1. As a 2.1 graduate of history, an Igbo man, decolonized and non religious fellow, I'm in a good position to tell you the unbiased history of the Igbos.

2. Ndi Igbo means Ndi Gboo (people of the ancient).

3. The Igbos do not have a common ancestry.

4. Different people from different origins came together in a place and formed the Igbo tribe.

5. "Insignificant" groups of people met themselves and formed the FIRST significant group of people in history; they were called "Ndi Gboo" (people of the ancient)

6. The first spoken language originated from the Igbos. It is the Afa language.

7. The first written language, the "Nsibidi", originated from the Igbos.

8. Some of the ancient migrants came from middle East. Some came from Southern Africa. There were also few indigenous (aboriginals) groups that also migrated from one part of Igboland to the other.

9. But there was something common among all the people, the unifying factor. They all adopted "oke offor".

10. Offor is a remarkable symbol in the entire Igbo nation.

11. People under one offor are forbidden from fighting each other...


Let me stop here for now

Thanks for this but it is just recently that ibos are now called Igbos

Anither563:
The first man is Chukwu and the first woman is Nne Chukwu. They gave birth to the rest of us.

As for the rest of your questions, it's like asking an Englishman to tell you the history of the Japanese or asking a Yoruba man to tell you the history of the Hausa.

The Igbos are not a dynasty, we are a people with many tribes and nations but we are all one.

Thank you.

Any scholarly article?

Salewa97:
The history of the people who have been moving from one place to another without knowing their destination.

Na lie we go tell them

You mean they have no history?

Who's the first man?

First crown or crownprince?

Any igbo kingdom or dynasty to reckon with?

Thank you

Igbos don't hate Buhari's family, calling out bad actions is not hate.
Do you like the Igbos? You all hate the Igbos so much and you turn around and say Igbos hate you all.
Who are the people saying Igbos will never be president, is that not a bigger hate? Also, what of those mocking the hungry children during the civil war?
I doubt if you are truly a northern? The north I know don't dwell in hatred.
We all know those who are always dragging the north into any little disagreement.
Northerners are not the ones creating twitter spaces to attack the Igbos daily.
What do you all really want from the Igbos? I always advise Igbo youths to be very careful when dealing with your types. A fellow countryman harbouring such hatred is a very dangerous person.
Your hatred towards the Igbos will only make them stronger.
So continue.

Saying Buhari is dead and replaced is calling out bad action?

Zooposki:


There is a difference between not liking someone and hatred. I don’t like a lot of people. Does not mean I hate them. I simply don’t want anything to do with them, but sometimes if they really need my help, my empathy will come into play and I will do what I can to help. I simply don’t want to be in daily with them, don’t want them involved in my affairs etc. etc.

Do you like all your family , colleagues etc?

If you say you h@te Igbos, will he beat you? Stop trying to explain things to these folks

MadamAlingo:

Crazy

It's really not funny anymore

In Nigeria, First Class Kings are traditional rulers recognized by the government for their high status and influence. These monarchs typically govern major ethnic groups or regions. Some notable First Class Kings include:

1. Alaafin of Oyo (Oyo State) - One of the most revered monarchs of the Yoruba people.

2. Ooni of Ife (Osun State) - Considered the spiritual leader of the Yoruba people.

3. Emir of Kano (Kano State) - A prominent leader of the Hausa-Fulani ethnic group.

4. Oba of Benin (Edo State) - The monarch of the Benin Kingdom, with a rich history dating back centuries.

5. Shehu of Borno (Borno State) - A key traditional leader among the Kanuri people.

6. Obong of Calabar (Cross River State) - The traditional ruler of the Efik people.

7. Oba of Lagos (Lagos State) - A significant figure in the Yoruba community of Lagos.

8. Tor Tiv (Benue State) - The leader of the Tiv ethnic group in central Nigeria.

budaatum:


You being sarcy?

You should wish this man had been head of state and president of Nigeria before. If what you are sure of were true, Nigeria would be heaven with constant electricity and plenty and peace by now.

Normal sarcasm na

Ok

I wish this man will contest one day. I'm very sure he will turn Nigeria to Dubai with constant electricity.

caye:
Oga, Bebigib1, don't worry yourself anymore, for the sake of your mental balance: Nigeria has no future.

If it has, many politicians would be with their children here:
Bukola Saraki
Buhari
Tinubu
Atiku ( now a permanent UAE CITIZEN)
Dangote
Dantata
Otedola

All their children are either not here , or just come and go.

They realise the truth, that Nigeria is a doomed country. It most probably will end up in a civil war.
And a.civil war is even an advantage to the agenda of the IMF/ WORLD BANK . They want Nigeria and west Africa depopulated.
So, try and get out of this failed country ( it's not a nation). Me, by the Grace of Olodumare, I'm running out soon.

It's over for this country.

Why did you omit Peter Obi. Whose son is even an established ga.y in the UK

Bebigiby1:
Well there were overwhelming evidence of perjury against Tinubu but the biased judges decided to dismiss it….

Overwhelming evidence like?

Damn

On what ground did you expect that Tinubu will be disqualified by the court?

You see that your last phrase ehn? Just unmask yourself

Lagos state Chairmen are delivering housing projects because Tinubu invested in LCDAs as a governor. He thought of funding LCDA instead of local government. He believed local government were too large and far away from the people.

Lagos is reaping the benefits. Show me a legacy of that man and I will vote for him in 2027.

NOTE... I didn't mention anyone.

Gajagojo:
Russia is about to take Pokrovsk. That will happen in under a month
The area is under intense pressure

This effort by Ukraine is hoping that Russia will divert resources away from Pokrovsk

I don't think that will work . Russia will continue with its onslaught on Pokrovsk and complete the takeover of Donetsk

The activity in Kursk cannot be sustained, I see Kiev itself coming under pressure soon


Russia is a huge country about 60% the size of Africa and so any unfriendly neighbours will achieve this kind of tactical victory

This is exactly why Russia is fighting this war
If Ukraine was ever allowed to NATO it is finished


What is interesting would be how the forces in Kursk would be supplied
Nevertheless it is quite embarrassing for Putin and one cannot rule out him being toppled but if that happens it would be by even more hardliners hawks seeking to capture all of Ukraine
This will not end well for Ukraine

You guys are funny sha. It is very obvious Ukraine is trying to break off supplies to Russia soldiers in various areas and round them off.

Nomercie:
Obi and criminal na 5 & 6.

No be lie

What?

lazkizz:
Am confused pls .... who us thus guy ??

He was Peter Obi's adviser who advised him to owe doctors 13 months salary

But Obi knew...

Tinubu did not know...

MadamVanessa:

MadamVanessa:



The Nigeria government should shut up their slavish dirty mouth. After owing China $440 million and still having in mind to borrow more and you think the China or Chinese companies don't have any right to take anything they so wish to so far it's owned by underdog self acclaimed giant of Africa.

At least read and stop disgracing yourself online.

Why not using a Made in Nigeria Presidential car?

Like Peter Obi used innoson as a governor?

STATE HOUSE PRESS STATEMENT

CHINESE COMPANY'S FRAUDULENT ATTEMPT TO STRIP NIGERIA'S ASSETS ABROAD

The Presidency is aware of the various failed attempts by a Chinese company, Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Limited, to take over offshore assets of the Federal Government of Nigeria through subterfuge.

The Federal Government is not under any contractual obligation with the company. The case in which Zhongshan is trying to use every unorthodox means to strip our offshore assets is between the company and the Ogun State Government.

The Federal Government is fully aware of efforts being made by the Ogun State Government to reach an amicable resolution on the matter.

It must be said without any equivocation that Zhongshan has no solid ground to demand restitution from the Ogun State Government based on the facts regarding the 2007 contract between the company and the State Government to manage a free-trade zone.

When the contract with Ogun State was revoked in 2015, the company had only erected a perimeter fence on the land earmarked for a free trade zone.

While the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice is working with the Ogun State Government on an amicable resolution, Zhongshan obtained two orders from the Judicial Court of Paris dated March 7, 2024, and August 12, 2024, without any notice being duly served on the Federal Government of Nigeria and Ogun State Government.

This arm-twisting tactic by the Chinese company is the latest in a long list of failed moves to attach Nigerian government-owned assets in foreign jurisdictions.

The material facts in the transaction between the Ogun State Government and Zhongshan point to another P&ID case in which unscrupulous and questionable individuals falsely present themselves as investors with the sole objective of undercutting and scamming Governments in Africa.

Undoubtedly, Zhongshan withheld vital information and misled the Judicial Court in Paris into attaching the Nigerian government's presidential jets, which are on routine maintenance in . The use and nature of the Presidential jets as assets of a Sovereign entity whose assets are protected by diplomatic immunity forbid any foreign Court from issuing an order against them.

We are convinced the Chinese company misled the Judicial Court of Paris regarding the use and nature of the assets it seeks to attach and did not fully disclose to the court as required by law.

This same Chinese company had tried to enforce its questionable judgment in the UK and USA but failed.

Like the P&ID case, foreign companies are trying to defraud Nigeria with the collaboration of some bureaucrats. Zhongshan appeared to have sold the judgment they got to a venture capitalist seeking to make money by embarrassing the Federal Government and President Bola Tinubu.

We want to assure Nigerians that the Federal Government is working with the Ogun State Government to discharge this frivolous order in Paris immediately.

Nigerian Government will always work to protect our national assets from predators and shylocks who masquerade as investors.

Background to the Zhongshan Fucheng Case:

A contract between Ogun State and Zhongshan to manage a free-trade zone was executed in 2007. The parties entered into a dispute in 2015, and arbitration began in 2016.

By 2019, the arbitration hearing had been concluded. The Arbitral awarded over 60 million USD against the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN), a co-defendant, when all Zhongshan had done was build a perimeter fence around the free-trade zone.

Based on legal advice, the Ogun State Government resolved to resist the enforcement of the award. The resistance was successful in 8 different jurisdictions. There are pending appeals against recognition orders issued in both the US and UK.

Ogun State also engaged Zhongshan in settlement discussions on reasonable . The last meeting, held in September 2023 in London, lasted for three days and was attended by several officials of Ogun State, including Governor Dapo Abiodun and the Attorney General/Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi.

Zhongshan’s initial reasonable readiness to consider Ogun State's offer was surprisingly reversed by the second day when it insisted on the government paying the full arbitration debt. This led to a breakdown of the mediation, with parties agreeing to meet again in the first quarter of this year.

Since then, Zhongshan has been evasive. Instead, it embarked on a series of enforcement proceedings, which the legal team appointed by the FGN and Ogun State successfully opposed. In cases similar to the present one, where Zhongshan obtained an ex-parte order, Ogun State successfully set aside the orders.

Ogun State has not given up on a reasonable settlement option, with the most recent letter sent to Zhongshan last week. Zhongshan only responded after obtaining this latest illegal order.
