too religious. And also ilorin people are kind of lazy all they do is sit outside the mosque so that they can get free food to be good for them they do not really have foresight. A lot of ilorin people they want what they have not worked only think they want to do is chop. Offa citizens are much better and their king the oluwa of offa is more progressive. Ilorin people will rather be slaves to the caliphate of sokoto.

The new modern ilorin are not slaves to the caliphate. It is democracy now where absolute power comes from the people and not from king palace.


The emir is simply a royal celebrity which job is purely ceremonial and diplomacy. The real de facto power now belongs to the people.

SuperIgbo1:
[s][/s]

You started again. I've asked you to stop giving dumb opinions about the Igbos, the most superior black race.

Can you for once focus on your Yoruba people? What's your obsession with the Igbos? Channel your energy to liberate your people in Ilorin from penal servitude and slavery. Talk about misplaced priorities.

An Igbo federal senator came up for Nnamdi Kanu as his surety yet, you believe Igbo elites don't support his movement. How do you think he gets funding for RadioBiafra?

Moreover, your obsession with the Igbos is really crazy. Talking about division among Igbo leaders, having you seen Ekweremadu cussing out Obi like Tifnubu does to Obasanjo? Tifnubu killed Funsho Williams. Have you heard of Igbo politicans killing themselves?

Man, focus on your impoverished people.

Ignoring this hogwash will permanently make you more deluded. empire fall and empire rises. in Nigeria historical settings, only few empires exists. Yoruba had one and Hausa/fulani had another. i failed to see any single igbo empire that is so powerful and economical viable than oyo and songhai. not some kind of 40 by 40 rain forest . in fact, the benin empire which had royal family blood lineage with yoruba people has a stretch of his empire up to onitcha. meaning, historically, onitsha was one time a subject under benin kingdom(That is igbo community).

Having fulani king in Yoruba kindom is not a new thing, The royal English monarch of Britain ancestral was from Germany, the Greece monarch ancestral was from Denmark. so this trend of a thing is normal .

And regarding ilorin, when it comes to administrative and politcical settings, Yoruba dominate, when it comes to wealth and education, Yoruba dominate. what you ignorantly and stupidly does not know is , there is now hybrid of ethnic group in ilorin monarchical settings.The Yoruba are in the majority and already, there is a hybrid. The younger sister of the current Emir of Ilorin, ""Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari""married a Yoruba . She is fondly called Iya. She married the late Aare Adisa Suberu. So, a Yoruba was the husband of Emir’s daughter and they had many children. who are hybrid of fulani and Yoruba. this set of people can become king. and if they do. it will be stupid to say, they are pure fulani. Yoruba blood runs thru them.

well, According to wike ( former river state governor), igbo people are the most useless tribe and in actuallity, your tribe are some of the reason why some other tribe will eventually leave Nigeria . they don't want their kids to end up being stupid and conform to mediocrity.

Nigeria is surviving thanks to Oil. If oil prices tank - Biafra will happen. Nigeria will not be able to function without oil - the gov will basically collapse -the military will take over - and then civil war will start.

when the power brokers of this world are interested, Nigeria will split like a Christmas cracket. Thankfully, the Nigeria unity is an economic benefit to them. And they are ready to sacrifice a minimum amount of their resources to protect it.

Under the current dysfunctional system of things in Nigeria , it is the multinational corporations that benefits so much both from having a weak government that can make and enforce statutes and from the influence of the relatively strong and influential government they represent.

Some of the Igbos did not support this Biafra of a thing?

Biafra will continue to failed because it was NOT supported by the real power brokers of the world at the beginning and at present. and as for now, Nigeria isn't ready. At least judging from all indications it will hardly come light. reasons :

1 The Igbos leaders supposedly to lead the movement are divided

2 Those in favor of this movement have little-to-no knowledge on it.

3 They dont follow the necessary procedures.
Some of the movement leaders are massively corrupt.

but in some cases I support this motion, if a particular group wants to break out and are having necessary plans and materials to run a Country with human welfare then they should be granted freedom but that is not the case, they are about to form another south Sudan while i guess those illiterate supporting actualization of biafra are simply seeking for Goverment attention. they don't really want biafra deep in them.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world, according to the 2019 Forbes billionaires' list released this week. With an estimated fortune of $131bn (£99bn) he is the wealthiest man in modern history.

But he is by no means the richest man of all time.

That title belongs to Mansa Musa, the 14th Century West African ruler who was so rich his generous handouts wrecked an entire country's economy.

"Contemporary accounts of Musa's wealth are so breathless that it's almost impossible to get a sense of just how wealthy and powerful he truly was," Rudolph Butch Ware, associate professor of history at the University of California, told the BBC.

Mansa Musa was "richer than anyone could describe", Jacob Davidson wrote about the African king for Money.com in 2015.

In 2012, US website Celebrity Net Worth estimated his wealth at $400bn, but economic historians agree that his wealth is impossible to pin down to a number.

The 10 richest men of all time

*Mansa Musa (1280-1337, king of the Mali empire) wealth incomprehensible

*Augustus Caesar (63 BC-14 AD, Roman emperor) $4.6tn (£3.5tn)

*Zhao Xu (1048-1085, emperor Shenzong of Song in China) wealth incalculable

*Akbar I (1542-1605, emperor of India's Mughal dynasty) wealth incalculable

*Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919, Scottish-American industrialist) $372bn


*John D Rockefeller (1839-1937) American business magnate) $341bn

*Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov (1868-1918, Tsar of Russia) $300bn

*Mir Osman Ali Khan ( 1886-1967, Indian royal) $230bn

*William The Conqueror (1028-1087) $229.5bn

*Muammar Gaddafi (1942-2011, long-time ruler of Libya) $200bn

The golden king

Mansa Musa was born in 1280 into a family of rulers. His brother, Mansa Abu-Bakr, ruled the empire until 1312, when he abdicated to go on an expedition.

According to 14th Century Syrian historian Shibab al-Umari, Abu-Bakr was obsessed with the Atlantic Ocean and what lay beyond it. He reportedly embarked on an expedition with a fleet of 2,000 ships and thousands of men, women and slaves. They sailed off, never to return.

Some, like the late American historian Ivan Van Sertima, entertain the idea that they reached South America. But there is no evidence of this.

In any case, Mansa Musa inherited the kingdom he left behind.

Under his rule, the kingdom of Mali grew significantly. He annexed 24 cities, including Timbuktu.

The kingdom stretched for about 2,000 miles, from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to modern-day Niger, taking in parts of what are now Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea and Ivory Coast.

With such a large land mass came great resources such as gold and salt.

During the reign of Mansa Musa, the empire of Mali accounted for almost half of the Old World's gold, according to the British Museum.

And all of it belonged to the king.

"As the ruler, Mansa Musa had almost unlimited access to the most highly valued source of wealth in the medieval world," Kathleen Bickford Berzock, who specializes in African art at the Block Museum of Art at the Northwestern University, told the BBC.

"Major trading centres that traded in gold and other goods were also in his territory, and he garnered wealth from this trade," she added.

The journey to Mecca

Though the empire of Mali was home to so much gold, the kingdom itself was not well known.

This changed when Mansa Musa, a devout Muslim, decided to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca, passing through the Sahara Desert and Egypt.

The king reportedly left Mali with a caravan of 60,000 men.

He took his entire royal court and officials, soldiers, griots (entertainers), merchants, camel drivers and 12,000 slaves, as well as a long train of goats and sheep for food.

It was a city moving through the desert.

A city whose inhabitants, all the way down to the slaves, were clad in gold brocade and finest Persian silk. A hundred camels were in tow, each camel carrying hundreds of pounds of pure gold.

It was a sight to behold.

And the sight got even more opulent once the caravan reached Cairo, where they could really show off their wealth.

The Cairo gold crash

Mansa Musa left such a memorable impression on Cairo that al-Umari, who visited the city 12 years after the Malian king, recounted how highly the people of Cairo were speaking of him.

So lavishly did he hand out gold in Cairo that his three-month stay caused the price of gold to plummet in the region for 10 years, wrecking the economy.

US-based technology company SmartAsset.com estimates that due to the depreciation of gold, Mansa Musa's pilgrimage led to about $1.5bn (£1.1bn) of economic losses across the Middle East.

On his way back home, Mansa Musa passed through Egypt again, and according to some, tried to help the country's economy by removing some of the gold from circulation by borrowing it back at extortionate interest rates from Egyptian lenders. Others say he spent so much that he ran out of gold.

Lucy Duran of the School of African and Oriental Studies in London notes that Malian griots, who are singing historian storytellers, in particular, were upset with him.

"He gave out so much Malian gold along the way that jelis [griots] don't like to praise him in their songs because they think he wasted local resources outside the empire," she said.

Education at heart

There is no doubt that Mansa Musa spent, or wasted, a lot of gold during his pilgrimage. But it was this excessive generosity that also caught the eyes of the world.

Mansa Musa had put Mali and himself on the map, quite literally. In a Catalan Atlas map from 1375, a drawing of an African king sits on a golden throne atop Timbuktu, holding a piece of gold in his hand.i

Timbuktu became an African El Dorado and people came from near and far to have a glimpse.

In the 19th Century, it still had a mythical status as a lost city of gold at the edge of the world, a beacon for both European fortune hunters and explorers, and this was largely down to the exploits of Mansa Musa 500 years earlier.

Mansa Musa returned from Mecca with several Islamic scholars, including direct descendants of the prophet Muhammad and an Andalusian poet and architect by the name of Abu Es Haq es Saheli, who is widely credited with designing the famous Djinguereber mosque.

The king reportedly paid the poet 200 kg (440lb) in gold, which in today's money would be $8.2m (£6.3m).

In addition to encouraging the arts and architecture, he also funded literature and built schools, libraries and mosques. Timbuktu soon became a centre of education and people travelled from around the world to study at what would become the Sankore University.

The rich king is often credited with starting the tradition of education in West Africa, although the story of his empire largely remains little known outside West Africa.

"History is written by victors," according to Britain's World War II Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

After Mansa Musa died in 1337, aged 57, the empire was inherited by his sons who could not hold the empire together. The smaller states broke off and the empire crumbled.

The later arrival of Europeans in the region was the final nail in the empire's coffin.

"The history of the medieval period is still largely seen only as a Western history," says Lisa Corrin Graziose, director of the Block Museum of Art, explaining why the story of Mansa Musa is not widely known.

"Had Europeans arrived in significant numbers in Musa's time, with Mali at the height of its military and economic power instead of a couple hundred years later, things almost certainly would have been different," says Mr Ware.
